JANUARY NEWSLETTER

Happy New Year 2022! ... and for us in Northern North America: Brrrr! It sure is cold here in Ontario Canada, although not the coldest. Alberta so far comes in as number one for freezing with temperatures of -55 degrees Celsius in 2022! I guess our Australian, Thai and southern skaters have nothing to complain about weather-wise! Although all this cold allows for some fun outdoor skating on rinks across Canada and the U.S., a welcome substitute especially for those skaters who have had indoor rinks closed due to Covid restrictions. Hang in there everyone, we will get through this together! We have online group classes and private training virtually awaiting you if you have yet to try our amazing program!

share your thoughts and experiences

I joined the Flexafit virtual class (Off-Ice jumps for Adults with Jessie) for the first time today and just wanted to drop you a quick note to say it was really awesome. Jessie was super nice with helping me catch up to the routines and gave me a lot of tips to work on. I should mention that this was my first time doing off-ice jumps after injuring my ankle the last time I did them (I'm all recovered now) and I was a bit nervous but this class really helped build up my confidence with them again. Best Regards, Vasudha

Keep up the amazing work FLEXAFIT'ers – it’ll all be worth it and you will never regret the hard work during tough times!
