More Than Exercise — A Community
At Jade Health Group, movement is about connection. Many members come looking for fitness but stay because they find encouragement, friendship, and a group of like-minded people. You are not just attending a class, you are joining a community.

Meet Your Instructors
Steve and Jimmy, certified black belts in Shaolin Kung Fu, having trained under Sifu David Greenland, a 32nd generation Shaolin Temple Warrior Monk himself. They honed their skills at Emerald Dragon Martial Arts and received their black belts in July 2019.
But their passion for teaching goes beyond their own black belts. Even before achieving that rank, they were already guiding students on their martial arts journeys.
Leveraging their experience, they joined forces to create the Jade Fitness & FUNctional Movement program. This class isn't just about exercise; it's a community specifically designed for people over 50 to get moving again. The current age of the class ranges from 51 to those in their 70's, and everyone moves at their own pace, yet works together. It's a supportive environment where every step counts, and encouragement is endless.
Steve and Jimmy's goals go beyond just staying in shape. They want to help you reclaim your vitality and rediscover the joy of movement.

Jimmy and Steve talking about why they started the class and the benefits of it.
I asked a few students if they were happy to do a quick video explaining their view on the class. They had no rehearsal, we just clipped on the mic's and this is what came up.
