Our class format ensures direction on postural form and the correct mechanics of the exercises to protect the joints. Modifications are provided for any injury or compensation needed.

Cross Train Women

with Sandy
Thursday, 12noon – 1:00pm

Build your strength with like-minded women
Whether you’re coming to fitness to cross-train for a specific sport (like running, cycling, tennis, soccer, weight lifting, swimming or other) or training to balance out your days of sitting at a desk, this is for you!

Build your strength with like-minded women

In this hour-long class, you’ll have an appropriate warmup, about 40 minutes of exercise and 15 – 20 minutes of flexibility training to begin the recovery process. We work with free weights, bands, body weight, sometimes using a strap, a chair or the wall. You’ll find each session takes a different approach, whether mini-circuits, super sets, HIIT (such as tabata or other timing protocols), giant sets and more! Not only will this build your strength, spike your metabolism (= burning fat longer), and give you energy: it also helps to prevent osteoporosis (degeneration of bone density) which affects 1 in 4 Canadian women.

Cost: Livestream Class Pass

No two classes are the same, I love that! As a woman, it’s so empowering to lift weights, and, to see the changes in my body” Angie

Personal Training Means Results
Our emphasis at Fit Journey is on excellent form, programming and progressions appropriate to challenge an individual safely and at their level, ensuring training results and an enjoyable experience. Whether you’re a long distance runner or cyclist looking to push your PB, or someone who’s never enjoyed the gym yet knows you need to exercise, or if you’re working around an injury or illness: personal training will reap the greatest rewards with thorough assessment, customized programming, and regular benchmark checks. Conversations around personal nutrition, self care and accountability also benefit each individual. Variety is the spice of life! We utilize a broad range of equipment (including TRX, kettlebells, free weights, BOSU, balls & body weight) as well as many training methodologies (functional strength, HIIT, heart rate zones, pyramid sets, etc).
I’m a long-standing client of Sandy’s and am delighted with the results. I have better balance, endurance, strength and agility. Thanks Sandy, you give me that extra bit of motivation to keep moving, especially important as I age.” Carol

Hatha Yoga

with Sandy

Tuesdays, 9:00 – 10:00am
ON SUMMER HIATUS June 30 – Sept 5

Create Strength, Balance and Become Grounded
Hatha yoga is the ‘original’ yoga practice from which many other styles have expanded. We sequence the fundamental postures (asana) with the breath in a flowing manner, as well as breathing practices (pranayama), mudra, mantra, mindfulness, and meditation to tame and calm the mind and heart. Each class has a specific theme, usually with a benchmark posture and pranayama to bookend the experience, and finishes with a generous Savasana to integrate and encourage healing.

Cost: Livestream Class Pass

This is my neighbourhood oasis! I know I’ll be challenged and stretched (more than just physically), and feel wonderful every time. It feels like each practice is just for me!” Robyn

Gentle Yoga

with Sandy

Thursdays, 10:30 – 11:30am
ON SUMMER HIATUS June 30 – Sept 5

Gently improve flexibility, calm your mind and relax
If you like the sound of yoga’s benefits (flexibility, strength, joint ease, stress-release and relaxation) but don’t know where to start, this is the class for you! This gentle, well-instructed practice has modifications for every level and compensation. You’ll practice the basic postures & sequences, breathing techniques, short meditations and find yourself relaxed and refreshed when done!

Cost: Livestream Class Pass

I’ve tried yoga for years with little success. Then I found Fit Journey . . . making Yoga accessible to all levels. I’m home!” Barbara

Yoga for Runners

with Sandy

Saturdays, 10:15 – 11:00
ON SUMMER HIATUS June 30 – Sept 5

Yoga can put the sprint back in your run!
No matter where you are in the training cycle (runners, cyclists, tennis, hockey . . .), incorporating yoga will help! Special focus on releasing tight hips, lengthening sore hamstrings/calves/lower back; strengthening stabilizers and core; balancing differences from side to side. Work mindfully to release your tight bits, expect to sweat a bit and give yourself the gift of Savasana (integrated rest) at the end! Considered by many endurance athletes to be injury prevention & cross training combined.

Cost: Livestream Class Pass

I always feel every pose and sequence is just right for my body – just what I need. I’m positive I made it thru my first Half Marathon training, injury free, because of Sandy’s classes and guidance.” Shlo

Yoga for Stiff Bodies

Yoga for Stiff Bodies

with Sandy
Tuesdays, 6:00 – 6:45pm

RELEASE TENSION; MOVE WITH EASE; FIND YOUR CENTER
Some say they can’t practice yoga because they’re inflexible. Hmm, that’s a little like saying you don’t need a shower because you’re dirty! If you have a chronically tight body, or are recovering from an injury, or are dealing with stress and anxiety . . . this practice is for you! We work from exactly where you are, whether new to yoga or experienced. Wear comfortable clothes and get ready to move more freely in a Vinyasa style (moving with the breath).

COST: Livestream Class Pass

Yin/Restorative Yoga

with Denise
Tuesdays, 7:30 – 8:30pm

Some call this dessert! Delicious Yin & Restore
Combine the quiet yet powerful practice of Yin Yoga with the healing, relaxing practice of Restorative Yoga for a delicious, centering result. Yin poses focus on the connective tissues and muscles of the legs, hips, back, chest & shoulders. Restorative poses are fully supported with soft props. Denise gently guides you to further open the energy lines to encourage release and healing. This practice is especially beneficial for those with tight muscles and joints, or who are experiencing anxiety or fatigue, or who simply need to step away from the intensity of life. Cost: Livestream Class Pass
This is dessert for me! After caring for everyone else in my day, I can come and attend to my needs, love the deep holds of Yin and crave the wonderful relaxation of Restorative.”  Leslie
