This week marks the start of the new fall schedule of fitness classes at the Spa Total Fitness Centre. I'll be teaching eight classes a week at the Spa and all classes are open to non-members as well! Here is my schedule:
Monday, 9:30am: Total Body Strength Conditioning- Using various types of equipment, I'll work every muscle in your body, from head to toe, to tone you up! With some cardio, balance, coordination, and flexibility training included in every workout as well, this is a complete exercise program! Ideal for ALL fitness levels!
Tuesday, Thursday, 12:10pm and 6:10pm, and Saturday, 10:10am: BFit- One of my favorite classes! This is an interval-based workout that is held in the tennis courts. We do 3 minutes of cardio (jumping jacks, plyometrics, kickboxing, sport drills, etc.) followed by 1 minute of strength (lunges, squats, push ups, etc.). There is no equipment in this 45-minute class, instead you learn how to use your own body-weight for an unbelievable calorie-burning workout! It's great fun and modifications are always shown for low-impact options. Get ready to SWEAT!!
Wednesday, 9:30am: Cardio Blast- This brand-new workout will be similar to my successful "Total Body" class, but will involve some serious bursts of cardio to really get the heart pumping and sweat dripping!! With lots of equipment options, this class will be constantly changing to keep you on your toes!
Friday, 4:30pm: SPIN!- I loooove to teach indoor cycling classes and am so happy to be teaching one every week! Indoor cycling is such a great, low-impact workout! It burns serious calories and is a fantastic workout for toning and shaping the lower body and building core-strength. Make sure to bring your water bottle and grab a towel from the front desk for this one!!
Alrighty, those are my classes! Make sure to check some out :) And email me at embodybia@gmail.com if you have any questions!

New Sessions Starting at the Spa!
Hi Everyone!
I just wanted to spread the word that I'm going to be starting up another session of the extremely successful Get Fit program, as well as a second session of my new Activ8 program!
Get Fit is small group personal training program that runs twice a week for four weeks. It's designed to educate you on how to exercise properly and help you develop PERFECT form so you can achieve the best possible results!! You will learn how to use new types of equipment and encouraged to try things you've never tried before! You can expect to improve all areas of fitness and truly develop a mind-body connection! You'll receive nutrition information and your eating habits will be monitored to insure you're diet is not hindering your results! Weight and measurements are taken at the beginning and end of the program.
Get Fit is ideal for people who are new to exercise, haven't exercised in some time, or for those looking to get off a plateau and add dynamic and fun new routines to their current regime! This program is for a MAX of 6 participants, so sign-up ASAP to ensure yourself a spot! I will be running this session on Mondays and Wednesdays at 4:30pm starting on August 30th.
Activ8 is for groups of 8-12 people and is dynamic, fun, and extremely effective! You can expect to gain muscle, lose fat, and improve your strength and cardio significantly! The program runs twice a week for eight weeks and is half outdoors, half indoors. The workouts will vary every week to keep your body guessing and in a constant calorie-burning mode. There is a nutrition component and weight and measurements as well.
This program is INTENSE, and not recommended for new exercisers! It's very demanding, and you can bet you'll be pushed to your limits, but I PROMISE you will love it!
If you're interested in learning more about these programs, or are not sure which would be the most suitable for you to join, simply email me at embodybia@gmail.com or call the front desk of the Spa at 566-1400!!

Attitude is Everything!
Do you ever stop and listen to how you talk to yourself? Are you encouraging, kind, and gentle? Or are you mean, discouraging, and harsh? Do you believe in yourself? Like, truly believe in yourself? That you're strong and capable and that, although some things may be difficult, you can push through and come out on top? If you do, pat yourself on the back, because you're one of the rare ones!
Life is short, very short. Far too often people spend their entire lives believing that they're not amazing. They walk through life never going for what they really want. They don't know the power that's within themselves to achieve the greatness they desire. This, is very sad. I was once a self-doubting individual but over time I've learned to change my ways. I owe my can-do-attitude to my father, who believed, and still believes, that I'm capable of anything. He encouraged me to learn how to encourage myself, and to give myself credit when due. I can't thank him enough.
In my line of work, I see so many different attitudes within various fitness levels. I've watched people who look relatively fit collapse after a simple exercise, shaking their head exclaiming that it's "too hard", then someone twice as heavy pushes through with ease and a smile on their face. With my experience as a trainer, I know this much is true: attitude is everything. Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right.
If you repeat, over and over in your head, "this is too hard, I'm not fit enough to do this" or worse "I could never do that" before you even try, you're doing yourself an injustice! Instead, say "Man, that looks tough, but I'll do my best!" and smile. When you're doing a really hard exercise, repeat to yourself "I love the burn, it feels SO good!" while grinning a devilish smile on your face that will let everyone around you know you're tough as nails!! It WILL make a difference in how you workout! It WILL make a difference in how you LIVE your life. In order to succeed, you must first allow yourself to believe you're capable, and deserving, of success.
