Story of FIT CHICKS
So peeps always ask us, how did FIT CHICKS come to life?
Here is our tale of 2 chicks with a cute set of workout clothes and big dreams
to get people moving…
We have been besties since grade 9.
Both coming from struggles with weight and body image, we became interested in fitness and started working out, eventually getting certified as personal trainers with Amanda Quinn also getting her certs as an Ashtanga Yoga teacher and Laura Jackson branching out as a Nutrition Wellness Specialist.
Over the years, we tried everything- from hip hop to belly dancing to run fit classes. Some were crazy, some were awesome but there always felt like something was missing.
One night in our townhouse in Toronto, we started chatting about all the things we would like to see in a program – something that was fun, challenging, a little fabulous, for chicks only, always different and was a real community of peeps helping peeps reach their goals. We wanted a program that any level could participate in. That would still be challenging for everyone but not overwhelming (fitness should be fun!) and that gave chicks the tools and education to live a healthy lifestyle for the long haul.
We thought, if we can’t find – why not create it?
And from there FIT CHICKS was born.
We launched our first FIT CHICKS Bootcamp in Sept 2008 and 7 chicks signed up. From that we have been spreading our FC luv across Canada and have trained over 4500 chicks to date. Not only that, we now offer our boot camp programs across Canada as well as fitness and nutrition chick challenges, workshops, retreats and don’t plan to stop here. We want to spread our FC luv as far and as wide as we can until every chick is excited about being healthy and feeling fabulous in their skin.
Our mission is simple: TO GET CHICKS FIT.
We want you to get excited about your health and wellness and then spread that to those around you. Because when you feel good in your skin, the sky is limit!
We teach because we love it and built a team who feel the same! Every member of the FIT CHICK family is just as passionate about our mission.
We know fitness and health do take work.
It is not a fad but you can still have a rockin’ time while doing it. We are not just here to kick your butts but are here to support and help you along your journey.
To us FIT CHICKS is more than class and we know it will be to you too.
We can’t wait to sweat up a storm with you soon!
Your Head Chicks,
Amanda and Laura xox
