Growth Mindset Co. was responsible for site set-up, equipment orders, staffing the centre and for ongoing activity development and facilitation.
Weir Active is not your typical fitness centre
INSTEAD OF PERFORMANCE WE PRIORITIZE PLAY
Sometimes it is important to celebrate just by showing up. At Weir Active we don’t count sets and reps, instead, we will work on listening to what our body needs at any given moment. Research tells us that play is important as we develop.
INSTEAD OF BODY METRICS, WE FOCUS ON ENERGY AND MOOD
Isn’t the point of getting active to feel better? Our energy levels and mood can be our biggest indicators of well-being. It Isn’t about feeling great everyday as much as it is about feeling a little better than you did when you walked in.
