Who is LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic? We think of ourselves as the “anti-gym.” At LIVE WELL, we focus on how you feel, not how you look. This isn’t the place to lose weight as fast as possible or to learn to be a competitive athlete. At LIVE WELL you will fit in, feel comfortable and find exercise fun, social and inspiring!

COST: $297 is your portion of the fee. MennoPlace and LIVE WELL Exercise Clinic are covering the balance of your fee. (IMPORTANT: On your application form, you will notice that it states the fee is $597, please still check this box since you and your Employer/LIVE WELL are sharing the cost)

Applications close December 31^st.

Once you register, contact Jeanette Lee, Jeanette.lee@mennoplace.ca and the Employer will cover the balance of your fee!

You do not need to be in good shape to start. This program is designed for beginners!

Who Are We Looking For?

I can attend exercise sessions at the clinic twice per week.

I am willing to leave fear and judgement at the door.

I am eager and ready to change my lifestyle LONG TERM, not just adapt my life for 12 weeks.

I want to have a fun, social and inspiring experience while being part of a community of like-minded women who support and encourage one another.

I am committed to the entire 12 weeks because I know the beginning is always the toughest.

I am willing to spend time being introspective and reflective on my current lifestyle because I value my health, even though I am not living in line with those values right now.

I am open to be coached. I am willing to start doing what I know I should be doing for my health.

I am open to finding the joy in the PROCESS and creating the healthy habits that will lead to success.

I accept that this is not about rapid weight loss or diets, this is about HEALTH and quality of life. Health comes in all shapes and sizes.

I am willing to celebrate myself and others!

Having a tough time at Christmas? Confidential assistance to help with life and work…

December 13, 2016/in News

Menno Place is a employer who cares about your life and your work.

Christmas can be a tough time. Extra pressures on the family and finances can be a part of the season. There may be memories of loved ones that you are grieving or loneliness as you make it through the celebrations without them. Christmas is a time when addictions can become overwhelming. You may need support – and you don’t know where to turn.

Turn to the Employee and Family Assistance Program. We proved the Employee and Family Assistance Program to our employees at no charge. This is a confidential phone line that can help you deal with difficulty in life. Completely confidential, Menno Place is given a very simple report of the numbers of employees using the service. It can not be linked back to an individual employee. What a relief! If you need more help (counselling sessions), that is also arranged for you at no charge.

This help is available 24/7 for you and your family. Do you need some counselling in a crisis? Some personal counselling? Would it help to have someone who can help you with work/life services (like a life coach)?

As we come to January 1st, there are many New Year’s resolutions that take place. Will you get support with your resolutions this year?

Will you get support with your smoking cessation resolution? What about nutritional counselling or financial coaching / credit counselling? Is this the year that you break your addiction – to gambling, alcohol, drugs or internet?

This is an opportunity that costs you nothing but courage. Calling is a way of saying that you want your life to improve, you want to help your family, you want to be free.

From time to time, we all deal with difficulty in life. Most often, we can deal with life’s challenges ourselves, or with the help of family or friends. But sometimes it can be helpful to talk to a trained professional – someone who is objective, caring and experienced at helping with the particular issue you’re facing.
