Women's 6-Week Strength Training Clinic
If you are fairly new to lifting or are interested in learning how to lift and follow a program, this clinic was designed with you in mind. In this clinic you will learn about the importance of building muscle mass for the purpose of slowing down the aging process, preventing chronic disease associated with aging as well as achieving long term health. Of course, you will also learn proper lifting technique, how to fuel your muscle growth and how to constructively measure progress without a scale.
Our clinics are currently offered at the Training Foundation located at Unit B, 101 Fisher Street, Okotoks, Alberta.

At the Functional Health Initiative we strive to educate women about the importance of developing and/or maintaining a healthy body composition; one that focuses on muscle mass and bone density.
We want women to stop focusing on the scale and start focusing on building muscle mass, maintaining bone density and improving body composition to ensure physical resilience with age.
Women's Hormone Support
Perimenopause and the early stages of menopause are considered to be a critical window for women's health. This is a sensitive period of time during which small health problems, if left unaddressed, can amplify into larger more permanent health problems down the road. Entering a state of physiological flux makes us vulnerable to the onset of new health conditions.
Fortunately, this "tipping point" is also considered a "window of opportunity" for prevention. When we understand how our body is adjusting to this physiological flux, we provide ourselves with the opportunity to make appropriate lifestyle adjustments and help to ensure we continue to remain resilient and disease free.
