June 7, 2022: Program Update | Jo-Anne Sheffield

Good rainy morning,

Just a few things about bootcamp:

Rain on Thursday – June 9?
While I know we need this rain, I hope it doesn’t put a damper (pun intended 🙂 ) on our bootcamp on Thursday. If it looks like it will, I’ll email you by noon to let you know if we are shifting to an indoor bootcamp at the High Performance Studio on Bloor Street.

Spring Session Ends June 23
Just a reminder that there are three bootcamp classes left in this spring session – we end on June 23rd.

Do you want to continue with another six week session?
I wanted to get a read on how many of you would be interested in carrying on for another session after this one is finished. The dates would be June 30 – August 4th – six weeks.
I know many of you have summer plans so I’ll be happy to regroup in the fall if that works better for the majority.

Please let me know if you would be interested in another bootcamp session.

Have a great day and I’ll see you on Thursday!

Jo-Anne

June 2, 2022: Program Update | Jo-Anne Sheffield

Hi All,

Looks like IF it rains it should be finished by 5:00pm so let’s plan to go to an outdoor bootcamp tonight. Just know it might be a bit wet on the grass. IF it’s raining hard, we’ll switch to an indoor bootcamp at the Bloor Street location.

I will only send another email IF we are moving inside otherwise see you at the Humber park.

See you soon.

Hi,

The weather looks good for our first bootcamp of this season. To confirm we are meeting at 6:00pm along the Humber River trail on the south side of Old Mill Road. Coming from the west, drive east on Old Mill Road and turn right just past the Old Mill Spa (before you cross the stone bridge that goes over the Humber River) and there are two parking lots there. I will be just under the Old Mill subway bridge where the murals are. Text me if you are lost and need clearer directions.

Bring water and a towel.

Please contact me with any questions and I’ll see you on Thursday night.

Hi,

As another year comes to a close I wanted to reach out and wish you much happiness for this holiday season and year ahead. 🎄

It may have been a year of challenges but there were many fun and memorable moments too so here are some of my favourite things about 2021.

Bootcamp with the Kingsway Boxing crew was so much fun! I loved being with everyone in-person and outdoors and I will be doing another bootcamp this Spring!

Two of my personal training clients are over 80! One is over 90! I love working with these women. How many times can I say it people, age is just a number and keeping your body moving is the most important thing you can do for your health.

Vancouver Island and all its natural beauty was a wonderful reprieve. We will be back!

Having an injury has made me both physically and mentally stronger.

Tuesday nights were back at Kingsway Boxing with my Conditioning class. This small group of kick-ass people keep me smiling and sweating for the full 45-minutes. I love you guys.

Continued my relationship with Brooks Running Canada as one of their ambassadors. This company represents all I love about the running community and making fitness fun. #runhappy

But my absolute favorite thing of 2021 was being connected with you, my clients, classes participants and friends. Thank you for your inspiration, loyalty and kindness. 💓

Hi,

I just came back from checking the lighting at Fairfield Seniors Centre now that the clocks have been turned back and I’m sorry but it’s just too dark there to do a bootcamp safely but I promise to start it up again in the spring.

I will be continuing my Tuesday night class at the High Performance Studio with a new session starting up in the new year, so please reach out if you want to be included in the class as it has limited space.

Jennifer will be working out payment of the $20/class owed but if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for your enthusiasm and good humour at the bootcamps these past few months and I’ll see you in the spring (or sooner I hope). 💓

Be well,

Jo-Anne

Hi there,

Checking the weather and while it looks a bit chilly I think I can keep us warmed up with some bootcamp antics tomorrow night so let’s do it.

Oct 27, 2021: Program Update | Jo-Anne Sheffield

Hi,

So, I’m sorry for the late email but my days just get away from me but I’m back from my wonderful week off and ready to do another bootcamp tomorrow night (Thursday, Oct 28) if you are. Because we are losing the light earlier could we move the start time to 5:30 or 5:45?

Please let me know asap if you are ok to join tomorrow night. For billing, I’ll just keep track of who came and how often we do these one off and then we’ll square up with Jennifer.

See you tomorrow?

Oct 04, 2021: Program Update | Jo-Anne Sheffield

Hi!

I hope you are enjoying our Thursday night bootcamp as much as I am?! Just a reminder that there are only two more classes left in this session. I have decided to not continue with bootcamp beyond October 14th as I will be taking a vacation the following week and I think that the weather will be too unpredictable and probably a lot colder by the end of October to continue.

I will however be continuing my Tuesday Conditioning class which is at the High Performance studio on Bloor Street. Currently the class is full at 9 participants BUT I would consider adding another class at 7:00pm if many of you bootcamp people want to come on Tuesday night instead.

Please let me know your thoughts. Enjoy the weekend and I’ll see you next Thursday! 💪

Hi there,

Well, the rain continues to fall and the majority of you can reschedule for tomorrow night so let’s do that. As much as it would be fun (maybe?) to workout while it rains beside us, I think it’s safer to reschedule. So same place as previous, map below and please bring a mat and water.

Thanks everyone for your quick response and flexibility.

Good morning 🌧

Fingers crossed the rain stops and we can do our bootcamp tonight. I’ve outlined two options for us. Please take a minute to read and respond so I can plan our class. I will make the call about today’s class at 3:30pm so please look for a confirmation email.

1. TONIGHT – Location Change

If it’s a lighter rain I would like to propose we move the bootcamp to under the Old Mill bridge. I will send a map if we choose this option. There is a lot of room for us to stay under the bridge and if it’s not pouring rain the road should be ok.

Please let me know if you have any concerns about tonight in the light rain under the bridge.

2. TOMORROW – July 9 

If we have to reschedule could you do tomorrow Friday July 9 at the same time? The forecast looks a bit better tomorrow for our time.

Please let me know if you can reschedule to Friday, July 9 5:30pm.
Thanks!

Hello!

Just wanted to reiterate that there will be no bootcamp this Thursday, July 1st as it’s Canada Day! Our next bootcamp will be July 8th at 5:30pm. 

Meeting at the same location. Map below.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Jun. 28/2021

Hi,

Just checking in to see how you are feeling after our first bootcamp last night. Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. If you haven’t worked out in a while you may be a little stiff today or possibly tomorrow so please take a few minutes to stretch.

I also wanted to remind you that next Thursday is Canada Day so we won’t be doing bootcamp again until July 8th. 

Lastly, as we move into stage 2 we are not limited to just 10 people together in an outdoor setting so the class can be expanded if you have friends or relatives who were trying to register, they now can.

Great seeing you all again and I’ll see you in the same park on Thursday, July 8th, 5:30pm.

Hi,

I just wanted to confirm that bootcamp will be starting tonight at 5:30pm. The location is a park south of Old Mill along the Humber River. Here’s another map but if you put in Toronto Humber Yacht Club in your GPS you will find us. You can park along the Humber Valley Road and I’ll set us up in the big park area. Directions are below.

Please bring a mat and water bottle. No equipment necessary for this first session.

Please text me 416 305 7023 if you are lost or need to cancel.

See you tonight!

Jo-Anne

Directions

Here is the location. You can approach it by car from Riverwood Parkway. You proceed down a big hill and stay left which is called Humber Valley Road. If you happen to go right you’ll end up at the Boat put in area. Just turn around and you’ll find us.

If you did Muscle Run with me last year we did one of our runs here. It’s a very big flat area. I’ll get there early to stake out an area for us to workout.

Jun. 18/2021

Hello,

I had a bit of an issue with my knee on Monday and was not able to put weight on it. I am improving quickly and am now walking unaided. I’ve had a diagnosis from my doctor and it’s all ok. No damage to the knee joint, it’s something called a Baker’s Cyst behind the knee which my doctor believes popped on Monday causing the sudden pain. I know this is a lot of information but I thought it better to over communicate than leave you guessing as to why the class has been postponed one week.

I am confident that I will be able to guide you through a bootcamp next Thursday so here are some details for you in anticipation of our first class. Please contact me with any questions and thank you for your understanding and patience. 💗

NEW START DATE: Thursday, June 24 – Note, no class Thursday July 1

END DATE: Thursday, August 5

TIME: 5:30pm sharp

DURATION: 45 minutes

Here are a few things you should know before we get started:

COVID-19 PROTOCOLS:

• Wear a mask when we first meet at the park. (Near Humber Bay Yacht club – location map below). You may take it off once we start the class. You are not required to wear a mask during this workout but can do so if you prefer.
• Try to stay 6’ apart while we’re working out.
• If you cannot make the session, please text me 416 305-7023 minimum 24 hours in advance. This is important for contact tracing.

WHAT TO BRING

Bootcamp will not proceed in bad weather. If stormy weather is forecasted I will contact you to reschedule. Please ensure your cell number is up-to-date in your MindBody account so I can text you.

• Wear weather appropriate clothing. Wear a hat and sunscreen.
• Bring a water bottle and a mat. I will be bringing a backpack with extra water for emergencies only. 

WHAT TO EXPECT AT BOOTCAMP

• Drills, cardio, strength training and I’m planning, a whole lot of fun.
• I will be bringing equipment but if you have a resistance band, please bring that with you.
  

Please feel free to contact me with any questions about this class. I’m excited to get outside and workout with you. See you NEXT Thursday, June 24.

Hello and Happy Monday!

I’m fairly certain we are going to get the go ahead to do outdoor classes starting June 15th, so I’m going to say it – BOOTCAMP IS A GO!

Now that the weather is scorching hot, please dress in lightweight gear, bring a towel, wear a hat, sunscreen and of course, bring water and a MAT.

If you are also registered for Muscle Run I will send a separate email.

BOOTCAMP DETAILS

• Thursday, June 15 – July 29 – NO CLASS JULY 1
• See map for location
• 5:30 – 6:15pm
• If inclement weather, I’ll contact you and we’ll postpone or reschedule
• Masks are not required for outdoor workouts but if you feel more comfortable wearing one, please do so. Disposable masks are lightweight and I find it easier to breathe in.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I can’t wait to actually see you again. This has been the longest 6 months of my life!

Hello and I hope you had a lovely Easter weekend.

As you’ve heard, while Toronto barely opened for outdoor training, the province is back on lockdown, emergency brake, dark grey zone, or stay at home order unless you need to go to the mall or big box stores until April 28. 😬

Our first two classes Thursday April 15 and April 22 will be postponed and I will add them on to the end of the session. Fingers crossed this lockdown doesn’t get pushed back any further into May but I will try to keep you updated.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions and thanks for your patience and support.
