Duck Duck Juice + Gym

 

Duck Duck Juice + Gym is a health-driven labour of love being brought to the people of Wingham by local residents Hailey and Cody McCann. When the couple originally opened their 24 hr fitness centre just up the street from their current location, they were hoping  to create a space in Wingham where people can feel supported as they work towards living happier, healthier lives. Now that they’ve made the move to their new location at 164 Josephine St, the dynamic duo have been expanding the offerings of their gym to include an array of classes, including strength training, meditation, and both restorative and Vinyasa yoga. 

Exercise is a big part of the McCanns’ overall ethos for living well, but they are also working to help provide proper fuel for the body. That’s where the ‘Juice’ part of ‘Duck Duck Juice + Gym’ comes into play. This March will mark the re-opening of the gym’s juice and smoothie bar, which serves healthy drinks and coffee. Unlike the rest of the gym, which does require a membership, the sip n shop smoothie bar is open to the public. Healthy versions of familiar flavour combos, like peanut butter and jelly and piña colada have already proved popular  with Winghamites looking for a mid-day boost or an afternoon treat. They also make a take on a Tim Horton’s Iced Capp that has a whole lot less refined sugar and a lot more protein. 

The McCanns also hope to make cleaner eating more approachable. Hailey advocates for developing a positive attitude towards food by making straightforward meals with simple ingredients. Her meal prep recipes include dishes like taco bowls,  chicken with vegetables, chili, cheeseburger salad and beef stir fry. Like her smoothie recipes, Hailey strives to provide customers with easy food options that aren’t just good for them, but something that they actually look forward to. So stop in at Duck Duck Juice + Gym the next time you’re looking for a sweet treat that’s also good for you! 164 Josephine St, Wingham
