We have to be able to adapt to the situations that are in front of us. Small in-person classes, more virtual classes, masks at all times indoors…that’s where we’re at today.

The Holiday Class Schedule is now live! Book a few classes to stay moving, but also take some time to enjoy some down time this holiday season.

A new home for KSA Fitness — right in the Junction, Toronto!

Persistent knee or low back pain? Your physiotherapist is likely to first take a look at how well your glute med is functioning. So is your personal trainer :)

I’m one of those extroverted introverts. I operate pretty well in social settings but I crave alone time. When I need to recharge, my go-to is a quiet afternoon with a good book.

I've never promoted a "30 days to lose belly fat" or "12 week body transformation" type of challenge. I don't prescribe meal plans or talk about so-called 'bad foods'.

Every time we 'put ourselves out there', take a chance, try something new we are always taking a risk. But that doesn't stop us from trying anyway.

Do you ever feel as though you need to hit the pause button on your life - even just for a day? Do you give yourself permission to have a rest day?

I keep thinking about the different ways I can step up to the plate and show my kids how to break barriers and push past stereotypical assumptions about women and people of colour.

My body understands that I thrive on being active, adventurous and have a general curiosity for the world and all its possibilities. I understand that my body needs rest, good food, plenty of hydration and sometimes the care of acupuncturists, physiotherapy and massage.

I’ve been thinking a lot this weekend about discomfort. About how sometimes we need to just sit in discomfort and let it surround us. To let ourselves consider why we are so uncomfortable and what action we can take to minimize or change it.

The big rocks are the most important factors. Taking care of them first makes all the difference. When you think about your goals and what you want to accomplish, first identify your 'big rocks' - the things that are the real change makers in your life. You'll get to the small rocks but only after you've figured out how to make those larger, foundation building changes.

When we become aware of how much we take for granted can we use that as a launching pad to explore more movement? Can we shift from thinking something is "too hard" and instead embrace the challenge to explore more?

I have an expression that I share with all of my clients and group classes - Rock Your Range. To me that means focusing on working with a range of motion that is accessible and achievable for you and your body, today. Fitness, or exercise, is not about competition - it's just about moving your body. And the more you move your body the more your body actually CAN move.

Outside of exercise form and workout composition, the number one question I receive from clients is how to make time for their workouts. Between family, work, friends, and other social commitments people seriously struggle with finding time for their workouts. I'm not really any different.

I'm allergic to fish. Yes, all fish including shellfish. I've been allergic to most fish since my first major reaction when I was 5 years old. I ate shellfish for years and then my first pregnancy put a stop to that. I started to notice minor, increasingly alarming reactions to shellfish when my first kid was about 3 weeks old.

So there's this old "joke" that GOLF is an acronym for Gentleman Only, Ladies Forbidden. I've been golfing since I was 9 years old - long before Tiger Woods made the sports world confront racism within golf.

She said "I've always said that my abs are weak and that I can't do a certain exercise because I am weak. But I just decided to tell myself that I am strong and that there is strength there. And then I did it". Mic drop. She told herself she was strong and then she did it. And kept doing it.
