phattraining — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 00:05:21 +0000

We are designing some real ass kicking shirts for the new year. If you have a goal. Tell it to us o this Blog, let us know your t-shirt size and if you want a black or white shirt. One of our PHAT coaches will contact you and get your money for the pre-order… lets turn these resolutions into solutions. When people ask, “what are you going to do in 2012?” You will be forced to speak your goal out loud and have people supporting you while you DO IT!

If the Rapture doesn’t come… “Femme Fitness” Will still run!!!

It is that time of the year again! Our group fitness is heading outdoors. I want to be clear that these classes are not for ladies only (except, Jesse’s Ladies only camp…lol.. he will be the only guy… poor fellow) so men and women dont miss out on your chance to have a kick ass time in the sun and occasional rain this year. Here is a small breakdown of what we will be offering.

Stacey Hogbin – She is running her ever popular class on Tuesday & Thursday at 6:30pm.

Meet Kayla Rubis – Our New Yogini – FREE CLASS OFFER

phattraining — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 18:29:28 +0000

Sitting in the Phat office with Kayla Rubis, I mention her last name reminds me of rooibos, the tea. She claims she has never heard that associated with her name. I ask her if it would be all right if we “”steeped” her, she did not object, I belive this to be a phat union that will last. Read on as we met her together. ps – the first 10 people to comment on this post will receive a free class on May 7th.

Kayla, where did you learn your yoga?

Shanti Studio in Nelson B.C.

Why B.C?

Because I wanted Hatha training and most of the studios in Edmonton are Ashtanga based.

What would you classify your style as?

A Hatha-Flow is more like it, a strong Hatha.. or a gentle flow… i would say my style is a gentle flow

Can anyone take your class?

Absolutely, i am not a pretentious person… beginners, advanced, injuries…i am excited to have anyone in my class.

What do you when someone farts in class?

Are you serious?.. uh well, uh… I might as well answer that question. If it needs attention brought to it…. listen farting in yoga is a good thing, it is good for digestion. farting is good in yoga. ha ha ha.

If you could describe yourself with a colour and a shape, what would they be and why?

I would be a tetra hegon, is that even a word, i know it would be multi shaped, and illuminating different shades like indigo and burgundy depending on what side you were looking at… oh no are people going to think im crazy… hahaha

To get to know this fabulous yogini more, come visit us at the southside phat studio, 8632 53ave. The first 10 people to comment on this post will receive one free class on May 7th.

Stacey’s Doing Bootcamp Tonight!!!

phattraining — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 17:31:58 +0000

I am in the Phat Training head office this afternoon with Stacey Hogbin, partner and trainer extraordinaire. She sits here, rocking out the accounting paper work, eating fruit and veggies, living the “trainer-life.” The blinds are down and the sun is shining as we begin our impromptu interview.

Stacey, are you excited about teaching bootcamp tonight?

No, why, what kind of question is that… is that a trick question?

Why are you not excited?

because Wednesday is my only night I have off, and I dont want to work on those days.

How will you make it fun for the campers? It is not their fault you are tired.

I am going to make them just as tired as me…. (she stomps off) argh!, I am never going to answer questions that I did not know the reason for their questioning.

What kind of workout can the campers expect tonight?

High intensity pyramids

Huh? That is an acronym for HIPS, are you giving the campers hips? I dont think they want those.

A variety of exercises over a period of time, with little recovery time… basically it is going to be awesome, because everyone needs a motivational boost, myself included. I find the best workouts are delivered when I am not feeling as energized as I would hope.

Thanks Stacey, I look forward to hearing how the camp goes!

Jen Hamel – GETfizzYcaL

phattraining — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 01:02:50 +0000

Mother of two fails to shed weight after pregnancy, becomes more and more inactive, increases in size, doesn’t feel like she used to, abandons all hope of returning to her former self – a typical scenario for many women following childbirth but Jen Hamel said “enough was enough!”

Unable to find the strength and stamina to play with her children Jen, who at 5 foot 7 carried 205 pounds (93 kilos), set about an awesome transformation.
