The Portal - Your Gateway To Wellness

FINAL CALL.

Strength + Recovery starts NEXT WEEK.

We’re down to the last few spots, and this is your final chance to grab one before we close registration.

If you’ve been watching this series thinking…

“I should probably do that.”

“I’m nervous because of an old injury.”

“I’ve been recovering and don’t know where to start.”

“I want to get stronger, but I need someone who actually understands modifications.”

STOP WAITING.

This is exactly why we created Strength + Recovery with Dr. Brett + Portia.

Four weeks of Reformer Pilates, education, modifications, strength building and learning to trust your body again — with a team there to meet you where you’re at.

You do NOT need to be stronger before you start.

You start so you can GET stronger.

DID YOU KNOW?

Kim offers 1:1 private sessions at The Portal.

Maybe group classes aren’t your thing yet. Maybe you want more individual attention, want to build confidence before jumping into class, or simply love having that entire session focused on YOU.

That’s exactly what privates are for.

Kim has limited private availability for September, so if you’ve been thinking about trying Pilates one-on-one, now is the time to grab a spot.

Reach out to Kim directly or send us a message and we’ll get you connected.

Your reformer. Your pace. Your session.

CUE TAYLOR SWIFT.

Don’t say we didn’t warn ya.

This is officially your LAST CHANCE and our LAST POST about it.

No more reminders.
No more “I’ll think about it.”
No more waiting for another sign.

This is the sign.

If you’ve been watching, thinking, debating and creeping the details… it’s time to make the move.

We’re closing this chapter and moving on — with or without you.

So… are you coming?

Last call. Last chance. Let’s do this.

WELCOME SEPTEMBER.

It’s officially here, and that means the second week of September we are RIGHT BACK AT IT.

Three series. Two studios. One very good reason to finally stop saying, “I’ll start in September.”

Well… September called. It’s time.

Beginner Reformer — Pembroke
Beginner Reformer — Petawawa
Strength + Recovery with Dr. Brett + Portia — Pembroke

Whether you’re brand new, nervous as hell, getting back into movement, or looking for more support with injuries, recovery or simply understanding your body better — there’s a place for you.

You don’t need to get ready before you come.

Showing up IS the start.

So… are you joining us?

Pick your series. Claim your spot. Let’s get back into routine.

SEPTEMBER SERIES UPDATE

September hasn’t even started and you guys are already SELLING OUT our series.

SOLD OUT:
Mom + Movement
Intro to Reformer — Petawawa

ONLY A FEW SPACES LEFT:
Intro to Reformer — Pembroke: 3 spots

Summer routines are over. September routines are IN.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign to get back into it, this is it. Grab one of the last spots before we’re posting another SOLD OUT.

Routine looks good on you. Let’s do this.

Book through Momence or message us!

ALMOST TWO WEEKS OUT.

If you’ve been watching our Strength + Recovery Reformer Series and wondering if you should sign up… here are THREE reasons to stop wondering.

1. YOU’RE NERVOUS TO MOVE — AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHY THIS EXISTS.
Old injury? Recovering from surgery? Postpartum? Mobility limitations? Or maybe you simply don’t trust your body the way you used to. You don’t have to figure it out alone.

2. YOU GET DR. BRETT + PORTIA TOGETHER.
Movement, modifications, education and Reformer Pilates all in one series. This isn’t about keeping up with the person beside you. It’s about learning how YOUR body can move and getting stronger from there.

3. WAITING ISN’T BUILDING YOUR CONFIDENCE.
At some point, you have to start. Four weeks of showing up consistently can be the beginning of feeling stronger, more capable and a whole lot less afraid of movement.

We’re officially almost TWO WEEKS AWAY, and spots are filling.

If you’ve been saying, “I think this one might be for me”…

IT PROBABLY IS.

September 10th | Pembroke
Strength + Recovery with Dr. Brett + Portia

Don’t wait until the night before and hope there’s still a reformer with your name on it.

Sign up now under SERIES.

VIRGO BIRTHDAY #2 GOES TO JO!

Bonne fête to the MAN of The Portal — bringing all the zen vibes and apparently keeping the building together while he’s at it.

5 reasons why we love Jo:

1. He’s ALWAYS down to help.
Painting the building black when pink didn’t exactly work out, changing light bulbs, building shelves… yoga instructor or unofficial Portal handyman? At this point, we’re not sure.

2. His class plans are PERFECTION.
From the words, to the delivery, to the touch, to every tiny detail you probably don’t even realize he planned. It’s all intentional. And yes… Virgos are perfectionists. Exhibit A: Jo.

3. He did his 500-hour yoga training in NEPAL.
And came home with some weird drink for us to try. It was… tasty enough. We’ll leave it at that.

4. He’s the OG YOGI.
Portia was practicing with Jo at Power of You more than 15 YEARS AGO. Anyone else around here remember those days?!

5. WE MISS HIM.
Jo is currently recovering from a major surgery + injury, so he’s been away from The Portal — but he’ll be back when he’s ready, and we cannot freaking wait.

Until then, we can absolutely flood this post with birthday wishes.

Happy birthday, Jo! We love you and all the calm, kindness + zen you bring through The Portal doors.

Drop Jo some birthday love below!

FLOAT YOUR STRESS AWAY.

Yep, we have a float tank too — and it’s big enough for TWO.

Come solo, shut out the world and enjoy some serious quiet time, or bring your significant other and float together.

Before class? Float and arrive completely relaxed.

After class? Even better. Move your body, then disappear into the float tank and let everything slow down.

Our float is available Thursday, Friday + Saturday, and you can book for one or two people.

Consider this your reminder that recovery counts too.

Who are you bringing for a float?
