Fifty 5 Fitness

Congratulations to Cathie for hitting her 100th Fifty 5 Fitness class! 👏🙌

Cathie is a personal training client of Emily’s who has been working diligently and consistently to rehab a shoulder injury. You can now catch her attending group fitness classes including the 55 Strength and the 55 All in One!💪

Cathie is committed to working with proper FORM as she continues to push herself to becoming stronger. 🤩 We love how hard she works, her infectious energy and her commitment to herself! 💕

Way to go Cathie! We are so proud of you! 👏

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

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

Can’t believe I’ve made it to 250 classes! What an enjoyable journey it’s been! I’ve been coming to Fifty 5 Fitness since 2019, I believe, after hearing about it from my daughter 
who is a friend of one of Emily’s friends. 💕

As everyone probably knows I’m a lover of the 55 Step class. I find it’s good for the mind/body connection, keeps you always thinking ahead & of course it’s a good cardio workout! I also like the 55 All in One! the 55 Strength and the 55 Warrior classes. 🙌👏💪

I’m a big believer in the social aspect of coming to classes. I’ve met some amazing women (& instructors) who I can now call my friends. I can honestly say when I wake up in the morning, I actually look forward to working out instead of dreading it. 🤩

Shout out to Emily and all the fantastic instructors for getting us up & moving in a safe & healthy way! 😊❤️

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

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

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

I did it, my goal was before summer and I friggen did it hahahaha. 🎉🕺🪩

I started at FIfty 5 Fitness a year after Emily hung out her shingle. I had just retired and wanted to do something for myself for once! How selfish 😉😆 Classes were Tuesday and Thursdays. I loved it right from the start. 😊

My absolute favourite class is The 55 All In One baby!!! Why? It is a complete body workout. Cardio, strength, balance and whatever the instructor throws at us, followed by a great stretch. I am also loving the 55 Strength.
In fact, I don’t think there is a class that is bad, they all offer a wide range of challenges, from the 55 Kettlebells to the 55 TRX to name a few. 👏

The Instructors are top notch. Their care for you is not missed. They support your limitations, modify on the spot and push you just enough to make you feel like you can do. 🙌

What I have noticed the most is the commitment I feel towards Fifty 5 Fitness and the people in it. I am stronger because of it. I am proud of being a part of Fifty 5 Fitness and what it has to offer for women over 55. I have met and made many great relationships by attending classes at Fifty 5 Fitness. Truly the best thing I have ever done for myself!! 🥰

P.S. please don’t think you can’t do this, call and come in for a class. I promise you will not be disappointed! Tell them Shelly sent ya 😊

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

See what Bobbie had to say about how working out at Fifty 5 & FORM Fitness makes her feel and why she keeps coming back! 💕

I feel invigorated after a workout because of the satisfaction in doing something good for myself and in having great visits with other folks at the gym! 😊

I come back for the workouts (challenging), the people who also attend (fantastic) and the instructors (knowledgeable, encouraging and fun)! 🥰

Way to go Bobbie, your enthusiasm is like no other truly and you are a joy to have in the studio! We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see you hit 1000! 🩷
