by Henry Gould – July 1st, 2020 Happy Canada Day from Yard Athletics! The first six months of 2020 have been somewhat chaotic (opening a new gym in the middle of a pandemic = stress) so we think it’s time we all sat back on the patio, poured a celebratory drink and said happy birthday to our great country. Making … Read More
by Henry Gould – June 24th, 2020 These are amazing. Really no other way to put it. Dead simple to make, and allows lots of room for tweaking to your taste.

by Henry Gould – June 9th, 2020 The two heavyweights in the pickled cabbage world – kimchi and sauerkraut – have just met their match. Enter pikliz (pronounced “pick-lees”) a spicy pickled cabbage that keeps in the fridge for weeks, and goes with practically anything.

by Henry Gould – April 29th, 2020 If you’re one of those people who is now forced to be isolated from home, living in the “quarantine zone” is all about balance.

by Henry Gould – Jan 29th, 2020 We all know and love the smoothies at Body Energy Club, but at $8+ a pop it can start to add up over the course of a month.

by Henry Gould – Jan 9th, 2019 The holiday season is over, which means power-washing your arteries free of all the cheese and egg nog that is probably still lingering.
