Overview

It is our mission to provide “fitness for life” in an environment beneficial to positive relationships, promoting self-confidence and self-discipline through self-respect. To help those who cannot afford membership so they to can benefit from our curriculum.
Many of our youth and adults do not get enough regular exercise, it is our intention to offer something different than a regular gym membership by offering structured programming that is challenging and fun.  We want to address the large number of Aboriginal youth being brought into gang activity or dropping out of school, we will offer 1$ from every membership to help Aboriginal youth the opportunity to programs.

- 100 regular memberships
- 100 specialty memberships i.e. Boot Camp, Personal Training, Sring/Summer Camp and Hearts and Minds Program
- National recogintion through already successful TV Program Fit First on APTN
  

Community Benefit

It is our intention to employ 7 trainers for our Programs. Our programs will benefit the community by focussing on the mind, body and spirit while maintaining a realistic approach to self defense suited for all ages and levels. It is our mission to provide “fitness for life” in an environment beneficial to positive relationships, promoting self-confidence and self-discipline through self-respect. Our hearts and minds program practices will follow a progressive curriculum that includes practical lesson plans for anti-bullying strategies and the prevalent dangers of Internet chat rooms and strangers. The curriculum is established to be easily applied to real life situations. Our focus is to instill confidence, self-esteem and leadership qualities. All of these programs will help our youth walk away from potential bad situation involving crime of peer pressures of drugs and alcohol. Will help our youth set goals for life and encourage staying in school.
