SENIORS PHYSICAL LITERACY (SPL) IS NOW LIVE!
Ages 65+. What better Christmas Gift for your parent, grandparent, or yourself than to get the gift of Physical Literacy. 💪🏽
As the natural aging process begins, one may notice a loss of energy, difficulty walking distances, climbing stairs and even carrying groceries😕 This is the time to join a program that will keep your brain thinking and your body moving! 🤔💪🏽😋These once easy Activities of Daily Living (ADL’s) have been made harder primarily from loss of muscle and inactivity. When it comes to muscle, its true that we simply must use it, or lose it! Our Senior’s Physical Literacy program is beneficial countless reasons, but here is a few key ones:
-Strength building
-Maintaining bone density
-Improving balance
-Coordination, and mobility enhancement
-Reduces your risk of falling (fall prevention)
-Independence in performing activities of daily life (ADL's)
Classes will start January of 2020 and will run Monday, Wednesday and Thursdays to start! 😃

Happy Anniversary Inspire Sports!
Happy Anniversary Inspire Sports!
Amazing! Its our first anniversary and we could not be prouder in our great team in helping us reach this milestone!
Around two years ago, Lucas Tiefenbach and June K Tiefenbach, mother and son team, dreamt of opening a true Gymnastics-For-All facility in beautiful Victoria. One that offered programming for all ages, all abilities, and all levels from recreational to national level. They wanted to see a gym that brought back a national mens and womens artistic gymnastics program to the island under the same roof. Along this journey, they met the Magraken family, who shared the same vision of Gymnastics for All and had a son who dreamt of the opportunity to become a male competitive gymnast, but had no chance to compete due to lack of male gymnastics programming on the lower island. Many boys were not giving the opportunity to compete and some even left the sport. With the help and support of the Magraken's, along with the passion, desire, and need from the city of Victoria for a Gymnastics Super Centre, Inspire Sports Victoria grew from 20 members last August 5th (opening first day), to 1874 Active Memberships and 2400 clients with a spot for everyone.
Our team has now grown from July of last year (before gym opening) with June, Lucas, Isaac, and Jenna, to our team of now over 30 staff.
We really could not have done this with out the amazing support from the city of Victoria, British Columbia, Spieth Canada, Gymnastics BC, and Create Design & Construction who have made our doors open.
A Special Thanks to James for putting together this amazing video giving an overview of the last year. Please watch and share with friends.
Lets keep the momentum going into the next year! 😃🎉

Parkour Classes Now Open at Inspire Sports Victoria!
Parkour Classes Now Open at Inspire Sports Victoria!
Did you know Parkour now falls under the Gymnastics British Columbia umbrella! This is very exciting!! Inspire Sports through Gymnastics BC is proud to offer Victoria's first certified recreational parkour classes in partnership with the World Freerunning Parkour Federation (WFPF).
With certified parkour specific coaches and a state of the art facility, what better way to master the art and sport of Parkour!
WHAT IS PARKOUR?
According to the WFPF, “parkour is the act of moving from point “a” to point “b” using the obstacles in your path to increase your efficiency.” It has origins in a training program for French Special Forces known as “Parcours du combatant,” or “The Path of the Warrior.” The perfect blend free-running, tricking, gymnastics, and body movements!
See you there!! 😃

#99, The Great One, Wayne Gretzky!
Inspire Sports was given the honour to introduce our company to Wayne Gretzky and to watch a hockey game in Shanghai thanks to our friend Weldon Epp, the Canadian Consul General in Shanghai.
Inspire Sports sees a great future potential to work with winter sports, much like Hockey, for off season training to help promote flexibility, stability, core strength, range of motion, and physical literacy.
Gymnastics always will be one of the best foundation sports and has been the first step in sports for many Professional Atheltes in elite sports like Hockey.
We would like to thank Mr. Gretzky for the chance to meet and look forward to the growth of Sports and opportunities world wide!
