We have 2 complimentary sessions for you guys to meet our team and let you experience the SYMFIT Advantage.

This is not a bootcamp. SYMFIT group Train combines strategic strength training, yoga & martial arts (SYM), it may feel more like playing rather than training. Don't be fooled, our goal with the class is to provide a functional full-body strength workout in a semi-private setting - think modified personal training at a fraction of the cost.

Water vs Coke?
We all know that water is important but I’ve never seen it written down like this before.
WATER
1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.
2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.
3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 30%.
4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.
5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.
6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers.
7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.
8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.
And now for the properties of COKE
1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.
2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.
3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.
4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.
5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion.
6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.
7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for a sumptuous brown gravy.
8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.
For Your Info
1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.
2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.
3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!
Now the question is, would you like a glass of water or coke?

Where I have been...
Just wanted to address where I have been as of late. I think it's been almost three weeks since I have published a new posting. Never fear, I haven't called it a quits. In reality, the last three weeks have been the busiest of my life. Okay I'm bullshitting you, nothing beats college and university, but it was a busy time none the less. Not sure where the time went, but that's the beauty of life, sometimes it goes fast and sometimes it goes slow, all without warning. I love it!!
On the top of my head, I can say my time was divided up among a few things.A lot of time went to preparing for my Hockey finals. It was a long month, my team, the Blueliners, went all the way to the end, only to lose it in a shoot out. A unsettling manner to be defeated in (especially a Gold Puck game - that's the prize in the end), but all in all it was a memorable season!
I also took last week off to break the routine and declutter my mind. Much of that time was spent on re-focusing and re-centering. Time and time again, our busy lives take us away from the things we love. Too true that was for me. So I decided to stopped it before I drifted too far away. Time was spent traveling/discovering more of BC, practicing my skills with the guitar, reading (not writing lol), experimenting with new training methods/techniques, snowboarding, etc. It was a refreshing experience. I highly recommend it to anyone if they can find the time off themselves.
Safe to say, my own personal workouts have been going very strong. I hope yours have been too. I Hope to publish a few new routines for everyone by the end of this month. Just to warn you, I have been working hard on a lot of handstand positions made famous by yoga. If you haven't tried yoga yet, do yourself a favour and do it. A whole new dimension of fitness will open up for you. Promise. 
Spent a week catching up on the remainder of season 3 of the walking dead. It was hard to ignore it as EVERYONE around me was talking about it. My opinion, the finale was two thumbs down lol. I guess the remainder of my time went to hanging out with family and friends and dating.I'm sure I'm forgetting a whole lot of things that should get recognition. Meh!
Oh yeah... WORK. I work for a living too. I love my job so I don't view it as work and it's often not on my mind. Don't hate hehe :) I am happy to say SymFit is almost ready for launch. What is SymFit, you ask! It's the new personal training company I am proud to be a part of. Since the beginning of the year, me and my team have been hard at work with various aspects of it. I can't wait to expose it to the world. Speaking of various aspects, we recently recorded a podcast on
