Hey Chicks,<\/p>\n

We love our FIT CHICK Family and wanted to share with you a little more about our team of fierce femmes<\/strong>, their favorite workouts & tips and how they began to follow their passion of spreading health and wellness. This week, meet the amazing Violet<\/strong> from our Oshawa Bootcamp!<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Violet<\/a><\/p>\n

FC \u2013 What made you want to become a Personal Trainer and\/or a Fitness Instructor and Boot Camp Instructor with FIT CHICKS?<\/h3>\n

I was looking to join an organization where I could use my passion of training and help people reach their fitness goals. I worked at a gym for a few months but was unsatisfied because the main focus of training was to \u201csell\u201d more sessions and this was not for me.\u00a0 Unfulfilled, I started looking elsewhere and one morning I was reading the Toronto Star and read an amazing article on \u201cFIT CHICKS\u201d. I loved what FIT CHICKS stood for and was eager to join such a great organization which promoted women\u2019s health. I immediately checked the website to see if they were hiring, and they were!<\/p>\n

FC \u2013 Which location do you teach?<\/h3>\n

I teach at the OSHAWA Bootcamp location which is at Beau Valley Public School.<\/p>\n

FC \u2013 What are your top 3 cardio and \/ or strength exercises to help women tighten and tone their trouble spots?<\/h3>\n

My chicks know how much I love burpees! (okay, sometimes I do not love them). Burpees are an amazing move that combines cardio and strength. My chicks are always amazed how many different variations of burpees we do! J Another favourite is the plank! There are so many creative exercises you can do with the plank. My third top exercise is the wall sit which is a great strength exercise for those legs!<\/p>\n

FC \u2013 What\u2019s your favorite healthy post-workout snack after a kick butt workout?<\/h3>\n

Protein! I love a good protein shake. I make up my own recipes which include coconut or almond milk, some fruits and of course a scoop of whey protein powder. A second favourite post-workout snack is honey Greek yogurt with fruit. Yum!<\/p>\n

FC \u2013 What are your professional fitness certifications?<\/h3>\n

Canfitpro Personal Trainer and Level 1 Kickboxing instructor<\/p>\n

FC \u2013 Other than being a certified personal trainer and fitness instructor, what would you like Chicks to know about you?<\/h3>\n

Besides teaching fab chicks I also teach kids. My full-time job is a teacher! Just like being a FIT CHICKS instructor, I find teaching kids a very rewarding and fulfilling job and I absolutely love it! Another passion of mine is running. I started with a 5k and after that I was hooked! I have completed 2 half-marathons in the last 2 years and I hope one day to do my first triathlon.<\/p>\n

Thanks for sharing, Violet!<\/p>\n

PS. Come and sweat up a storm with us at our next session starting Nov 7th<\/a>.\u00a0 Plus, we are so pumped to have now launched our FIT CHICKS Loyalty Program<\/a> and New Return Chick Rates<\/a> to help our chicks get fitter faster (plus save some pennies at the same time!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
