Happiness

This past week, Lorea and I went to see a massage therapist who recently launched her own business. I have only ever been to one other massage therapist and was decently pleased. This woman, Laurie, was amazing. She immediately identified that my spine curves to the left, something I was unaware of, and she was […]

How Far We Have Come

On Saturday April 13th, we had a Rep1 team meeting. The purpose was to bring everyone together and to discuss Rep1’s Vision and Core Values. Prepping for, and speaking about our vision took me back to 2008-09 when Scott, Chad, and I were having a lot of secret meetings to discuss what we wanted in […]

Who Ate What?

Recently, the Rep1 staff were treated, by the owners, to dinner at Colony Pub. As is only human, some of the staff let loose and indulged in some foods they would usually avoid. Can you guess who ate/ordered what? #1- Two owners and one trainer ordered burgers and onion rings/fries for their main course #2- […]

Workout Music

Do you need motivation to get yourself to the gym or to continue your workout when fatigue starts to set in? A new study was recently released describing the best motivational music and it all has to do with the number of beats per minute in the song! Apparently a song with 125-140 beats per […]

Iona

It was ugly out there.  My HR was 164+, my watts were 321 and my speed was 41.9km/hr.  This would all be ok if I didn’t have a tailwind!  I need to work harder in spin class!  The flats at Iona can be tough if you’re not used to them.

Riding

So, went riding with Chad Friday.   Had a great time but realized that after 6 months of no mountain biking the legs didn’t feel to bad going up hill, funny, I guess the training and spinning does work! The test run was successful and my shoulder felt great, I’m ready for something more serious. […]

Riding

So, went riding with Scott on Friday.  Had a good time but realized that after a punishing spin class in the morning all I should do is an easy spin and stretch.  It was a great Vancouver day but the intervals of the class that morning left nothing in the legs.  I also realized I […]

The following foods tend to negatively affect your quality of sleep, and we all know maximizing one’s amount of sleep before the next day’s workout is crucial!   #1 Milk- Milk is a healthy source of calcium and protein but its […]

Expansion!

I know it’s a long way off but did our first walk through of the expansion space next door and I’m pumped!!  The ideas are starting to flow!  Everyone has been saying “what are you going to do?, what is it going to look like”… all we can say to that is “wait and see!”. […]

Why Should I Try A Spinning Class?

When considering participating in a spin class, almost everyone’s initial thought is: “I am not fit enough to last a full hour in a hardcore spin class.” To this statement, we say: “Everyone had to start somewhere!” Spin classes are designed to be entertaining and all-inclusive. All participants are in charge of their hour, and […]
