At RediFitness, we’re committed to helping our participants build real‑world strength in a way that feels safe, supportive, and empowering. That’s why you’ll often see our athletes training with soft farmer’s‑walk weighted bags instead of traditional metal dumbbells.

🇨🇦 We’re also proud to share that these bags are made by Eye Sew Corporation (eyesew.ca) — a family‑owned business founded in Toronto in 2015, built on a lifelong passion for sailmaking, industrial sewing, and fabric craftsmanship. Their quality and care align perfectly with our mission.

✨ Why we choose weighted bags for our athletes: Many of our participants are still developing grip strength, motor planning, and sensory comfort. Metal dumbbells can be cold, slippery, and loud if dropped. Weighted bags offer a safer, more sensory‑friendly alternative with soft, easy‑to‑hold handles that reduce risk and boost confidence.

✨ What does this mean for the athlete:
Safer strength training with less chance of injury
A comfortable, sensory‑friendly experience
Movements that translate directly to daily life (carrying groceries, bags, etc.)
More confidence, more success, and more joy in every session

✨ Why we’re investing in more of these tools: Weighted bags help us create an inclusive training environment where every participant can thrive. They support diverse needs, encourage independence, and reflect our commitment to functional fitness. And with Eye Sew’s craftsmanship behind them, we know they’ll last.

🔥 Exciting news: These custom‑made weighted bags will be available for sale soon. Quantities will be very limited, so stay tuned for details.

Proud of our athletes. Proud of our community. Proud to partner with local makers who share our values.

On this special day, I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you. Over the past 13 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with incredible athletes and their families—together, we’ve built a culture of effort, respect, and teamwork that I will always cherish.

This year brought an exciting new chapter for me. In June, I joined Autism Beyond 21 as an Integrative Wellness and Support Specialist, where I’ve been focusing on autism fitness. This approach has been truly transformative—helping individuals not only improve strength and mobility but also gain confidence and independence in their activities of daily living. Seeing how fitness can empower someone to move better, feel stronger, and live more fully continues to be one of the most rewarding experiences of my career.

On this Christmas Day, I hope you’re surrounded by love, laughter, and the warmth of family. May this season bring peace and joy to your homes, and may the new year ahead be filled with growth, health, and happiness. I’m excited for all that 2026 will bring—and I hope our paths continue to cross in meaningful ways.

Thank you for trusting me with your athletes and for being part of this incredible journey. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a bright, beautiful New Year!

Happy World Autism Awareness Day

My mission from day one has been to provide the best experience possible to all of our athletes.

We do so by meeting the athlete where they are with their current level ability and by getting to know the athlete as a person first and respecting each athlete for who they are.

Empowering each athlete to be strong and confident through physical activity with the goal of improving activities of daily living 💪

In the Strength phase is where we spend the most time with our athletes.

You can see how Farmers Walk and Chest Carries are two of the many exercises we do with our athletes that carryover to activities of daily living.

The goal is to improve the lives of our ASD and ND athletes as they work on their programs 💪

Coach uses simple and direct language to provide instruction to the athlete while providing behavioural specific praise while athlete completes each exercises and reps accordingly.

Some athletes may require re-direction and that’s okay, if we remain consistent with the use of language that makes sense to the athlete, we are ensuring the athlete has the opportunity to be successful with their individual program.
