I’m so excited to share a few new great things with you:

Retrain Pain!
Many of us are dealing with some sort of chronic pain and as you probably already know, pain is a topic I am fascinated by.  I have come across this great website that breaks down what pain is in our bodies, what it means to feel pain, and how you can confront and change chronic pain. Broken into lessons, you can view these easily explained presentations piece-by-piece until you have a full understanding of what the most recent pain science research is telling us.  If you are suffering any sort of chronic pain or are just as interested as I am, please visit this website and enter an email address to take this completely free patient course: https://www.retrainpain.org/

It may change your life. And if not, it will certainly teach you something new!

Combining Health & Fitness to Save
My friends over at Peninsula CrossFit and I have gotten together to build a cross-promotion to make it even easier for you to stick with your health & fitness goals for 2017!  Get 10% off all Peninsula CrossFit memberships and/or personal training packages with proof of a massage therapy treatment at Aspect Health within 30 days prior to you signing on with them.  And then, get 10% off all Registered Massage Therapy treatments at Aspect Health with proof of having an active membership at their gym!  Maintain your discounted membership and schedule at least one discounted massage therapy treatment each month and you’ll continue to get 10% off your services at both establishments!  Redeem your discounts by simply providing a dated proof of purchase (an emailed receipt shown on your phone will do) at the time of your appointments or membership renewal!

A Little About CrossFit
“CrossFit is constantly varied functional movements performed at high intensity. All CrossFit workouts are based on functional movements, and these movements reflect the best aspects of gymnastics, weightlifting, running, rowing and more. These are the core movements of life. They move the largest loads the longest distances, so they are ideal for maximizing the amount of work done in the shortest time. Intensity is essential for results and is measurable as work divided by time—or power.”

“Overall, the aim of CrossFit is to forge a broad, general and inclusive fitness supported by measurable, observable and repeatable results. The program prepares trainees for any physical contingency—not only for the unknown but for the unknowable, too. Our specialty is not specializing.”

About Peninsula CrossFit
Located in a 3,200 square foot warehouse in the West Sidney Business Park, Peninsula CrossFit is state-of-the-art, but not in the way of your typical big-box gyms. We don’t have ellipticals or weight machines. We use your body and real weights to create free, natural movement that mimics the functional movements of everyday life.  All of our coaches are Crossfit Level 1 Trainers who are passionate about Crossfit, health and fitness. They have been Crossfitters for many years so they want to help you work towards your goals, address your frustrations, aid in overcoming your obstacles, and support and assist you in any way they can. They are there to teach you the fundamentals of Crossfit and guide you through the workouts in a safe and comfortable environment.

I hope this email brings you as much enthusiasm and excitement as sending it has brought me!   As always, I’m wishing you the best of this season. I look forward to seeing you next!
