There is a relatively new book on the market called “Ghosts of Fundy and Fatalities of the Sea” by Frank Taylor. Looks like a great read. For more information you can read the blog posting at the Annapolis Royal Heritage blog.

Barbara Nicholls is proud to announce the opening of her fitness and wellness studio in Picturesque Hampton, Nova Scotia, a tranquil seaside community, on November 1st 2011.

Her new facility offers a multi-dimensional holistic practice for a one to one exercise experience. Barbelles features cardio equipment such as treadmill, spinner bikes, recumbent bike, and elliptical machine. You will also find a universal gym a “total gym”, a ”Pilates reformer”, stability ball instruction and various free weight equipment. All on the comfort of a 3/4″ rubber floor.

Other services include massage, nutritional coaching, and in-home instruction, for those who prefer to work-out in the comfort of their own home with their own equipment.

They are also introducing a FAR INFRARED SOLO SAUNA. This sauna offers the latest technology, and is scientifically proven in detoxification, arthritis, relief of pain, restores proper circulation in hands and feet, and helps to improve the appearance of cellulite. This FAR INFRARED sauna differs from regular infra-red saunas by deeper heat penetration. The heat goes down to the water molecule, and this molecule begins to vibrate or shake vigorously, allowing the toxins to be released. The solo sauna is designed in such a way that one person at a time lies down face up, on a heated mat, with a series of two far infrared domes over the top of the body allowing the head to remain out of the sauna.

The break down of fees are as follows:
Personal Training
1hr a week@ $50/hr
2hrs a week@ $35/hr(70 total)
3hrs a week@$25/hr(75total)
