As the busy holiday season comes to an end, and new resolutions begin, why not start 2016 off right, and learn proper meditation techniques by taking part in our 3-part Physical Consciousness Workshop,
instructed by Jonathan McCaul.

Focus Personal Fitness Studio will be closed Thursday, December 24th at 12:00 noon. Happy Holidays from Focus!

Part of what makes the holiday season so great is being able to relax with family and friends, and to break free from daily obligations- at least for a couple of days. Another great component is the assortment of sweet and savory treats available.

We all have weaknesses, of which mine include gravy, chocolate, and most variations of dessert.  While it is perfectly healthy to indulge on occasion, how can you satisfy holiday cravings, without slipping too far from your normal routine?

What can be added to keep things healthy?

• Fibre is a BIG part of every meal. Don’t neglect your fibre over the holiday season. As you FILL UP on turkey and gravy, be sure to FUEL UP on broccoli, brussels sprouts, and spinach
• Christmas morning often consists of sweet treats. By taking 15 minutes, before breakfast, for a quick jog, you can help manage the effects of sugar, as it is digested best following exercise
• The holidays are often special because of the people we get to spend time with. When visiting, or hosting, family and friends, initiate an evening walk around the neighbourhood to get everyone moving

By following these steps to keep things healthier during the holidays, you can indulge without the guilt.Wishing you a happy (and healthy) holiday season!

2015 has been an exciting year for all at Focus, and we would like to thank-you for being a part of it. Through upgrades, renovations, new equipment, and new classes, we have been very successful.

Success never does come easy. We have had our share of challenges over the past few months, which included renovations to the space just above our gym, making cleaning and upkeep very difficult. At Focus, we take the cleanliness and appearance of our gym very seriously. We have been told that the work above us is almost complete. Your patience is much appreciated.

Thank-you to all of our wonderful clients. There is no better feeling in the world than seeing clients coming in on a regular basis, taking care of their health and quality of life. Thank-you for trusting us, and allowing us the opportunity to help you along your journey of wellness and health. I truly appreciate you being part of Focus!

Prior to, and moving into the new year, Focus will be continuing upgrades, starting with new lighting in the gym and studio. In 2016, we will begin to add new programs and services for our terrific clients, beginning in January with a Meditation and Breathing Workshop.
