“I’ve been Blitzed!” is how individuals who’ve gone through a Blitzful seminar are coined. It means that they have absorbed a lot of information in a short duration of time, but in a way that is refreshing. It’s exactly what took place last weekend as the Blitzful Crew brought the Set Up Your Summer event to Toronto.
Fitness resolutions can be difficult to start and maintain. Summer gives one major advantage- the gym is at our doorstep often basked in sun and warmth. This automatically removes one barrier to being consistent in the trek to a healthy path. Set Up Your Summer was the catalyst to the 12 week plan that will be followed throughout the summer.
There were a plethora of amazing presenters that shared their knowledge, skill, and craft with participants eager to learn how to apply the best of seasonal wellness practices spanning from beauty to exercise, from nutrition to meditation. The results were positive all around.
We have many thank you salutations to be handed out. In no particular order we want to thank:
- Derrick Butler of Clevland, OH who teamed up with Nicole Osbourne James of We Run Tings Toronto to give a humorous talk about just getting started with running. If Mr. Singh can run at 100, no excuses so can you!
- Christina and Ameedah of Belleview Beauty brought great hair, makeup and product tips that had participants eager and engaged. Hair by Glenna‘s donated gift certificate was a perfect touch.
- Kerry-Kay Bartley, certified nutritionist offered great summer foodie ideas. 60 sec or less to make a healthy snack? Doable!
- Andria Barrett, culinary nutritionist & personal trainer, introduced Omega-Three liquid shots. Who knew fish oil could taste so good?! Then enter the banana coconut squares & everyone went to heaven!
- Special thanks to Dawna Mensah and Socacize®. Pounding feet, sweating, and loving it was all the rage in the hall alive with Caribbean dance fitness.
- Shirlon Lavia kept the tastebuds and pallets engaged with a delightful lunch. Cranberries and chickpeas- oh yeah! Thank you FreshCo Midland-Lawrence: Fresher. Cheaper. And good!
- Laura James brought the tropics to East York with her sensational Tropical Smoothies!
- Shannon Legge, yoga and meditation instructor had everyone fully relaxed and restored. While St. Luke’s Anglican Church was our home away from home.
And last, but definitely not least- to all the participants, thank you for your phenomenal energy coupled with the willingness to ask questions, share concerns, and be Blitzful. You made the day come to life.
