⚠️ Fitness Circuit Update ⚠️

Due to the current poor air quality and the ongoing heat wave, we've made the decision to move our Outdoor Fitness Circuit classes indoors to help keep everyone safe while still getting a great workout.

📍 16 Station Street
🗓️ Tuesday & Thursday: 6:30 a.m. – 7:30 a.m.
🗓️ Wednesday & Friday: 5:00 p.m. – 5:45 p.m.

Your health and safety are our top priority, and we don't want anyone missing out because of the weather. Come enjoy the same challenging circuit workout in the comfort of our air-conditioned Group Fitness Room!

💪 Everyone is welcome, and remember—all group fitness classes are included with your monthly membership.

We look forward to seeing you inside! Stay cool, stay hydrated, and we'll keep moving together.

🧘 Welcome to Bancroft Fitness, Melanie! 💪

Some of you may have already met Melanie around the gym over the past couple of weeks, but we'd like to officially welcome her to the Bancroft Fitness team as one of our summer placements!

Melanie is currently studying Fitness & Health Promotion at Algonquin College and recently completed her first placement at the YMCA. She also works full-time with the Bluewater District School Board and is a certified yoga instructor, teaching classes twice a week.

With a family cottage near Bancroft, Melanie was excited to complete part of her placement in our community and learn more about how a rural fitness program operates. We're thrilled to have her with us this summer!

You'll find Melanie leading our YogaSculpt class every:

🗓️ Tuesday's
🕤 9:30 – 10:30 a.m.

YogaSculpt combines the benefits of yoga with light strength training to improve balance, flexibility, mobility, and overall fitness. The class is suitable for all fitness levels, and modifications are always available.

If you haven't had a chance to meet Melanie yet, be sure to introduce yourself the next time you're at the gym. We're excited to have her as part of the Bancroft Fitness family this summer! 🌞
