Pillow Drive Extended – Let’s Keep It Going!

Summer tends to slow things down—especially in this heat - but community care doesn’t take a vacation, and neither do the needs in our city.

At DC Fitness, we believe in showing up—not just for our workouts, but for each other and our wider KW community. That’s why we jumped in when one of our amazing members invited us to be part of a pillow drive benefiting local shelters, women’s homes, and community housing.

🧡 Pillows are a small but critical item—and something many community organizations are actively short on. Your donation can help someone in transition, in crisis, or in healing find a soft place to lay their head.

You’ll still find the Pillow Donation Pile near The Cave—and we’re extending the drive through July 11 to give more of us a chance to join in.

➡️ How to Help.... Bring in a new pillow the next time you’re at the gym and place it in the collection area. It’s a simple way to make a big difference.

🎥 Want to learn more? Check out this short video from last year’s drive to see the heart behind it.

Have questions? Reach out to a staff member, or ask our awesome member Leslie who’s helping lead this effort!

STILL ACCEPTING PILLOW DONATIONS!

Calling on our DC Community! For the month of June we are helping a local community group with "The Pillow Project". We're collecting (new) pillow donations for Waterloo's supported housing (shelters, women's homes, etc)! This project was brought to us by one of our DC members (thanks Leslie!) and we are super excited to help!

Tips for Staying Hydrated During Hot Weather Workouts...

Drink Plenty of Water: Before, during, and after your workout, make sure to drink sufficient water. Aim to consume at least 8 ounces of water every 15-20 minutes during exercise.

Replenish Electrolytes: When you sweat, you lose essential electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium. Consider sports drinks or electrolyte-enhanced beverages to replenish these vital minerals, especially during intense or prolonged workouts

Plan Ahead: Hydrate adequately before your workout to start off well-hydrated. Additionally, check the weather forecast, adjust the intensity or duration of your workout.

Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to signs of dehydration, such as excessive thirst, dark urine, dizziness, or fatigue. If you experience any of these symptoms, take a break, find shade, and hydrate immediately.

Want your practice to be the top-listed Clinic in Kitchener?

At DC Fitness, We Get You the Results You Want.

DC Fitness is a private 1-on-1 training & bootcamp studio specializing in working with everyday people who have struggled to get in shape in the past and those working around injuries.

Our mission is to help you lose weight, feel incredible and gain the confidence that you need in order to achieve your inner Superhero potential.

Above all, our focus is on helping you to develop a sustainable plan that you can ACTUALLY STICK WITH over the long-term.

Our Motto is:

“If you can’t see yourself doing this in 5-years, it’s not the right plan for you.”

Our approach to helping you get in shape rests on 3 pillars:

Planning & Preparation - Without a plan, you are destined to fail. As the saying goes, “failing to plan = planning to fail”. At the start of each season we go in depth on planning in order to ensure that you are set-up with a game plan for success.

Professional Accountability - Put bluntly, most of us suck at keeping ourselves accountable, and it’s one of the top reasons people fail to reach their goals. That’s why we have developed a personalized accountability & progress tracking system to help you stay on track and motivated throughout your time with us!

Environmental Exposure - Being around others who are motivated, like-minded and on track with their fitness goals will create an atmosphere where you feel supported, connected and driven to improve. We firmly believe that you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time around.

Sound like something you would be into? We’d love to have you out!

To come in and check us out, email Derek at derek@derekcolvin.com, or drop by our website dcfitness.ca.

We can’t wait to meet you!!

Sincerely,

Derek & The DC Fitness Team
