Fall is busy. Kids go back to school, people go back to work (hello, traffic)... really, everyone is trying to get back into their usual work-school-sports-extracurricular routines. With all of these moving parts, it can be easy to put your fitness routine on hold. However, fitness is SO important for health and for coping in times of high stress. So instead of putting it completely on hold, modify. An easy way to modify is to shorten your workouts. Trust us, you don’t need a

Almost one year ago today, Anne-Marie strolled into our gym, worried that she wouldn’t make it through the class because she was too out-of-shape. Though we had our doubts of her comments. Every exercise she performed with phenomenal form and grace, making it look almost too easy. Then we learned why: J'ai fait du ballet pendant plus de 20 ans. C'était mon loisir et mon sport.

And like most things in life, planning absolutely makes the changes easier to stick to, and usually saves time and money. However, some people over complicate making a meal plan so much that it’s time-consuming and frustrating to maintain. Or, some people find that jumping right into a meal plan

If you’ve been around TriForce long enough, you know that we support the K.I.S.S. principle: Keep it stupidly simple. And baking is no exception to this. In fact, we have a slew of few-ingredient delecables that you should try out here, here and here. Today’s was a positive experiment in “zero-grocery-resorting-to-pantry-reserve”. Seriously, we had NONE of the usual baking staples like flour, sugars, eggs, etc -- but we wanted something soft and sweet, and were determined. Lu

Not too many things can leave you with an ear-to-ear smile like hitting your fitness goals--- except maybe that after-workout PUMP. Shirt sleeves are suddenly tight. You need to walk wide-legged. Of course, exercise has MANY more benefits than just the aesthetic-- but it’s hard to deny the satisfaction of seeing your hard earned muscles popping. Which is why we’re dedicating our August workout to getting a serious pump. For this workout, you’ll need relatively light weights (

“Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.” -Thomas Wayne, Batman Begins (2005) If you have ever met Nicole, you would know that she embodies the above quote-- truly, we consider her the Batgirl of our Triforce family. Approximately 6 months ago, she came to us from the Roxboro community Centre’s Tai Chi program interested in our Master’s Program (a program for those 60 and over who are looking to build strength and improve endurance, flexibility and stability).
