SUMMER HOCKEY DRYLAND CAMP

20
years ago, hockey players golfed in the summertime.  They played
baseball.  They didn't train.  Those times are gone: if you're over age
12, you have to train hard to be ready for the season.  Build a solid
and broad athletic background, and you'll excel on the ice!  We've got
the best Trainers in Ontario with the science and grit to get you as
far as you want to go!

Our Bantam and Midget/Junior Summer Groups start June 28 – sign up here.

Summer Running Groups

New Catalyst Kids Groups!

The overwhelming growth of our extremely popular Kids and Teens programs
has prompted – uh, demanded – that we add another night, and another
group.  The new structure of the Teens groups will be a multi-level
approach:
Level
1: Kids learn basic bodyweight movements.  We focus on calisthenics,
running, jumping, throwing, pushing and pulling.  Very fun and
achievement-oriented.  For kids aged 11-16.
Level
2: Kids and Teens incorporate some basic gymnastics, weightlifting with
appropriate loads, sprinting, anaerobic capacity work, and more
individual challenges. 
We're
also adding a younger group on Thursday nights for 8-10-year-olds! 
Coach Whitney will finally get to realize her dream of coaching kids! 
Tuesday at 7pm- Level I Teens (11-16) – Register here
Wednesday at 7pm – Level 2 Teens (11-16) – Register here
Thursday at 7pm – Pre-Teens (8-10) – Register here
….we're
always telling folks to register early, but it's critical with the
kids' groups.  Last session, 32 kids tried for 20 spots!  Get in there!

Barbell Bettys and Fraternity Barbell: the Summer Program

specific goals.  You'll train, mostly on your own, toward a goal YOU
choose.  You'll compete at the end.  You'll earn prizes!

Baseline Week
CrossFit
uses 'yardstick' workouts to track progress. Instead of vague
correlates like body weight, BMI, or "inches," we measure
performance. Get faster at "Michael," and you know you're more fit than
last time; get stronger, and your CrossFit Total goes up.

June 4 – Midnight 5kThis ain't your normal run.  But cancer ain't your normal test, muchaho.  And we sure ain't your 'normal' gym.Arrive
at 11:30.  Get jacked up with the Family.  Run 5k.  Walk,
stumble…doesn't matter.  Then enjoy our live band and some quality
social time!  Sign up online here – the $20 entry fee is 100% donated
to our Relay For Life Team (see above.)  It's the best run you'll ever
do.
