Thrive Movement Studio

Fantastic experience: I received a very warm welcome as a newcomer to this studio. Lyndsey leads the Friday morning class and was awesome. My experience has been very positive, great space and a great trainer.

Fantastic experience: Thank you for allowing me to join 5 classes at Thrive in Ocean Park during the time I came to Ocean Park to look after my Dad. I really enjoyed the classes, the instructors, and the fellow clients. The variety of exercises keeps classes interesting and motivating. I love how targeted each activity is! The instructors are very friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I will definitely be calling again when I am back at my Dad’s. Please send my thanks to all your instructors! Pam Blake, Calgary

Fantastic experience: A great studio for all levels of fitness. I love the small group format, you get lots of personal attention and the workouts are always different!

Fantastic experience: Thrive is amazing! The support and sense of community there is fabulous.

Fantastic experience: Joined Thrive a few months ago and absolutely love the place. I train with Teresa and a small group of women and have improved my strength and core. Love the weekly news letter and eating plan and the monthly adventure outing. Last month we did a cold plunge and sauna at a local farm ( incredible afternoon) Highly recommend ❤️

Fantastic experience: Went here a few years ago as I was previously homeschooled, staff is very friendly and supportive, there's a great atmosphere as well, definitely the place to go for those looking to keep in shape as well those who are self conscious about being unfit. As someone who is skinny and hardly gets out much and cant motivate myself to do much exercise on my own this place was great for improving my strength and fitness and I would encourage others to give it a shot!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been working out at Thrive since they opened and it’s just the best! If you aren’t one to motivate yourself to go to the gym and you don’t like thinking about what workout to do every time, plus you like to chat and have a good time, Thrive is a no brainer. Especially if you live in WR/S.S.

Fantastic experience: Jen is awesome, supporting me in reaching lofty fitness goals (incl. backpacking across Scotland) and modifying workouts to maximize fitness when I've been injured (which happens on my own time, not hers!). She absolutely responds to my needs while encouraging me with her attitude. Thanks Jen!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Thrive for many years and can honestly say it is the best place to get your workout. Energetic, knowledgable, and pleasant instructors, great space, and local. Thank you, Thrive!

Fantastic experience: Thrive is a great community of women... and men! The trainers are amazing and supportive. Small Group Training is a fun, dynamic workout every session. I have been a client for years. I love everything about Thrive! It's a great space for all levels of fitness.

Fantastic experience: This is my favourite gym EVER!! And I’ve been working out for decades. Top notch trainers. Great workouts with lots of variety. Wonderful women to work out with. I’ve shared a lot of laughs here and always look forward to my workouts.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic instructors, fabulous gym mates, beautiful space to work out, energetic music, added value of weekly newsletters with meal suggestions & one amazing fearless leader , Christine Hall! My life is enriched with Thrive Movement!

Fantastic experience: Christine and her team have created a space that focuses on wellness and inclusivity. The trainers are knowledgeable and make the sessions fun. Highly recommend this gym for all levels of fitness.

Fantastic experience: Great trainers!

Fantastic experience: Lyndsey has been amazing! She always has a smile on her face and is very encouraging during my personal training sessions while still pushing me. I have only been going for a few weeks and already seeing such incredible results in my strength and energy. I have been apart of other gyms and hired PT's but never have experienced anything like this. Thrive is a hidden gem in Ocean Park!

Fantastic experience: Lyndsey Busch did a fitness assessment on me. I have many sports injuries, injuries from car accidents and weak core from a c section. I am not the easiest person to train, especially when the PT is your sister. Lyndsey is my older sister and I went in expecting to laugh and have fun, I was overwhelmed with her level of professionalism and knowledge of how to modify exercises so I didn’t feel pain but instead the burn from a full body workout. For the hour I was there she wasn’t my sister she was an educated, motivated, dedicated trainer that met all my needs and inspired me to actually seriously start this journey and I will for sure be seeing her and the other incredible team members at Thrive!!

Fantastic experience: Christine Hall was fantastic! She is very friendly, funny, and she really asseses your fitness level to customize the appropriate workout plan.

Fantastic experience: The best staff and beat workout!!

Fantastic experience: Christine and the entire team of trainers at Thrive are so welcoming and so wonderful! The Small Group Training (SGT) sessions always hit the mark, combine a good amount of cardio and strength exercises, and always make me want to come back for more - so much better than any "group fitness class" you'll find at other gyms. The programming keeps you motivated, the dedicated session times help keep you accountable to actually show-up, and as a local, small business, the quality of service is always 110%. I highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Thrive Movement Studio enough. The Small Group Training format connects you with the friendly, supportive community of trainers and clients at Thrive, while giving you a really good workout. Christine and her team really care about their clients. They provide regular challenges, contests and check-ins to keep you motivated, and you can always check in with your trainer for personalized help and advice. During the pandemic Thrive has been there every step of the way -- taking their classes online via Zoom, renting out equipment and staying in touch. I feel happy and privileged to be part of this community and recommend it heartily. Try it out!!

Fantastic experience: I love going here. The people are all amazing. Christine and her team are so supportive and flexible. PHO says no in person classes, no problem. Classes were moved on line without skipping a beat.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to this wonderful studio for 2 years. The atmosphere is professional and personal. I can’t say enough about the owner Christine and all her trainers! Throughout the crazy quarantine times she checked in on everyone, had personal Zoom classes and delivered weights and equipment to members. They have slowly and carefully allowed clients back to the studio with all safety measures in place. If you want gym and training in a safe nurturing atmosphere please come and join us!!

Fantastic experience: I have tried lots of different fitness programs over the years but thrive’s personal touch, varied and challenging workouts and accountability have kept me coming back for 2 years. I have been very impressed with the cleanliness and personal space when the studios reopened post-covid.

Fantastic experience: I have never been a “group fitness kind of person” but I gave Thrive a try 3 years ago and haven’t looked back. The workouts are tough but modifications are always provided. The trainers are amazing and truly care about the clients. I continued online during the shutdown but am very happy to be back in studio with lots of space between clients and excellent cleaning protocols. Keep up the fantastic work Christine and team!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the best trainers anywhere. I’ve done fitness classes in studio and online and am a regular small group training client. You will never find a better way to train. Honestly should be six stars

Fantastic experience: Christine and her team at Thrive Movement Studio are “Masters of Motivation”! I have been attending Small Group Training sessions for 1.5 years and I love every minute (even though we jokingly complain when we are working hard)! The workouts are always different, and customize to each person in the group (never more than 5 of us at a time). I have never enjoyed the ‘gym’ until I came to the ‘Studio’. Every month there is a new and exciting challenge, and I often surprise myself. Thank you Christine for your vision, passion and amazing team!

Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Christine's at Thrive Movement from when she first opened in January, 2016. I totally loved it from the very beginning and realized it was exactly the type of fitness program for me. Christine and all the trainers are amazing and not only do we work very hard with very personalized attention, the workouts are varied for every class so you not only never get bored but see awesome results. The environment is very non judgemental and non competitive making you work very hard for your own benefit in the midst of a very fun environment. We have many laughs every class and have all made many new and very special friends. i would highly recommend Christine and her extremely skilled team to anyone looking for a fun and positive fitness approach for any age range.

Fantastic experience: The Small Group Training program has been awesome. I've been in it for almost a year now and look forward to it every week. I feel good, it's hard work made fun.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing SGT at Thrive twice a week for over two years now and absolutely LOVE IT! Christine Hall has put together the perfect "gold standard" model. From the trainers, to the equipment and the facility as a whole, everything is amazing. They cater to you individually but you work as a team with the others. They know "our" strengths and weaknesses and know how to push us when and where required. There is no pressure, but they seem to bring the very best out of everyone. You want to work hard because the instructors work so hard for you. Every class is different so you never get bored. I can't say enough good things about Thrive and the people that work there.

Fantastic experience: I have been attending Thrive since it first opened ...even after a year and half hiatus, I was welcomed back with positive and warm welcomes. I love this studio for its intimate community feel. The trainers get to know you as a person and it feels like working out with friends who care, ask and know about you as an individual. I do the SGT program twice a week and love the accountability the group holds for each other as well as the support and knowledge the trainers give.

Fantastic experience: Christine and her team are amazing! I started with Thrive in Jan 2019 with 1-day/week SGT and now have upped to 2-days/week. I am stronger and feel better. So happy I found a Thrive and it’s awesome team of trainers!

Fantastic experience: Caring and kind trainers in a clean, modern facility.

Fantastic experience: I attend small group training here and there are a great variety of fitness levels in the groups. The instructors get to know you and keep the workouts challenging for each individual while accommodating for injuries, etc. I am very self-conscious in other fitness environments but not once have I felt that way here. Nobody has to keep up with or compare themselves to other people. You just come in and do your work to the best of your ability.

Fantastic experience: Love coming to class here! The instructors and the clients are all super nice and friendly!!

Fantastic experience: Christine Hall is the absolute best personal trainer that I have ever had!!! She is not only knowledgeable at what she does but she truly cares and has so much compassion for helping her clients achieve their goals. I moved with her when she decided to open Thrive Movememt Studio and I am so glad that I did , I love the studios small town charm. Thrive Movement Studio is such a welcoming environment, from personal training and taking a spin class to the youth yoga classes :) All of the trainers and instructors follow Christine's love and passion for health and well being :)

Fantastic experience: Such a welcoming studio. More than your typical gym experience. Amazing trainers that truly want to see you succeed.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic personal trainers and classes!!!
