Carolyn first heard about LiquidGym 2 years ago and liked the idea of exercising in the water. One year ago, her doctor suggested that she try out LG. You see, Carolyn has osteoarthritis in her knees, feet, and back. She finds walking painful as a result, so her walking was greatly restricted. The lack of activity and exercise has caused muscle weakness. And the pain has caused her to rely on painkillers more than she would like. This past Christmas, her daughter gave her a gift card to LiquidGym. She decided it was finally time to pay us a visit. Carolyn joined LG 6 weeks ago, starting with twice weekly workouts on the underwater treadmills and bikes. Within 2 weeks, she noticed that her pain was going away, so she decided to increase her visits to 3 times a week. She said she hasn't had to take painkillers for 2 weeks now. And last week's record-breaking snowstorm was no problem for her. In the past, her children have discouraged her from shovelling snow because of her osteoarthritis. Tuesday night, she shovelled for 15 minutes and felt fine afterwards. So Wednesday morning, she shovelled for 30 minutes; again, with no pain. She calls LiquidGym "life changing; I'm so excited that I want to tell everybody." And she does: as I was conducting an orientation last week, she told the newcomers about how wonderful LG is. Thank you, Carolyn!

Which Type of Exercise Is Best for the Brain?

Want to grow new brain cells? Improve learning and memory? New research suggests that running may be your best option. I don't know about you, but I'm not one for running in 50 cm of snow. That's why a run on one of LiquidGym's underwater treadmills is on my to-do list today. Don't forget: anyone can book a free 30-minute orientation. The run will help you remember that ;) http://well.blogs.nytimes.com/2016/02/17/which-type-of-exercise-is-best-for-the-brain/?smid=fb-share&_r=2

Phew! It's finally stopped snowing, but not before we broke the record for most snowfall in one day: 49 cm. That's over 19 inches for our American friends. It's going to take time and patience to clear it all. Remember to stay safe when you're shovelling: lift with your knees not your back, and if you have a heart condition maybe have someone else do the heavy lifting. #snowfallrecord #winterinottawa #stormof2016

It’s the lead-up to Valentines Day, and you know what that means: flower and chocolate shops are doing a booming business. But you don’t need to wait until February 14th to show that special someone how much you care. Date night can happen any day you choose. If you really want to wow them with a unique date night, why not book the two of you at side-by-side underwater treadmills? Give them - and yourself - the gift of wellness. What better way to show your love than to exercise together - it’s a proclamation that you want to be together for the long haul. #LiquidGym #DateNight #traintogetherstaytogether #exercise #fitness #traintogether #fitcouples #workout #fitnesscouple #partnerworkout #love #couplesthatworkouttogetherstaytogether #coupleworkouts #happiness #fitcouple #valentinesday #inspiration #fitnessmotivation #healthylifestyle #couplesworkout #underwatertreadmill #hydrotraining #ottawafitness
