PROGRAM FEEDBACK:

I wanted to say a great big thank you for the personal training and Nordic walking training this year! I have had a really sporty and healthy summer thanks to your support getting me more fit. I am able to keep up with the adventurous (usually men only) paddling group at my cottage and we spent many hours in our kayaks and canoes exploring various the Gatineau-area waterways. Also I have got my husband and mother out using the Nordic poles, and I was able to Nordic walk the ski hill twice one day in the Rouge Park. It's great to feel more fit, especially when I can be outdoors.
