We get asked this question a lot in relation to aerial yoga: Is the hammock strong enough to hold me❓

The answer is yes✅

Our hammocks are certified to hold up to 1,000 pounds and secured to the ceiling using an advanced suspension system designed specifically for aerial yoga.

If you're curious about aerial yoga, come try it for yourself. Hammocks are available for Stefanie's class on Friday, February 13.

No aerial yoga -- or even yoga -- experience is required for this workshop. All levels are welcome, and Stefanie will offer modifications to support your individual needs.

Rick Boisvert leads his Hips & Glutes workshop on Monday, February 16 (Family Day) at 11:00 a.m.

This 90-minute workshop focuses on improving the mobility, stability, and strength of hips and glutes.

Locomotion and athletic training can be greatly improved by enhancing these capacities, and risk of injury can be reduced.

After a warm-up, you’ll be introduced to soft-tissue techniques designed to help relieve tightness in the lower body that can contribute to pain and restricted movement. The session then progresses into mobility and activation work, followed by stability and strength exercises.

This session is suitable for all fitness levels for those without current injuries that severely restrict movement.

The cost of the workshop is $25. Members and clients of our Collaborative Care Centre receive a 10% discount.

Register at our front desk, by phone, through our mobile app, or online: https://clients.mindbodyonline.com/classic/ws?studioid=899787&stype=-109&sView=day&sLoc=0&sTrn=100000116&date=02/16/26

It is recommended that participants bring a notebook and pen to take notes for future use.

Join a team that values your work.

Registered massage therapists (RMTs) are an essential part of the integrative health care services at our Collaborative Care Centre. Too often, RMTs are expected to juggle client care with the demands of running a business.

Here, we do things differently.

We respect the vital role RMTs play in supporting health and healing, which is why we handle the administrative details—scheduling, billing, laundry, and room setup—so you can focus on your clients.

Join a collaborative, patient-focused environment where your work is valued, your schedule is supported, and your contribution truly matters.

You'll enjoy the benefits of:

✅ flexible shifts
✅ a beautiful, fully furnished treatment room
✅ a supportive, team-based atmosphere

If you’re an RMT who wants to be part of a team that treats you like the health professional you are, we’d love to hear from you.

🔥 We’re offering a signing bonus to the successful candidate! Learn more at https://www.heritagefitness.ca/careers/

Life happens, we get it 😕

If your plans change and you can’t attend a group fitness class you booked, please remember to cancel ahead of time (four hours is ideal). This gives us time to contact members on the waitlist so someone else can join us.

Your courtesy supports our instructors, staff, and your fellow members 🙂

We did it! 🎉

Thanks to the generosity of our community, we exceeded our 2025 fundraising goals:

✨ 1,213 lbs of food collected for the Lanark County Food Bank-The Hunger Stop (goal: 700 lbs)

✨ $5,202 raised for the Carleton Place & District Memorial Hospital Foundation (goal: $5,000)

These efforts directly impact neighbours, friends, and families in our region. This was truly a community effort, and we’re grateful for every contribution.
