Ajax Health and Fitness

The team at Bayly St. Chiropractic Centre addresses a wide variety of maladies, led by experienced Doctors of Chiropractic Will Mauch and Robert Sasse. Dr. Sasse utilizes a diversified manual adjusting method, calling upon training from the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and more than 25 years of experience.

In addition to chiropractic care, the crew strives to restore patient health with acupuncture services and detoxifying foot baths. An on-staff massage therapist employs specialized training in hot-stone techniques, treatments for whiplash and lower back pain, and infant massage, which is ideal for a colicky baby or an overworked onesies model.

Upon entering Me First Fitness, awarded the 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 Diamond award for Best Boot Camp from News Advertiser, guests notice a distinct absence of rows of people doing the same exercises over and over on the same machines again and again. Here, patrons battle their own body weight with TRX suspension cords, swing kettlebells, jump rope, and pummel punching bags to whip into shape. The staff of certified and specialized trainers pushes patrons to achieve healthy lifestyles through personal-training sessions and high-intensity boot-camp classes. They boast that no two workouts are the same, preventing minds from getting bored and bodies from becoming accustomed to the movements, thus rendering workouts less effective. To supplement their body-sculpting workouts, the trainers motivate guests to change their diets, equipping them with healthful meal plans and recipes, and raiding secret storage lockers full of Twinkies.

With frames from dozens of brands backed by a staff of eyesight experts, Focuspoint Optical helps their clients' faces look as sharp as their vision. Designs by Ray-Ban, Versace, and Gucci frame prescription lenses to ensure everyday specs and sunglasses maintain a crisp outlook on the world and a proper dress code during library sting operations. Meanwhile, onsite opticians perform full eye examinations and ocular health checkups, and ophthalmologists treat clients in need of specialized care.

A gold-medal winner while on the Canadian National track team, director Okiki Akinremi puts all of his 17 years of athletic training experience into running Xplosion Fitness. During his time with both the track and bobsled team, Akinremi observed the use in fusing multiple training methods to achieve the level of fitness needed to push a bobsled through the long jump pit. He has honed his ability to work with both seasoned athletes such as Bruny Surin and Robert Esmie along with those with little to no experience, infusing individual fitness goal plans with his own passion and commitment. By harmonizing core and resistance training with a combo of stretching, cardio, and nutrition consultation, his customizable programs and drop-in boot-camp classes result in shedding weight, complete body toning, and a more positive, less frowny way of life.
