Coach Megan Nearing Physiotherapy Licensing!

🧠 Big News: Coach Megan Nearing Physiotherapy Licensing!

We’re thrilled to share that Coach Megan is preparing to take her qualifying exam to become a licensed resident physiotherapist in Ontario. Once complete, she’ll be able to officially begin practicing physiotherapy here at BTB! 🙌

In the meantime, while her credentials are still in transition from the UK, Megan is available for personal training sessions focused on helping you manage aches and pains, improve mobility, and support your joint health.

While these sessions aren’t billable as physiotherapy just yet, they still offer many of the similar benefits — guided by Megan’s extensive knowledge and experience.

If you’ve been dealing with some nagging pain, tightness, or mobility limitations, this is a great opportunity to work with Megan in a personalized setting until her official practice is up and running.

👉 Reach out to book a personal training session with Megan today!

Welcome to the 500 Class Club:

Pina De Sousa and Dennis Sabourin

At BTB, we celebrate hard work, dedication, and community spirit—and this month, we’re shining the spotlight on Pina De Sousa and Dennis Sabourin!

Pina De Sousa- 500 Class Club

Pina is the definition of consistency. No matter how busy life gets, you’ll find her showing up at 6 AM ready to put in the work. As a business owner and a dedicated mother of two young girls, she balances her responsibilities while making fitness a priority. Her commitment is an inspiration to everyone around her—proving that when something matters, you make time for it!

Dennis Sabourin- 500 Class Club

Dennis has been a pillar of the BTB community, both in and out of class. Not only has he finally hit the 500-class milestone, but he also goes above and beyond to keep the gym running smoothly. From helping. to build the gym, to shovelling the parking lot, to helping with maintenance, Dennis is always lending a hand. His dedication to both his training and the BTB family does not go unnoticed.
