One-on-One personal training sessions |
|
At Journey to Wellness,
we are committed to helping you adopt a healthy and fit lifestyle so you look and feel your best. When you sign up with
our one-on-one personal training sessions, you can expect safe and effective programming, exercise variety, regular education,
as well as constant support and guidance. But be aware that your trainer will hold you accountable so you will have someone
looking over your shoulder. For many, the accountability alone will give you the edge you need to succeed.
During personal training sessions, we can focus on cardiovascular exercise, muscle-conditioning, flexibility, nutrition
or a combination of all of these depending on your goals, strengths and weaknesses. Workouts take place in our private
studio so you can listen to the music you want, use the equpment when you want to and feel comfortable while you exercise. We
really do strive to make sessions as individualized as possible, effective and lots of fun!
Please contact
Deborah at info@journey2wellness.ca to schedule a complimentary consultation to discuss if Journey to Wellness is right for you. Spaces
are limited. |
Small Group Session (2-3 participants) |
Small group personal
training offers clients the enthusiasm and encouragement from a group environment while still getting personalized attention
and fitness routines tailored to your specific needs all at an affordable rate. Small group training (2-4 participants) is
perfect for a group of friends or co-workers who have similar goals, enjoy the added support and savings, but still seek the
expertise and motivation from a personal trainer. Imagine having a personal trainer for as little as $18.33* per session!
*based on a 20-session package for three participants. |

Regular exercise increases
strength, gives you energy, and keeps you healthy. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG),
exercise is just as important during pregnancy. Not only can proper exercise help alleviate common pregnancy discomforts,
it can also help prepare you for labor and childbirth. With a physician's approval, women can safely continue exercising through
to delivery.
Our prenatal fitness program teaches pregnant women how to exercise safely and effectively throughout
their pregnancy. The prenatal fitness class/training session will provide you with exercises that are safe and appropriate
for your changing body by combining elements of strength training, cardiovascular exercises, stretching, balance and relaxation.
Modifications for any level exercisers at any stage in pregnancy will be demonstrated.
Pregnancy is the perfect
time to commit to you and your baby's health. Exercise is an important component to your pregnant well being, as well as your
strength as a new mom. Please note that medical approval is required before you start your pre-natal exercise program. The
PARmed-X for Pregnancy, which must be signed by your physican, can be downloaded here. |
Post-natal Fitness (Classes and Private Personal Training) |
|
Now that you're a mom, exercise can easily become less of a priority. After all, looking after a baby is a 24-hour
job. What we tend to forget while looking after baby is that we MUST continue to look after ourselves! A healthy and happy
mom = a healthy and happy baby. Some important things to remember. - Daily
physical activity reduces stress and it can help you sleep better.
- Fitness
helps keep you healthy and has been linked to reducing the risk of some diseases and to warding off depression (help say goodbye
to post partum depression or just feel a little better on those days when our little darling turns into a monster)
- Cardiovascular exercise and strength training can help your body return to pre-pregnancy shape
faster.
- Exercise actually gives you energy when you feel like you have
no energy left. Yes, exercise will actually make you feel better! You just have to get moving!
- Exercise improves self-esteem, increases stamina and ultimately helps you be able to do continuous work for longer
(remember, motherhood doesn't end at 6pm!)
Whether you want to get back to your pre-pregnancy fitness level or simply gain the energy you need to play with your
kids at the playground, Journey to Wellness is available to help you to meet your fitness goals. And with our private studio
options, we can demonstrate how to work out with your baby or enjoy a personal training session while your baby sleeps!! Also
be sure to check our Classes section for Baby & Mom Classes in your area!

Nutrition Counselling/Coaching |
|
It is very important to remember that
Nutrition is vital when it comes to a healthy lifestyle. You can stick to an exercise routine perfectly but if you
do not pay close attention to your nutritional needs, you will not see the results you are looking for.
At Journey to Wellness, we understand the importance of nutrition. All personal training packages will include a nutrition
evaluation and continuous coaching. In addition to your exercise program, nutrition will become a part of your on-going regime.
Additional services such as cupboard/fridge evaluation and purge or a grocery store 'date' are available at additional costs.
Please contact info@journey2wellness.ca for further information. |
Workplace Presentations/Lunch n' Learn |

The benefits of health promotion
and wellness programs are vast and well documented. Health and wellness education in the workplace can: - improve morale
- decrease absenteeism
- improve communication among work groups
- increase
employee loyalty to your organization
- reduce alcohol and drug use risk
factors
The time you invest now to train employees in health and wellness
saves you money for your company later. In addition to the above benefits, wellness
programs can make a positive impact on your company's bottom line. Research suggests that for every $1 invested in health
promotion, your company can save between $3 to $5 in health and safety costs, such as medical, absenteeism and workplace accidents.
All group sessions are scheduled at 11am or 12pm Monday through Friday and can be customized to your needs.
Choose from a one-hour brown bag workshop on fitness or nutrition basics or opt for a full group fitness class for you and
your co-workers, focusing on strength training and cardiovascular exercises.
If your workplace is truly
up for the task, why not sign up for an eight-week Workplace Body Challenge
which would include before and after body weight and measurements, one weekly fitness class in your workplace, regular newsletters
to keep you motivated and a chance to find out just how competitive your co-workers really are! Contact Deborah for details.
