“I am so incredibly proud of each of you guys. You have done amazing things in the past 12 weeks and you should be proud of all your accomplishments big and small. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey to a healthier lifestyle”.
“Thanks again for everything! Enjoyed the close followup, support and benefits of the program. Still at it & seeing continued gains, as small as they are! Pretty cool to need to buy pants that fit because everything in the closet won’t stay on!”
“Because I was in Hockey FIT, it’s forced my family to think about what we eat. Like, do we really need this? What if we cook this (instead)? Does this fit in what you’re doing? What you’re working on? It’s been a bit of a step towards changing how we approach family lunches and there has been much more of a healthy variety.”
“I’d echo all those benefits and I’d encourage the Hockey FIT team to keep it up, I think the benefits are good. We’ve learned a lot this first year it was under difficult circumstances, and it’ll only get better as the next year or next couple of sessions go. So keep it up, it’s a good program. It’s a good thing, find some sponsors get someone to pay for whatever it takes.”
“I did want to share that I am down to my target weight and lost 40+ pounds through the Hockey FIT program. Huge lifestyle change and I feel great! Thanks to the Victoria Royals organization for participating in this platform. Much appreciated and couldn’t have done it without you.”
“HockeyFIT was a highlight of my Y career. I was proud of not only their individual participation, but also the team dynamic. The way they encouraged each other and built each other up was very inspiring.”
“I found the programme to be of great benefit. The classroom sessions were very informative, and the chance to discuss amongst others was great reinforcement. The fitness sessions were vigorous and challenging, and the coaches were very knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging. Everybody gave it their all. I’ve told a number of guys about the programme and hope they get an opportunity to join in the future. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. This 61 year old accomplished things I didn’t think possible at my age.”
“I’m on week 17 of my 12 week Hockey FIT programme! Lost 10 pounds so far, eating healthy and enjoying workouts every Tuesday evening at the YMCA. Thanks Hockey FIT!”
“All the exercises themselves are not equipment intensive or anything and everybody can walk away on their own and in the privacy of their own home, their back yard, their garage, whatever, they can do the majority of the things we do here [in the Hockey FIT program].”
