If you’re new to the gym, unsure where to start, or looking to build a healthy and balanced approach to long-term fitness, this program is for you. Together, we’ll explore the power of mindfulness, movement, and physical strength.
Our goal is to cut through the confusing messages often pushed by the fitness industry and bring it back to the simple, sustainable basics that truly work.
Each session includes:
* A yoga component
* A strength-training component
* Short lessons on mindfulness, nutrition, body image, and finding joy in the process
We’ll start each session in our private training room and transition to the main gym for the strength-training portion during the final weeks. This is a safe, supportive space to build confidence, learn lifelong skills, and discover what your body can do.
OUR INSTRUCTORS
Emma struggled with body image and confidence growing up, but later learned to appreciate what her body could do, instead of being focused on what it looked like.
Experience with sport, injuries, and years of training has helped Emma see how strength has a big impact on all areas of life. She loves helping others find this in themselves.
Emma has worked in the sport, fitness, and strength and conditioning industry for over 15 years. She has also competed at the IFAF World Championship (2013, tackle football), CANPL National Championships (2025, 2026, powerlifting), and continues to learn more about what she is capable of.
