#BE LIKE BRUCE

#COMMUNITY ABOVE ALL ELSE

It’s Saturday night and things are winding down at our house.  I am sitting here reflecting on our day.  To be honest, I have been waiting for someone to tell me that there was a crazy mistake and our dear friend is not actually fighting against stage 4 pancreatic cancer.  It has all seemed too strange…Why?  How is it possible?  He is so fit and strong!  I guess that’s one of the more frustrating things about cancer, we don’t know why it affects some people, nor do we have the control to make it all better. 

Our flash WOD for Bruce is this Saturday in Avalon Park. Come show your support and WOD with us at 10AM. All fitness levels are welcome. The WOD will require no equipment and will be done in teams. Looking forward to seeing everyone out for such an important event.

One of the most heart warming testimonials I've ever read. Take a minute and see what Elanne has to say about her time at 306.

It is my pleasure to welcome Laurie to our coaching staff!  Laurie has been with us since the first day we opened our doors.  She is not only a great athlete, she has a positive attitude an adventurous spirit.  She also might break out in a little dance if her 'jam' is on.  L.T (as she is known) will start by coaching Saturdays with Sam and then she will be taking some mornings as well.  Be sure to give her a 'high 5' and welcome when you see her:).  Welcome L.T!

If you tracking your food in MyFitnessPal, I have made some setting changes to my blog which allows you to enter the blog URL (website address) into the Recipe Database on your MyFitnessPal. This allows you to retrieve accurate Nutrition Facts per serving when you follow the exact recipe! You can still make alterations to the recipes to adjust the Nutrition Facts for any changes or add-ins to the recipe :)

The future is bright for our 306 Weightlifting Program! This past weekend Tori MacDonald and Jack Nash travelled to Montreal to compete in the Canadian Jr National Weightlifting Championships. Both our lifters trained hard through the holidays to prep for this meet. Their hard work and determination was rewarded as they both put up lifetime best lifts on the biggest stage of their early careers. We look forward to their continued development and success.

Here’s to another rotation around the sun – HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

It’s time for my annual post.  It’s always a good exercise to reflect on the past year, take the lessons we have learned and make 2017 even better than 2016.  2016 was filled with highs and lows.  Sometimes the lows hit you harder than you expect but the highs thankfully offset those.

And there it is…our 5th Gala in the books. This year, we tried something a little different. We went with a murder mystery and have everyone come in a character. It was so much fun to see everyone mix and mingle and put their own twist on their character. I was so impressed on the effort everyone put into the event. 

Ok everyone, the gala is fast approaching - tomorrow night! Here's what you need to know:

1. Cocktails are at 6:00PM
2. Dinner at 7:00PM
3. You should have your character, props, etc.
4. I will brief everyone on the full story and what to do once everyone has arrived. 
5. Everything is happening at the Saskatoon Club
6. The game will take between 2-3 hours to play
7. We will have a DJ for after dinner and the mystery has been solved...

In honour of Remembrance day, the gym will be offering the following reduced scheduled this weekend;

Friday - 10AM, Noon, 3pm

Saturday - 9am, 10am, 11am and Noon
