Testimonials

  • "This program has been so great for me through the summer."

    “ I can squeeze it in where it works but it’s also structured enough that I don’t have to make decisions about what to do every day.

    Thanks for the amazing workouts, this is the first time I’ve worked out consistently without doing some insane program that ended up in injury. I love it!”

    Adrianne

  • “I was feeling overwhelmed with all of the things I had to fit into my exercise routine: Core strength, strength training, cardio, stretching, physio, pelvic floor exercises…. I see now that a well-designed fitness program can cover all of these. For me, I realized that instead of trying to fit another thing in, I could replace my current routine with a more effective one.”

    Tara

  • "I won’t do a workout if I have to come up with “what to do” so having the program has been key!"

    “The program has definitely improved my stability and core strength. I feel stronger on the ice playing hockey and strong in my day to day mom life!”

    Colleen

  • "The workouts are hard enough to push and challenge you, but there is no shame, judgment or competition."

    “It’s like the opposite of Jillian Michaels, but you still get really strong.”

Kaye Burrows (she/her)

Core and Pelvic Floor Fitness expert and Runner

  • BPE, BEd Science Minor, MuTu Pro, PN-L1, PPA.

    As a mom of three, I know first hand how it feels to be living in a body that I don’t recognize.

    I also live a busy and full life and I don’t have time to waste when it comes to my workouts. When I carve out time and energy to move my body, I want to trust that the exercises are building the strength and endurance I need to keep up with my busy life.

    When my body feels good, everything feels better. I am more confident in my relationships at home and at work. I can be the patient mom my kids need. And I don’t hesitate to join friends on a mountain adventure.

    You will find me running up and down mountains as often as possible during the summer and cross country skiing all winter. That is when I am not chasing my 3 kids around!

 

Michelle Friesen (she/her)

Pelvic Health & Orthopedic and Physiotherapist and Runner

  • Physiotherapist with specialization in pelvic health, orthopedic and running analysis.

    As a mom of three, I have navigated return to running and sports through post-partum body changes and more recently perimonopause. As the demands of life change; keeping up with work, family, nurtition, rest and training plans has been a challenge.

    Throughout my career I have pursued further education in Pelvic Health assessment and treatment, Running analysis as well many years invested in Manual treatment of Orthopedic problems. I have had the opportunity to work alongside Kaye and many others to find balance in the pursuit of staying active. You know the saying, 'it takes a village', well that analogy doesn't change in our adult life.

    I want this support and education for all women. You have a lot on your plate and you care for so many other people. You deserve some of that time and care for you too.

    While I have run some incredible races over the years, my primary focus these days is getting out for fresh air, taking care of my physical and mental health and keeping up with my three busy boys while hopefully demonstrating to them the dedication and passion for life long activity.

"Life changing things are happening thanks to you both and your magical programs🥰”

“Running any distance feels so good. I am so encouraged right now.”
