hi friends! I’m brooke.
I am a Certified Group and Personal Trainer and Registered Holistic Nutritionist. I am also the owner/founder of My Body Fitness + Nutrition, Winnipeg’s first Body Inclusive fitness and nutrition company. Having worked in the health and fitness industry for over 10 years I knew that when starting My Body that things had to be different. I created My Body to bring body inclusivity to the health and fitness world, a place it has been either absent or just unwelcome for far too long.
In October 2018, I opened the commercial location of My Body, a Body Inclusive group fitness gym and community space! The My Body studio operates in Winnipeg, on Treaty 1 territory, the lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dene, Dakota Oyate peoples and the heart/homelands of the Metis Nation. Then due to a number of factors, Covid being a main one we closed our commercial location and moved to almost entirely online operations as of February 2022.
We now offer live online group classes 7 days a week in a variety of styles: 30 minute HIIT, 30 minute Mobility, and 60 minute Yoga classes, intentionally created accessible to all fitness levels and ALL BODIES. In Spring of 2022 we will be launching a few new offerings:
-My Body On Demand: A brand new subscription service of pre-recorded virtual My Body classes. All your favourite My Body classes and instructors available to you 24/7 in full library of pre-recorded classes!
-My Body at Home: A brand new sector of our Personal Training! Simply put your trainer comes to you! Within city limits your My Body trainer will come to your home and do your 1 on 1 session in your space bringing all necessary equipment!
-Pop Up In Person Classes: We will be popping up hosting in person group My Body classes in all styles all across the city! (When Covid + Weather permits)
We also offer Holistic Nutrition consultations using a Fat Liberation/Heath At Every Size (HAES) approach! (By appointment only)
We are committed to the work of being Body Positive, Fat Positive, diet culture free, advocates for mental health, feminist, anti-racist, anti-ableist, and we are made up of members and accomplices of the LGBTQIA+ community. We acknowledge that work and education in all of these areas is never done and are committed to continual education and contributions to our community.
Unlike the traditional gym model My Body’s focus is not on aesthetics but rather how you feel and what you are capable of, because there are so many other reasons to move and nourish your body that have nothing to do with its appearance.
My Body is an intentionally safe space for ALL humans to sweat, laugh, and learn together in a truly judgement free inclusive environment, all because they love their bodies.
We are committed to making real change in and outside of the industry with My Body, through dismantling and rejecting what’s become the traditional health + fitness model for gyms which is rooted in white supremacy, fat phobia and ableism. We work to do this with a focus on community, never ending education and actively working to help as many people as possible to discover Joyful Movement!
