Fifty 5 Fitness

⭐️Meet Christina and Ted⭐️

Christina has over 250 group fitness classes and personal training sessions under her belt and is making huge strides in increasing her overall strength and mobility! She’s been working hard to re-hab a shoulder injury while simultaneously building strength to avoid further injuries. 👏💪

Ted has been consistently coming to personal training for a couple years now a couple of times a week. He too is working to improve strength and improve his overall fitness level. 💪👏

This recently retired power couple finds time to come to the studio both together and separately to continue working towards their goals! As avid divers and world travelers, both Christina and Ted want to continue to enjoy the things they love for many more years to come. 🤩 They both understand that continuing to work on strength, mobility, balance and coordination will only help them better enjoy the things they love!

Way to go Christina and Ted! We love having you part of our community and are happy to be a part of your fitness journey! 🩵💜

🤩 BIG congratulations to Debbie for hitting her 250th Fifty 5 Fitness class!

Here is what she had to say about her time at the studio:

1. How long have been a member of the studio? I think I’ve been a member for about 4 years. It doesn’t seem that long ago I started.
2. What’s your favourite class(es)?Hmm, favorite classes, the 55 Warrior and the 55 Strength but really, I haven’t done a class that I didn’t like. What I like about these classes are the modifications offered to increase the intensity depending on how my body feels on a particular day. 💪👏

Since I’ve started I feel so much stronger, I sleep better and I have more energy. 🤩💕

I really love Fifty 5 Fitness. The instructors are knowledgeable, encouraging, creative and fun. I feel very lucky to have found this gym! 🥺😍

Way to go Debbie! We are so proud of you and love that you are a part of our community! 🩵 💜

“I’ve really struggled with what to post after my Dad’s passing. Hell, even just posting at all.

How do you follow the post where I told all of you about it? It has a special placeholder in my feed. I can’t push that back. And that hasn’t even been the hardest part of all this.

But he would have wanted us to push on. To continue to do great things.

And so, since movement and simple, actionable drills made such a big impact on him and his battle with cancer, I thought it’s time we help even more people, and what better way than in his memory?

Enter 𝗙𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿. 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿. 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲.

Two events scheduled thus far to help all of you achieve better movement and optimal health, because 𝗠𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗠𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗡𝗘.

✨ Rosanna hits 500! ✨

We are so incredibly proud of Rosanna for hitting 500 Fifty 5 Fitness classes since May 2023! 🎉

“I’m delighted and grateful to have the privilege to embrace this milestone! 💪🙌👏💕

When I retired in the fall of 2017, one of my goals was to get my fitness back after too many years sitting at my desk! Early in 2018, I took the first step and reached out to Emily and attended my first class at Fifty 5 Fitness and haven’t looked back! 👏

Full credit to Emily, and her dedicated and knowledgeable team for keeping me engaged and helping with modifications for cranky body parts over the years! My workouts are part of my daily routine each week and I couldn’t imagine not working out!!
Thanks for helping me do that! 🥹

I enjoy a variety of classes each week but, the 55 Kettlebells is my favourite challenge! Grateful for each workout!💪🏻

The community at Fifty 5 Fitness is an inspiring, encouraging, supportive, fun group to be a part of. So grateful for the connections I’ve made there over the years! 💕

My ongoing goal is to age with as much strength and mobility as possible and I am so happy to have found, not just a gym but, my happy place that helps me focus on that goal! 😍

Glad I took that first step, grateful to Fifty 5 Fitness and all the staff and community keeps me coming back!
Thanks!” 😊 💕

Way to go Rosanna, you are truly an inspiration and joy to have in the studio! We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see you hit 1000! 🩷
