Squats & Tots
2026-05-22 11:00 - 12:00 (America/Edmonton) | Frank Wills Memorial Hall, 405 1st Street E, Cochrane, Alberta
Bodyweight fun for parents & little ones! Squats & Tots builds strength, balance, and bonding through playful, functional movement.
👶💪 Squats & Tots
Squats & Tots is a fun, high-energy bodyweight class designed for parents, caregivers, and their little ones. This interactive workout blends strength training, functional movement, and playful bonding activities so you can build fitness while making memories together.
Each session focuses on movements that support real-life parenting — lifting, carrying, squatting, reaching, and stabilizing — all while keeping your child engaged and involved.
When you attend, you can expect:
A welcoming, judgment-free environment
Parent-and-child interactive exercises
Safe, coach-led instruction
Play-based movement for toddlers
A workout that challenges you and entertains them
Smiles, laughter, and connection
Each class includes a dynamic warm-up, strength and core work, playful partner movements, balance activities, and a gentle cooldown.
👥 Who Is This Class For?
Squats & Tots is designed for parents, grandparents, and caregivers with toddlers or young children. It’s perfect for all fitness levels — whether you’re getting back into exercise, or already active.
Children typically range from pre-walking age through preschool, but all little personalities are welcome!
🏋️ Do I Need Any Equipment?
No special equipment is required! This is a bodyweight-focused class. We provide mats and occasionally use light props or playful equipment to keep little ones engaged. Just bring comfortable clothes, water, and anything your child may need.
💪 What Types of Exercises Will We Do?
Classes may include:
Squats (with or without holding your little one)
Lunges and step variations
Core strengthening exercises
Partner carries and lifts
Balance and stability movements
Play-based cardio bursts
Stretching and mobility work
Every movement is adaptable — you can modify intensity while your child participates at their own pace.
🩺 Is This Class Safe for Returning Parents?
Yes! Exercises are adjustable to meet individual needs and recovery stages. We emphasize proper form, core engagement, and gradual progression. If you are newly postpartum or have medical concerns, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before attending.
📈 How Fit Do I Need to Be to Join?
No prior fitness experience is required. You can move at your own pace, take breaks as needed, and modify exercises to suit your comfort level. The goal is progress — not perfection.
🧸 What If My Child Doesn’t Participate the Whole Time?
That’s completely normal! Children are welcome to move in and out of activities. We create a flexible environment where kids can play nearby while you continue your workout. No pressure, no stress.
🌟 Can I Attend If I’ve Never Exercised Before?
Absolutely! This class is beginner-friendly and supportive. We guide you through every movement and help you build confidence safely and gradually.
📅 How Often Should I Attend for Best Results?
We recommend attending 2–3 times per week for noticeable improvements in strength, endurance, and energy levels. Even once a week is a great way to stay active and connected.
👟 What Should I Wear?
Wear comfortable athletic clothing and supportive shoes. Bring water for you and snacks or essentials for your little one.
If you’re ready to build strength, boost energy, and bond with your child in a fun, supportive community, Squats & Tots is the perfect place to start. 💛

Build Your AI Digital Team in 3 Hours - Hands-On Workshop for Cochrane Entrepreneurs
2026-05-23 10:00 - 13:00 | The Station, 360 Railway St W, Cochrane, AB, Canada
Most entrepreneurs have tried ChatGPT and closed the tab in 5 minutes. The problem isn’t AI – it’s the approach.
This is a hands-on, 3-hour workshop where you build on your own business and walk out with three real assets:
✦ Your Brand DNA document – your archetype, voice, and audience, locked in
✦ 3 AI digital teammates inside your Claude Project – Brand Strategist, Sales Copywriter, Landing Page Designer, all trained on your business
✦ A working HTML sales page – ready to go live in any browser
Plus a 30-day action plan to put it all to work the Monday after.
This is not a lecture about AI. This is not “prompt engineering.” This is 3 hours in a room with no distractions, building working assets that pay off Monday morning.
WHO IT’S FOR:
Solopreneurs and small business owners (from Cochrane or Calgary). You’ve used ChatGPT casually but never integrated it. You feel like you’re doing everything yourself and can’t keep up with content.
WHAT YOU NEED TO BRING:
A laptop, basic info about your business (what you sell, who you serve, current website if you have one), and 3 hours of focus. We’ll provide the rest – including a workbook, lifetime templates, and 20 SKILL.md files (your full team-in-a-box).
DATE: Saturday, May 23, 2026
TIME: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM
WHERE: The Station
SEATS: Only 20 (in-person only)
EARLY BIRD PRICING: $247 (until May 13) · Regular: $297
REGISTER: branddna.orangespace.io
