StrongHearts Fitness: School of Movement

Near the end of 2019, I decided to add some variety to my fitness routine and was curious about CrossFit, having never really tried it before and not knowing very much about it. Before long, coming to StrongHearts after work to exercise in a fun, encouraging environment became the highlight of my day, and I can’t say enough great things about all of the coaches, the quality of instruction, and sense of community. My overall fitness has improved significantly since I started, and with all of the workouts being scaled to your own fitness level, knowledgeable coaches, and supportive, inclusive members, there’s something for everyone here whether you’re looking to start your fitness journey, add to your existing routine, or just try something new.

This is a fantastic gym. My body hurt from a couple months of travelling and irregular exercise, and the folks at StrongHearts Fitness sorted me out. I felt welcomed from day one, and was very impressed by their knowledge and eye for good form. I had a month membership and was able to drop in on a mix of classes, depending on what worked best for my day. Would (and have) recommended this place for anyone who is looking for a good workout alongside good people. Many thanks to Adam and his team!

I went to a different gym 6 weeks postpartum for about 6 months, doing a cardio class 4 days/week. When i switched to Stronghearts, 2 weeks in i was already more fit than I was from the previous 6 months at the other gym! The coaches here are very professional and honestly... its fun! This is the best place to work out in town!

I've been at Stronghearts for 9 months now and it's the highlight of my week. Having never joined a gym before, my only regret is not finding this type of fitness sooner. I do a mixture of CrossFit and Conditioning classes and I'm amazed at the progress so far. It's not just physical either. I feel stronger mentally and emotionally; with each new skill learned or goal achieved, comes a major boost in confidence. My favourite classes are the Ladies Only ones; they're a really fun hour full of laughter, encouragement, and genuinely helping each other to be our best selves. As a stay at home mum to 3 young kids, I look forward to the social aspect at the gym, just as much as the daily workouts. My daughter also looks forward to her hour of playtime in the kids' area. No two classes are exactly alike and that keeps it exciting and challenging. Combined with the awesome coaches who are so knowledgeable, so strong, and so supportive, Stronghearts is a pretty special place. The addiction is real!

Strong Hearts Fitness has truly been a blessing in my life. I recently moved back to the Valley from Labrador and was in some serious need of some fitness. I am a Missionary who works with single mothers, widows and their children in Eastern Africa. To address shortfalls in funding for Literacy training for my mission I chose to climb Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds and awareness to the organization I am affiliated with and for literacy training for my women in Uganda. With only 3 months to prepare for the climb I met with Adam Morden of strong Hearts and he matched me with the perfect trainer. A physical training program was thoughtfully created for me, one that honoured my body and my mission by avoiding injury while building the strength and stamina required to successfully summit Mount Kilimanjaro. My summit of the mountain was indeed successful and I reached my fundraising goals. I am so grateful that I chose Strong Hearts for my training needs. The professionalism and dedication of the staff at Strong Heart Fitness is second to none. I have found community there and I have found personal success there many times over.
