Adopt-a-Road
Sunday October 30th
The leaves are starting to turn, and there is a certain crisp-ness in the air. This means fall is coming. And with fall comes our bi-annual Adopt-a-Road cleanup. We will be meeting at our usual location (Credit View Public School) at 9am for an hour or two of cross-training (aka – picking up trash from the sides of the road).
Please mark your calendars and plan to attend. If we get lots of people to come out, the work is easier and we get to the fun post-clean-up coffee and treats at the Spirit Tree sooner.
Partner Programs
Yoga – Saturday Mornings
The trial FMCT yoga class was a lot of fun – so much that the class leader is willing to hold a session of ten 90-minute classes for us. Class themes will be customized based on participant requests and may include: opening the shoulders and hips, improving your balance, activating your relaxation, and more.
The dates would be: Oct 1, Oct 29, Nov 12, Nov 19, Nov 26, Dec 3, Dec 10, Dec 17, Jan 14, Jan 21
There is a minimum sign-up of 4 people for this class to be held.
We are getting a great deal with two options – you can sign up for a 10-class pass for just $145 or a 5-class pass for $85. And Michelle has even pulled together a few special exceptions like being able to carry forward a class to the next semester if you don’t make it to all the classes. To sign up or to find out more, please contact Michelle at mmoore@mindequity.ca
Spin Class – Wednesday Nights (Bolton)
Duathlete super-star Jade Carrington will be holding her mid-week spin class in nearby Bolton this year. The full course is 25 classes, and each class is a packed 90 minutes.
You can sign up for a full course pass at $125, a 10-pass for $70, a 1-month pass for $32-$40, or pay by drop-in for $10 per class. Please contact Jade at info@ironchicfitness.ca for more information or to reserve your spot.
Strength Class – Thursday Nights
In case one class with Jade is not enough – she is also holding a mid-week strength class. This course is 12 weeks (although she did add a second course last time to bridge us through to the start of the season).
You can sign up for a full course pass a $96, or pay by drop-in for $10 per class. Please contact Jade at info@ironchicfitness.ca for more information or to reserve your spot.
FMCT Programs
Spin Class – Wednesday (Brampton)
We have not had a lot of interest in having a local spin class. Please let us know by October 15th if you are interested in signing up for a spin class led by Matt P in Brampton. The full session would be 18 classes. We do need a minimum number of sign-ups to hold this class.
You can sign up for a full session pass at $150, or a 10-pass for $100. We are offering a special early-bird price of $120 for the full session if you sign-up by October 15th. (Non-member pricing will also be available.) Please send us an email at fmct.trainers@gmail.com for more information or to reserve your spot.
Pool Swim – Tuesday
The coached pool swim seemed quite popular last year – and we are hoping that people are interested in participating again this year. We are planning on having a minimum of 25 pool swims again this year – and it is looking like the calendars are aligning so that we might be able to squeeze in 27 swims.
You can sign up for a full session pass at $200, or a 10-pass for $90, or pay by drop-in for $10 per class. We are offering a special early-bird price of $180 for the full session if you sign-up by October 15th. (Non-member pricing will also be available.) Please send us an email at fmct.trainers@gmail.com for more information or to reserve your spot.
Strava!
We were juuuuuuust shy of hitting 2000 kms this past week. That is a lot of training and racing folks – especially in late September! Congratulations to everyone who is continuing to stay healthy and do their workouts.
Adios and Farewell
This is my last email update to the club. It is a bit of a bitter-sweet moment for me. Remembering to type up these updates each week can sometimes be a challenge (thank goodness for calendar alerts … even though those can fail when you close the reminder and don’t immediately start working on the email … whoops!) I will miss the level of interaction I had with the club and members over the past few years, but am super excited about the challenges that are coming next for me. Good luck to everyone – and keep up all of your great work.
