FITNESS CENTRE

With health and wellness high on the priority list and new norms being set all the time, low impact exercise training is a proven formula for huge range of user groups; add circuit to the mix and you have a well-balanced multi-muscle group workout! HummingBird Fitness Centre has just exploded on the fitness scene in Campbell River with exactly that mantra and attitude. Boasting that HB Fit’s mentality is to be a better you, using positive re-enforcement and group training, the mix to this renewed format is fresh and easy for women and men alike.

“We’re loving the equipment and the environment at Hummingbird Fitness” notes Tanya Cegnar, a HB Fit team member and Rink Minx Roller Derby member. “Two things that we are all loving … it’s only 30 minutes for your workout – whether you do two or three circuits plus your post stretch, you are done in thirty! Secondly, you don’t have to think about what equipment to choose in relation to what muscle group to work out. That makes it so easy and quick; you get what you put in with the resistance machines”.

The equipment at HummingBird Fitness Centre is resistance-based and most of the machines are double-positives. What does that mean? With every arm, leg, body movement forward and backwards, up and down, motions are carrying weight through the resistance format. Double positive gives your muscle group a workout in both directions. The rotation from each machine is 30 seconds with 30 seconds of board work – jumping, running on the spot, dancing, jacks – to keep your heart rate up. It’s a quick and easy format that is basically done under 30 minutes.

HummingBird is encouraging POD workouts which translates to group workouts in lower numbers to minimize the risk of transmitting COVID-19 within the environment. PODS can be social groups, families, youth, elders, friends, sports teams, co-workers and more. A typical POD is 7 participants and a team member associated with the facility; with PODS that are family or work in closer environments, up to 12 can be accommodated. There are First Nation groups for Elders and Youth, Ladies Groups, Co-ed (Husband/ Wife) and Men’s group staring in the fall. Group discounts apply with a POD of 12, booking 3 to 5 time slots per week. Independent membership is also encouraged as HB Fit will find a POD for you!

and hips, wanting to improve posture and strength your back and neck or needing a break from cardio, low impact circuit training is perfect for your needs! Membership rates are very reasonable and allow for multiple workouts during the week, with booked times to keep you on track with your fitness regime and minimize exposure to COVID. The fitness centre is cleaning equipment, floors and changing rooms in between PODS to ensure proper sanitization protocols are protecting their members; masks are optional, at this time. Hummingbird Fitness Centre is Indigenous-owned and independently operated.

Compass Magazine’s Publisher, Kealy Donaldson, is taking HB Fit’s 12 Week Challenge which has already started to transform her in Week 3. Donaldson is working out five times a week, using a three circuit format with full stretch post – taking only 30 minutes a session.
