Layer Up (YEG)

Super simple blog today as I just want to focus on the importance of layering up. It is going to be a cold one this week and we have only been dealing with super warm weather recently. Time to get back in the groove. If you have any questions at all please feel free to message or chat with us at the workouts. If you would like one we have NP buffs for sale for 5$ each. read more

Extra Curricular (YEG)

Today was one of those classic ‘get the work done kind of days,’ and I have nothing else to say to you other than great job – you rock. Big kudos as well to our three first timers who braved the new year and crushed those stairs. The hardest part is getting there, after that I haven’t met anyone who regretting showing up. read more

Stairtime Ditties (YEG)

  • You got it!
  • Keep going!
  • Hold that pace!
  • You can do this!
  • Great work
  • Nice work
  • You can do anything for 60 secs
  • Let’s get to the top together
  • Double steps all day
  • 10 more steps
  • Get there Get there Get there

For 30 mins I’m saying these ditties as we pass and climb the stairs together and while I try and use names as I go honestly sometimes I get it wrong but that is a work in progress. I am positive that at the butt crack of dawn sometimes these words of encouragement on non-stop repeat can be a bit annoying but I don’t think it is not a secret to say that I do it for selfish reasons. Perhaps naively, I think that some folks benefit from it (seeing the gassed faces at the end of the workout might prove that point) but truly they help propel myself up those stairs. If I tell myself that if I can be positive for someone else I can do this workout too. Helps to silence those negative thoughts about how I can’t do it. And yes I definitely get those thoughts. read more
