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.
Kettlebell classes are outdoors through the spring/summer/fall season. They will be delivered via Zoom in wet weather and through the winter months.

Kettlebell Fitness Training
Kettlebell classes are held outdoors in the spring, summer, and fall at:
Cambrian Heights Community Association
600 Northmount Drive NW • Calgary AB
And are held online via Zoom during the winter months or when the weather is inclement.
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.

Let’s FACE it Together™ (LFIT) Facial Exercise
Improve facial expression, confidence, and fight the signs of aging in a natural way!
Most people will spend time and money going to a fitness class to work on strengthening the muscles in their body, but few people spend time strengthening the muscles in their face and neck. Just as the muscles in our arms and legs will strengthen when we embark on a fitness program, the muscles in our face and neck will strengthen and tighten when we exercise them.
Let’s FACE It Together™ program can also be used to rehabilitate and restore muscle function in the face. Research shows that people who have suffered facial muscle trauma have been able to regain facial movements by increasing their facial muscle strength. Those affected by Parkinson’s disease, strokes, and many muscular degenerative diseases can keep their facial muscles functioning to their best ability when adding facial exercises into their daily routines.
You can’t help but laugh as you experience all the funny faces we make during this half hour class. All you need to bring to this class is your sense of humour!
I Am Ageless Now™ Method
What does it mean to be ageless?
Aging isn’t just skin deep. It’s about wellness, movement, attitude, habits, mindset, and nutrition.
I think we can all agree, that whatever our chronological age, we want to enjoy life pain free and with more energy, flexibility, mobility, and strength.
Whether you are in your 40’s, your 80’s, or somewhere in between, daily activities and movements that were once easy and enjoyable may be a tad more challenging or may even be painful.
High impact sports, the wrong diet, high heels, too much time in front of the computer or television…eventually, these things impact our mobility and flexibility.
The “I Am Ageless Now™ Method” promotes a more vital, active, and pain-free lifestyle, whatever your age or stage of life. Using a foam roller and/or tennis ball, we will massage to keep our fascia flexible, use gentle movement to lubricate our joints and promote better mobility and flexibility, and use our body weight to train for our active and functional life.
Come experience this rejuvenating body, mind, and spirit session for yourself, and enjoy life pain free with more energy, flexibility, mobility, and strength.
Yoga mat, bare feet, and a tennis ball or small massage ball. Optional – foam roller, Pilate’s ball, or small throw cushion. A chair can be at hand should you require it for balance during the standing portion of the class.
“Rest, Relax, and Restore”
Resuming Tuesdays in January 2023 at 7:00 pm!
This one-hour online session is based upon the head-to-toe wellness benefits of the I Am Ageless Now™ program. Come experience this rejuvenating body, mind, and spirit session for yourself, and enjoy life pain free with more energy, flexibility, mobility, and strength.
Turn the lights down, grab your favorite essential oil, unplug from your devices, and enjoy a relaxing and restorative, mid-week, evening wind down.
Yoga mat, bare feet, and a tennis ball or small massage ball. Optional – foam roller, Pilate’s ball, Glider disks. (See FAQs section for alternative equipment options.)

Nordic Walking
Move your body, boost your mood, and enjoy the beauty of nature that surrounds us, all year round!
Nordic Walking is a year-round activity that is not only a ton of fun to experience, but it also takes us out into nature, giving us the opportunity to enjoy all the amazing pathway systems that Calgary has to offer.
Nordic Walking burns up to 46% more calories than standard walking, activates the core and sculpts arms and shoulders. In fact, Nordic walking uses 90 percent of your muscles—especially those underused upper body muscles and contributes to great posture and improved balance. The smooth rhythmic action of walking presents a distraction from everyday concerns and lifts your mood. It is also a terrific way to stay active with all members of the family, young and old alike. It 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 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.
