I don’t know about you, but this hail-ice-rain-snow is giving me the blues. All I can think about is how I’d like to be somewhere other than Winterforeverland, doing something other than putting on my WINTER JACKET in THE SPRING.

If you’re in need of some freedom, too, but, like, me, don’t have the fund$ to jet off to Hawaii, s’all good: there are ways to escape without ever leaving the province. Take, for example, “Fit and Fierce”—the third retreat brought to you by Horseshoe, a Skyline Resort and FIT CHICKS.

Horseshoe is a gorgeous facility located in Barrie, meaning it’s only an hour outside of the GTA. It has all kinds of fun activities on-site including a spa, a rock climbing wall, horseback riding, zip lining, and more. The resort is partnering with FIT CHICKS, a fitness program, for a weekend of exercise, nutrition, and wellness. The weekend takes place May 17-19, and includes two nights’ accommodations at the Horseshoe’s Inn (which was recently renovated, holla!), as well as a custom-designed FIT CHICK itinerary.

The weekend is all-inclusive, meaning you’ll get served a delicious and healthy menu by Horseshoe’s award-winning chef, Dylan Tulloch. As far as workshops and activities go, you’ll enjoy things like a Zumba fitness party, a yoga workshop, a FIT CHICKS Fitness Challenge, and a Q&A to answer all your nutrition questions.

So like, screw this weather. We deserve a break!

Early bird rates are available from $379/person (based on double occupancy) if you book before April 15. Can’t make the retreat in May? You are in luck, dear readers, because two more weekends (August 9-11 and November 8-10) are in the works. For more information or to register, click here or phone 1-877-F1-CHICK.
