December is busy, heavy, and often overwhelming — which is exactly why we’re creating space for you.

Women of Colour Remake Wellness invites you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with your body at STRONG Pilates Wellington West.
This 45-minute session blends Pilates, strength, and cardio into one energizing, low-impact workout designed to help you reset before the holiday rush takes over.

Think of this as your December pause. A moment to move for yourself, not for your to-do list.

What is STRONG?

STRONG is a next-generation workout concept built on three pillars:

✨ Pilates — controlled, lengthening movements
✨ Cardio — rowing or riding intervals for intensity
✨ Strength — resistance-based training for power & definition

Together, they create a workout that is:

• Low impact but high intensity

• Full-body, energizing, and deeply satisfying

• Built for all fitness levels

• Designed to leave you clear-headed and grounded

It’s everything you need to release stress and refill your cup during the holiday season.

What to Expect

• 45-minute STRONG class led by certified instructors

• A warm, welcoming, supportive environment

• A full-body burn that boosts your mood and melts holiday stress

• Light refreshments after class — stay, rest, and connect

• Time to unwind, reset, and honour yourself

**All ticket sales are final**

This is your permission slip to step away from the busyness and give your body something that feels good.

Climb, Connect, and Empower: An Inclusive Bouldering Session for BIPOC Women

Join us for an exciting and inclusive indoor climbing session designed specifically for BIPOC women of all skill levels! This is a fantastic opportunity to climb, connect, and meet others in a supportive and welcoming environment.

What We’ll Be Doing: Bouldering

Our focus for the evening is bouldering. Bouldering is a dynamic form of rock climbing performed on shorter walls (typically 10 to 15 feet high) without the use of ropes or harnesses. Instead, climbers rely on thick, padded mats for safety when descending. Bouldering is a mental and physical challenge that is excellent for building technique, balance, and core strength, making it a great entry point into the world of climbing!

Guidance from an Expert

We are thrilled to have experienced boulder climber Biatris Lasu walking us through the "how-to." Biatris will be available to offer guidance, demonstrate techniques, and share tips, ensuring a safe and successful session for everyone.

Open to All Skill Levels

Whether you’re a beginner who’s never touched a wall or an experienced climber, this event is open to all. You’ll have the chance to challenge yourself, try something new, and enjoy the company of other women in the community. Come out, climb, make new connections, and have fun!

Important Information

Waivers are Mandatory: All participants must sign the WOCRW 2025 Liability Form and the Altitude Gym Participation Agreement prior to attending the event.

Shoe Rental: The cost of the event does not include climbing shoe rental. If you do not have your own, shoe rentals will be available at the gym for an additional fee of $6.50 (please confirm this price with the gym).
