Island Strength + Movement

08/27/2026

Announcement for Saturday’s Strength Training at Heaven on Earth Animal Retirement Sanctuary. Due to the rain arriving just prior to work out we have decided to postpone this event for spring. Muddy pastures could be fun, but it also might not be😂

And if you missed our epic animal yoga class a few weeks ago at the Sanctuary with Cassedy O'Neill, check out the video!

This class is designed to build strength, speed, and coordination for kids and teens aged 10-18. Through fun, dynamic exercises that focus on agility drills, bodyweight movements, and strength training, participants will enhance their overall athleticism, whether they are looking to improve performance in sports or just stay active and fit. Classes include a mix of cardio, resistance training, plyometrics, and flexibility work to ensure well-rounded development.

5 pounds of muscle and 5 pounds of fat weigh exactly the same—but they look very different on your body.

That’s why the number on the scale doesn’t tell the whole story. Building lean muscle helps you:

• Burn more calories at rest
• Increase strength and energy
• Support healthy bones and joints
• Improve blood-sugar control and metabolism
• Protect your independence as you age
• Create a stronger, more toned physique

Let us help you improve your body composition in four simple steps:

1. Book a free No Sweat Intro so we can learn about you and your goals.
2. Complete an InBody body-composition assessment to see what’s really happening inside your body.
3. Meet with for a nutrition and fitness consultation and receive a customized plan that fits your goals and lifestyle.
4. Follow the plan, get the support you need, and watch your body change.

One thing the fair taught us: our members and community LOVE a challenge!

Starting September 1, we’re rolling out a new Island Strength Challenge every month—something fun, motivating, and effective at helping you get stronger and healthier.

First up: THE DEAD HANG CHALLENGE!

Dead hangs are a simple but powerful way to:

• Strengthen your grip and forearms
• Build upper-body and shoulder strength
• Improve shoulder mobility and stability
• Engage your core and back
• Create a gentle stretch through your upper body and spine
• Track your functional strength as you age

Our leaderboard goes up September 1! Prizes will be awarded for the longest hangs in four divisions:

• Men
• Women
• Seniors
• Youth

Start with your baseline, practice throughout September, and see how much you can improve.

How long can YOU hang?
