Let's Welcome Stephanie Kus and Paluna Santamaria to Urbanfitt

Urbanfitt has some exciting changes to announce!

But first a moment to say how much we already miss Sara-Clare who recently moved to Montreal :) Whaawhaa.

We have two new instructors who recently joined us at Urbanfitt.



I'd like to introduce Stephanie Kus as part of our fabulous group of Urbanfitt instructors. We know each other from way back in the Level Five days. It was my very good fortune that Goodlife bought Eclipse October 1st. There has been a westward migration since many of the individuals who once flourished there do not fit into the corporate culture that is Goodlife.

So join me in welcoming Stephanie Kus to Urbanfitt. She's teaching Saturday Urban Warrior - Circuit Strength class. If you'd like to register for the next Saturday six class session starting December 3rd, do it now by emailing help@urbanfitt or give us a ring at 416.964.3309. We reserve space when full payment is received.

Stephanie has been a fitness professional since 2002 bringing a strong focus on functional training with proper form and technique to provide safe and effective workouts to class participants and personal training clients. She has taught indoor cycling, body sculpting, plyometrics, Swiss ball, and circuit training and loves to motivate people to challenge themselves and realize the potential of their own bodies. Her training background includes crossfit, yoga, Olympic lifting, martial arts, cycling and kettlebell work. In her spare time Steph enjoys getting out on long early morning bike rides as well as hitting the park with her two dogs Casper and Obi.



And a big welcome to Paluna who came to us through Sara-Clare. She has taken over Sara-Clare's Kettlebell MMA class on Monday nights. She's a one of a kind woman and a gift to have at Urbanfitt. To reserve your space for the next Monday session, do it now! It starts Monday December 5th.

Paluna started her movement exploration journey at a young age. Coming from a family where her father devoted half of his life to the practice of yoga, she was introduced to the discipline at the age of 5. Always curious and fascinated by the human body, she has practised a wide variety of sports and martial arts as well as joining a swimming team for three consecutive years and getting a Pilates certification in 2004.
Now certified as a Personal Trainer with specialties in pre/post natal, post rehab, kettlebell training and yoga she dedicates her life entirely to teaching.
Completely convinced of the healing qualities of movement not only on a physical, but an emotional level, she enjoys helping participants find that discipline that makes them smile and feel happy to the bone. “If you enjoy it, you’ll stick to it” Paluna says.
Paluna brings her expertise to Urbanfitt as an instructor and trainer.

  1. There is only one problem with her that nobody knows.She is very distant from family!Or maybe she is too busy doing her thing and just can't find time to say hi or how are you to the family she never met.I think she is self centered,your uncle,Dave. Oh,by the way,i still have your picture in my photo album you wanted me to delete.Love you and keep up the good work in Toronto.
