Momentum Health and Wellness - Momentum Health and Wellness

Momentum Health and Wellness (MWH) is devoted to inspire and educate lives through fitness, health and wellness. We offer prenatal and postnatal fitness classes, yoga, personal training, injury rehabilitation and fitcamps for all fitness levels. Our small class size allows each client to receive the attention they deserve from a fitness professional that has a University degree and is certified by the Canadian Society of Exercise Physiology or equivalent.

MHW mission is to provide the necessary support, motivation and resources to our clients as they embark on their fitness and wellness journey.

Owner and founder of MHW, Rachelle, aspires to create a community of people who recognize the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and who acknowledge the impact of being positive role models will have on our future generations.

Chocolate Zucchini Muffins
November 5, 2020
It is rare that I buy muffins from a store. Like really rare. The amount of sugar in a lot of these is quite high, and I have just made a priority in my family to make our own so we know what ingredients are in it. It’s hard sometimes though, especially when you see a box of granola bars for sale for $1 with a coupon… but believe me, the taste is SO MUCH better when you [Read More...]
Money Saving Tips During this Un-PLANNED- emic
September 17, 2020
How I Planned My Way Out of This Un-PLANNED-emic To say that these times are unprecedented is an understatement. From recession to Global Pandemic, many families have taken an absolute hit when it comes to finances; mine included. My name is Lila Berg and I’m going to share with you our story and some things we did to make this wild ride a bit easier on our pocketbook. Wait, does anyone [Read More...]
Supporting Kids Intellectual and Occupational Wellness
June 29, 2020
I think Intellectual and Occupational Wellness can go hand in hand. We will typically find a career that we enjoy and expands our knowledge and skill strengths. So how do we encourage and teach our children about how to work hard, have a life/ work balance and do something they love now and when they are older? First I think that we need to allow them to try and experience different [Read More...]
Importance of Social Wellness: Kids
June 27, 2020
Feeling connected and loved by others is important in life. As parents and caregivers, we need to teach and lead by example for showing our children what it means to have a healthy relationship with friends, family and members of our community. Research shows that people who have a positive and strong social network will live longer, deal with stress better, have a healthier immune system [Read More...]
Kids Nutrition: Physical Wellness
June 26, 2020
Physical wellness is important because we need to take care of our bodies and for our bodies to function properly in order for us to live a healthy life. This includes physical activity, proper nutrition, adequate sleep and personal hygiene. Physical activity is so important for children for not only their physical body, but for their mental health. Kids should get 60 minutes a day of [Read More...]

Spring The season I'm constantly reminded of how it's ok to grow and go through life at a different pace as every one else.This is so true for moms going through their postpartum rehab journey. There are so many factors that will influence this process, so please be kind to yourself and other moms. We have enough mom guilt and don't need to raise our stress levels even more by comparing each other.This is also true for babies and kids "hitting their milestones." Every child is on their own path, so stop comparing him/her to your friend's babies or other kids in a mom's group. If you have concerns with the development of your child, please talk to your health care provider and listen to your mom gut feelings!So as we watch the tulips and plants grow at a different pace this spring, remember, at the end of the day, we will a get to where we are meant to belong ... so don't rush it.Just enjoy every moment in between! ...

Core and balance Sometimes you don't need to do complex moves to incorporate more balance and core work into your routine.With golf season approaching, I've been challenging my body a bit differently.1. I complete some of my exercises without shoes on. Why? Some shoes, especially if you have orthotics in them, will restrict ankle movement. You can't be locked in a position and expect your body to work as a unit. When you go through certain movements without shoes, you start to notice imbalances within your body, which could be the weak link in the chain. 2. It's not about how heavy the weight is. Yes, the heavier the weight, the more your body is challenged, but what is the purpose of the movement you're trying to do and the outcome you're trying to achieve?3. I'm constantly learning and adapting. I'm way more intuned with my body post knee surgery last year and recognizing my strong and weak points ... and it has paid off! My knee feels way stronger then it ever has!So today, when you're working out, or trying a new exercise, I want you to pay attention to your body during that movement and not just go through the motions without thinking!💙Rachelle ...
