Find
your beach.
A community of fitness, travel and culture explorers. The ActivePace check-in launches at partner gyms this September. Monthly fitness classes and Active Hikes through autumn and winter. Blissful Barbados at La Maison Michelle in April.
Three things,
done seriously.
FitnessBeach holds events, retreats, and the ActivePace check-in programme. Three things, designed for you, unique and fun, built around social culture.
Designed for you
Positive motivators. Exercises and experiences geared toward you. Monthly Active Hikes in Trillium Park, the Gatineau, Mount Royal — three paces, one regroup.
Unique and fun
Lifelong appreciation. If it's not fun, we don't do it. Mind + Body Sessions co-facilitated by a movement professional and a therapist.
Social culture
Community of support. Learning from each other is inspiring. Blissful Barbados — seven mornings at La Maison Michelle, yoga on the deck, chef on call.
The Year.
An immersive
wellness journey.
An immersive fitness and travel year, running September through April. The retreat at La Maison Michelle closes the journey.
FitnessBeach Year 01 runs September 2026 to April 2027. An eight-month programme that starts at a partner gym with the ActivePace check-in, continues with monthly Mind + Body Sessions and Active Hikes through autumn and winter, and closes with the April retreat at La Maison Michelle. Five steps below. The more you show up, the more you get out of it.
Start at your partner gym
If your gym is on the FitnessBeach ActivePace Partner network, you're on the on-ramp. If it's not yet, ask us about adding it.
See partner gyms →Take the ActivePace check-in
Once a year, free with membership. Fitness assessment, nutrition consultation, mental-health connection. Surfaces what your Year should focus on.
About ActivePace →A practitioner on InnaPace
If the check-in surfaces something ongoing — a therapist, dietitian, RMT — the handoff is warm. Culturally informed care, by referral.
Visit InnaPace →Show up monthly
Active Hikes and Mind + Body Sessions through autumn and winter. Same faces, real relationships. Twice a month, give or take.
Coming up →Barbados,
the year's close
Seven mornings at La Maison Michelle. Not strangers from the internet — the people you've already shared a year with.
Read the itinerary →Built for every pace.
The Year runs on three tracks. The on-ramp is the same — a partner gym, the ActivePace check-in. The cadence and content of what comes next shifts to match the body and the season of life. Pick the one that's yours, or start in one and move between them.
The Foundations
track
For members new to a fitness routine or stepping back into one. Slower pace, gentler programming, more onboarding from Donovan and the team.
- Family-friendly Active Hikes (5 km, flat)
- Mind + Body sessions on stress, sleep, motivation
- One-on-one onboarding with Donovan after the check-in
- April retreat: the regular Barbados week
The Active
track
For members already in routine — the gym regulars, the runners, the long-time FitnessBeach community. Full pace, deeper content, more programming.
- Standard Active Hikes (8–12 km, varied terrain)
- Mind + Body sessions on performance, identity, recovery
- Inter-gym Active Hikes co-hosted with partner facilities
- April retreat: the regular Barbados week
The Elders
track
For members 60+. Most wellness brands skip this lane. FitnessBeach makes it central. Pace is slower, content is different, partners are senior-focused.
- Slower Active Hikes (3–5 km, rest stops, gentle terrain)
- Mind + Body on grief, loneliness, mobility, intergenerational connection
- Modified ActivePace check-in (falls prevention, cognitive health)
- April retreat: same week, senior-paced programming — yin yoga, beach walks, shared evenings
Blissful
Barbados.
Seven days at La Maison Michelle. The villa is yours: pool deck, eight bedrooms, chef on call. Mornings open with yoga on the lawn or open water swims in Carlisle Bay. Afternoons are unscheduled on purpose. Evenings are long and slow. With the people you've already shared a year with.
Coming up.
First events publish in September. Sign up below to hear when.

check-in.
Once a year at a partner gym: fitness assessment, nutrition consultation, mental-health connection. Three referrals out where they're needed — to a practitioner on the InnaPace directory if it's care, back to your gym if it's training. Step 02 of The Year for every member.
