Your Healthy Priority
If you asked most people what was the most important thing in their life I wonder if ”my health” would be the first thought that came to mind. Yet without good health we cannot work effectively, or be there for our families, or enjoy a happy social life style. We tend to take our health for granted and yet without it, our mobility, independence and freedom from pain can all be threatened.
What an irony for someone who has worked all their lives building the ability to retire and follow their dreams, only to find themselves at that magic age and in poor health and unable to realize their life long ambitions. We cannot always control what we were dealt in our genes or what life might have thrown at us which now effects our health. We can however improve our odds tremendously for a long and healthy life by taking control of our physical fitness and getting active on a regular basis.
There are many different ways to get active and it is important for you to choose something you enjoy doing whether it be running, swimming, cycling, Martial Arts or working out in a Gym, you need to feel good about what you are doing and believe that it will make a difference to your health and well being. All you have to do is make a decision to take responsibility for your most precious asset and invest in it heavily …… Go for it !!!!!! ………….Here’s to a happy, healthy life …. Cheers
Workout of the Month – “Family Values”
Turning Boomers Into Zoomers
It was 1946 and the world was emerging into the light of affluence after suffering the effects of the Great Depression and World War II. For over a decade following, a literal demographic tidal wave occurred as the globe regained its mojo and the greatest increase in birth rate ever recorded occurred.
These bouncing babies enjoyed a new kind of freedom and prosperity but had the daunting task of remodeling society as they passed through it. The baby boom generation was the first to have a genuine expectation that life would improve with time and resources seemed infinite.
Half a century later, as the boomers enter their sixties, they continue to increase our knowledge of life and living. In the realm of physical activity, there are those who redefine our notions of “being put out to pasture” with active achievements beyond our wildest outdated expectations. On the other end of the active spectrum, there are those who are teaching us that everything requires balance and the adverse effects of an over-worked, sedentary life.

Join Us at 20 Dickson – Lifestyle and Legacy
It is our pleasure to invite you to join our fitness family at the new facilities located at 20 Dickson Street. After 10 years of providing quality health and lifestyle programs we are thrilled with how the new building turned out (thanks to all of the artists and trades workers for an epic six month effort!)
The build is designed to inspire our students and become part of the history and lifestyle of Galt. In a former life, the location was home to Fraser Hardware and for decades was a place where locals could pick up the necessities for daily living. Coincidentally, many years later, local can still get the necessities for daily living, but in a different form…fitness!

Fitness Kickboxing / TRX Studio
The Fitness Studio offers classes in the rhythmic and cardio-intensive, FITNESS KICKBOXING, the slightly more intense combative conditioning of KICKBOXING-X, as well as the best overall body workout available…Open TRX.
Weight and Conditioning Studio
We had a critical decision to make when adding our strength training facility…do we want to be an open gym or fitness studio? We chose the latter. Our weight and strength studio is a results-oriented, functional fitness facility. We want to get to know our clients and help them achieve their personal fitness goals not simply sign them up and send them on their way. Knowledgeable trainers are always around and eager to help answer your training questions and get you to the next level.
Hourahine's Martial Arts Training Area
…and of course the premium martial arts training space but www.martialartscentre.com has more on that!
Just What is TRX?
So many people have been asking “What exactly is TRX?” so here it is!
TRX – Total Resistence Exercise is Suspension Training that gives anyone, from beginners to athletes and fitness pros alike, a complete total-body workout and the cutting-edge training programs they need to take their performance to the next level.
Named the year’s “BEST TOTAL BODY TOOL” by Men’s Health, the TRX system builds core strength, improves balance and flexibility, increases endurance and adds power to your moves.
Best of all it is easy to pick up through progressive instruction. Check out the video of Andy, owner and trainer at Hourahine’s Martial Arts and Grand River Fitness, as he explains the basics.
