Evenings are quieter right now, which means more space, more support, and a chance to ease into a routine that actually fits your schedule.

Let this be your soft start. You don’t have to wait for September.

We believe in meeting people where they are, moving our bodies because we can, and celebrating progress in all its forms. Our classes are led by coaches who care, who have their own fitness experiences, and who genuinely want to see you succeed- not just in fitness, but in life.

We welcome all kind humans. Most of our members are specifically women over 40, but anyone with a good heart and an open mind will feel at home here. With a variety of classes and built-in modifications, there’s space for you to move at your own pace, with support and a challenge for your unique movements.. every step of the way.

If you’re looking for a place where kindness leads, you can wear whatever is comfortable (even if it's messy), and community lifts-you’ve found it. Visit our website to see if we're a good fit, and ways to visit us: http://www.thetransformationstation.ca

Banded Side Walks (also called lateral band walks or monster walks) are a great activation and strengthening exercise.

🔥 Top Benefits of Banded Side Walks

•Glute Activation (especially Glute Medius)
They target the outer glutes, which are often underused and weak, especially in people who sit a lot.
•Hip Stability & Strength
Strengthens the muscles that stabilize your hips, helping with balance, coordination, and overall lower body strength.
•Knee Injury Prevention
Strong glutes and hips reduce the risk of knee valgus (knees caving in), which can prevent ACL and other knee injuries.
•Improved Posture & Movement Mechanics
Helps correct imbalances in gait and posture caused by weak hips or glutes.
•Better Performance in Lifts
Stronger glutes = better squats, deadlifts, and lunges. You’ll also notice more control in athletic movements like running and jumping.
•Great Warm-Up or Burnout
Perfect for waking up the glutes before a heavy lower-body day or finishing with a burnout to build endurance in the stabilizers.
•Low-Impact, Joint-Friendly
Easy on the joints while still effective, making it great for all fitness levels, including rehab.

There’s a variety of ways to do different movements that work with your unique body and goals.. This is our banded side walks using a looped resistance band around the feet instead of a band around the thighs (we have both here but this is just a different way of doing it).

It was already warm when I walked into the gym this morning.
The sun was blazing, the air was thick.. and the members?
They still showed up.

Hair tied up, towels in hand, water bottles full.
Not because it was comfortable.
But because they made a promise to themselves and they’re keeping it.

We’ve trained through snowstorms, dark mornings, and now the heat... because progress doesn’t wait for perfect conditions.

Maybe you slow it down.
Maybe you take more breaks.
But you still show up and give what you have.. and that’s what matters most 💚

Have you tried these before? Battle ropes hit your grip, shoulders, core, legs, and lungs.. all in one go.

At the end of this morning's PowerBurn, I swapped out skipping for battle ropes at the end to make things a little extra spicy 🌶️ It was the perfect finisher to leave it all on the floor.

Sometime's you'll see them pop up during “member’s choice” rounds too. They’re a go-to for when you want intensity without jumping or complicated movements.

Why we love battle ropes:
🔥 Full-body strength + cardio
🧠 Mental focus + grit
💪 Improved grip + shoulder stability
💓 Boosts endurance + heart rate
🌀 Core stays engaged the whole time
✅ Scales to any level

Simple. Effective. (Plus a little goes a long way 😆)
