Welcome to the Barbie technicolor 5 month transformation✨💖

November 21st- April 7th❄️🌸

I wanted to make a post to thank a very special person for making my studio to come life. My dad put his heart and soul into this space to make my dream become a reality.

It is truly a rarity to have someone who can extract what I see in my brain and be able to execute the details. This is exactly what my dad did with my home studio and he did it once again in the new studio. My creativity and ideas can come across as daunting to some, but I know I always have one special person who understands what I am envisioning and works toward the goal with me and make it even better than I originally intended.

My dad worked day and night and (literally) put his blood, sweat and tears into his work. He completed every inch of this renovation from false framing to drywall, mudding, flooring, painting, archways, lighting, ceiling elevation, doors, trim, baseboards and even wallpaper mural installation with a non square bathroom (10 hours later..ooopps😬).

This was a massive project and I truly would not have been able to do it without him. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Also a big thank you to my friends and family for helping with the last minute details from flooring, putting ceiling tiles back, moving equipment and assembling furniture. It truly takes a village and I am beyond grateful for mine.🩷

I am so thankful for you all!!💖

Welcome to Excalibur Physiques 2.0 🤍

A little sneak peek into our new studio. We have been working day and night on this project for the past six months putting our heart into every little detail to make this space come to life.✨

We still have some fun additions getting added in the coming weeks but we have been so eager to share this with all of you.💖

A HUGE thank you to all of our clients for being so incredibly patient since November. We appreciate each and every one of you and are so grateful for you to be part of this journey.🌸

More updates to come!
With gratitude,
Nina

Meet Sophia ♓︎

Sophia is a badass entrepreneur, respected wellness practitioner, fitness powerhouse, mom of 2 and caretaker of many (if you’re her client, you know). Sophia has been working on her body composition over the last year all while growing her business empire and navigating an immense amount of life hurdles. 🌱

Sophia was no stranger to fitness when she joined Excalibur a year ago. She had restarted her fitness journey in 2022 and lost a total of 40lbs through biking and running. After her weight loss journey she felt unsatisfied with her body composition and wanted to refine her physique, thus starting our journey together in January 2025.💪🏼

The goal was to create a “tighter” more “toned” physique that looked strong and healthy. Improving posture and increasing energy was also a priority. Sophia battles with a number of autoimmune conditions so managing inflammation and her recovery responses was key throughout this past year. ❤️‍🩹

We took her through a multiple cyclic training cycles to ensure she was progressing lift after lift to build muscular endurance, strength and hypertrophy. We also worked on increasing metabolic capacity through reverse dieting by slowly increasing her nutrient intake.📈

Fun fact- mature lifters will be slower to put muscle mass on compared to a newbie. Expected muscle mass ranges from 2-5lbs per year vs 6-12lbs for a new lifter. Sophia added 4lbs over the course of the year which is a phenomenal feat!! 🙌🏼

We are beyond proud of her progress and cannot wait to see what she continues to accomplish this year🥰❤️ Big things ahead!!

Transformation time- coach edition xo

Self coached, Brooklyn has guided herself through every part of her health and fitness journey. 💕💪🏼

💚2017-2018
Struggled with weight, confidence and little balance in nutrition. She was not working out at the time and was looking for ways to allow her to feel more comfortable in her own skin.

🩵2019-2021
The approaches she used to feel more confident took her town a different path included restriction of food and working out excessively with led her to develop an ED. Her confidence was low, she struggled to maintain a healthy mindset and felt lost

💛2022-2024
Fast forward to 2022 where she enrolled in the health, wellness and fitness program at Mohawk college and completely changed her mindset around her body. She focused on performance- speed and running as well as yoga. She became the captain of Mohawk’s CC team, worked on her relationship with food, became an ambassador for Modo Yoga and focused on how she felt, not how she looked.

🩷2025
Today Brooklyn is the epitome of balance. She trains 3-4 days a week, runs for enjoyment, practices yoga for mindset and uses the 80-20 rule for nutrition. The days where confidence is low she approaches with grace and continues to work on her mindset.

🤍The reason why you want to lose weight are just as important as how you lose it. Fostering a healthy mindset around fitness and nutrition in a support environments can make all the difference.

History time📖

A little background on how the “1200 rule” came to be and why the whole concept is flawed. 👎🏼

We are not machines. We are not “calories in, calories out”. We are complex beings with individualized needs. ⚛️

Moral of the story? Lets leave the outdated research rooted in shame and clout where it belong… in the past.📙

Fuel your body to thrive and flourish and it will thank you in the long run❤️
