Running an ultramarathon is an incredible feat, and completing the Sulphur Springs 50km trail race after a previous attempt shows remarkable resilience and determination. Jolt Fam member, Tammy D., shares her inspiring story of grit, redemption and consistent hard work both in the gym and on the trails.

Your pelvic floor isn't an isolated muscle you just squeeze. It's deeply intertwined with your diaphragm (your breathing muscle) and your deep core. Think of them as a team working together to support everything from your growing baby to your ability to crush a Cross Train session (eventually!). When one member of the team isn't pulling its weight, the whole system suffers. During pregnancy and postpartum, this connection becomes even more critical.

Endurance sports (running, cycling, swimming) are as much a test of mental fortitude as they are of physical preparedness. But what happens when your own training and nutrition become your biggest obstacle? That was the story of Coach Piera at P2A Breve in 2023. Fast forward two years, and her experience at the 2025 edition was a complete 180. This isn't just about two different race days; its application of mindset shifts, fuelling properly, and finally understanding that less can truly be more.

Jolt Lifters, you’ve loaded the barbell, built impressive strength, resiliency, and followed a progressive resistance training program. But what about cardiovascular fitness?

A hybrid athlete is someone who trains in and excels at multiple athletic disciplines, combining strength, endurance, and other skills (like jumping and power) for a versatile and well-rounded fitness approach

Running, often perceived as the enemy of lifting, can be a powerful tool to enhance your overall fitness, improve recovery, and even boost your lifting performance. Often, we feel the need to join a camp of either being a “lifter” or a “runner”, but what if we can explore the idea of being a hybrid athlete who can run, jump, lift and live a resilient and confident life outside of the gym doors.

In my first pregnancy, I was lucky enough to keep up my resistance training pretty much as usual. I was crushing Jolt group sessions like Lift, barely needing to dial anything back. But with these back-to-back pregnancies, it's been a whole different ballgame. I've had to get creative, adapting my training to manage the physical demands of my job (both at Jolt and work at home with a toddler).

As a pre/post natal certified fitness coach, there’s no textbook that can expand your growth and versatility as a trainer quite like the experience itself. Here’s what I have learned this pregnancy:

A common training mistake is going to the gym and doing different movements every time. Although people love the entertainment of variety, it does not lead to effective or efficient results. Instead, we want to maximize your time in the gym to produce the best results - therefore you’ll see consistent exercises in each Mesocycle (3 month periods).

Specifically our Lift and Cross Train sessions are progressive programs designed by Coach Siggy (that’s me!), a trainer with over a decade of experience in all modalities and environments of training. Our Lift sessions are the closest experience you can get to personal training while maintaining the group energy and vibe that we all love! We believe in building a solid foundation of strength using consistent compound movements, and we’re going to help you understand why.

In celebration of International Women’s Day on March 8th, we reached out to the inspiring women of the Jolt Fitness community and invited them to express their dedication to fitness and well-being in hopes to inspire others. If you have tried a gym in the past and quickly decided it wasn’t for you, then I hope these women will help empower you to try again, to never give up and keep pushing for integrity in women’s health.

Not all magnesium supplements are created equal. It can be overwhelming walking into a supplement store (or even swimming through online social network marketing) influenced by all the brands and their bold marketing claims. Often supplement companies can make over-assuming calls to action, without the appropriate dosage or quality for effective response. The supplement industry lacks regulation, therefore it’s important to choose high quality, transparent brands with third party testing. This will ensure you get the best bang for your buck. Learn more about how to choose a supplement brand here. Different forms have varying bioavailability, meaning how well your body absorbs them. Here's a breakdown:

When it comes to enhancing health status, disease resiliency, and functional performance, improving VO2 max is a key for those looking to improve their quality of life. VO2 max, or maximal oxygen uptake, is a measure of the body’s ability to take in and utilize oxygen during exercise. Increasing your VO2 max not only enhances your endurance but also boosts your overall fitness level. The best ways to improve your VO2 max at Jolt Fitness is joining in on our Kickboxing and Sweat sessions. Both of which improve the VO2 max using different methods of cardiovascular output.

We felt truly inspired to share the story of the Finlayson family this Family Day. It was amazing to see Brooke spotting her mom as she tackled a heavy, loaded barbell bench press. Moreover, the sight of Kelly and Scott lifting side by side in our classes is testament to the strength of this family - physically and emotionally. When we established Jolt Fitness, our primary aim was to inspire and welcome the entire community. Witnessing families like the Finlaysons become part of the Jolt Fam reaffirms that we are progressing toward achieving our mission of building resilient bodies and creating high-quality lives in Huron County. To the Finlaysons and all the families who have made Jolt Fitness their second home, you inspire us and the entire Jolt Fam!
