Whether you've:
👉 Hurt your back deadlifting
👉 Felt intimidated or insecure in the weight room
👉 Struggled with poor posture, stiff hips, or low energy from sitting at a desk all day
👉 Tried group fitness but felt lost in the crowd...
This class was built for you.
We work in small groups only so you get individualized attention, coaching on perfect form, and progressive programming that actually delivers results. You’ll learn how to lift safely, move pain-free, and build a body that feels strong, mobile, and injury-resistant—even if you’re a complete beginner.

✔️ People who want to overcome gym anxiety and finally feel at home lifting weights
✔️ Beginners or returners looking to build a solid foundation
We train in 6-week progressive blocks, focusing on technique, strength, mobility, and injury prevention. Every movement is coached and adjusted based on your body’s needs. We work with your injuries—not around them.
BONUS: Nutritional support is available if you’re ready to dial in your recovery, energy, and fat loss goals.

The Toronto Artist's Way Meetup Monthly Meetup
The purpose of the group, based on the book The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron, is for people to meet and talk about their artistic challenges in any field (painting, writing, music etc.) and encourage each other to break their creative blocks and fulfill themselves in their art. If you find people who are sympathetic, you may want to form your own group, meeting regularly to explore the book and supporting each other in their artistic journeys. I have gone through 2 such clusters and can say that it is a very powerful experience. Why not come to a meeting and see for yourself?

Elixir TO March 2026 - In Person & Remote
Hey Toronto Elixir,
Winter is in full swing in Toronto and we are back for our first meetup of 2026!
This event will be **BOTH in person and online**! The hybrid format has been pretty successful so we are very excited to, once again, bring together local Torontonians and people from all over the world that we met during the online only meetups!
We will be **hosted by BitGo**, with pizza and beverages provided for in-person attendees courtesy of **Instinct Science**.
The appointment is for **Thursday March 19th, doors open at 6:00 pm** at the BitGo's Toronto office at 110 Spadina, 9th floor or [online](https://meet.google.com/jzv-reyt-wav).
Talks will start around **6:30pm**.
First, we're excited to welcome **Francesco Cesarini,** Founder of Erlang Solutions and author of Erlang Programming and Designing for Scalability with Erlang/OTP (https://github.com/francescoc). He'll be joining us in person for his talk **Thinking Concurrency: Dwelling in Erlang and Elixir.**
The functional paradigm has been influencing mainstream languages for decades, making developers more efficient whilst helping reduce maintenance costs. As we are faced with a programming model that needs to scale on multi-core architectures and distributed environments, concurrency becomes critical. In these concurrency models, immutability, a key feature of functional programming paradigm will become even more evident. To quote Simon Peyton Jones, future concurrent languages will be functional; they might not be called functional, but the features will be. At this meetup, we will be discussing why!
Next up, **Ben Schultzer** will present **SQL - An exploration of foreign language integration in Elixir** where he'll take a closer look at the state-of-the-art in database connection pools and disprove 30 years of dogma.
If you wanna have a chat, look for our community on the **#toronto channel** of the Elixir Slack https://elixir-lang.slack.com
p.s.
Given that this is also a remote event please feel free to extend the invite outside the Toronto community as well! We'll be happy to have you!
