Christine's Story
(The OG Fit Mama)
When my first daughter was born, I wanted to stay active, feel strong and connect with other moms in my community. Without a studio, I started small—offering fitness classes for moms in local driveways and parks in Etobicoke. That’s how Fit Mama was born: a supportive space where moms could prioritize their health, fitness and well-being while building meaningful connections.
When COVID hit in 2020, our outdoor fitness community quickly grew. Moms came out in droves for our bootcamps, and it became clear we needed a space of our own. Soon after, I opened the first Fit Mama boutique fitness studio in Etobicoke.
Two years later, with my partner Brennan by my side, we dreamed even bigger. In October 2023, we launched Gym & Juice—a family-focused fitness studio designed for busy parents and their kids. With group fitness classes, personal training, onsite childcare, kids’ fitness and a Juice Bar Café, we created a place where the whole family can move, connect and feel at home.
From driveway workouts to a growing family fitness community, our mission has remained the same: to make fitness more accessible for parents and create a space where families can thrive together.
Brennan's Story
(A life in Fitness)
For the past two decades, I’ve lived and breathed fitness, working in gyms and building my expertise in sports and strength training. Fitness has always been personal to me—it’s not just about physical health but about unlocking potential and helping others feel great about themselves. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing someone achieve their goals and discover what they’re truly capable of.
Becoming a dad changed my perspective on life. It taught me to cherish every moment with my kids and embrace the importance of balance. Parenthood doesn’t mean sacrificing your fitness and health—it’s about making it part of your family’s lifestyle. Plus, it's even more important now to stay strong for not only yourself, but your family.
At Gym & Juice, we hope to inspire families to stay active together, creating a space where workouts become a shared experience and a cornerstone of a healthy, happy life.
