Hi Parents, I hope you are all well. Today is the last day of our teen fitness class (including make-up sessions). The last 8-weeks we have been filled with different styles of movements and exercises to gain a better understanding of our muscles and to strengthen our bodies!! Running outside, yoga and stretching, circuit training programs, and their favourite… fitness obstacles courses to name a few! Sadly, I will be unable to run a winter session due to a personal change in my own schedule. A program of my daughter’s has changed and wish I could be in two places at once! Very sorry for the inconvenience.
Although, teen fitness will be paused, there are a lot of great classes that KBC offers for your daughters age. It would also be great to keep the momentum going while connecting and meeting others – which I know can be hard to find at times. I wanted to include a few great programs that I recommend and think the girls would be interested in and have copied Jennifer on this email to answer any specific questions. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. I hope your teen can continue to stay active in another program. Wishing you and your teen, nothing but the best. Hope to see you again in the future!! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email or call me directly.

Good morning!
Hope all is well.
Tomorrow is the last class of our school year season! Can you believe it? They say, time flies when you’re having fun…. 😉
The girls and I decided to have a party to wrap up our last session together and to bring a small/simple snack to share among our group! There will be no workout planned for tomorrow, but will play some games. A few teens did not attend last week and did not have a chance to share food preferences/food allergies.
PLEASE DO NOT BRING ANYTHING THAT CONTAINS NUTS OR NUT BYPRODUCTS. WE ARE A NUT FREE FACILITY AND DO HAVE ALLERGIES WITHIN OUR GROUP. If your teen did not attend last week and has any other food allergies, please let me know immediately.
Looking forward to seeing your teens tomorrow. Thank you for an amazing year! We will be back again in the fall and more details will be sent out closer to August. 😊

Hi Parents,
Hope you are all enjoying the week thus far! It has been so great interacting with your teens during our fitness class each week. Your girl is simply, awesome! Each week continues to be filled with laughter, great conversation and of course a kick butt workout!
With the new update on restrictions, there are no longer capacity limitations on recreation sport facilities. This is GREAT news for us however, we are not yet completely in the clear! With continuing our existing system by sanitizing, daily screening and keeping updated with the new changes, Kingsway Boxing has been well ahead of the game from the very beginning! As much as we would love to get back to our big numbers before COVID ever existed, we have decided to gradually add in numbers for many reasons including: safety, contact tracing and allotted time for cleaning/ sanitizing.
We currently have two Teen fitness classes on the go and would love to merge both groups as this fits in perfectly for our gradual increase. The 5:15pm class is much smaller in size.
With the variety of school schedules and extra curriculum programs back in school, I wanted to connect with you all first to take a vote on the best time-slot for the whole group! We understand the new proposed times may not work for everyone so plan B will be to continue with the existing schedule with two separate groups!
TIMESLOT OPTIONS:
OPTION A: 4:30-5:30pm (will probably run to about 5:45pm)
OPTION B: 4-5pm (will probably run to about 5:15pm)
OPTION C: PLAN B – NO CHANGE TO SCHEDULE – due to other conflicts
Please take a minute to respond and confirm which option works best for you! Once I hear from the majority, I will send out more details for our new session including dates and start times! My hope is to roll right into another 10-week session through to February 2022.
Thanks in advance. Have a wonderful day!
Best,
Shyanne McPherson

We will be doing Pilates in the park, so please remind your teen to bring a yoga or Pilates mat! We will meet outside of the High Performance studio at 4pm and will walk to a nearby park. Masks will need to be worn until we arrive at our location.
Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Best,

Hi Parents,
Hope you are all well!
Next week will be the last of our current session. Time goes by SO fast when you’re drenched in sweat and having fun!
We will be setting up another 4-week session before summer officially starts from June 9th – June 30th 4-5pm (probably to 5:15pm) and this will hopefully be outdoors! We will all meet on Bloor, outside of the high performance studio and will find a local park to do our workout each week. You will receive more details on location when you register.
Please find below the link to register! We will be sending this out to everyone in a newsletter but have given you all the link first so your daughter(s) has priority. We can only have 9 teens max due to COVID restrictions. The link will be sent out to everyone tomorrow. Please let me know if you have any trouble signing up!

Hope to see your daughter (in-person) soon!

Hi Parents,
Hope you had a great weekend.
As I am sure this email is no surprise to you…due to the stay at home order, our scheduled outdoor classes have been cancelled. We will be hopping back online and will wait until we can meet up in person once again. Sorry for all of the back and forth but do hope this will be the last of it.
Our zoom link will be created today and will send all of the details shortly. We appreciate you all being so understanding and patient!
Have a great one,

Hi Parents,
Happy Monday!
Since we are on yet another lockdown… things have changed slightly however are still allowed to get outside and exercise.
This has also been listed in the City of Toronto website. Outdoor gatherings: Outdoor organized public events and social gatherings where physical distancing can be maintained are limited to 5 people or fewer. https://www.toronto.ca/home/covid-19/covid-19-reopening-recovery-rebuild/covid-19-guide-for-toronto-residents/
We are still planning on running our sessions outside but will no longer be using any equipment and have restricted our numbers to only our previously registered participants until restrictions on numbers are allowed to open up. We will social distance at all times and for those who want to wear a mask, certainly can (it is recommended but not mandatory). We will have access to use the washrooms at the High Performance studio before and after class but we ask that the girls come dressed as they are to maximize our fitness class time! You can register here.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to connect with Jen and I directly!
Have a great week, looking forward to seeing the girls soon.

Hi Parents,
Hope you are well.
Next week will be the last week of our virtual Teen fitness class (hopefully for good).
I will be taking a few weeks off to take care of some personal family matters but will resume with our Spring session after the “new march break”. Since the weather will be nicer, I hope by then to be outdoors around the Kingsway studio or indoor with all of the required COVID procedures. Rain our shine, we will be there!
We are in the process of setting up this new Spring Session starting April 21st – May 26th. Once registration is set up, I will email you all of the details on how to register.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to connect with Jen or myself!
Have a great day.

Hi Parents,
Happy new year! Hope you are all doing well and staying safe.
I was hoping this email was about returning to in-person classes but as you know the city continues to extend the lockdown.
I have connected with a few of the girls over the past couple of days and some of them have voiced to do something virtual. We had a really great dynamic that we all miss and of course created a positive environment for the girls to feel comfortable to express their feelings and thoughts.
Would you parents be interested in your daughter joining a 6-week virtual teen fitness class? Aiming for every Wednesday from 4-5:15pm. If we have enough people interested, we will finalize all the registration details and confirm start dates, time, price etc.
Looking forward to hearing what you think!
Best,
Shyanne

Hi P4T parents,
Hope you and the girls are well.
The government has come out with an updated legislation and outdoor fitness is no longer permitted. I wish I had better news for you and the girls but effective immediately our Wednesday classes are finished until the new year.
A credit will be applied for the 3 remaining sessions and can be used for our winter session in the new year. Class start dates are TBA until we figure out when we can return back to the studio – I will send another email out closer to January with more information.
I wish you and your family a wonderful Merry Christmas and a lovely New Year! Already looking forward to seeing the girls then.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to connect with us via email or with me directly (cell number is below).
Keep smiling, keep moving and keep being you!
Best,

Hi parents,
Hope you had a great weekend.
The high performance studio has started to get busier with other classes being added in the other rooms in addition to ours.
The girls and I often like to take our time to chat either before or after our workouts and didn’t want to ruin/rush that.
So, I wanted to connect to see if everyone would be open and available to starting our classes a bit earlier? Our new proposed class time would be from 3:45pm – 5pm.
Please let me know if this works for you! We understand schools end at slightly different times. I will send another email out to confirm our start time once I have heard from everyone. 🙂 Thank you!

Hi everyone!
If the weather continues to hold up today, we will be heading to Tom Riley park for Zumba!
If the girls can stay about 10-15 minutes later today to get a full Zumba class in that would be great! If not, please let me know and we will be sure to be back before 5pm.

Hi Power4Teens Parents,
Hope you are well.
Last week, we did Zumba in the park which was a great success and was voted to do it again this week. If the weather holds up, we will meet outside of the High Performance studio until 4:05pm and will walk over (as our warm up) to Tom Riley Park. The girls wanted to do a longer workout once they realized the time to walk there and back. I wanted to ask if everyone was okay if our program went to 5:15pm for this week? If this does not work for you, please let me know at your earliest convenience.
If your daughter is running late, please tell her to text me so we can wait for her at the studio!
Rain date: October 7th 2020.
Thanks everyone, see you Wednesday!

Good Morning Parents,
I wanted to send a special note to let you know how much I enjoyed meeting and working with the girls on Wednesday. While it was unfortunate that Shyanne was unwell, this gave me an opportunity to see how incredible this group of young women are!
I’ll be heading to Istanbul, Turkey for the World Championships next week, but if Shyanne will have me back I can’t wait to make a special appearance next session to work with them all again! Here’s a little info on the event: Record-breaking 84 nations registered to attend the IBA Women’s World Boxing Championships
The next session is online, let me know if you would like me to register the girls or you can use the link below.
Thank you again for the opportunity and please let the girls know how honoured I was!
In The Meantime, Keep Your Hands Up… And Clean! 👊
Best Regards,
Jennifer Huggins
