WHAT'S NEW? WELCOME TO OUR MAY NEWSLETTER!

Ah May, who doesn’t love May? The flowers are finally up here in Canada, the songbirds are back and many of us are starting to spend more time outdoors, staying active and healthy.

Here at FLEXAFIT, staying active and healthy has definitely been a theme.

First off we wish to extend a hug thank you to all our participants of the ”Fire In Our Hearts, Ice In Our Veins” Fundraiser benefiting the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto. We raised a total of $632! Way to go FLEXAFIT skaters!

We have a list of growing classes including our adult jump classes with adult flexibility and a separate adult conditioning added on. Our adult skaters have been enjoying these classes so much with Jessie! Even though all of our classes have no age limit, adults have been finding our adult specific classes very beneficial and focused for their particular levels of training.

Our adult conditioning class and adult flexibility class on Mondays starting at 6:00 PM EST is for all adults including non skaters. If you as a skating parent have been looking to workout as well, here is your chance. Come join us!

We have also added beginner jump classes as well as our new Resistance Band workout class. Resistance bands are such a wonderful workout tool. They are portable, perfect for coming with you to any location, and offer a level of training that helps to increase muscle, stretch and tone in their own unique way.

Come and join Sarah on Monday evenings at 5:00 PM EST teaching our amazing Resistance Band workout class; try something new and you might find it becomes an integral part of your training routine! Again this class is not just for skaters, all are welcome! See our online class schedule here.

Testimonials have been coming in. Here is one from a mom whose daughter has been training with one of our certified trainers and participates in FLEXAFIT online classes:

I wanted to share with you all what FlexaFit has done for Whitney’s skating, according to her coach…..

“Whitney’s coach is excited by the improvement in Whitney’s jumps on ice because of the time she is putting in off-ice. FlexaFit classes have improved Whitney’s jump height, rotation speed in jumps and landing position. Core classes and on-line flexibility have led to improvements by leaps and bounds in her spins because she can hold the proper position longer and her transition in combinations are much faster and smoother because of the exercises.”

Thank you all so much….

Darcey
