Fun & Fearless Fitness
Taking the fear out of fitness...
Joining a fitness class should never be scary.
Fitness should become a part of our daily routine because it’s fun, we love the activity, we are inspired by the instructor, and we enjoy the people we work out with.
We should look forward to the opportunity to work out and de-stress at the end of a long day, not dread it.
At Scary Bunny, our classes are created with all ages and fitness levels in mind.
Whether you are 40 plus and new to fitness, or an active ager, we want you to feel successful, strong and empowered when you leave any one of our workouts. Scary Bunny is a community of fit and happy people that are enjoying life to the fullest because we can!
Indoor fitness classes are currently being delivered online via Zoom. Nordic Walking classes continue outdoors all year round and follow the most current and recommended AHS safety protocols.

Experience the feeling of empowerment that comes from a strong mind and a strong body with Kettlebell training!
Our bodies were designed to move. From the time we are born, our bodies learn to crawl, walk, run, kick, hop and jump. Our daily lives require us to squat, turn, twist, pull, push, and lift. So often we focus our fitness routine on cardio training alone. We forget that we need to also train our bodies for longevity and injury prevention by working on our strength, coordination, balance, reaction time and flexibility skills.
Swinging a kettlebell (or two!) will not only increase your heart rate without any impact on your joints, but it will also train your body to be stronger and more confident. By incorporating martial arts motion into the workout, we also improve our flexibility, mobility, and reaction time.
Think personal training in a group fitness environment. This workout is all about YOU!
YOUR fitness level today, YOUR individual fitness goals, and YOUR personal physical considerations.
All fitness levels welcome.
Yoga mat and kettlebell (or weight), bare feet or workout shoes. Most students begin their training journey with a 10lb (4kg) kettlebell. They average in price around $2.00+ per lb.

Chair One Fitness
Chair Cardio Fitness will have you dancing in your seat!
Chair Fitness is a seated exercise class designed for individuals who have concerns about standing during a fitness class. This includes active older adults, people with balance challenges, injuries, disabilities, pregnant, or suffering from obesity.
This class delivers a fun, interactive and uplifting “dance” experience to music, while providing a total body workout, all from a seated position.
This class enables everyone to stay active mentally and physically, no matter their age and ability.
Come dance with us!
55+ Seated Cardio Dance, Strength, Stretch
This 55+ active adult class will flow from a seated, uplifting cardio “dance” experience, to standing strength, to the mat for core work, and end with a well-deserved final stretch. Music will move us as we build cardiovascular endurance and muscle strength, train our core, and improve our balance, flexibility, and mobility throughout this choreographed class.
We will be incorporating the following into the strength and stretch part of our workout. Please bring:
- Yoga mat (towel)
- 2-Hand-held weights
- Small Pilates or Bender Ball(TM) (rolled up and secured towel or a small throw pillow/bolster)
- 2-gliding discs (2-paper plates)
- fitness bands (yoga strap)
This class is suitable for all fitness levels. Participants need to be able to get down and up off the floor.
Nordic Walking
Move your body, boost your mood, and enjoy the beauty of nature that surrounds us, all year round!
New Mom’s, Active Ager’s, and Everyone In-Between!
Did you know that Nordic Walking Fitness:
- Is NOT specifically a Senior or Older Adult activity? It’s for everyone.
- Burns up to 46% more calories than standard walking, activates the core and sculpts arms and shoulders.
- Uses 90 percent of your muscles—especially those underused upper body muscles, contributing to great posture and improved balance at any age.
Whatever your age, Nordic Walking is a terrific way to be both social and active with friends and family. It’s also a great way for new Moms to get back into fitness – strap on your child carrier and get outside for some fresh air and a change of scenery. Nordic Walking is an all-in-one energizing, mood boosting, cardio and muscle building fitness activity for all ages and abilities.
Learn the benefits of walking with Nordic Walking fitness poles, the differences between fitness poles and hiking poles, and how to set their height to obtain optimal results when walking with them. We will then take them to the street and learn the “plant, push, and propel” technique that makes this activity such a great full body, cardio, core, and strength workout.
“Private, semi-private and group lessons available.”
All fitness levels welcome! Nordic walking poles are provided for use in class and are sanitized prior to use.
Contact me for more information on our upcoming classes or to arrange a private, semi-private lesson. Private and semi-private classes (60 minutes) are ideal for people who prefer to learn at their own pace and at a time and location that’s most convenient for them.

Nordic Walking and Strength Fusion
Sometimes, we bunnies like to get outside and get back to our roots!
City or urban pathway, Nordic walking is a great, all season way to do that, but imagine the benefits of your outdoor adventure if you added some upper and lower body strength and core conditioning exercises also!
Move your fitness class outdoors and work out in Mother Nature’s playground!
Everything is right there for your use and enjoyment. We incorporate trees, park benches, playground equipment, hills, and steps with our own body weight to increase the benefits of Nordic walking even further.
Calgary has such an amazing pathway system! Explore the beauty and health benefits that they provide with our 4-week course.
