What Do The Different Intensity Levels Mean?
My goal is to bring the joy of fitness to as many people as I can — newcomers and seasoned pros alike.
But of course, everyone is different. What’s easy for one person might be really tough for someone else, or vice versa.
So think of my four intensity levels as a general guide, not a hard-and-fast rule.
Gentle and Relaxing
These classes take place mostly on the mat; there’s very little standing, if any. Level 1 classes won’t raise your heart rate very much — perfect if you’re just starting our on your fitness journey, or for active recovery from illness or injury. These classes are great any time of day, and especially nice before bed.
Everyday Exercise
These classes are active enough to feel like exercise, but they won’t leave you drenched in sweat. Level 2 classes will get your heart rate up a bit, but after class you’ll be able to carry on with your day right away.
You're Gonna Feel It!
As the name suggests, these classes are more invigorating; you’ll probably work up a sweat and get your heart pounding. Level 3 classes usually involve total body work that can be on the challenging side. Beginners are welcome but may find things a bit intense.
Bring On The Burn!
These are my most challenging classes, and not for the faint of heart! Beginners should start with less challenging levels. You’ll work hard. You’ll sweat buckets. Your heart will pound. But in the end you’ll bask in the glow that comes after an intense session of vigorous exercise.

Technical Support
Can I do your classes on my iPad? iPhone? Computer? Television?
On-Demand Classes: as long as you have access to the internet, you can do my on-demand classes on virtually any device, at any time of day or night!
Live Classes: in addition to internet access, you’ll need to install the Zoom video conferencing app on your device. It’s free, secure and easy to use on your computer, phone, tablet or smart TV. You’ll be prompted on how to install Zoom when you join your first live class, so be sure to join at least 10 minutes early.

Class and Online Fitness questions
What equipment do I need?
In many of my classes we use equipment like dumbbells, straps and sliders. A good starting point would be:
- Dumbbells (two sets: 5 lbs. and 8 lbs.)
- Resistance band
- Sliders
Check your local fitness retailer; Canadian Tire often has dumbbells in stock. If you can’t find sliders or bands locally, you can always try Amazon.
If you don’t have any equipment, not to worry — there are lots of equipment-free options.
What if I don’t have any equipment?
I don’t have much room. How much space do I need to do the classes?
What if I don’t know the exercises?
Do I need to go barefoot or do I need shoes?
Are your classes medically safe?
My classes are not intended as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. If you have a medical emergency, call your physician or 9-1-1 immediately.
Can other people see me during your live classes?
Do you offer personal training?
Is there music for the classes?
All my on-demand classes include links to suggested playlists for Apple Music and Spotify (you may need a paid subscription to one of these services in order to play the playlist).
