Spring News

Dear Fitness Anywhere Family,

A very brief outline of things happening at the studio this Spring that you don’t want to miss out on:

1) I’m very pleased to announce that we’re giving you an opportunity to share your experience with others, and fully reap the benefits of it with our Pay it Forward Promotion! For the month of May only, we’re giving you a $100 gift card, that you can use on whatever service you’d like at the studio (Personal Training, Group Training, Corporate Group Training, Online Nutrition, Online Video Training, gift giving etc.) for getting 3 new people to sign up for ANY of our services. I’ve attached a document that you can use to forward, to print and give, or to share on Facebook. It’s easy and amazing what a little nudge will do. I’ve also copied it below. Be the reason someone changes their life. It’s a great feeling!

2) Announcing the addition of 7 am morning classes to the schedule. Yes! Taught by Mark and Andrew Tuesdays and Thursday mornings. Reserve as always.

3) Official email introductions to two great new trainers and a great new class at our studio. Mark Crossman will be leading groups of individuals looking to get fit through Eastern traditions that will whip you into shape. It’s called Muay Thai Conditioning and it’s on Tuesdays at noon and Wednesdays at 5pm. Come to get fit, or also great if you just need to hit something, HARD! Also, Jessica Magnan joins us as our Head Yoga instructor, and offers a great Power class on Fridays and Private Yoga instruction to help keep the muscles long and lean between workouts.

4) Save the date, Saturday September 21st we’ll be holding an intimate health and wellness workshop at the studio, with a variety of speakers from many different backgrounds such as alternative medicine and naturopathy, chiropractic and massage, holistic nutrition, cooking healthy, bio-signature assessments and the list goes on. Tickets will be limited for this event and on sale at the end of June.

We’re on the Cover of FACES Magazine this March for Top Fitness Center!!!

Faces cover

Thanks for nominating us for TOP Fitness Center Ottawa 2013 in Faces Magazine Now we need you to vote! Owner Kathy Robitaille is up for Ottawa’s Top Entrepreneur and Fitness Anywhere is up for Top Fitness Centre! You’ll see Kathy on the cover of the magazine this month. Although the studio is modest in size, the business is growing. It started from nothing but an idea, lots of hard work and loads of positive-life-changing results. With Andrew joining the team as my partner last year we are now able to help thousands of clients all around the world meet their health and wellness goals, with our video training, online nutrition, really making the name Fitness Anywhere true in every sense. Please join the party and vote for us. We’re up against big corporate gyms. We know each of our clients history and progress off by heart. Not to mention their families and every detail that makes them who they are. Can the other big gyms say the same? Wouldn’t it be great if the underdog, family business won just once?

Testimonials

What are people saying about our services?

“In January, I saw the announcement for a Boot Camp which would be offered here at the NCC. My interest was sparked but I thought that I was too old for this type of activity. I asked the members who were already a part of this and was reassured that I could go at my own pace and that KATHY WAS WONDERFUL! I signed up and off I went to my first session. I had bought a yoga mat and some workout clothes to be even more serious about this decision. I have to be honest and admit that the first two weeks were hard and yes I was very sore. I was told to keep coming and that it would get better and IT DID!!! It is now seven months later and I am about to celebrate my 58th birthday. I have not felt this fit and healthy in many, many years. I sleep so much better and my energy level has soared. I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to feel better. It does require a certain amount of persistence and work but the results will amaze you, I guarantee it. I purchased skinny jeans for the first time ever last week and I have to admit that I am looking pretty good!
Sincerely,
Danielle Normand”

`Le Boot Camp avec Kathy a changé ma vie! Depuis que je m’entraine avec Fitness Anywhere, les bienfaits physiques et mentaux sont innombrables. J’ai arrêté de fumer, j’ai atteint mon objectif de perte de poids, j’accepte les défis du quotidien avec beaucoup d’entrain, j’ai une confiance d’acier, je dors mieux, je mange mieux, bref, je suis une nouvelle personne. Kathy sait nous motiver et nous pousser à aller toujours plus loin. Chaque cours est différent, stimulant et nous fait travailler différents muscles. Je ne pourrais imaginer une semaine sans Boot Camp! Merci Kathy `

I’ve been enrolled in the NCC Bootcamp with Kathy of Fitness Anywhere since late last Fall, and I totally love it!!! Kathy is an awesome trainer, she’s great at challenging us and keeping us motivated. Even with a knee injury, I was able to continue the Bootcamp classes by adapting the exercises to my ability. Kathy was very helpful in providing alternative exercises that were easier on the knees. The classes are never the same and the groups are small. I like Kathy’s classes so much that I also go to her studio for a third weekly Bootcamp session! I’ve never been big on “gyms”, but I’m addicted to Kathy’s classes!! The classes are never easy, especially at the beginning, but the results are so worth it!!! My fitness level and health has improved enormously since joining Bootcamp…I’m thinking of running my first race next year (maybe even this Fall)… something I’ve never thought I’d be able to do. I’m always looking forward to my next training session with Kathy!

“Fantastic class! Trust me I’ve tried a few and it’s very upbeat,
motivational and effective!! I totally recommend it!” Stéphanie Séguin

“Since I started Kathy’s bootcamp, I quit smoking, I feel better
overall, I have more energy, I sleep better and my body is starting to
tone and take shape.” Anonymous

“Kathy’s Boot camp is amazing. In 2 weeks I went down one full
dress size …Having it at the NCC at 7 am is great. It’s done I get it
over with and I feel absolutely fabulous all day … And the best part is
the camaraderie, the support and the motivation I get from my team
mates…. Bellissimo!!!!” Marisa Monaco

“After the first day, I thought I was going to die but after only five
classes, I’ve gone done one belt loop and am totally motivated to
integrate more activity in my day. The atmosphere is fun and the
group had bonded in our pain and our success.” Anonymous

“Bootcamp is just amazing; Kathy keeps things upbeat and pushes
you to the next level. Since I have started bootcamp I am more toned
and feel great all day. Kathy introduced me to something new called
Suspension training and now I am just addicted and can’t get
enough!!” Patricia Verière

What do they say about our Personal Training?

I love Kathy!!!! and let me tell you why. I found Kathy from doing a search on Google for personal trainers in Ottawa. I’m a working woman and busy mom of two, so I needed someone who could meet my needs and not the other way around. Kathy comes to my house twice a week and I go to her once a week.

Kathy offers a variety of exercises every time we meet. Sure there are some I don’t like to do but they work. I also like that she has come into my basement and among my junk has found lots of things we can use to exercise, chairs, walls, my children’s mat letters…. She sees the possibilities in my basement, where I only see junk.

She is also very knowledgeable. We have talked about nutrition and other topics related to health. I also choose Kathy for the way she looked, might sound funny but let me explain. When I was looking for a trainer, I didn’t want someone who had veins bulging out of their body, I can see that Kathy is very fit but she is not extreme. I was also looking for someone young with full of energy.

Kathy is always cheerful, happy to see you and sincerely cares.

Another thing that is very important to me, is our schedule and being on time, I’ve been working with Kathy since last November and she has not cancelled one appointment and she has always been on time.

I recommend Kathy every time I get and I am very happy to be working with her.

Dear Kathy

I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know how very I’m pleased I am. I’ve lost 16 LBS and 12 inches since I started training June 15. It is amazing and I know due to my limitations it will take me a little longer to reach my goal, but I have no doubt that by Christmas I will. Kathy I feel great and last week I tried on a pair of jeans that I haven’t been able to fit in since 2004. Kathy thank you again for your helping me. Bye for now.

Yours Sincerely

Sue Milner Stayura
Ottawa Client since June 2011

5 Reasons to Choose A Personal Trainer Over a Gym Membership

Here are 5 Reasons to choose a Personal Trainer.

#1 Motivation – Even Olympic athletes experience lags in their levels of motivation, so why would you be any different? Heading to the gym to perform the same old routine can be monotonous after a few weeks. Working with an experienced Personal Trainer, who changes your workout regularly and adapts it to your needs and who is ready with plans to overcome barriers, is invaluable when it comes to achieving your health and fitness goals. The best kind add variety to your workout and come to you.

#2 Time – It can be a challenge to find the time to squeeze in workouts at a gym. Not to mention battling traffic, finding parking, or having to take public transportation, only to wait in a queue to use the cardio machine at an overly crowded facility. Fitness Anywhere sends a Personal Trainer TO YOU, no matter if you’re on your lunch hour at work or at home. Our training sessions work around your schedule, and they maximize your precious time by choosing the most effective moves that will get the results you are looking for faster than randomly using machines at a gym. We’ll also give you the keys to working out on your own, for those days when you just can’t manage to squeeze in time with the Trainer.

#3 Individualization and Personalization – Tried working out in the past and didn’t get the results you wanted? When it comes to fitness training, individualization is the key to success. Because every person is so different in mind, body and spirit, your training sessions should be as well. After a free consultation with a Personal Trainer, we’ll customize a program that is specifically geared to your body type, your mind set, and your individual goals for health, weight and fitness. Forget about experimenting with machines or classes that aren’t right for you. Your time is far too precious. We’ll help you see results fast.

#4 Money – It is inevitable that when you want RESULTS, you will have to budget a little bit of money, one way or another. Not only do we customize a fitness program for your specific goals, we also find ways to customize your payments so that they work for you. Choose our pay monthly option, pay per session, or choose a 10 session package. The options are numerous, so have a look at our pricing page for more details or ask us directly during your first free consultation.

#5 FUN – Studies show that success in achieving health and fitness goals is directly related to your social support system and whether you perceive the experience as fun and enjoyable. Having a Personal Trainer to encourage you each step of the way, can add a fun element to your workout.
**If you already have access to workout facilities, ask us how we can make your experience better with a Personal Trainer by your side.

GIVE US A TRY! THERE IS NO OBLIGATION AND YOUR FIRST CONSULTATION AND TRAINING SESSION ARE 100% FREE. WE ARE THAT SURE YOU’LL LOVE WHAT WE DO!
