There’s lots happening at Welly Academy this November, and we’re excited to keep moving with you!


Looking Back on October

We wrapped up our first fall six-week program, enjoyed our Fun Week with songs from movies, and offered free classes throughout the month to welcome new faces into the Welly community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, tried something new and kept showing up for yourselves. We love having you as part of Welly!



November: Train for Your Life


This month, we’re focusing on something we all have in common: the things we do in everyday life!


Your workout is only one part of your daily movement. Think about all the things you do outside our workouts, walking around the house, gardening, vacuuming, carrying groceries, putting away laundry and taking out the trash.


These everyday activities use energy, too, and contribute to our overall health and fitness. It’s one more reason to keep moving throughout the day rather than thinking our workout is the only movement that counts.


We don’t just exercise to get better at exercise. We train for the life we want to live!


Our Train for Your Life program connects the exercises we do in class to the movements we use at home, at work and out in the world.

Think about it:

  •  Picking up a laundry basket? Let’s practise our deadlift.

  •  Carrying groceries? Let’s work on strength, grip and posture.

  •  Brushing our teeth? Let’s challenge our balance.

  •  Vacuuming and reaching around the house? Let’s build strength, mobility and stability.

  •  Taking out the trash? Let’s practise lifting and carrying safely.

  •  Working in the yard? Let’s build the strength and stamina to keep doing the things we enjoy.


Each week, we’ll explore different movements and show you how your workouts can help everyday activities feel easier and more comfortable.

And the best part? You can join Train for Your Life anytime in November. You don’t need to start at the beginning of the month. Jump in when it works for you

Let’s Keep Moving!

Whether you’re joining us in person, online, trying Train for Your Life or taking part in the Streak Challenge, there’s a place for you at Welly.

Remember, movement doesn’t have to happen only during a scheduled workout. Every walk, garden task, trip up the stairs and laundry basket you lift is another opportunity to move your body.

We’re here for real people, real movement and training that supports the life you want to live.


Come as you are, move at your own level, and let’s keep getting stronger together!

See you in class!
