Join us for an early morning workout at Sullivan's Pond. We'll tone,
tighten and get you feeling you great for the rest of your day. This
class goes rain or shine!

Kettlebell/Pilates Combo
Pilates & Kettlebell training work the whole body with little or no isolation of body parts. Kettlebell & Pilates combine to condition your core dynamically – join instructor  Elvira Tutic, for this 45 minute class.

Wow, what a great Saturday morning kettlebell drop-in! I decided to take Craig's drop in class as I was in between clients.

We had an awesome turnout for the first session! Guys and girls were sweating and working super hard- it was an 800 calorie class this morning (with all the quads we did, it might have inched us closer to 1,000!)

Quite a few new faces in the class, new to kettlebell that is, but of course some of our die-hard clients were there too.

Yoga-Pilates Fusion - NEW!
Both Yoga and Pilates help balance the body from left to right, top to
bottom, front to back, limb to limb, and muscle to muscle. Pilates
exercises and yoga postures develop healthy breathing, flexibility and
concentration, and also provide a mental focus and release that is
challenging yet rejuvenating. This class is appropriate for people new
to Pilates and/or Yoga, as well as those who would like to integrate
their prior experience.

Classical Pilates is a mind/body discipline based on the original
system of controlled movements developed by Joseph Pilates more than 60
years ago. The method focuses on creating a healthy balance between
strength and flexibility of the total body with a focus on core
stabilization. Pilates consists of mat exercises and can be further
enhanced by small props. Join Pilates instructor Elvira Tutic Wednesday
evenings to jump start your week.
Starts April 7-May 12th  (Wed); 5:15-6:00 p.m. 
Cost: 6 weeks for $108+HST

We have been having a blast with our RealRyders! We are so pleased to see others are too, check out these reviews on the RealRyder:

The RealRyder ABF8 was just named the "HEAD OF THE CLASS Award Winner" as the best indoor cycle out of 30 bikes including the Star Trac Spinner NXT, the Schwinn Evolution SR, and the LeMond Revmaster Pro in an independent review :Fitness Professor Review Cardio:Spin Bikes

RealRyder Indoor Cycling is Here

The RealRyder™ bike is a revolution in indoor cycling.

I know that December is a really busy month for everyone, shopping, travel, holiday functions, great food, family…

Keeping fit during this hectic time of year when food and festivities are abundant can be difficult- we don’t always make the best choices and really we should try and enjoy ourselves.

I decided that from December 10th -29th we would offer drop in classes (pay as you go) when our workshops have ended. There’s no weekly commitment but you’ll be able to get in some much needed exercise and keep healthy during the holidays.

On Monday evening I received a call from the shipper asking for my customs broker because they were picking up a  shipment for me. I started to get a little excited.

I spoke with the shipper this afternoon and she told me the bikes are due to arrive in Nova Scotia on Monday- how awesome is that?

I'll keep you posted on delivery, installation and when our instructors get trained.

Happy Weekend! 

Here is a great testimonial from a girl who tried out the RealRyders for the first time in New York City. She obviously blogs a great deal and is quite raw in some of her language.

Word on our RealRyders, they are currently being held in customs awaiting entry to the US so they can continue on to Dartmouth to the Core Essentials Studio. The room is ready and waiting! I'm hooking up the stereo system this week!

Oh, don't worry you won't need cycling shoes to ride but if you have them you are able to clip in as well.
