Congratulations to the Mount Royal men's volleyball Cougars who left Moose Jaw yesterday Champions of the Alberta College Athletic Conference.

The Provincial showdown was hosted by the bronze-medal-winning Briercrest Clippers at the Moose Jaw Field House. The event, the first of its kind at the FieldHouse, saw a temporary floor installed on the southeast quarter of the turf with room for a full-sized volleball court and net. Roughly 500 seats surrounded the court for spectators, and were overflowing with enthusiastic fans during Briercrest games.

FieldHouse staff would like to thank the many volunteers from the Briercrest community who helped the event go off smoothly.

If a New Year’s Resolution brought you through the FieldHouse doors this January, fantastic! If you’re still coming, even better. If the initial ambition is beginning to fade, no worries —  FieldHouse personal trainer Kelly Ventresca has some wise words of advice to address all of the above.

   “To keep yourself on track for the rest of 2012, keep your goals simple and realistic,” says Ventresca. If you go in planning to exercise five times a week you might be setting yourself up for disappointment. “Maybe plan to exercise once or twice a week, and if you go three or four times, then you’re going above and beyond.”

   She also recommends doing a bi-weekly or monthly check and reassessment of your workout plan to decide what might need to change to reach your goals.

   Asking your friends or family to join you for a workout or getting a regular workout buddy makes you more accountable and it’s just more fun.

  Most of all, says Ventresca, if the new year hasn’t cooperated with your fitness ambitions, don’t talk yourself out of them. Just wipe the slate clean.

 “ Always start fresh,” she said. “Don’t worry about the past, just move to the future.”  

This Valentine’s day, keep it sweet and simple with a stroll for two at the Moose Jaw Field House.

     Reconnect with your Valentine as you  spend one-on-one time walking the track. On Valentine’s day the FieldHouse will give lovebirds a special two-for-one rate when they come in together to walk or run.

   If you’re looking to make it a standing date,  FieldHouse staff can  help you with the purchase of a punch-card. Good for 10, 20 or 40 walks, coupled with the promise of quiet evenings spent together, they’re sure to make a thoughtful gift.

        Matching sweats are optional for your romantic

 evening, but if you’re into that, we can set you up. See our front desk staff at least a week in advance about FieldHouse clothing orders.

 We have gift options that are perfect for anyone and everyone.

 Punch cards to use the FieldHouse track are available  in 10, 20, or 40-visit options for adults, families or youth. For those who fall into the 55+ category, we also offer a senior’s punch card for 10 visits during the Seniors’ Walking hours (9-11 a.m., weekdays).

 The FieldHouse track is a fantastic place for a brisk walk, a vigorous run, or simply a leisurely stroll to catch up with an old friend.

If you’ve got someone on your list who likes more variety in their workout, consider a membership to FieldHouse Fitness, the gym located upstairs at the fieldhouse.  Perhaps a personal training session with one of our FieldHouse trainers would be just what a fitness buff ordered, or the right way to kick off a new year’s resolution.

 If you’re shopping for a FieldHouse regular, consider a purchase from our FieldHouse clothing  line. We offer shorts, t-shirts, sweats and hoodies from a youth size small to adult XXL.

  See us at the front desk and let us help you spread some holiday cheer.
