Finding My Fitness Groove With Studeo55 and Genuine Health

July 7, 2017

I was recently invited to a noon fitness session together with some fellow health, wellness and tech-minded bloggers.

We started with a CrossFit group class hosted by Vancouver’s own Studeo55.

This really cool gym is used by locals and A-listers alike for their fun and engaging space, and before long we were getting our sweat on with the instructor.

This was also a chance to learn about Genuine Health’s approach to nourishing superfood products.

This proudly Canadian company uses only pure and natural ingredients that are proven safe and effective through research. Renowned scientists and pros at leading institutions test many of their products before they hit market.

The entire range is free of artificial colours, flavours, sweeteners, preservatives, corn, dairy, egg, gluten, yeast GMO and animal products.

The company also works to reduce their environmental footprint, using sustainable, earth-friendly sources—increasing the use of recycled materials while reducing paper usage.

Fermented vegan proteins+ is the first fully-fermented protein to contribute to a healthy gut and overall good health while helping against bloating. You can add the powder to smoothies or mix into your own recipes.

Vegan Greens+ O is wheat, gluten, soy and dairy-free, made with non-GMO ingredients. It comes in vanilla and açaï mango flavours.

Another product we tried are Genuine Health’s fermented Greek yogurt proteins+ bars, formulated to provide maximum absorption, strengthen gut health and provide 15 grams of protein from grass-fed California dairy.

If you’re looking to get fit with other like-minded fitness fans, check out this recently-launched app called Whistle. With today’s demands on our time, it can be challenging to find a workout schedule to suit your style.

Whistle app lets you select the time of day you’re looking to get active, then the app does the rest: it finds someone in your area that’ll be up for the same activity, whether it’s jogging, yoga, biking or working out at the gym.

Once you find buddies to work out with, create a group chat to get everyone in on the schedule. Whistle even has a scheduler to organize the days and times of your activity and will send a calendar invite to everyone in the group.

The free app is available for iOS and Android devices.

And a big thanks to RYU for getting us into their technical workout gear. They’ve got a few locations in Vancouver: West 4th in Kits, Thurlow at Robson Street downtown and Park Royal in West Vancouver.
