Child philosopher, yogi, liberation artist and lover; Brie is the founder of Zen Bones, a hip little yoga studio in Newmarket, Ontario. She is notorious for marching to the beat of her own drum and she doesn't subscribe to any particular style or teaching although she has been trained in Cassical Hatha and the Integral Yoga of Sri Aurobindo. Her greatest influences come from being a lifelong student of philosophy in which she has a degree from the University of Guelph. She loves to share metaphysics and mysticism in yoga and to see the transformation of consciousness but she digs the physical-anatomical-body stuff, too. She is a firm believer in yoga as therapy and though she's constantly smiling and chuckling, her intention to heal is serious and profound. Read the profile >>

Michelle is the co-owner of CrossFit Central Newmarket. I can still remember the first CrossFit workout I ever did. It was Elizabeth (21, 15, 9 Cleans and Ring dips) of course I had to modify it a bit but when I was done all I could think was “what did I just do.” I have worked out for most of my life doing body building and sport conditioning but nothing ever hit me like my first CrossFit workout. I started to research more and more about CrossFit and knew from that point on that I wanted to open my own box. Everything about CrossFit just made sense. It was not about the newest gimmick, it was real and functional. Now I am here today with my own box ready to teach and share my enthusiasm of fitness with everyone. This is truly a dream come true.

Ryan is the co-owner of CrossFit Newmarket Central. For years growing up I was always changing my ambition when it came down to what I wanted to do for a living. All of which came and went without a care. I realized years ago that no matter what I did, it had to be something that made me happy and made it easy to get up out of bed every morning. I have always been interested in exercise and was always the one going to the gym at all times of the day to get my workout in. I never contemplated the fact that I could turn my passion for exercise into a job where I could actually help people’s lives. I decided to pursue this as a career by going to Fanshawe College in London for Fitness & Health Promotion. I wanted to advance my knowledge of how the body worked as well as providing...
