While December may claim the title for holiday cheer, June is truly the MO’st Wonderful Time of the Year for those of us passionate about fitness, health, and movement! This month is bursting with opportunities to energize our communities and elevate the conversation around active living in Canada and globally.
On June 7th, we celebrate National Health & Fitness Day—a powerful initiative encouraging Canadians to get up, get out, and get moving in pursuit of becoming the fittest nation on Earth. On my latest episode of A MO’ment with MO, I had the pleasure of speaking with Erin Phelan, an award-winning fitness professional and passionate advocate who brings this mission to life. This high-impact conversation will inspire you to move more for yourself and your community.
Later in the month, on June 21, we observe International Yoga Day—a global invitation to reconnect with our breath, body, and intention. My conversation with Jen Hamilton, CEO of Oxygen Yoga & Fitness, highlighted how yoga offers more than movement—it provides transformation. Jen also shares her inspiring entrepreneurial journey as the visionary behind one of the fastest-growing fitness franchise empires in Canada. Don’t miss her preview of FUSIONFEST, Oxygen’s exciting new event debuting in Toronto this August!
These podcast episodes are more than just great listens—they’re invitations. Invitations to move, to lead, and to show up—for ourselves, for each other, and for our future.
And speaking of showing up… the canfitpro Global Conference & Tradeshow 2025 is just around the corner! Taking place August 15–16 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, this 32nd annual event returns with the empowering theme SOAR—a call to rise above challenges, embrace innovation, and reach new heights in fitness, wellness, and leadership.
With over 230 interactive masterclasses, the event offers hands-on learning across disciplines including functional training, injury prevention, business growth strategies, and emerging fitness technologies. On the Trade Show floor, you’ll discover the calming Zen Zone, high-energy sessions and competitions on the Activity Stage, and thrilling performances on the Performance Stage. Keynote speakers include Orlando Bowen, resilience coach and motivational powerhouse; Dr. Anna Swisher, global expert in coach education and high-performance sport; and Mike Lipkin, internationally renowned speaker and master of influence. Together with 210 presenters, they’ll empower you to grow, lead, and—most of all—SOAR.
June is alive with purpose and possibility. So, tune in, stretch out, and join me in celebrating the MO’mentum that truly makes this the MO’st wonderful time of the year!
