At the Training Zone
“Focus. Challenge yourself everyday!” These are the words that Francis and Joyce live by, the owners of The Training Zone. Francis, a personal trainer and serving at the Canadian Armed Forces created the Training Zone with his wife Joyce, who is a fitness instructor. We spent a fun Friday night together hearing about their experiences, and Francis led us through a few partner exercises. The workout session was invigorating! And, it was delightful to hear how they are inspiring others through exercising.
