Workshops

Picture


Take one of our activity-specific workshops to improve your performance by increasing your strength. Strong muscles let you perform more efficiently, with less effort, and decrease the risk of injury.
Our 90-minute activity-specific workshops will give you an understanding of the fundamentals of strength training: how to determine how much weight to use, how many reps and sets, how often to work out, how and when to increase the weight.
After this introduction (when we will also answer your fitness questions), we will do a workout tailored for one specific sport or activity.
You will receive a copy of this workout so you can continue on your own.
If you have a suggestion for a workshop not currently being offered, please contact us. We would be pleased to develop a custom workshop for you, your club, or your business.

Fit and Healthy, Simply
for people too busy to cook or exercise


This one-session workshop covers tips for preparing healthy meals and for fitting in exercise when you think you don't have time for either cooking or working out.

Quick, healthy, delicious
meals

Picture
Do you ever feel like there’s no time to cook healthy meals for yourself and your family? It’s no secret that we live very busy and hectic lives, and sometimes it feels easier to go through the drive-through when we’re feeling overworked and exhausted. The trouble is, a steady diet of fast food leaves us feeling even more tired with the unwanted side-effect of putting on some pounds. There are thankfully some establishments that are catering to providing healthier choices quickly. The problem is, not only does this get expensive, but we may end up consuming more food than we intended.

Join Liz Murray, Certified Integrative Nutrition Coach, as she gives some great ideas for delicious meals that don’t take a ton of time and will leave you with more energy and dollars in your pocket. Liz will provide some tips for making the most of your minutes in the kitchen, so you can eat healthy at home and can multipurpose what you cook for other meals during the week. You’ll leave this workshop feeling empowered rather than stressed, armed with a booklet of recipes that are easy, fast and nutritious. Oh, and bring your appetite, because you’re going to sample some recipes.

Quick, simple, effective workouts

Picture
Do you skip exercise altogether because you simply don't have an hour to spare? What if you could do your cardio in 15 minutes (or less!) and your strength training in 10 minutes? Add in a few more minutes to warm up before and stretch afterwards, and you will have had a great workout in less than 30 minutes, and you'll feel great afterwards.

Judy Wolff, Certified Personal Trainer, will teach you a few high-intensity interval workouts that you can mix and match for cardio and a whole-body strength workout you can do  with nothing more than a pair of dumbbells.

You will also receive handouts with detailed instructions so you can continue with these exercise routines at home.
