Highlander Strength & Fitness

What an honour! Thanks to everyone who voted Iain the best fitness instructor in the Valley. We emigrated here from Scotland almost 13 years ago and are proud to call the valley our home. We opened Highlander less than 6 months after we arrived, and we're still here! Iain's goal has always been to be the best coach he can be; he really cares about his clients and so this award means a lot 🥳😊🏋️‍♂️

Today is the last day to vote in the Grapevine's Best of the Bunch survey! We'd love it if you could vote for Highlander in 2 categories:
Best Fitness Instructor - Iain Smith
Best gym - Highlander Strength and Fitness.

Tell your friends too!

The gym will be closed Monday 23rd due to the coming storm....

A major winter storm is forecast to bring rapidly deteriorating conditions, beginning tomorrow through Tuesday, with heavy snow and blowing snow expected to cause near-zero visibilities.

Extreme snowfall rates are possible. Additionally, a brief period of freezing rain and/or ice pellets is anticipated. Some areas, particularly along the Atlantic coastline and eastern Nova Scotia, could eventually transition to rain.

Mixed precipitation will reduce drifting snow, but areas in Queens and Lunenburg Counties could experience snowfall rates of 5 to 10 cm per hour. There is a potential for thundersnow.

Snowfall accumulations are expected to be 10-20 cm across Nova Scotia, with 20-30 cm expected in western Nova Scotia. If the extreme snowfall rates currently projected occur, snowfall accumulation could exceed 40 cm across the South Shore.

Strong winds will increase on Monday morning, with the strongest winds occurring late afternoon into late evening. Peak gusts will range from 60-80 km/h, reaching as high as 100 km/h along exposed coastal areas and higher elevations.

Elevated water levels along the coast are expected with peak storm surge to occur near low tide Monday evening.

Residents should prepare for adverse weather, and potential power outages.

Expect widespread cancellations.

Yes, we are open for sessions this evening 😃

We currently have slots open in our mens sessions and our womens sessions. There's never a better time to start than now 🙂👍🔥

Our website is currently down... we're not sure what the problem is but we're working on it!

We are closed today for Remembrance Day; we'll be open again as usual tomorrow (Friday).

Nova Scotia moves to Phase 2 tomorrow... which means we can reopen! 😃 We have emailed all of our members, and we will be contacting those of you who enquired about joining later today to set up a tour.
