SuyinLifts Gym

Two new classes are joining the Carling schedule next week 👀

THURSDAY | Core Foundations
Ever been told to “brace your core” and thought… okay, but how? 🤷

This class is about learning how to actually use your core - how to brace, breathe, control your trunk and build a stronger foundation for the movements you do in the gym and every day.

FRIDAY | Strength & Stability
Build strength, work on your balance and feel more confident in the way your body moves. This class combines strength work with control and stability training to help everyday movement feel a little easier - and a whole lot stronger.

Both classes are designed to help you move better, feel steadier and build strength you can actually use.

Whatttttt… an Olive Garden in Ottawa??? SINCE WHEN? 😂

Did anyone else know about this??

Okay okay - life is about balance. If you want the fettuccine Alfredo, get the fettuccine Alfredo. (extra parm - yes please 🤤)

But if you’re looking for a few menu options that still feel like an actual meal and fit your goals a little better, here are some we’d look at:

🍗 Grilled Chicken Margherita
Grilled chicken with tomatoes, mozzarella, pesto + lemon garlic sauce, with parmesan garlic broccoli.

🥩 6 oz. Sirloin
Steak + fettuccine Alfredo. Honestly, kind of the best of both worlds.

🐟 Herb-Grilled Salmon
Salmon with garlic herb butter, asparagus + a side of fettuccine Alfredo.

🍤 Shrimp Scampi
Shrimp, asparagus, tomatoes + angel hair pasta in garlic sauce. This one’s on the weekday lunch menu.

And if you want a lighter swap without ordering something boring, get your favourite pasta dish and sub the pasta for broccoli (seriously!) Chicken Alfredo is PERFECT for this! The sauce coats the broccoli so well you seriously don’t miss it 🤤

The point isn’t to make Olive Garden “healthy.”

The point is you don’t have to skip the restaurant, order plain chicken and lettuce, or feel like you “blew it” because you went out for dinner.

Pick what sounds good, make a swap if you want one, enjoy your meal and move on with your life 😂

Okay but for real… who knew this was here now and DIDN’T TELL US!? 😭

Yesterday was wild!! For a few minutes: high winds, hail, rain…
and right in the middle of it, a double rainbow.

Then a few minutes later… it was sunny again.

Kind of a good reminder that two things can be true at once.

You can be having a rough week and still have one really good hour.

You can be tired and still be proud of yourself.

You can feel like things are a bit messy and still be making progress.

The rainbow doesn’t wait for the storm to be over 🌈

Some wins deserve a permanent spot on the grid ❤️

Six months of training. A room full of nerves. A first squat that didn’t go the way she wanted.

And then she kept going.

Isabelle finished her competition with a 7.5 kg deadlift PR, a new 380 kg total, and a 3rd-place finish. 💪

But what we’re most proud of isn’t just the number on the bar.

It’s what happens in the months before a day like this.

Showing up when training feels great. Showing up when it doesn’t. Learning to trust your body. Getting stronger rep by rep. Walking into something that makes you nervous and doing it anyway.

Kyle has been coaching Isabelle for the past six months, and seeing all of that work come together on the platform was pretty special.

And she’s already looking ahead - OPA Provincials in 2027, with Nationals in PEI in her sights for 2028 👀

For now though, we’re celebrating this one.

380 kg. A new PR. A podium finish. And a whole lot to be proud of.

Congratulations, Isabelle. We can’t wait to see what you do next ❤️💪
