Iron Prairie Strength Lab

What if you actually looked forward to going to the gym?

Not because every workout is easy, but because you know the people, your coaches know you, and showing up has become one of the best parts of your day.

That’s the kind of gym we’re building at IPSL. ❤️

B**r Mile is TOMORROW!!!

If you’ve been on the fence, this is your final nudge to grab your people and get signed up.

Come solo, bring a partner, or build a team. Walk it, run it, wear something ridiculous, and come have some fun for a really good local cause.

A few important reminders for tomorrow:
B**r Mile starts at 11AM
Bring your ID
Costumes are encouraged, and yes, the costume challenge is on
B**r, c***r and non-alcoholic options are available

You do not have to participate in the B**r Mile to come out to the BBQ afterward.

The fundraiser BBQ at Skout Brewing starts after the event, and all BBQ proceeds will go to Playfair Daycare.

So even if the B**r Mile itself is not your thing, come cheer people on, grab some food, hang out, and help us support the daycare.

Last-minute registrations are still open.

Tomorrow. 11AM. Starts at Iron Prairie Strength Lab!

Tag the person you’re bringing with you!

You do not have to get in shape before joining a gym. That’s what we’re here to help you with.

If you’ve been wanting to start but feel nervous, unsure or like you wouldn’t know what to do, send me a message. I’d love to chat and see if we might be a good fit.

200 CLUB!!!

Big congratulations to Deanna on hitting 200 classes at Iron Prairie Strength Lab!

We always love seeing Deanna walk through the door. She’s strong, consistent, and somehow manages to handle pretty much everything her coaches throw at her with grace... and only the smallest amount of complaining 😂

That’s what 200 classes looks like: showing up, putting in the work, getting stronger, and becoming such a solid part of the IPSL community along the way.

Way to go, Deanna. We’re so happy to have you in class and so excited to celebrate this milestone with you! ❤️

Next stop... 300 Club!

Want to get fitter? It really doesn’t have to be that complicated.

Every week:

Lift something off the floor.
Press something over your head.
Pull something toward you.
Squat down and stand back up.
Carry, drag or push something heavy.
Walk often.

Use different weights. Try different variations. Do some of it outside when you can.

You don’t need the newest fitness trend, fancy technology or a complicated plan.

You need to move your body, challenge your muscles and keep showing up consistently.

The basics aren’t flashy, but they work. They always have!

Bright Spot Friday: Kyla!

Kyla started with us through Strong as a Mother and has jumped into this community with both feet.

She shows up consistently, brings her baby along (that's my little guy pictured) and continues to find ways to prioritize herself in the middle of a very busy season of life. She has also been patient and intentional about rebuilding her strength postpartum instead of trying to rush the process.

Today she reached an exciting core-strength milestone during class, and we had a little cheer moment together when she realized just how much progress she had made.

I clearly need to get better at taking pictures because apparently I don’t have a single direct shot of her face, but this photos also sum things up pretty perfectly: Kyla putting in the work!

Kyla, you are doing an amazing job. I’m so impressed by your consistency and the progress you’ve already made. We are so happy to have you as part of IPSL!

A little Sunday reset might be exactly what you need.

Join Coach Nick for Sunday Mobility Reset! An opportunity to slow things down, work on your mobility, and give your body a little extra attention before heading into a new week.

Whether you're feeling stiff from training, spending too much time sitting, or just want to move and feel better, this one's for you!

Sunday, September 27th
11:00 AM

Member and non-member rates available!

HOW TO GRAB YOUR SPOT:

IPSL Members: Head to the app and book your spot through the drop-in option.

Non-members: Send us a message and we'll get you set up!

The B**r Mile is ridiculous.

But the reason we do it isn’t.

This year, all proceeds from the Moosomin B**r Mile are once again going to Playfair Daycare.

Childcare is such an important piece of a strong community. It supports families, helps parents stay in the workforce, and gives kids a safe place to learn, play and grow.

So yes, we’re going to drink, walk, run, wear ridiculous costumes and have a really good time.

But underneath all of that, this event is about supporting something local that matters.

The B**r Mile takes place September 26 at 11AM, and every registration helps support Playfair Daycare.

You don’t have to be fast.
You don’t have to be a runner.
You don’t even have to drink b**r.

You just have to show up and be part of it.

Do something a little ridiculous for a really good reason.
