FOMO — here’s what went down.

What it is, why it’s actually so much fun, and why you need to try it at least once.

Don’t take our word for it — hit play and hear it from Melissa.

Bend is 15 today.

And of course… I’m away. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Fifteen years ago I opened the doors in North Bay, Ontario with a lease, a vision, and a lot of nerve. We started as a yoga studio — just mats, music, and belief.

Since then, Bend has lived in different spaces — from North Bay to Dundas to Hamilton — evolving into the hybrid spin, fitness, and yoga studio we are today.

We’ve seen babies become teenagers.
We’ve watched careers launch and people retire.
We’ve held you through breakups, breakthroughs, injuries, comebacks, grief, and growth.

We have been a part of your lives — and you’ve been a part of mine.

15 years of sweat.
15 years of music too loud.
15 years of planks you pretended to love.
15 years of tears in savasana.

No matter the city.
No matter the format.
The heart has stayed the same.

Thank you for trusting this space.
Thank you for building it with me.

15 years.
Still strong.
Still evolving.
Still Bend. 🩵

MUSCLE LOSS STARTS IN YOUR 30s.
STRENGTH TRAINING ISN’T REHAB FOR LATER.
IT’S INSURANCE FOR NOW.

Most fitness still sells appearance.

We train for function.

At Bend the goal isn’t smaller bodies — it’s stronger humans.

Stronger bones
Stronger joints
Better balance
Less pain
Longer independence

We don’t build classes around trends or viral workouts.
We build them around what research consistently shows helps people age well and move without fear:

progressive strength
load tolerance
mobility that transfers to life
cardio for heart health
recovery so you can come back tomorrow

Every class adjusts to the people in the room — not a one-size-fits-all template.

Some days that means heavier.
Some days that means slower.
Sometimes it means learning how to get off the floor safely.

And you never do it alone.

Because adherence — the factor research shows matters most — doesn’t come from motivation.
It comes from community.

You show up because people know your name.
Because someone notices if you miss a week.
Because effort feels easier when it’s shared.

We’re not here to exhaust you.

We’re here to make you capable.

✨Thai Massage Restore ✨
Sunday Jan 25/26 • 3–4:30 pm
Only 2 spots left

People think they love this class because of the massage.

But what they really love…
is being allowed to stop.

Nothing to fix.
Nothing to solve.
Nothing to manage.

Nowhere you need to be.
Nothing you need to become.
Nothing you need to accomplish.

Just rest.
Just receive.
Just be.

SPIN WITH MERCEDES: it isn’t just a workout — it’s a whole experience.

It’s nostalgia mixed with new drops.
It’s laughter, reflection, and a little bit of “this song is for YOU.”
It’s feeling seen before class even starts… and feeling proud of yourself by the time it ends.

She teaches for the connection, the community, and the people who show up — on the good days, the hard days, and the everything-in-between days.

If you’ve never taken her class… this is your sign.

Come feel what everyone talks about.

Mercedes teaches:
Tuesday 6:45pm
Sundays 10am

WHY WE LIFT HEAVY

Our members keep messaging me saying the SAME thing:

“I love lifting heavier.”

And I’m not surprised.
Your body responds to load.
Strength feels good.
Confidence feels good.
And yes — looking good feels good too (let’s be real).

But here’s the line that hit me on a podcast the other day:

“If you aren’t lifting heavy… your bones are chalk.”

And unfortunately?
Science agrees.

The LIFTMOR study (2018) took women with LOW bone density and put them on heavy lifting — and their bone density, strength, and balance all went UP.
Injuries? Almost zero.

This isn’t just data for me… it’s personal.
My grandmother fell right before her 62nd birthday, broke her hip, and never came out of the hospital.
That kind of bone loss is preventable — but only if we start NOW.

This is why we lift at my studio.
HIIT. Barre. Strength & Stability. Yoga with Weights. Lift’d.
It’s not about being hardcore.
It’s about muscle, bone density, heart health, balance, mobility…
and feeling GOOD in your own skin.

Strong looks good on you.
And it keeps you here longer.

Save this if you need the reminder. 🖤🔥

🌿 Introducing HEAL — Movement. Massage. Release.

I’m shifting our Wednesday 5:30pm class into something that feels necessary right now — and I’m also weaving it into my Monday 7:30pm Yoga class and Friday 5pm Yoga for Anxiety class.

HEAL is yoga, massage balls, sometimes a bit of Thai work, sometimes functional strength — always tailored to who’s in the room and what your body needs that day.

Tight hips? Shoulder tension? Foot pain?
I’ll build the practice around what you bring in. And even if the focus isn’t your “spot,” the work still matters — it’s prehab. Keeping you strong, mobile, and pain-free before issues ever show up.

We’ve tested this for a few weeks and everyone loves the new format and asked for more.
So here it is. 💚

HEAL is now part of:
✨ Monday 7:30pm Yoga
✨ Wednesday 5:30pm HEAL
✨ Friday 5pm Yoga for Anxiety

Come exactly as you are — we’ll work with what’s there.
