“... I love that she views her classes as a way to strengthen and give back to your body, rather than a way to lose calories... I feel that her outlook is healthier than other fitness experiences I’ve had and is something that can last in my lifestyle”. - Jo, a Barre with Gill member.

This testimonial made my heart so happy. This is exactly why I do what I do. It’s all about creating lifelong healthy habits and when you use movement as a way to honour your body and give back to it, that is when the magic happens. 🤎✨

PELVIC FLOOR DYSFUNCTION -

Some common symptoms are (but not limited to):
- leaking (this can happen when you’re coughing, laughing, working out, or just in your everyday life)
- bladder issues (I.e., sudden urge for needing to p*e, pain while p*eing, not being able to release your bladder fully, etc.)
- constipation
- pain during s*x
- lower back pain
- abdominal and/or re**um pressure
- painful periods
- muscle spasms or pain in your pelvis

If you are experiencing ANY of these symptoms, know that it can be fixed!

No, it’s not “normal” and you do not need to just “live with it” and it surely is not something that “just happens” after having babies.

My top pieces of advice would be (and even if you’re not experiencing any symptoms, these are still great suggestions):
- book a doctors appointment and ask for a referral for a pelvic floor physiotherapist
- follow through and book your initial assessment and attend all other necessary appointments (you will learn SO much!!!)
- learn how to do a deep abdominal breath properly. This is crucial in ensuring that your pelvic floor can function optimally! (If you need help with this, reach out! I can guide you through it).
- find workouts that are pelvic floor/prenatal/postnatal safe! (Barre is great for this because all exercises are low impact but I will be launching a workout program designed specifically for women who are needing to work on their pelvic floor muscles/deep abdominal muscles a little bit more, so stay tuned!

I’m always available to chat if you have further questions! I have been through this before and it’s not fun dealing with these symptoms. You’re not alone! 🤍

So, why have I removed crunches and sit-ups from all Barre with Gill classes?

These are such classic exercises that are often used in workouts. They’re exercises that many people think “oh I’ll get a flat belly and nice six pack if I do crunches every day”.

The truth is, it’s exceptionally difficult to perform them properly. Now that my entire business is online, I can’t see my clients in person to correct them or give alternative cues. Many people bulge their bellies out while doing this exercise and therefore create the opposite effect of what is most desired - a flat tummy.

Not only that, but crunches and sit-ups put immense pressure on your lower back and hip flexors and can cause unnecessary pain.

Barre focuses on functional based movement - the type of movement that will help you in everyday life.

Sit-ups and crunches if performed incorrectly (and most often are) are only working the superficial muscles; the re**us abdominis, also known as the “6-pack muscle”.

I decided to remove crunches and sit-ups from my classes because I want to ensure that my clients are benefitting from each exercise in more ways, than if they were solely working a single muscle.

It’s more important to me to educate my clients on how to target their deep abdominal muscles (also known as the core 4 - this includes your transversus abdominis, your diaphragm, your pelvic floor and your multifidus).

In my classes, you’ll notice that all of my ab exercises are compound exercises, meaning we’re working more than just one muscle. Core is a huge component in Barre. I always say, our abs and spine are like bff’s. You need to ensure you’re properly targeting and working your ab muscles to allow your body to perform optimally in your everyday life.

What are your thoughts on crunches and sit-ups? Do you still incorporate them into your workouts?

I have successfully completed the Prenatal & Postnatal Fitness Specialist and Core Confidence Specialist course! This means that I am now double certified in prenatal and postnatal for fitness.

This has been such a rewarding experience. I have learned so many valuable skills, knowledge and information that I cannot wait to share.

Pelvic floor health is not talked about enough in the fitness world, so I want to bridge that gap and provide the support that any woman who is either pregnant, postnatal or suffering from any pelvic floor issues (like I was prior to becoming a Barre instructor) needs.

It is my mission to work with you and to properly educate, inform & share my knowledge with you.

I am now accepting clients for virtual private training. Very limited spots available so if this is something that interests you, please email me at [email protected] to inquire. 🤍

As indoor gyms & fitness studios close down again for 28 days (in Ottawa, Toronto & Peel Region) due to COVID-19, why not get into a healthy fitness routine at home?

Now more than ever, it’s important to have certainty in our life. Barre with Gill virtual classes be can accessed anytime, anywhere. Choose from a variety of videos and always look forward to new videos each week - both live classes and on-demand! Don’t see a class that you’re looking for? Let me know and I’d be happy to film it for you!

I want to help you through these unprecedented times. Fitness and healthy habits can help us immensely. It’s not all just for looking better... it’s about feeling better - mentally, emotionally & physically.

Visit www.barrewithgill.com for more info and let me know if you have any questions! 🤍

Let’s continue to wear our masks, stay home when possible and wash our hands.

Stay moving, stay healthy, stay smiling. 💦❤️😁
