Don’t be sad, cuz sad spelt backwards is das, and das no good (YWG)

Wisconsin Notes:

  • Plogging recap
  • Today’s workout recap- legs on fire
  • It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later

Sunday, we did some spring cleaning around the Forks. The Forks has been NP Winnipeg’s meeting spot for over 5 years now and we decided to give a little bit of our time to give back to the place that means so much to us. Thank you to all of you that showed up and plogged around (and even brought your kids, which made my heart feel all mushy on the inside because kids are the best and basically the future of anything and everything!!) read more

Flying like Jets (YWG)

Wisconsin notes:

  • Derek is back from sabbatical
  • Friday April 12- last hot yoga at Awesome Hot
  • Sunday April 14 – MEC race 1
  • April 19- Good Friday Pop Up
  • April 26- Fridays start back up again

Here’s a quick update about Winnipeg’s spring thus far: It’s April and it’s still snowing. It’s not enough snow to to create a blizzard or white out conditions..but do you know what will create white out conditions? THIS CITY! This city is fueled by passion and endless energy and that’s exactly what you all brought this morning! read more

Spring has sprung, let’s have some fun! (YWG)

Winnipeg notes:

  • Last Friday at Awesome Hot Yoga: April 12th
  • Stay tuned: Friday mornings will be coming back to the Ledge– date TBD
  • Five bucks for a new buff
  • Spring has sprung

Can it be true? Is it really spring time?  It just so happens that spring isn’t just a myth in Winnipeg. It’s really happening and it’s happening right now. The sun is out longer, snow piles are slowly melting, paths and parking lots are visible again and new obstacles of crusty piles of clumped ice mixed with snow and rocks covered in a sleek sheet of wet have been created. But the weather is getting warmer – it’s so warm out that this morning I saw so many of you peel your layers off to cool down and Mel even peel her layers off down to her t-shirt. read more

HÉ HO! (YWG)

Winnipeg! Have you heard the news?! There’s a new BUFF in town and it’s hot off the press! We only have a limited amount, so show up and claim yours while supplies last. Bring 5$ cash next Wednesday or the NP special 2 for 10$! Don’t wait too long, we might be sold out.

This morning’s workout was inspired by Le Festival du Voyageur. This festival celebrates many of the good winter things that we Winnipeggers do and love and it also reminds and teaches us about the history of Winnipeg. So we started this morning’s workout with a Canadian Northwest Passage bounce and headed to the Beaufort Sea. read more

Level Up (YWG)

Wisconsin Notes:

  • PR Day in the Cement Castle
  • NP Christmas Curling Party 
  • The Great Skate is coming..
  • Positivity Award

The past few Wednesday’s have been a bit of a battle for me- I keep telling myself that I’m not actually sick and to keep moving and going with what ever I have going on, because I don’t want to let the little barriers or excuses slow me down. So I want to thank you all for each and every Wednesday that you are there bright and early with your warm hugs, hi5’s, smiles and loud voices, because I know that no matter what, my day will be better by showing up. read more

  • Wednesday October 31st : Helloween (and no…that’s not a typo)
  • Thursday November 1st: 3rd Peg City Scramble (book that evening off now)
  • FRIDAY OCTOBER 5th : TRUST ME- DO NOT MISS THIS WORKOUT

Today we celebrated Mean Girls day by wearing pink AND because 1. it was Wednesday and 2. its October 3rd and 3. well, because myself and Megan are just mean girls that make you run around in the dark and lunge for a solid 6 minutes (BTW- if you haven’t seen the movie yet, take an 1hour and 37mins to watch it because none of the following references will make sense to you, but might still be funny). read more

  • PEG CITY SCRAMBLE THE 3RD is NOVEMBER 1ST

“On October 3rd, Aaron Samuels asked me what day it was…I said, it’s October 3rd ”. Since THAT DAY falls on an actual Wednesday, you better wear pink biatch! Otherwise, you can’t sit with us. Kinda. Seriously though, if you are reading this, get out your pink attire ready for Wednesday. You won’t regret it. read more
