Empowering Seniors to Live Active, Confident Lives.

Reclaim Your ENERGY

Do you remember the days when you could keep up with the grandkids, explore new places on vacation, or simply get through a busy day without getting winded or feeling those old, familiar aches and pains? Imagine having that energy again. Flare Fitness’s online classes help seniors like you regain strength, stamina, and vitality to TRULY ENJOY LIFE. Our program is designed specifically for active seniors, focusing on low-impact exercises that build endurance and muscle strength. This means you can tackle everyday activities with more ease, whether it’s climbing the stairs, pushing your grandkids on the swings, or pursuing your favourite hobbies. You’ll have the energy to do the things you love without feeling drained.

BOOST Your Confidence

Feeling good about yourself starts from the inside out. Our program EMPOWERS you to move with confidence, tackle new challenges, and feel proud of what your body can achieve. As you gain strength and flexibility, you’ll naturally feel more confident in your daily activities. Simple things like walking down the street or reaching for that high shelf become easier and more manageable. This newfound confidence can spill over into other areas of your life, motivating you to try new things and embrace new experiences. Imagine the satisfaction of completing a challenging workout routine or participating in an activity you once thought was out of reach. Online classes with Flare Fitness can help you rediscover your inner strength and confidence, empowering you to live your life to the fullest.

“As we headed into our late 60s and welcomed our first grandchild, it became painfully obvious how quickly our ability to manage daily tasks was tanking. Body parts hurt, arthritis was setting in, and we became concerned about our future.

Then we discovered Tonia’s functional fitness for seniors through ELLA. Finally, someone who understands seniors!!  We enjoyed it so much that we continued on in her twice-weekly Zoom classes. We now have a plethora of mini-exercises we can draw on every day to work on areas of concern to us.  We can do many of them anywhere, even in a waiting room or the car!  Tonia provides alternative ways to do most exercises for those people with limitations.  After 3 months, we both feel more confident, capable and less anxious about our future. Her focus on cardio, strength, flexibility and balance has been crucial for us to be able to perform daily functions more easily and enjoy the grandchild we waited so long for. Tonia’s program for seniors is a must for every senior trying to stay out of institutional care as they age.

And here is a picture of us sitting on the grass enjoying the tulips of Washington.  And we both got back up on our feet with much less effort than would have been required a few months ago.”

“I “discovered” Tonia during Covid.  The Edmonton LifeLong Learning Association began offering virtual classes, and I registered for the Functional Fitness program that Tonia offered.  As an age 65+ senior, I have been very fitness focused for most of my adult life and have participated in many types of exercise classes.  I was so impressed with Tonia’s knowledge, instructional ability, attention to proper form and safety, as well as her wonderfully insane energy.  Immediately after completing the program through ELLA, I signed up for Tonia’s Monday and Thursday virtual Functional Fitness classes.  After hearing of my experience, my husband took Tonia’s next course that ELLA offered and subsequently joined me, participating in Tonia’s weekly classes.

 

These classes can be taken live, but Tonia also records and posts her classes to YouTube, so no excuse if the timing of a live class isn’t convenient! Tonia consistently encourages us to exercise safely and within our own ability but also challenges ourselves.  She regularly offers modifications of exercises to meet each participant’s specific needs. Functional fitness is my goal now and for the future.  Tonia is a cornerstone in supporting that goal. She has truly made a positive difference in our wellness and our lives.”

“I have been doing Tonia’s online classes since I met her in 2021 through the Edmonton Lifelong Learners Association (ELLA). As well as keeping me physically active, her classes helped me to stay positive during the Covid lockdown.

She focuses on functional movements, which target balance, stretching, cardio, and strength. She gives lots of modifications for injuries, surgeries, and arthritic joints, and lots of suggestions for doing the exercises when you have hurt your back or are out walking in different conditions like snow, ice or on sidewalks.
She is always encouraging and has a great sense of humour. It’s also fun to see her pets wandering in and out.

I am in my 70s and can still get up and down on the floor to play with my grandchildren and to run around with them in the backyard.”
Tonia records the classes so you can watch them later if you can’t make it live.
I really enjoy her workouts and hope to keep doing them for a long time.”

“I’m so grateful for your classes, Tonia. I’ve never been an “exercise” type of person, but joining your class so many years ago was one of the best things I’ve ever done. A couple of years later, my Doctor was surprised at the improvement in my bone density and attributed it to my participation in your fitness classes.

 More recently, at age 80, I’ve been attending physio for my scoliosis. The therapist is trained in the Schroth method of treatment, which entails getting into all sorts of weird positions and isolating and moving various body parts to deal with the curvature of my spine. I know I would not be able to assume these positions and reap the benefits if I had not kept up participating in your classes.

 Thank you for keeping me mobile and upright!!!”
