Heather brought her A-game efficiency to the 2020 Fall Fitness Fantasy League Challenge and showed up for herself everyday by getting to the gym early right after she finished teaching! She put in some treadmill time and always got her steps in before working hard during class on the weekdays, and spent time on the weekends running and walking outdoors to help with her 10lb weight loss!!! Heather has always supported others to make time for the gym, just as she does even with... her incredibly busy lifestyle with 2 teenagers and full time work. This was even more evident during the challenge when she was always present in team discussions and motivated her teammates to get the job done just like she was! Having the accountability for yourself and surrounding yourself with like minded people makes all the difference when you are working towards your fitness goals, and this is evident from Heather’s success during this challenge!

During the Fall 2020 FItness Fantasy League Challenge Aimee successfully WOWed everyone with her incredible physical accomplishments, but her other strength that this challenge highlighted that is not so readily captured in a photo was her encouraging, positive, and friendly attitude!!! Aimee began the challenge wanting to snap out of the COVID-19 slump that so many of us were struggling with and aimed to measure these goals by completing 15 000 steps a day, 5 times a week, r...unning 5km, 3 times a week, and lose 10 lbs! Not only did she absolutely crush each and everyone of these goals, she, along with many other challenge members began stepping (and running and swimming and push-upping) outside of their comfort zone by trying new forms of exercise while striving to reach their fitness goals! Aimee was a huge supporter for so many others, by including anyone to come for a swim in the pool, encouraging and motivating anyone pushing through 100 gruelling burpees or that last km on a treadmill. Aimee highlighted what this challenge meant for so many - a chance to become a part of the atmosphere where we showed up and gave it our all as everyone around us motivated and supported us rather than going through the motions of a workout regimen at home. The challenge reminded us that while we may have dumbbells and videos at home, we thrive off of genuine human interaction and how incredible it feels to celebrate our successes alongside our friends that are experiencing success as well!

Hey Everyone! Here is the weekly class schedule for 2021!! We are excited to see everyone back, and to welcome new Barn members to our incredible fit family we have here!

Have a watch, This was sent to me this morning by Tracy Lacoste. Thanks for this Tracy! Reminds me of what it all about, training to be the best versions of your selves to prepare us for everything that life my throw at us. Ps never to old to start!

Hey GUYS! We have an FB live video workout coming for you today at 10:30!! Stay tuned for a fun (and sweaty one!)

Hey guys, hope everyone’s holding up well, I know it’s not easy. This closure has most likely effected you on a mental level as it has on a physical level. I am staying positive and still hoping to open next week. That being said we want to help these at home workouts by lending out weights in case this goes longer. A few issues that we had last time. 1.Weights were returned rusty. ( please do not leave weights outside or in a damp area) 2.We had to hound people to return ...weights, some we did not get back until up to 2 weeks after we opened. (For those borrowing equipment, they must be returned on Tuesday before 12 PM, any day after that for every day will be a five dollar fee charged to your credit card that will be put down when you come to collect the weights) 3. Weights were not returned at all. ( covid has been tough on all of us, as a small business we cannot afford to give away our equipment. Weights are not only very expensive but hard to come by currently. Anyone who doesn’t return the gear this time will be charged for the equipment and the time that it takes me to run around and track it all down.) 7-9am tomorrow morning we will be there if any of you want to come grab weights to use at home. Send me a msg below if you are interested. Thanks, Emmett
