Cristini Athletics Markham

Back-to-school season is officially here, Markham! As the kids get back into their sports and school routines, it’s the best time to build healthy habits for the whole family. Whether your athlete wants to stay strong for their sports season or you’re looking to get back into your own routine, we’re here to help you start strong without the stress.

You’ve been meaning to start.

Maybe your doctor has told you that you need to become more active. Maybe you’ve tried exercising before, but the pace was too fast, the environment felt intimidating, or you simply didn’t know what to do.

That’s exactly why we created Strong Start.

This beginner-friendly strength-training program is designed for people who want to get stronger but need a slower, more supportive place to begin.

Over eight weeks, Coach Maryam will help you:

✅ Learn the foundations of strength training
✅ Exercise safely and with proper technique
✅ Build strength for everyday life
✅ Gain confidence in the gym
✅ Create a routine you can actually maintain

No pressure. No judgment. No experience required.

Just a small, supportive group of six people learning how to move, exercise, and get stronger—one step at a time.

📅 September 16–November 4
⏰ Wednesdays from 7:00–8:00 p.m.
👥 Only six spots available

You don’t need to be fit to start. You just need the right place to begin.

🚨 BULLETPROOF IS BACK IN MARKHAM 🚨

Both Bulletproof Your Hips and Bulletproof Your Shoulders are returning this September for another 6-week series.

BULLETPROOF YOUR HIPS
📅 Starts Saturday, Sept. 12
⏰ 10:00 AM

BULLETPROOF YOUR SHOULDERS
📅 Starts Tuesday, Sept. 15
⏰ 5:00 PM

These programs are designed to help you do more than just “stretch more.” Over six weeks, we’ll work on improving mobility, stability, strength, control, and movement quality so your joints can move better and handle more.

The goal is to help you:

✅ Improve your hip or shoulder range of motion
✅ Build strength through the ranges you already have
✅ Improve stability and control around the joint
✅ Address common weaknesses and restrictions
✅ Move better during squats, presses, pulls, Olympic lifts and everyday activity
✅ Reduce those nagging areas that always seem to tighten up or flare up
✅ Learn simple homework exercises you can continue using long after the program ends

And if you’ve already done Bulletproof before but haven’t kept up with the homework lately… come back. 👊

Sometimes you don’t need something completely new — you just need to revisit the work, clean up your technique, and rebuild the consistency that had you feeling better in the first place.

First time or returning participant, everyone is welcome.

Spots are limited. DM us to reserve yours or click the link in bio to register.

If you’re looking into HYROX, here’s a major tip for your first time: Treat those 1km runs as your chance to recover, not a race. Sprinting feels fast, but finding a nice, steady jogging pace helps you bring your heart rate down. That way, you’ve got energy left to tackle the functional stations without feeling gassed. It’s about pacing, not just power!
