Why you shouldn't SH*T in your own backyard...

CCF's City Chick of the month, Gina, shares her passion for MMA and thoughts on living a healthy lifestyle while navigating the murky waters of the dating world. 

We all know that cardinal rule, don't date anyone at work!  It's something that I swear by but why didn't I think it also applied to the gym?  Silly me!  Now I love this class I go to 4-5 times a week, it makes me happy, makes me sweat buckets and I look forward to it every single day. The first time I tried this MMA style class, I instantly fell in love with it. Who knew that I would find something that completed me in so many ways. Yes I know it sounds cheesy but I love this class just as much as I love my cats!

Even my cats are into MMA! 

Get Him to the Gym!

CCF's City Boy of the month, John Tashjian, shares his thoughts on fitness & maintaining a healthy lifestyle while leading a hectic lifestyle as a Realtor. 

First off I’d like to thank City Chicks Fitness for letting me write this article for their blog.  I don’t claim to be an expert in any kind of fitness talk, but I'm a regular working man who wants to be fit, so I have enough experience to give my opinion about it!

Choosing the Right Gym

Hey city peeps, happy Saturday! Hope everyone had an awesome week! The temperatures are climbing and it's starting to feel like spring! Let's all take advantage by getting outside and enjoying this gorgeous weather!

We had a question thrown at us this week that we wanted to share. It was from someone that signed up for a gym membership with her sister and wanted to know what kind of workout to do. She joined because her sister asked her to. Kudos to her for being a supportive sister! I think anyone that decides to get healthy and start an exercise regime is very brave. This made me realize that being a gym newbie is intimidating. Signing the contract is the easy part, it's actually going that's hard! I've taken my ease at the gym for granted, some might even consider me a bit of a gym rat, because I've been going for years.

Got the Monday Blues? Kick 'em to the Curb!

Helloooo ladies (and gents), this is our first post on our blog (we haven't even written our bios yet!); but  we're just super pumped from our workout session this morning that we just had to share it with you.

Today happens to be Blue Monday. Yes just the sound of it is super depressing. For those of you who don't know, Blue Monday happens every 3rd Monday of January. It's scientifically proven that today is bluer than any other Monday of the year because: post-holiday syndrome is really kicking in, everyone's feeling the back-to-work blues, it's finally time to pay those credit card bills, we're still struggling to lose those extra pounds we gained, and on top of it all, it's COLD & gloomy (for those of you in Toronto, you know what I'm talking about re: EXTREME cold alert)...enough said.
