Fit Bodies. Fit Minds., a wellness center in Sault Ste. Marie has a selection of personalized coaching programs. These programs, available in private, semi-private and small group formats, highlight a harmonious blend of mental well-being, nutrition and physical fitness. Every program is uniquely tailored, encompassing corrective exercise, myofascial stretching, weight training, nutrition counselling and cognitive tools.
Kyla Faganely, the owner of Fit Bodies. Fit Minds., has been in the wellness industry for 25 years and takes great pride in the variety and depth of offerings at her center.
"Private training is one of our most popular and valuable services," Faganely said. "But we also do small groups, and what's really unique is that we give them nutritional guidance, they get a manual, they get a bit of homework. Small group programs combine a supportive group environment with the feel of personal training to deliver an engaging and curated experience to a group of friends, coworkers or teammates."
The center offers a broad range of classes, including pilates, yoga, strength-based classes, classes for seniors, corrective and mobility classes, athletic classes, pre and post-natal services, and holistic nutrition.
Faganely's philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief that wellness is not a luxury but a necessity.
"There's nothing more important than it," she stressed. "We work with clients of all levels, from elite athletes to people living with chronic illnesses and everyone in between. I've realized more and more that this is literally changing lives."
Specialized group programs
Small group programs can be customized to the needs and interests of participants. Small groups will be matched with a trainer that is certified in the modalities they are interested in.
Looking for some inspiration? Consider one of the following small group styles:
One of the notable offerings is surrender yoga, a therapeutic integration of restorative yoga with energy work. This program delves into themes such as gratitude and myofascial release, effectively battling burnout and stress by promoting a serene mind-body connection.
Iron strength is another unique addition which concentrates on muscle lengthening, correct alignment and lifting postures. This strength training class suits individuals seeking to optimize their lifting capabilities and hone bodyweight exercises.
The center also introduces an inclusive pilates reformer class focusing on core stabilization, balance and alignment while incorporating strength training. Their traditional pilates and yoga classes cater to all fitness levels, emphasizing core training and synchronizing breath with movement.
Expectant mothers are not left behind; the fit bellies program is an eight-week holistic regimen incorporating yoga, mental health support, fitness and nutrition, with special attention to the pelvic floor and core muscles. The strong mom's program, aimed at postnatal mothers, emphasizes recuperation and strength rebuilding in areas affected by childbirth.
