Our Mov

"🌧️☀️ Embracing the power of sunshine even in the rainy months to boost my mood and combat depression. Despite the gloomy weather, I'll find ways to let the sun's rays reach me. Whether it's sitting by a window, using light therapy lamps, or taking short walks during breaks in the rain, I'll make sure to soak in the sunlight whenever possible. Let's chase away the clouds and nurture our mental well-being! 💪💛

Officially 5 years Sober. I’ve been telling people I’m 5 years sober for months now, which has made the last couple months more difficult. I’ve been having the urge to drink lately because of this. I’ve been living in the future too much, and that’s making the present harder to live in. Stay present each day for yourself and for the others in your life. You can’t foresee the future, or change the past. Work on having the “Win each day mentality” as if we can do that, we will be successful long term.

In a world filled with so much sadness, darkness, and despair, we can all benefit from movement. When designing Crosslift I wanted to stay true to myself and what brought me to the gym; using movement as medicine to overcome addiction and mental health issues. Now, more than ever our world craves positive ways to relieve stress and channel positive endorphins; so why not start now? My studio gym offers top of the line machines you won’t find anywhere else in Nanaimo, as well as unique equipment that I will personally show you how to use safely and effectively. No matter what walk of life your in, I invite you to join me and take a step forward to bettering yourself both physically and mentally.

Being a “Girl Dad” has changed my perspective on life more than I could have ever predicted. I want nothing more, than equal rights for this girl as she grows up. Sloane Ivy Rose Calder, you can do anything a guy can do! Hell even better!

There’s no magic pill, no shortcut, just hard work and dedication.
Quit waiting for the perfect quote that inspires you, or the quickest workout for a six pack.
Stopping trying to find inspiration on the outside and start looking in. You yourself have all the tools to get the job done. You got You!

I love what I do‼️ Helping people live healthy lifestyles makes me happy, plain and simple‼️

Be honest, do you own all the movements in your workout 🏋️‍♀️ ? If not, take a step back in order to move forward.
To have a strong structure, spend the time on your foundation. Keep building brick by brick 🧱 and you’ll get there.
Once you can crush the basics, then you get the key 🔑 to unlock dynamic movements.

Lifting isn’t going to be an option for me at this time due to medical reasons. Unfortunately, Injuries 🤕 are a part of the game. They can break you mentally if you let them. Once your injured your stuck immediately at a crossroads❌. Either quit (easy choice considering you have a built in excuse), or change course. If there’s one thing COVID has taught me its to be adaptable. Don’t get stuck in one set way, because the path can change in a instant, and I’m blazing a new one as we speak. I’m hurt, not dead☠️ . I Just have to reroute and refocus and press on.

🚨🚨This year I’m getting out of my comfort zone, that’s where the magic 🪄 happens. Everyone has done bicep curls or bench press, this year let’s try some new stuff!!

I enjoy this s**t, plain and simple! I’m never looking back, this is what I was meant to do. I’m going to ride it until the wheels fall off. Don’t believe me… just watch! #

🚨🚨Well it’s that time of year again. New year, new you? ⛔️ I’m Sorry that’s way to cheesy for me to get behind! How about looking beyond the idea of a new year, and find a genuine individualized reason to start taking control of your health. ✅

Do you really want this to be the year you start living a healthy life?
Then first things first, you have to figure out why the hell your getting into shape?

◾️Is it because you’ve seen your parents live an unhealthy life and you want to break the trend?

◾️Are you wanting to teach your kids to live a healthy life by modelling this behaviour?

◾️Or did you or someone you know have a health scare, that put your life into perspective?

Find a REAL reason and burn it into your brain!
Think about that very reason when your on your last set, last rep, last second, and most importantly on those days where getting to the gym is an incredible struggle both mentally and physically.

✔️One rule, your reason has to be stronger than your excuses.

So instead of thinking you should start a new healthy routine because it’s a new year; dig deeper. Find that motivation, overcome your doubts, and show up for yourself today and every day going forward. 📈💯✊🏼
