Motivation Fitness
Why Choose THIS Bootcamp over all the others?If you are looking to tone up and lose weight, you have sooo many options available to you. The idea of a ”bootcamp” is to work with a Personal Trainer at a fraction of the cost, and to have someone to motivate you to meet your goals!I have instructed for a couple of the high profile Bootcamp companies. I found many of them put too many into a class.I am a Personal Trainer. My passion is to get to know my clients strengths and weaknesses and help them achieve their goals. When I was handed a class of 25 I rarely had the opportunity to get to know the names of my participants let alone get to know their individual goals.That was when I decided to start my own Bootcamp. A bootcamp that could deliver tougher and more advanced drills because the Trainer has 12 or less in a class.
So…… Motivation Fitness offers you:
Lower class numbers for more individual attention
More advanced drills delivered in a safer environment
More attention to your needs and goals
Certified Insured Fitness Professionals
the same (or less) than you would pay elsewhere
What Programs are offered?
Bootcamp
The class is one hour long and you attend twice per week. The structure incorporates dynamic conditioning (plyometrics, cardio, agility drills etc) and resistance in the form of squats, lunges, pushups. We try to make it as fun as possible using drills and obstacle courses. Part of the motivation is from your Trainer and the other part is from your peers.
Stroller Fit
This program is structured to give parents a good workout with a baby and stroller in tow! We take the bootcamp elements and format them into a stroller friendly program. So instead of drills we use the paths and sidewalks to get our workout. We keep the class moving as much as possible so that by the end of the hour the baby thinks he or she just enjoyed an hour long walk in the fresh air. Of course we recite some nursery rhymes and children’s songs during the workout too to help keep the little ones enjoying every minute.
Bridal Bootcamp/Private Bootcamp
We also offer private programs for those with upcoming events such as weddings, proms, reunions or just for groups of friends that want to get in shape together. There is nothing better than having the support of family and friends while getting healthy and fit side by side!

Spa Sisters - line of bath & body products
Spa Sisters
Not your typical ‘green’ line of bath & body products, we design a luxury line of oh-so-pretty products that are made with pure and natural ingredients. From luxurious soufflé scrubs, lip butters, whipped body meringues to cocoa butter tub truffles, we’ve got something for everyone, from the hippest mamas to the youngest babes. We carefully select fair trade ingredients and whip up batches of these delectable little treats - all by hand! We don't think you should have to sacrifice style just to be 'green', so you'll notice that our products are hip and swanky looking, but still great for your skin and our environment!
And of course, all our products are:
SLS and SLES free
Paraben free
FDC colour/artificial dye free
Petroleum product free
Not tested on animals
Knowing that what you put on your body is easily absorbed through the skin – the body’s largest organ – it only makes sense to know exactly what you’re using, especially on your babes. Our baby line is super gentle and made with pure and simple ingredients that are 100% natural & organic.
Want some? There are a few ways to get your hands (and body!) on Spa Sisters products. You can order online at http://www.spasisters.ca/ or you can invite a few friends over for a girls’ night and indulge in a spa party. To celebrate moms and all that you do, order online during the month of May and save 10% using the promo code MOM when you checkout.

Oakville Moms Review:
I feel that the sisters from Spa Sisters spoiled me when they sent their products for me to try out. It felt like the Spa came to my home! Each of their products are beautifully packaged and presented. Having learned so much the last couple of years from being a mom, I am so aware of product ingredients, especially when it comes to products for my children. I am all for eco-friendly and green products and this is something that the Spa Sisters deliver.
I am now addicted to the pomegranate berry body meringue. I absolutely love the scent and feel of this body meringue. It is so smooth and easily absorbs well. Whether you have dry skin or not, you can't go wrong with the body meringue.
The organic shea butter is a great product if you or your child suffer from eczema, minor irritations and dry skin. It is a rich moisturizer containing pure jojoba oil and vitamin e. I use this for my knees and elbows.
The bum balm is a must have for your babies bottom. This product has 100% natural ingredients and contains no zinc.It's gentle and effective in relieving your babies bum rashes. Spa Sisters also make their own artisan soap by hand.
I had a chance to try out the rosemary mint artisan soap. I love the scent and it is more refreshing than the common soap.
My kids had a great time making bubbles with the mandarin bubble bath. It has a yummy scent and it's biodegradable. This product doesn't have any SLS, SLES, synthetic fragrances or artificial colours. It is a great option to consider if your little one has sensitive skin.
Overall I am very impressed with Spa Sisters products. They create a line of spa products that are 100% natural and organic ingredients, suitable for anyone in your family. Check out their site to find out what products meet your needs. You can win one of two certificates from Spa Sisters this month by entering our contest. more>>

Just Add Heat- WHAT'S FOR DINNER
Just Add Heat- WHAT'S FOR DINNER?
By 4pm on any given day, many families do not know the answer to that question. We all need to eat and we all want to make the best food choices, so why not stock your freezer with a variety of delicious wholesome meals? The award winning Just Add Heat at Ford Drive and Cornwall provides a solution to this age old dilemma. They provide a wide range of meal selections - 16 new choices each month - and most of their meals are available in portion sizes for two, four, or six people. You can make an appointment in their professional style kitchen and assemble your own meals, customizing the recipes to your family's likes and dislikes, or if you're really strapped for time, let their staff assemble your meals for no extra charge. Just Add Heat meals are affordable, easy to prepare, and they certainly spice up your family's meal repertoire. Anyone can make meals like "Pork Roast with Balsamic Fig Glaze", "Prosciutto Wrapped Chicken with Mushrooms", "Shrimp & Pea Risotto" and so much more. A home cooked meal with your whole family seated together should not be a special occasion.
Just Add Heat recently expanded to include Kafene, a gourmet coffee shop with espresso based coffees, grilled panini, soup, breakfast sandwiches, homemade muffins, pastries, and more. Drop by Kafene, either before or after your assembly sessions for a snack! Both Just Add Heat and Kafene are open daily.
Host a private session with 4-8 friends and receive a $20 Just Add Heat gift card (to be used towards a future purchase) for each new person you refer! And your friends will receive a 25% discount as first timers. You may take the referral gift card OR the 25% discount if this is also your first online order.
SPECIAL OFFER: Oakville Moms subscribers receive a 25% discount on first time online bookings for a session or pick up order. If this is your first online order, use promo code P9E228 to get your 25% discount.

This month's review: Blo: Blow Dry Bar
Blo: Blow Dry Bar
Blo is a Blow Dry Bar. Scissors are verboten. Dye, ditto. For around 30 dollars, in about 30 minutes, get a wash and blow out style. No cuts, no colour: Just WASH BLOW GO. Clients — also known as “Hair Cadets” — choose from 7 styles featured in the Blo Hair Menu, from the sexy razor-straight “Executive Sweet” to the rocker-chic inspired “Sex, Hugs and Rock & Roll”. Double-click to blomedry.com for the skinny.
6 locations to serve you:
Yaletown, South Granville, Four Seasons Vancouver, Yonge Street, Four Seasons Toronto and Oakville (107 Thomas Street, Tel: 905-845-2568)
Oakville Moms Review:
When was the last time you've had some "ME" time? Are you always busy with your child(ren) and no time to fix your hair? Then Blo is your destination and you only need 30 min to spare. Blo is a Blow Dry Bar which is first to market no cuts, no colour concept in North America. Select from 7 hot styles, the cost is about $30 and 30 min later you are out with a sexy hairstyle. I was so excited to check out Oakville's Blo Blow Dry Bar and I was impressed with the stylish set-up. Great decor! I was offered a drink (choice of bottled water or vitamin water), and they have a friendly staff. My hair was washed and then I selected the "HollyWould" style. I had plans that day to go out with my husband and I couldn't wait to see how it turned out. They only used a dryer and a round brush to style my hair. Blo stylist was so great and before I knew it I was ready to leave Blo. My hair looked amazing and so curly. It was truly a different experience for me and I was very happy with the end result. If you need some "ME" time or need to have your hair done before an outing, Blo Blow Dry Bar is an option for you. Can't wait to go there again!

This month's review: Sugarloaf Artisanal Soaps
Sugarloaf Artisanal Soaps are lovingly handmade in small batches using the time honoured, traditional cold process method. All natural fair trade botanical oils and emollients are used and chosen for their ability to effectively clean and condition skin without stripping of natural oils and without leaving behind a film. It doesn't stop at being the best thing for your skin - these soaps are also kinder to the environment by being phosphate free; detergent free; and sulphate free. There is little to no waste compared to liquid soaps that need to be stored in plastic. Also, being 100% biodegradable, they are safe for lakes and rivers.Even if you already use a commercial bar for sensitive skin or for babies you will be pleasantly surprised at how these soaps lather, clean and condition. Feel your skin again! Tested on finicky humans only.

Oakville Moms Review:
Last month I was searching for something different to try and I had the pleasure of coming across Sugarloaf Artisanal Soaps. I've never tried homemade soaps and I was so pleasantly surprised by the amazing scents I had to choose from. Sugarloaf Artisanal Soaps evens offers samples to try before you commit to a larger order. Sugarloaf Artisanal Soaps cleans and conditions GENTLY without detergents, phosphates, or sulphates. Some gentle scents for babies and children are: Ultra Mild Lavendar & Chamomile and Baby Yourself. My favs right now are Cucumber/ Melon, Pink Sugar and Gingered Green Fig. Every time I check out Sugarloaf Artisanal Soaps there are new soaps curing on the rack. I been using the different soaps for baths, washing my hands and my face and they are really gentle and mild. The soaps add a wonderful scent to my bathrooms as well. If you want to treat yourself or someone special, definitely check out Sugarloaf Artisanal Soaps, you will be addicted to their yummy soaps!

Norwex
Norwex
You are invited to join a revolution in cleaning with Norwex Enviro Products! Celebrating 10 years in Canada, Norwex offers a range of green cleaning products that will help you to significantly reduce the amount of chemical cleaner you use to keep your home and workplace clean.
Household Dangers
Just how important is it to stop using the majority of household chemical cleaners? Just check out these statistics:
“According to the Consumer Protection Agency, 150 chemicals found in the home are connected to allergies, birth defects, cancer and psychological disorders.”
How about this one??
“Out of 2 435 pesticide poisonings in a one-year period, over 40% were due to exposure to disinfectants and similar cleaning products in the home.” (Source:State of California Study)
Antibacterial Microfiber
The Norwex Antibacterial microfiber cleaning cloths are the most innovative in the industry, allowing you to remove 99.9% of dirt and bacteria from all surfaces using only water... no chemicals required!
Our flagship product, the Enviro Cloth removes dust, dirt and grease from all washable surfaces, while preventing the transfer of germs to your hands, and cross-contamination between surfaces. Use it dry for dusting, or damp for cleaning walls, tiles, bathtubs, counters, metal surfaces, car interiors, etc.The Antibac Window Polishing Cloth allows you to clean your windows, mirrors, jewelry, and shiny surfaces with water alone. No more glass cleaners needed!To view the complete product line, visit www.cleaningqueen.net. This full E-Commerce site offers shipping straight to your door for the low price of $4.95, no matter the size of your order!”
It’s not an exaggeration when we say that people can save money and time when they use Norwex Enviro Products.
It’s estimated that the average household will spend as much as $500 annually on cleaning products. When you make the switch to Norwex Enviro Products, you’ll spend half that amount, while reducing your cleaning time by about 75%!
How is this possible? Well, the microfiber does such a good job of cleaning grime from surfaces, that counters, floors, etc. literally don’t get dirty as quickly, and they clean up much faster. And, you are no longer using mountains of paper towels, various bottles of chemical cleaners, etc.
Products for Every Room of the House
Norwex Enviro Products offers cleaning solutions for all areas of the house, including the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room. We have odour eliminator sprays, floor washing systems, stain removers… even stuff for the car!

Just Add Heat is a busy family’s best friend. Anyone can come to our professional style kitchen and assemble up to 12 freezer friendly delicious meals in record time. We do the menu planning, grocery shopping, chopping, dicing, and clean up. Choose from 16 mouth watering meal choices each month, select a time to come in to prepare them, then fill up your freezer with wholesome, tasty dinners. It’s a great opportunity to add new meals to your repertoire – and no more wasted food! For those who don’t have time to assemble their own meals, or who simply don’t want to, we also have a Done Like Dinner® service where we will assemble the meals for pick up - at no extra charge.
Many of our regular customers book monthly private sessions with their friends. It’s a great excuse to get out for a social event, and everyone goes home with a wonderful variety of homemade meals.

Oakville Moms Review:Are you a busy mom and sometimes need a break when it comes to cooking dinner? Then Just Add Heat is the place for you. Just Add Heat is a food service providing you meals that are ready to cook with minimal preparation time. Each month they change their menu, choose from 16 different meals. Portions come in 2, 4, 6 servings. You can book your session and go in yourself to assemble your meals or order online and they will prepare your meals for you at no extra cost.
I had the pleasure of trying a few different meals: Chicken Pesto Lasagna; Creamy Sweet Potato Soup (Vegetarian); Mojo Beef Stir Fry. Just Add Heat was very generous and I couldn't wait to try them all! It was just nice to know I had meals ready in my freezer. All I had to do is add heat and it was ready for my family. This really helped me out after having a long and tiring day with the kids!!! Each meal comes well packaged and with easy instructions to follow. They also include ingredients and nutritional facts.
If you are tight on time for dinner meals and want to have a few meals ready on the go, considering checking out Just Add Heat. They provide tasty meals and a great service. Check them out at: www.justaddheat.ca.

H1N1 vaccine now available to adults over 65 and children and youth through Halton Region clinics and physician offices
Starting today, the Halton Region Health Department H1N1 immunization clinics will begin offering H1N1 immunizations to individuals who are 65 years of age or older, along with children and youth five to 18 years old. Residents are encouraged to contact their physician’s office to see if the vaccine is available there.
In addition, the Region is opening a fifth immunization clinic at Mainway Arena and Community Centre in Burlington on Friday, November 13, and will offer two clinic locations over the weekend (Nov 14-15), instead of just one.
The two clinics open on the weekend will be the Halton Regional Centre, Oakville and Gary Allan High School, Burlington.
Individuals between the ages of 18-65 who do not have a chronic health condition are asked to please be patient and wait for the H1N1 immunization clinics to open to the general public–likely at the end of this month.
For pregnant women who chose to wait for the unadjuvanted vaccine, it continues to be available only at the Oakville clinic.
Depending on the supply of vaccine, clinics locations and hours may change next week. Please continue to check our website at http://www.halton.ca/ or dial 311 for updates.

Sharkey's Cuts for Kids - Oakville
Hello everyone!
We're excited to announce our upcoming "Sharkey's CARES for Kids" charity event. Women's Shelters are charities that we are both very passionate about and we'd like to thank you in advance for taking the time to read this newsletter.

We are raising money for many local children who have had their lives pulled out from under them during the Holiday Season. It may not have been a great life, but it was their life. That is a lot for a child to go through - not to mention potentially losing their Holidays at the same time.
So please, save the date and come join us!November 16-22, 2009For more information, click HERE
Looking forward to seeing you!
