3 Group Fitness Attention Members Due to the increased membership base we see that classes are becoming more and more full daily. To try and avoid having to add sign up in advance for floor classes we have added a few earlier morning classes to offset the space. We have duplicated the 9am class to an earlier slot and ensured that a Yoga class follows as well. For those of you that can make earlier classes before 9am we encourage that you participate in the new time slots, so we can offer these great classes to as many people as possible.

4 Conor Forbes Personal Training Director Tell me a little bit about yourself? I was born in Hamilton, lived in Toronto as a child and moved to the county when I started public school. I completed high school in Picton then moved to Kingston for college. After college I spent a few years in Scarborough and moved back to the county in I like to think I m easy going, personable and a fun individual to be around. I always try to be optimistic as nothing will ever come from being negative which I think is a problem a lot of people let bring them down. The most important things in my life are my wife, my family, friends and keeping active with exercise. Traveling is also very important to me. I enjoy exploring different parts of Canada but in the last eight years I have also been fortunate to travel around Europe, The Caribbean as well as Central and South America. Traveling is something everybody should have in their life to learn about the world and themselves. When did you decide that the Fitness Industry was for you? I ve always been an active and athletic individual my whole life. I decided the fitness industry was for me when I realized early how many people came to me for advice with their own personal fitness goals. I was able to successfully help people achieve their goals with my own experiences and knowledge which lead me to pursue getting an education in fitness and health promotion. My favourite part of health and fitness is continuously challenging ourselves. Constantly learning more about our body s potential and implementing it into various fitness routines is something that is always changing with science, so it never gets boring. I think any true fitness professional can agree that there is always more to learn. My personal typical weekly fitness routine consists of five active days and two rest days targeting different components of the body with each workout session. Making sure your workouts have variety and specificity to them is key to ensure you get the best results while avoiding adaptation. What is your favourite thing about working with people? My favourite component of working with people is being the missing piece of the puzzle that gets them to not only complete their workouts, but also motivate and educate them on how to achieve their fitness goals efficiently and safely. Seeing my clients overcome their personal challenges and achieve their goals because of the service I have given them is the best part of my job. Do you believe in Cheat Days? Anyone that knows my personal fitness style and beliefs knows I am a big believer in living a life of moderation. If you are working hard enough most of the time, then you can afford to award yourself with cheat days periodically. What s the point of working so hard if you can t reward yourself with the things you enjoy? I may be known for my constant prep meals of Tupperware chicken, broccoli, and sweet potatoes...but believe it or not I can also be found with a pound of wings and a beer sometimes. I d have to say my favourite cheat meal would be a popular one, pizza! When you were a kid you were on the Dolphins Swim Team, tell me what was your favourite part of that experience? My favourite Dolphins experience would have to be getting first place in my first race at my first ever swim meet swimming breast stroke. Do you have any Fitness Goals? My current fitness goals are to improve all aspects of my training including my strength, muscular endurance, aerobic capacity, mobility and flexibility. These are all things I have gained lots of progress over the years but that is what keeps me achieving my goals, never being satisfied with your current state. There is always room to improve which I try to do every day. Tell me one thing you think the Members don t know about you? One thing that members don t know about me is that one of my favourite hobbies is playing music. I mostly enjoy playing guitar but also enjoy playing bass, drums and mandolin. I used to play in a band that played shows at various venues around central Ontario and made a couple of albums years ago. I still enjoy playing on my own and with a few various friends when we get the opportunity. I think exercise and music are two things everyone should have in their lives.
