Since I started my blog, I have met so many amazing people. Being part of this special and amazing group of women at Fitwells For Women in Maple Ridge and Coquitlam has been so much fun!
I found out about the Fitwells Bloggers Outreach from Salma Danini Dewji of thewritebalance.ca. We are both members of YVR Bloggers, a community of bloggers in the Vancouver area. I thank her for this great opportunity.
Fitwells is a "Community within a Community" and has become a staple in many communities. In the heart of downtown Maple Ridge, Fitwells has become THE place for health, fitness, and nutrition. Here you will find it all--from Group Fitness classes, world class equipment, personal training, boot camps, nutrition, childminding, tanning studios and massage.
If you know what you are looking for in your fitness goals, you can get started right away with a Fitness Assessment, so that you have a starting point to set goals. If you are unsure as to what to expect, you can start with sampling the services with the 3 Day Trial membership.
The Body Composition Analysis Report is a helpful tool for you to look at for goal setting. My report was very informative because it told me that my muscle mass was awesome and that it is the reason why I got a high score for overall health. My goal is to decrease my body fat composition so I can finally be at my optimum weight.
As a stay at home mom of years ago, I always heard about fitness facilities and how some people feel they have to wait until they are in shape before they would feel comfortable about joining, for fear of being judged. That does not make sense to me. Fitwell's has a friendly and supportive staff that keep you accountable and motivated. It is a great place to connect with women who are experiencing the same challenges. It is also a place where you can come and just let some steam off. There is something for everybody. For a fitness program to be effective, the activity needs to something that you can see yourself doing regularly and it needs to become a part of your day. For example, because Fitwells is located centrally in Maple Ridge, it is easy to get to as you are coming home from work, after you drop the kids off to school, or you are going grocery shopping.

I LOVE the Group Fitness Classes!!!!! Love the music, movement and motivation I get from the members and the instructor. I even went to the 6:05 classes, when I was not able to attend the other classes because of my appointments during the day. It's a great way to start your day. There are also class times at noon, if you prefer to come at your lunch hour from work or just before you have to pick up the kids from school. Of course, on the days that I have many appointments with our Shiatsu Practice, I can choose to come in the evening. My favourite classes are as follows, Group RX, Step and Sculpt, Zumba, and yoga. There are plenty of other classes to choose from. If you prefer a bootcamp style, XLab or spinning that is available as well.
