Finding out when and where a yoga class or a fitness class is taking place can be difficult in Strathmore and Wheatland County if you don’t know where to look. 
A new website, www.wheatlandfitness.ca will be launched in 2012  -the date is still to be determined – that will provide a one-stop shop for all your fitness needs. 
“I know myself and a few of my friends find it very frustrating to find out classes and fitness things that are happening in Strathmore and Wheatland County. There are some great classes going on but no one knows about them unless somebody, who knows somebody, knows somebody,” said Tracy Stokoe. 
“I’m just trying to promote a community-based website. I think it would really improve the fitness in Strathmore and let people know what’s happening.”
The website will have a calendar which will list what classes are happening when and where. There will be a link to each club and instructor, and Stokoe said there will be a different instructor featured in a weekly bio. 
Wheatlandfitness.ca will also be focusing on instructors’ credentials so people looking for a class can be reassured the instructor is trained to teach that class. 
“I’m trying to make it very user friendly. Kids events, adults, older adults and special events, for example the triathlon or stuff like that, that’s happening,” said Stokoe. 
“The main goal is to get people out and about, and just have it all in one spot, so it’s all consolidated in one spot for all things fitness in Wheatland County.”
Stokoe said she is still looking for instructors to add to the website and anyone interested can contact wheatlandfitness@gmail.com
