We got you! And as of November 14, we are launching a brand-new class schedule with a larger studio, unlimited class memberships, expanded classes, and our biggest class schedule ever!

Workout your Way and win prizes from Glow this April 1 - 30.

How much does the challenge cost?
This challenge is FREE to join for all Glow members.

When does it start?
It starts on Thursday, April 1, 2021.

What workouts are counted?
Gym workouts at Glow, attending Glow classes, home workouts, outdoor workouts, and virtual workouts all count towards your 30 days of workouts!

What if I miss a day?
Then you can double up your workouts the next day. But you can't miss 2 days in a row if you want to qualify for prizes.

How do you track our workouts?

• If you workout at Glow, please mark an X next to your name on our Challenge poster in the change room after your workout.
• If you attend a Glow class, please take a picture of yourself at class and tag us on instagram using "@glowfitnessforwomen" and "#Glow30days" so we can see it and put an X next to your name on our poster.
• If you workout virtually, or from home, or go for an outdoor workout, take a picture and share it on Instagram using "@glowfitnessforwomen" and "#Glow30days" so we can see it and put an X next to your name on our poster.

What if I don't have Instagram?

• If you are working out at Glow, no need for Instagram, just track on our workouts poster
• If you workout at classes, virtually, outdoors or from home, then you can post your picture on Facebook instead by sharing it to our Facebook page, or you can send it directly to us on Facebook Messenger, Instagram messenger, or email - then we will mark your workout off for the day on the poster.

What kind of prizes will there be to win?
The price range of the prizes will range from $10 - $150, and there will be several prize draws at the end of the month.

I have hardly worked out during the pandemic! I don't know if I can do 30 days of worktouts in a row.
You can! This Challenge can be as easy or as intense as you choose to make it.
All we ask is that you share how you moved for 30 minutes with us every day.
The level of workout is up to you - if a brisk walk around the neighbourhood is more than you were doing before - then that counts as your workout.

Think of it as 30 days of MOVEMENT.

Why Should I do this Challenge?
It’s FREE and besides the amazing benefits of moving your body for 30 minutes each day; gain muscle, improve circulation, boost energy, improve mood, regulate digestion, better sleep, and so many more-you can win fun prizes as well!
Join The Glow Team as we participate in this challenge too.
Everyone who does the 30 days will be entered to win!

What if I have more questions?
Please email us here!

On Friday, February 12 gyms in Manitoba were allowed to reopen.
Glow Fitness for Women was delighted to be back in the gym.
"Our goal with our Covid procedures was to make them so seamless and integrated that you don't have to think about it. We want our members to be able to come to Glow, get moving, and get their mind off pandemic stress while they are here. It only takes one session to notice the effect on your wellbeing." says Katie Hartle, owner of Glow Fitness.
Covid protocals are integrated - tracking and surveillance systems are built into the gym's software.
The air is kept fresh with an hvac system that pipes fresh air into the space from outside.
Distancing measures and cleaning are woven into the updated experience.
Hartle notes that getting everyone moving in one direction is nothing new at Glow, as they have a circuit of strength machines and cardio setup, "Everyone moves in one direction already!" 
Being a 24/7 facility allows their members to come anytime, allowing traffic to space out.
Members typically spend 30 minutes to 60 minutes at Glow, either on a treadmill, doing the strength machines in the circuit, stretching, or yoga.
The hydraulic-based strength machines are time-saving, two sets of opposite muscle groups can be strengthened at once, and a full-body circuit session takes 30 minutes.
"Our members come and get their workouts in and out very efficiently, which helps keep our 25%  capacity rules met." says Hartle.

And for those who can't come back to the gym yet?
"We have a program we call, "Virtual Glow." We film from our yoga room. We have live classes with our instructors on Zoom - and yes - we offer tech support!"
The Virtual Glow program includes a gentle pilates, a faster-paced 30 minute "home circuit", meditation, and a variety of yogas. Everything is designed for all-levels, and beginner friendly. 
Glow members who don't wish to attend the Virtual program or the gym can also choose to freeze their memberships until they are ready to resume their workouts.
​

We will be reopening the gym on Tuesday, July 21, adhering to all current government restrictions.
Check back here to find out more information about workouts and signing up during these restrictions. 
While we cannot be open 24 hours yet - due to restrictions - we will have amended staffed hours until we can.
As soon as we are able to return to 24/7 - we will!
At this time, we expect to be open under the following staffed hours:
(This might be updated - check back here or check your email for the latest information!)
Temporary staffed hours:

• 6 a.m. - 2 p.m.
• ​6 p.m. - 11 p.m.

Yoga at Glow this summer
Due to restrictions from the government, we are not yet allowed to have yoga classes in our yoga studio - so for the summer, we are teaching yoga classes with our very own teachers online (access the content anytime!) and in the Selkirk Memorial Park.

Watch for our special Full Moon Flow and Let Go Yoga Workshop in the Park - Saturday July 4, 10 a.m. 
Drop-ins welcome for all park yoga classes - $10/class.

We appreciate your support and the chance to stay connected and serve you, our dear community, and help you achieve your best health and wellness during these pandemic times!
