Hi Everyone!

Some of you may know I'm going through training right now to be a volunteer with Kingston Gets Active so I can help spread the news about the importnace of people getting their buns off of the couch! During my training they showed us a really great video about the the scientifically proven effects of excerise. So now I'm passing this video on to you as homework! Yay homework!

Its actually only a few minutes long (I think 9 minutes maybe) but definitely worth watching. And if nothing else it will show you some mind blowing statistics!

Don't Quit!

Under Construction: The Floor is In!

Hello!

 

 

I'm happy to say that all of the painting is done and the flooring is installed! The first picture here shows the 3 huge piles of tile we started with. And the second shows the finished (but dusty) product.

 

 

 

 

 

We are so happy with how it tuned out and our equipment is coming today! So it looks like we will be ready to train out awesome clients next week.

 

Stay tuned for more updates about the business and hopefully new recipes in the next few days.

 

Stay Healthy!

The Time is Here!

Hello Everyone!

I have some sad but exciting news! After over two and a half years at a large commercial gym I've decided to go out on my own! I will miss all of my coworkers and all of the amazing members that made my job so fun. But it is time for me to move on to bigger and better things. What is this bigger and better thing you ask? Why its Compass Fitness my own little training studio! Its a project that I've been thinking about doing for years and have finally got the plan and the financing I need to make a go of it. And I am so excited to open the doors!

For the next two weeks or so I'm going to be posting pictures on facebook of our transformation from an empty undecorated unit in to our beautiful training studio. Find us (and like us) on facebook: Compass Fitness Kingston.

And I'd also like to invite you to check out my new website www.compassfitnesskingston.com its just in its beginning stages but its got some great content including success stories, details about our services, links to great resources and lots of information about the company and our philosophies.

Healthy Cheesecake? Yes!

Hello Everyone!

Long time no post I know! I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter weekend. This Easter I set out to make a healthy but delicious cheesecake. It took some research and finger crossing but I think I got it! So here it is: Greek Yogurt Cheesecakes


Ingredients:
Creamy Part
1 1/2 Cups Coconut Greek Yogurt (or vanilla)
1/2 Cup Light Cream Cheese
2 Eggs
1 Tbsp Corn Starch

Crusty Part
1 Cup Graham Crumbs
1 Cup Oatmeal (not instant)
3-4 Tbsp Butter or margarine
3-4 Tbsp Almond Milk
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar

Directions:
1. Preheat over to 350*F
2. In food processor (or by hand) blend all creamy ingredients then process (blend) all of the crusty ingredients.
3. Press the crust in to a spring form pan, then poor the creamy part on top
4. Bake at 350*F for approximately 45 mins or until almost set in the middle
5. Cool the cheese cake then cover with fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey or if your a choco-holic like me a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
6. Enjoy!

Give it a try and see what you think!
Andrea :)
