| We are in week 6 of the Covid-19 pandemic. Are any of you starting to feel like a victim yet? Are you feeling powerless? Unsure? Anxious? Apathetic? If that’s you, I have two tips for you today. Tip #1: Get good at controlling your controllables. What in your life is in your control? Spend your precious energy on those things, not on things that are out of your control. You will go crazy otherwise! Tip #2: Do things, that are within your control, that make you feel BETTER. One of the things I love to do when I am feeling anxious or powerless is to adopt what are called POWER POSES. Wonder woman knows exactly what I am talking about.  So does Oprah…  And so does Team Hoyt…  When people feel powerful, they adopt positions of power. The common feature of positions of power? They cause you to appear bigger and to take up more space. Your hands go up in the air, your chest puffs up, your chin lifts… The coolest thing about power poses is that when you adopt them, science has shown that your power hormone, testosterone goes up and your stress hormone, cortisol, goes down. In other words, you are able to take control of a situation and you don’t get stressed out doing it. Nice. The other cool thing is you don’t have to be Superwoman, or Oprah or have just finished an Ironman in order to get the benefit of these power poses. Studies have shown that if you adopt these positions, irregardless of your age or gender or current emotional state, you too can reap the rewards. So the next time you feel powerless, disengaged, anxious or apathetic try adopting a position of power and hold it for 2 minutes. You too will become more powerful and less stressed and you will have the smile to prove it! |

I have always been a bit nervous about... working out and so for 67 years avoided gyms altogether. That is until I realized I needed to move before I couldn't any more. As soon as I entered this studio I knew I had found the perfect place for me. I was immediately greeted by all the staff and the members and made to feel SO comfortable. This place is the real deal. I am now in the best shape of my life and would never go back to couch potato status again!read more

I’ve been wanting to review Roseland ... Health & Fitness for quite a while. Unfortunately I let procrastination stop me. Today when I read Christine’s newsletter I decided to take action!This gym has been an amazing place for me. I suffer from psoriatic arthritis and I am on a Biological Medicine to treat this. The trainers at Roseland Health and Fitness have kept me mobile especially over the last 21 months of Covid. Without their dedicated help my mobility would’ve been greatly reduced and my pain would’ve been increased. Christine, Claire and Anna have all helped me with their own professional expertiseI now can play tennis on a regular basis as long as I continue to go to the gym and practice the mobility exercises. I have never been hurt working out with these fantastic women!When I fractured my right arm after a fall shortly after retiring these ladies got me back and listened patiently to my complaints with a smile.Despite their own challenges with Covid on their gym they continue to give to the community in numerous ways. More recently they provided over 40 presents to a retirement home and seniors who may otherwise have been forgotten.They have also helped me with my fundraising activities for the labour and delivery ward at Joseph Brant Hospital . There are other numerous community events that they sponsor.The trainers lead with their heart and make each and every member feel special.I am so very grateful to these professionals and to this organization.Dr. Jane E McDonaldread more

I’ve been going to Roseland Health and... Fitness for almost a year now, I have loved my experience with all of the staff here and have had a chance to work with everyone. Claire, Anna, Christine, and Joe are all very lovely people and always make me feel welcome and happy to be in the studio. They also accommodate really well to people who would prefer to workout from home.I was assigned to work with Joe for my training, and I could not recommend him enough for anyone who’s looking to become much stronger and healthier.Joe has pushed me to do better with realistic goals in mind and has been the leading force of the countless achievements I’ve made since I started working with him. He also makes sure I’m comfortable while doing an exercise and will accommodate to any of my concerns with no hesitations.Overall I would absolutely recommend anyone looking to become a healthier and stronger person to give Roseland Health and Fitness a try! I always know I’ll be given the best and welcoming experience the moment I walk through the door. :-)read more

In the intensity of lockdown, I made a... change: a commitment to my health, a resolve to get in shape. I called Roseland fitness. I started virtually during high lockdown, but since reopening I’ve come in to the gym for the quality training offered in person. It’s clean, and carefully organized for our new abnormal. At least Christine and Claire put the abs in abnormal.Sarah Brodieread more

I can't say enough about this fitness... studio. I was first introduced to it when my massage therapist Derek told me he was moving and said if I was interested in following him to his new location, to look him up. So I did and when walking through the studio to get to my massage, I couldn't help but check out what was available to help me improve my fitness level.And voila, I was assigned to Susan Stuart and the rest is history. I've been now going to this studio for well over a year, and what I love the absolute most is that it's a great fitness place without the cold and impersonal feel of a large gym or fitness facility. Plus you can bet there is no one flexing his muscles in the mirror and taking selfies!I can't say enough about Claire and Christine, the owners. 2 very special people who are so very passionate about their work, their services and their studio.This place is Fun, Friendly and Fitness all combined into one.read more

Like many people, I have a few health... challenges that I've been dealing with over the years. I have been to many different places, some silver and some even gold. I would rate Roseland Health & Fitness as Platinum, actually beyond Platinum! From the moment I walked through the doors I was welcomed by such a wonderful, warm and positive atmosphere. The camaraderie among everyone that works there and all of the clients is exceptional. The coaches are able to help you get stronger without causing injury or making you hurt more. They are simply amazing!read more

I would highly recommend Roseland Health... & Fitness. I've taken advantage of both the health and fitness side of the facility. I have worked with Anna and Claire. Both are passionate and knowledgeable at what they do and continue to help me achieve personal goals. I've also dealt with Lana, the RMT, to help deal with nagging injures and general soreness. The 3 of them, along with Christine, are always very friendly and personable. Awesome environment!read more
