Ever been in a class where the energy just carries you through? 🔥 That’s not luck. That’s a great instructor.

Our Group Fitness & Boot Camp Instructor course is back on October 17 & 18. It’s one weekend, and about 90% of it is spent moving, practicing and learning by doing.

💪 Cue so the whole room stays with you
🎶 Use music and choreography to build energy
🌳 Lead outdoor and boot camp classes

“My doctor told me to start exercising.” 🩺

Most people hear that as friendly advice. It’s actually part of the treatment plan.

Regular movement helps prevent and manage some of the most common chronic conditions, like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, bone loss and anxiety. That’s why more doctors are now writing exercise into their patients’ care.

Exercise doesn’t replace medication. It works alongside it. Your meds do their job, and training helps your body do its part.

That’s where great fitness professionals come in. They help people move safely and consistently, with a plan built around their health.

The most interesting thing about steroids has nothing to do with getting big.🧬

When muscle grows, it doesn’t just build bigger fibres, it adds tiny control centres inside them called myonuclei. In a well-known mouse study, testosterone boosted those myonuclei. The drug was stopped, the muscle shrank back toward normal, but some of those extra nuclei stayed, and the muscle responded more strongly to training later.

That’s part of where the idea of « muscle memory » comes from.

Big caveat: this was mice, not humans, and a few months in a mouse doesn’t translate neatly into years in a person. Nobody has shown that a short cycle hands someone a permanent edge.

And to be clear, none of this is a reason to use steroids. The health risks are real and serious. For trainers, the takeaway isn’t the shortcut, it’s understanding the science, staying in your scope of practice, and coaching real results through training, food, sleep and consistency.

Don’t make the same mistake. 👀

Becoming a personal trainer starts with Infofit, and our Fast Track programs start very soon. Don’t let this one walk right past you.

Thinking about this a little later in life? Maybe you’re in your 40s or 50s and worried it means turning everything upside down. It doesn’t. It’s never too late to start something you actually care about.

And the best part: you don’t have to leave your job to do it. We run two separate Fast Track options, so you can get certified around the life you already have:

One on weekends. One on evenings.

You pick the one that fits, keep your income, and build toward a career that excites you.

Not sure where to begin? Give us a call and we’ll walk you through it, or find everything you need on our website. Link in bio.

Some of your best progress happens while you’re fast asleep.

You can crush every single session, but if you’re running on empty, your body never gets the chance to catch up. Training is the part that breaks your muscles down. Recovery is where they come back stronger, and sleep is a massive piece of that. Skimp on it and you’re leaving results on the table, no matter how hard you grind.

And it’s more common than you’d think. In a recent US survey, over 30% of adults were getting less than seven hours a night.

In Vancouver, we all hike. Until the trail gets steep.⛰️

Here’s what catches people out: hiking hits you on two fronts at once. Your heart on the climbs, and your muscles on the uneven ground going up and down. Treat it like a casual walk and that “easy” trail turns brutal fast.

The fix is training for the trail before you’re on it. Build your legs for both climbing and descending, get your lungs used to hills, and don’t skip your upper body, because when your legs are toast deep into a hike, good posture is what keeps you steady.

And one thing people forget out here on the coast: it’s tick territory on the trails. A few simple habits keep them off you, and they’re well worth knowing before your next hike.

The full trail-ready plan, plus how to handle the ticks, is on the blog. Link in bio.

“Just don’t do it.”😅

If only it were always that easy. The real skill is knowing which movements are helping, which ones are quietly hurting, and how to actually do them right.

That’s what makes a good trainer, and it’s exactly what we teach at Infofit. You’ll learn how to spot the difference, coach proper form, and make people’s workouts safer and more effective.

Think creatine is just for getting big? That’s the number one reason people skip it, and exactly why they miss out.

Creatine helps refuel the energy your muscles run on, but that’s only half the story. It’s the most researched supplement in the world, and a lot of that research points somewhere you wouldn’t expect: your brain. Memory, focus, mental sharpness, with some of the strongest effects showing up in people who don’t eat much meat.
Size is just the part everyone talks about.

We break down what creatine really does, in and out of the gym, over on the blog. Link in bio.
