Starting May 2nd, I'm going to be offering an 8-week Fit Camp session in the great and beautiful outdoors! Training outside has so many benefits and I can't wait to get you out to discover them all!
In my Fit Camps, I focus on high-quality training and put your safety first. You can feel confident that if you sign-up for this program you will not be lost in a crowd, and you will get the attention you deserve! I strive to help each person I train adopt a healthy and maintainable lifestyle. I will help you set realistic goals and will help you learn how to make exercise and healthy eating a regular part of your day!
Now, the workouts are tough. I've never been called an "easy" trainer, but it has to be hard if it's going to be effective. In saying that, I don't push hard without a purpose and you'll never be pushed beyond your limits (which can lead to injury and disappointment). I use my education and experience to provide you with sensible, efficient, and effective workout classes. Every class is different and we use various types of equipment to achieve a total body workout! You will never get bored, that's for sure!
Registration for this program is $275 and you'll get: 24 exercise classes, my jog-training/cardio class on Saturday mornings, a fit test at the beginning and end of the 8 weeks, a healthy cooking class and grocery shopping tour with a registered dietitian, newsletters, a 5km race at the end of the program, discount on July's Fit Camp, and more!
Classes will be held downtown at the Confederation Landing Park (Peakes- center of the oval track) as well as in Stratford along the Bunbury Road by the Cotton Centre. You have the ability to attend any three classes a week that suit your schedule, and can move around between the different days, times, and locations as often as you need to in order to make up your 24 classes. The schedule is:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday- 6:15am (Peakes or Stratford- decision will be made by demand), noon (Peakes), 4:30pm (Peakes), and 5:30pm (Peakes)
Tuesday, Thursday- 4:15pm (Stratford), 5:15pm (Stratford)
Saturday- 9am (Stratford) + 10:15am jog-training/cardio class (free to all Fit Campers, $5 for outsiders)
If you are unable to attend 3x/week, I do accept 1-2 day/week registration as well, but strongly encourage 3x/week for optimal results. Some perks may not be included for 1 or 2 day/week registration. Contact me for details.
Classes fill up quickly so please message me at embodybia@gmail.com or call 367-4929 to sign-up! This is your chance to achieve your goals and become a fitter, healthier, and happier you! Let me help you realize that you're worth it :)

Today!
I know it's short notice, but I wanted to mention that there is a 2.5 and 5k run/walk this evening hosted by the Running Room at 6pm! All are welcome and all proceeds are going to the IWK! I would love to attend myself, but I'm teaching a class until 6:30pm and won't be able to, but if you're free you should check it out! John Stanton will be there handing out prizes and giving out medals to those who participate! If you don't know who John Stanton is, well he's a best-selling Canadian author (books on running) and the founder of the Running Room :)
This is a great cause and an excellent way to get out for some exercise!
Enjoy yourself!

New Fit Camp!
Alright, it's that time again! The time when I get to announce a brand-new session of Embody Bia Fit Camps, and the time you get the opportunity to take part in a program that will change your life :)
Embody Bia Fit Camps run for 8-weeks and are designed to change the way you live your life. You're going to be put through 24 demanding and intense workout classes that will test your will-power and determination! Every class is different, but the focus is always to make you sweat and bring your muscles to fatigue! We use various types of equipment and training techniques to achieve this. You will be taught how to have perfect form on every exercise, to keep you safe and optimize your results. You will never be bored! Feel free to check out Embody Bia on Facebook to see what current participants think of the program! Simply search "Embodybia" under groups!
The starting date of the next Fit Camp program is Feb. 28th. The classes are open to men and women, and everyone who registers for this session will receive a discount on May's upcoming outdoor program! There will be an uptown and downtown location and you have the ability to attend any three classes a week (1-2x/week registration is available- ask for details) at any location to suit your schedule. The classes are an hour each and the times are:
Downtown Monday, Wednesday, Friday - 6:30am, noon, 4:30pm, and 5:30pm
Uptown Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday- 5:30pm (Tuesday and Thursday), 9:30am (Saturday)
I'm excited to announce that this session will include a healthy cooking class with a registered dietitian, Jennifer Brenton, from the West Royalty Sobeys, as well as grocery shopping tour to help give you the tools you need to eat right and stay healthy during your day-to-day living. You will be put through a fitness assessment at the beginning and end of the program so you can see how your strength, cardio, and flexibility have progressed, I can do measurements if you'd like, and you'll also receive regular newsletters with advise, nutrition information, recipes, and motivational tips to keep you on track!
I'm also choosing a 5k race for everyone to take part in together for this session! In every Fit Camp program I try to encourage active living outside of the regular "purposeful" exercise programs. I've run many races with my clients and feel it's the perfect way to feel good about yourself and realize how fit you've become in only a few short weeks! We usually do breakfast together after the race and take pictures to celebrate our accomplishment!
If you're interested in learning more about Embody Bia's upcoming Fit Camp, please call (367-4929) or email me (embodybia@gmail.com) as soon as possible. In order to give you the attention you deserve and the quality of training that's required to keep you safe, my class sizes are limited. This means you need to reserve your spot quickly!

Show me what you're made of!
This is a shout-out to all my current Fit Campers! Congrats to all of you on making it half way through the Fit Camp program :) It's been an amazing 4 weeks working with all of you, and I'm so pleased with what you've been able to accomplish. Everyone's form has come a long way since day 1, and your attitudes and determination have really been inspiring!
Over the remaining few weeks, I want you to kick it up a notch! I'm going to go hard on you and want you to show me what you're made of! I want lower squats, perfect posture on your lunges, complete control through the core! I want you to jump higher, I want your push ups lower, I want you faster, stronger, and more focused! Bia is the greek spirit of force, determination, and power- I want you to embody all that she represents!
Don't get discouraged if I'm correcting your form more or encouraging you to push harder over the next few weeks. There will be no babying you from this point on! I want the best for you, and I want you to want the best for yourself. You have paid me to be your trainer- I would be doing you an injustice to expect anything less than your best ;)
Put a smile on your face- this is going to get good!

Are You Ready to Change Your Life?
January 3rd marks the start of Embody Bia's 8-week Fit Camp Program and, I hope, the start of your journey to a happier and healthier lifestyle!
The title of this blog, 'Are You Ready to Change Your Life?', is a serious question. I'm asking it because I do not expect any less by attending my program. If you're ready to receive the program as it's meant to be received, then you will change the way you live, and it will change your life.
I do not train people to lose weight; that's one of the results of my training, absolutely, but it's not my main focus in the majority of my cases and I don't believe it should be! I train people to; live healthfully and happily; remain strong and independent through the ages; have confidence and improved self-esteem; increase energy and allow them the ability to keep up with their kids and grand-kids; improve intimacy with their significant other; sleep better at night; reduce risk of injury, illness, and disease.
Now, with all that said, of course you're going to shape, tone, and sculpt your body in Embody Bia's Fit Camp. But that's just a bonus! This program is intense, and it will demand a lot from you- that is why it's going to change your life. You're going to surprise yourself in each class with what you're able to accomplish. You're going to walk out having done things you didn't think you were capable of! That's going to make you feel like you can tackle anything! If you stay positive (as I'll encourage you to do- especially during the really tough stuff!) you will have a new sense of strength and drive to direct to all areas of your life.
I'm very excited for January's program and would love to see you there. I'm going to use various types of equipment to keep you on your toes, and no two classes will ever be the same! You'll receive regular newsletters with nutrition information, home workouts, and little tricks-of-the-trade that will help take you to the next level.
Class Schedule:
Monday, Wednesday, Friday: St. Paul's Church Hall on Prince Street at 6:30am, noon, and 4:30pm
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday: Spa Total Fitness Centre in the Ch'town Mall at noon and 5:30pm on Tuesday and Thursday, and 9:30am on Saturday.
Pick any 3 days a week that you're able to attend to make up the 24 classes over the 8 weeks. If you miss a class, you can make it up within the 8 weeks by attending any of the other classes on the schedule.
To register, or if you have any questions or concerns, please email me at embodybia@gmail.com, or call me at 367-4929.

New Round of Fit Camp
I'm very excited to announce that I'll be starting a new round of Embody Bia Fit Camps on January 3rd!! This next Fit Camp will be 8 weeks long and, ideally, you'll choose any 3 days a week to attend. There will be morning, noon, and evening classes and two fantastic locations to choose from.

Feel Sexy!
Looking good makes us feel good, and feeling good, helps us look good! The two go hand-in-hand. I was watching Kelly Osbourne on TV yesterday and she talked about her recent major weight-loss. She mentioned that she started by going out and buying really cute outfits to where to the gym. She said she'd do her hair and makeup to feel pretty before her workout too! It may sound kind of silly, but I actually think it's a great idea!
Go out and buy yourself some nice, comfortable workout clothes that fit the body you have now and make you feel good! You'll feel more confident as you walk into the gym or your fitness class to do your workout. When you feel confident, you'll also feel a bit more powerful and will be able to push yourself a bit harder during your routine. It's true that when you start to feel good about yourself, you'll start to want to better yourself!
I went into Zellers today between classes and they have really cute workout attire! It's inexpensive and actually really great quality! I also found a really nice workout section at Smart Set too! You don't need to go spending a fortune on this new outfit. Just something that fits well and makes you feel good. So go and treat yourself to some nice new workout clothes to help you start your journey, or get a bit more motivation to continue your journey, to a healthier and sexier new you! Just remember, the goal when you workout is not to model! You need to actually WORK, and sweat, and grunt, and feel the BURN! So, although you may look great before you're training, you better look like you worked damn hard at the end of it!! So, ladies, maybe sweat-proof mascara and skip the eyeliner! ;)
