Brigitte’s Success Story!

Last year I started working with Brigitte – who has had amazing success at getting stronger, healthier, and incredibly fit ! She has trained consistently, adopted healthy eating habits, and as you can tell from the photos that it has paid off ! She has lost 32 pounds – and more importantly, has maintained it! I’m so proud of her, and couldn’t help but share her story and before and after photos!

Here’s what Brigitte has to say about her personal training experience:

When my mom signed us up for a trial bridal bootcamp training session with my sisters, I was dreading it, however I was pleasantly surprised by the friendly welcoming atmosphere at Epicentre and we signed up. I was even able to convince my fiancé, Glen, to join us.

I began at Epicentre with the idea that it wouldn’t hurt to start exercising more often. I was getting married and felt I may as well try to look better for the wedding. Otherwise, I didn’t have any expectations. While I had always been pretty active, it always occurred in spurts. I would join a gym for a year, lose weight, and slowly stop going to gym and slowly gain back my weight.

I never thought that I would ever say that I truly enjoy working out, but I do! Nor did I ever think that Glen and I would both become so passionate about the same activity. I’ve managed to lose 30 pounds through healthy eating and exercise. More amazingly, I have managed to maintain my weight loss and now my weight maintenance 7 months after getting married.

Meredith is incredibly motivating, caring and flexible. I could not have gotten to where I am today without her tireless knowledge and support.

Thank you Meredith!

Meredith is a Lolë Ambassador!

I am so excited to announce that I have been selected as an ambassador for Lolë !

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Lolë, it is a line of women’s active wear, started in 2002 right here in Montreal! The inspiration behind the brand was to create active wear for urban women that is versatile, functional, and comfortable. The philosophy is based on well-being, staying active, enjoying the beauty of your environment, all while feeling beautiful and feminine. The product lines include training, running and yoga wear, outdoor clothing, swimwear, practical fashion, and accessories. You’ll recognize the ateliers by their bright and happy yellow sign, and ‘green living wall’. Very cool!

Later this year I will be leading community meet ups for the Westmount Atelier! Stay tuned for more details on these, other meet ups and various Lolë community happenings and announcements throughout the year.

Visit the Lolë website and facebook page for more information! Better yet visit the Atelier and experience the brand yourself!

Your Personal Trainer Might Be Stopping You From Reaching Your Goals

Every so often I have to go on a rant.

I just started working with a new working with a new client – we”ll call her Karen. Female, late 30′s, underweight, low appetite, mutliple mobility and postural issues, past medical problems, and general lack of strength. We discussed her goals at length during a consultation. She wanted to get stronger, build some muscle, gain a bit of weight, and improve her posture. She also felt hopeless when it came to her relationship with food and lack of interest in eating. Karen also walked in with low self-esteem and poor body image like far too many women.

What the heck is Athletic Therapy?

Epicentre now offers in-house Athletic Therapy sessions, thanks to the latest addition to our team, Caitlin Dodd. But what exactly is athletic therapy anyway? We asked Caitlin to fill us in -

First, let’s talk about injuries. It’s normal to have some aches & pains when you live an active lifestyle (usually this lasts a few days, maybe even a week). It is not normal for pain to continue over a longer period of time. Chronic pains often have something to do with either structural components of our body (skeletal) or, the way we are moving our body in our training at the gym, or everyday lifestyle factors like sitting at your desk or carrying a heavy purse. Acute injuries are usually caused by some type of traumatic event – lifting a heavy weight incorrectly, rolling your ankle as you land from a jump, or twisting your knee. These types of injuries are followed by immediate pain and swelling, loss of mobility/range of motion, and sometimes bruising/discolouration. Both types of injuries require some therapy to get your back to your training and living a pain-free lifestyle. That’s where I come in – my goal is to get you back to training as quickly as possible!
