Jessica Schielke-

Originally from Carstairs I have a huge place in my heart for this little town and all the people in it! I genuinely care about you and your health and I want to help you achieve your health goals by being your motivator in class! I grew up playing school sports, after graduating I attended some university and college level courses for Personal Training. Most recent I am a Certified Group Fitness Instructor through the Alberta Fitness Leadership Certificate Association where I specialized in Portable Equipment and Choreography, as well as a certified PiYo Instructor, having taken my training in Nashville directly with some of the co-creators of PiYo Live. As the owner of Uptown Gym I am excited to bring you my classes as well as offer a variety of other great classes during various times throughout the day. Health and fitness is my passion and I am so grateful that I get to share that love with all of you.

PiYo- Monday and Wednesday 7-8pm Full body cardio, strength and flexibility workout. Who says you have to jump, grunt, strain, and punish your body to get amazing results from your workout? Not with PiYo…PiYo combines the muscle-sculpting, core-firming benefits of Pilates with the strength and flexibility advantages of yoga. I crank up the speed to deliver a true fat-burning, low-impact workout that leaves your body looking long, lean, and incredibly defined. PiYo isn't like standard Pilates and yoga classes that make you hold long, intense poses, or lead you through dozens of repetitive, microscopic core movements. PiYo speeds everything up—including your results—by introducing you to dynamic, flowing sequences that can burn serious calories at the same time as they lengthen and tone your muscles and increase your flexibility. With every action-packed PiYo session, you can burn excess fat and sculpt and define your whole body, as you minimize the aches and pains that can come along with high-impact workouts. No matter your age, no matter your body type, PiYo will help give you dramatically visible, incredibly beautiful results.

PumpIt!- Tuesday and Thursday 7-8pm Full body strength workout with dumbells and using your own body weight. Lifting in this class you’ll tone and shape your entire body, without adding bulky muscles. This full body dumbbell workout will burn calories, shape and tone your entire body, increase core strength and improve bone health. I've created this workout because I just love strength training. We will be lifting to the music to make this class energetic and FUN!

To Register in PiYo and/or Pumpit call or text 403-575-1041 or find me on facebook and send me a message https://www.facebook.com/PiYolivebyjessica/
