about us

We take our strength training (but not ourselves) seriously

 

BYF is a small crew of humans who love to connect and sweat together, both online (ZOOM) and outdoors (FAIRMONT PARK, OTTAWA). 

At this time, all BYF classes are taking place ONLINE but we hope to be in a park near you soon. 

Our classes are approachable for all humans and adaptable to any equipment you have (or don't have at home).

 

 Our mission:

  • Make movement fun, safe and challenging! 

  • Build community through movement.

  • Promote a MINDFUL and BODY POSITIVE, Health at Every Size (HAES) approach to training! 

  • Fight for equity and inclusion in the health and wellness industry 

 

 

Classes are run by me, Sophia! I have been working as a strength and conditioning coach for 9 years and am obsessed with helping humans get strong!
