Vivo for Healthier Generations

Did you know Vivo uses Merv 3 air filters?! What are those you ask? These are medical grade air filters – they keep our air fresh and clean for you. In addition, the majority of our facility is actually supplied with 100% outside air – meaning no re-circulation! You can breathe easy knowing that your health and safety are top priority with Vivo’s intentional design. And don't forget - stay home and rest if you are feeling unwell - take care of yourself 💚

Press play on activity!

Swap screens for active time in Vivo Summer Camps. Screen time and physical inactivity are real concerns — we know they’re on your mind! From lower physical activity levels and higher sedentary time to affected sleep patterns, we know limiting screen time matters.

At Vivo, we are pressing play on connection, activity, and joy. You can head to work stress-free knowing your child is going to make new friends, move all day long, and be an active part of a thriving community. Register for summer camps today: https://bit.ly/3NxhA0c

Have you heard? Vivo is the place to be for Neighbour Day! Get ready for an afternoon full of movement, connection, and community fun. You can look forward to sport activities, community fitness classes, s’more making and enjoyment, Indoor Park activities and entertainment, food trucks, and more. We can’t wait to welcome you and your family for an afternoon of neighbourly fun at Vivo!

Our connection to nature is not to be taken for granted! We know the profound effects that nature has on our bodies and minds – and we encourage you to explore those. Get outside in the morning sun, head for a walk in-between meetings, walk barefoot in the backyard while making dinner, or lace up for a run through the neighbourhood. Being outdoors boosts your mood and vitamin D – giving you a double-dose of goodness when paired with activity!

On days when the weather is less-than-agreeable you can head to Vivo’s Indoor Park to experience nature without the rain or wind. Our Indoor Park has been designed to follow the sun’s cycle, supporting your circadian rhythm despite being indoors! Experience the biophilic (our innate connection to nature) effects of Vivo’s Indoor Park.

Happy ! At Vivo, we see health as a wholistic puzzle made up of physical, emotional, spiritual, social, and mental - each piece needing attention. Today we celebrate being your community hub - your gathering place and workout space. Thanks for being here with us 💚

Drop-In for Mobility Max

Build strength through movement, not just muscle. In this class, you will engage in movements blending stretch, control, and functional flow, with the goal of improving your range of motion so that your body moves freely and efficiently. You will leave feeling open, aligned, and ready for anything.

Mobility Max runs every Sunday from 10:30-11:30am - we hope to see you there.

🏃‍➡️ It sounds simple but awareness is key. We know that moving more and sitting less matters for your health. Ensuring you are moving throughout your day is a simple and easy way to bring more movement to your life. The Government of Canada recommends being active for a minimum of 2.5 hours per week – at Vivo, we have plenty of ways for you to meet and exceed that goal!

🏃‍➡️ From sun-up to sun-down, we have drop-in group fitness classes, led by expert instructors, that are guaranteed to get you moving. If you’d prefer a self-led movement session you can swim, climb, lift, run, or skate your way to achieving your movement goals. Vivo Members enjoy access to all areas of the facility – learn more about becoming a member today.

🏃‍➡️ Regardless of how you want to get there, Vivo is your go-to when it comes to your wellness goals. Read more from our spring blog: https://bit.ly/4nIiC7j

Campfire Chat 🔥 Meet the Leaders Behind Camp Magic: Teagen Pennoyer: Camp Lead

From friendship bracelets to cannonballs in the pool, Teagan brings encouragement, energy, and connection to every camp day at Vivo.

In this week’s Campfire Chat, Teagan shares why camp friendship bracelets are a tradition she’d never let go of, the rewarding moment of helping nervous campers conquer the climbing wall, and the one camp activity she’d secretly try to avoid herself (sorry, dodgeball).

“I used to have a huge fear of heights, but climbing helped me overcome that,” she shares. “Being able to show campers that climbing is fun and that they’re safe is really rewarding.”

Whether she’s helping campers build confidence or creating moments of connection through simple traditions, Teagan is passionate about making camp feel welcoming, supportive, and fun for every child. Read Teagan's full campfire chat: https://bit.ly/4eY7JMi
