Part VIII

And finally, this guy! Kenton, my husband of 15 years and business partner has been a strong and unwavering support throughout this 5 year journey. Behind the scenes, Kenton worked countless hours on payroll and all the hard, less exciting components of the business, while still juggling the responsibilities of his paid job, and being a dad to our three kids. He didn't complain, and yes was very tired (it may take him time to recover 😉), but he chose to support me and Xtend despite the challenges. I love and respect him so much for allowing me to follow my dream and yet sacrifice so much. ♥️

Part VII

And a huge thank you to this lady!! Paige always knows how to capture those special moments and memories. She has been part of our community for 1.5 years and was an ambassador to our community. Paige, you have a beautiful gift to see, capture and create beauty. You were such a special part of our team and passionate about barre as much as we were.

Anyone who is looking for a photographer, Paige is a talented local artist and such a pleasure to work with. ♥️ She is amazing!!

Part VI (continued):

Heather, you were also with us since the beginning and were faithful, reliable, full of integrity, dedicated, hard working, and always have that little 'extra' going above and beyond. I appreciate your friendship and all the Saturday mornings we spent together. We could give you not-so-fun, but higher thinking tasks and you completed all these with excellence. I will miss our Saturday mornings together and so appreciate the care you gave our community. Thank you for everything!

Jessica, you voluntarily opened the studio before 6am twice a week and sacrificed Sunday afternoons for TRX. You would take home laundry without being asked, find things to help take the load off, and never sought attention, recognition or compensation for doing these behind the studio essentials. You are selfless and truly made our community better. Thank you for loving and serving us!

Megan, again you were only with us a short time and we were so excited to one day see you become an instructor (I think it will still happen). You are energetic, full of fun and I know you will deliver an incredible, unforgettable workout experience. Thank you for gracing Xtend with your joy, passion, and building community with our members. We can't wait to see you when you come back from Calgary.

Slavka, your keen attention for detail and cleanliness certainly kept our standards high - in a good way! You are always so giving, one of the hardest working ladies I know and your compassion for others is beautiful. You have a deep understanding and empathy. You are genuine, real and I am so appreciative of your presence in my life. Thank you! @ Xtend Barre Edmonton

Part V (continued)

To our Front End Membership Experience Team who really set the tone for the community and the experience:
You often would do so many tasks behind the scenes that made everyone's experience better. You were the heart of Xtend. Thank you for problem solving, paying attention to all the little details, welcoming and loving guests, and keeping the studio clean. We wouldn't have had such a thriving, welcoming, vibrant community without you! I wish we had more photos!!

Aila, you were only with us for a short while, but I was thankful for your availability when we needed you, your quickness to learn and your kindness. You never complained about cleaning up after all the littles, and shared your sweetness with our Xtend community. Thank you for being part of our fam!

Abbi, you were our faithful Friday night girl. We watched you graduate high school and you were our youngest staff member to date. You loved Xtend and even would sacrifice mornings to attend 6am classes alongside your mom. Thank you for your generosity, for growing alongside us, your dedication (especially to Friday evenings) and building community with us. And also, for all those babysitting hours in the beginning! My kids love you!

Carlee, you were another member-turned-staff and we are so grateful you found us. You are wise, hard-working, thoughtful, and you 'got it'. You loved our community members like family, you were able to share your journey from a fitness perspective and we were fortunate enough to have your fiance Kyle join because of you. You have a soft, kind heart and people can be themselves around you. Thank you for everything - and your hugs, we will miss those too!

Courtney, you have been such a bright light to our community. You are creative and think outside the box, you are intentional in all you do, and were the heart behind our sticky note encouragement notes which impacted many. Thank you for your encouragement, support and leading events. You do so effortlessly and are gifted in partnering with others. You are soft, but outgoing, humble yet full of a quiet confidence. You are wise beyond your years.

Part IV (continued)

Tatiana, you are so much fun and we have missed having you around since sweet N arrived. You are creative, passionate, outgoing and built such a beautiful Girl Strong program for Xtend. Those junior high girls love you - you modelled leadership, integrity, kindness and allowed them to feel at home so they could be themselves. Your Fitball class was a highlight of many of our members' week as was your sense of humour. Thank you for building with us, and your cheerleading support, even from home the past few months.

Tiffini, your passion for barre, fitness, Piloxing and pilates is undeniable. Your love for learning translates into the high quality of your classes. You practice until you get better, no matter what the challenge. You are resilient and strong. You are willing to learn new things and you put your heart and energy into that which you love and are excited about. Your role as a studio manager came at a time when it was needed and you lessened the load. Thank you for everything.

Zaq, you aren't afraid to be yourself and we love that about you! You have been my cheerleader and are enthusiastic about everything you do. You never needed a mic! Your positive energy, creativity and motivation pushed our members to be stronger, try workouts they were scared to attempt and you affirmed each of these individuals and helped them feel successful. You helped everybody feel welcome and included and I love that about you! Thank you for helping us create an inclusive, loving community.

Part III (continued)

Lisa, you have the most giving, generous, selfless heart. I'm not sure if I would have made it through the past few months without your generosity of time, willingness to film online videos (twice a week!) and your compassion and friendship. Although you always have so much going on (this woman is truly superwoman and runs a dayhome), you were present and helped me. You made me feel like I could keep going even when it felt like I was drowning. Thank you is not enough for your kindness, friendship and support. You are an incredible woman and I am blessed to call you my friend.

Sarah, we were so excited when you joined our team. You bring a playful joy, energy and are so much fun! You were willing to jump in and play with kids, lead our teen classes and adult Xtend classes. So adaptable! You work hard, are always kind and move with grace. Thank you for everything you brought to our community - your passion, love for dance and caring for our members.

Tana, you have a passion for fitness and dance that is contagious! When we were in need for an instructor to teach a wide range of classes - TRX, Barre, stretch, strength, you showed up and you bring your best in everything you do. You graced our community with positivity, affirmation and authenticity. Your willingness to help out has been such an incredible gift in this season. Thank you for sharing your big heart, for your endless support and leadership. You love people so well, including myself and for that I am so grateful.

Part II (continued)

Dana , you are such a fun and inspirational member-turned-instructor. Your passion for Xtend Barre while juggling the full time job of being a mom of 3 boys is admirable. You work hard at everything and infuse it with authenticity and your sense of humour. We loved having you part of our Xtend fam and I secretly missed having you part of class once you started teaching. You made me smile and were always so encouraging.

Hannah, you picked up Xtend Barre in no time. Not only are you an excellent instructor and give a killer pilates class, you keep everyone engaged with your jokes. I'm not sure if I have ever not laughed while taking a class with you. I will miss the way my abdominals burn in your class and the way you take special care and attention for each individual in your class. You truly were able to see each person and know how to give them what they needed.

Hilary, from 4.5 years ago until now, you have come so far. You lead your classes with professionalism, passion, positivity and enthusiasm. You go 'all in' and bring your best every single class. You have a beautiful, soft heart and hold high standards to quality. As a Teacher Trainer for XB as a team we were so proud of how hard you worked to learn and transfer knowledge to others. Thank you for your encouragement, endless support and carrying the brand. You are always gracious and humble.

Laura, you were the one who I could dream alongside, bounce ideas off of, get advice and find a friend and confidante. You took over social media when I needed a break, you led our instructor team, launched a new format, helped find ideas for challenges, photoshoots, marketing, and even proof-read my newsletters. Thank you for walking this journey alongside me. You made it less lonely as a leader. Thank you for your encouragement, believing in me and for coffee dates. So grateful for you.

Part I:

Before I (Jeanette) say goodbye to this amazing community, I want to thank the many special individuals that made Xtend what it was: a safe, inclusive space fueled by a passion for movement with the purpose of building connection and encouraging positive physical and mental health.

There are many individuals who we are grateful to have part of our story, but those mentioned below were with us in the end, riding through those final months of uncertainty alongside us.

Thank you to our instructors. These individuals lived and breathed Xtend Barre and carried out the vision of loving people and meeting people where they were at, inside the walls of the studio.

Bethany, your positive energy, sense of humour, passion for community, and high standards for delivering an excellent class made you a top-notch instructor. In the earlier days you helped me with interviews, lent wisdom and were a huge support, thank you.

Camille, the first I met you, you danced through your audition with grace and sweetness. You would greet members with your huge smile and quiet confidence. Your classes are challenging and you had the ability to work even the very seasoned Xtender. Your ballet classes were my favourite - they provided a peace and calm from the busyness of life.

Cheryl, although you have had so much on the go this past year we loved having you in the community. You bring calm, creativity, and have been such an encouragement on this journey. Your ability to speak life and truth into people's lives is beautiful. The many times xtenders were able to leave your class feeling taller, better, cannot be counted. You spread peace, joy and love just be being present.

To our beloved Xtend Fam,

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the permanent closure of our beautiful studio, Xtend Barre Edmonton. The impact of the pandemic over the past few months has been challenging for our small, family-run business. The option of reopening, with many additional restrictions on our small space, is unfortunately not financially viable for our business to survive.

For many of us, Xtend Barre was more than just a workout. It was a home. It was a community. It was a family of people from all different stages in life, different abilities, passions, and goals coming together for the purpose of health; not just to get and stay fit, but also for our mental health.

Each of you were our why and you fueled our fire to bring our best. Your smiles, your encouragement, and even your eyerolls when we made you sweat through 8 more reps brought us joy and purpose.

Over the past four years we have grown. We have laughed together and we have certainly cried. We have seen you push through hard things and come out on the other side. Babies have been born and grown and engagements have turned into marriages. You have each let us be part of your journey and for that we are truly honoured.

For those of you who would be interested in sharing your story on how Xtend has impacted you, we would love to hear so we can encourage our staff and have something to remember this beautiful community by.

We don’t believe this is goodbye.

Thank you for loving us and supporting us and allowing us to bring our dream to life the past four years.

We love you! ♥️

If you have questions about what this means for you, please check the newsletter we sent out to our community members.

Xtending love and gratitude,
Jeanette, Kenton
and your Xtend Barre Edmonton Family

**** Save the date: July 8 @ 7:30pm Louis McKinney Park for 'One Last' Workout Birthday Celebration with some of your Xtend instructors.
