OAKVILLE – The Chopped Leaf today announced a partnership with IMPACT Magazine as they host this year’s Canadian Top Fitness Instructors Virtual Awards Gala. As a brand recognizing the need for food offering both quality and flavour, The Chopped Leaf will be providing each instructor a meal, as a way to thank those who support our physical and mental health. And while restrictions have limited our capabilities to gather and celebrate, the show must go on.

IMPACT Magazine provides Canadians with expert advice on health, fitness, and sports performance since the fall of 1991. Now, in their 30^th year, IMPACT is nationally known as one of the longest standing, independently owned and trusted magazine brands in Canada.

The implications of COVID-19 and the halt it has put on people’s fitness goals and overall sense of well-being has been difficult, but relying on physical activity for a mental and physical relief never went away. It is because of the ability and commitment to adapt to ever-changing circumstances that fitness instructors have been able to continue offering classes and workshops to people across the country - virtually. But at the core of it all, is the desire to help and the belief that physical fitness can help save a lot of people, especially during times of such stress and constraint.

It is IMPACTS’ principle that everyone deserves access to credible, quality fitness and health content in order to live the best version of life possible that the Chopped Leaf particularly resonates with. Living a balanced and fulfilled life includes fuelling our bodies with wholesome, nutritious and fresh food. A partnership between these two mandates amplifies this message, which is to live your best life.

“I am so proud to present Canada’s Top Fitness Instructors 2021 at our Virtual Awards Gala. It’s been a challenging year for the fitness industry. Most clubs and studios have been closed or working at reduced capacity. If there was a time to be celebrating these outstanding nominees and featured individuals, this would be it. Those working in the fitness industry help people live their healthiest and best lives - and that is exactly what IMPACT Magazine is all about,” says Elaine Kupser, Publisher & Editor-in-Chief of IMPACT Magazine.

IMPACT has announced the Top 10 Fitness Instructors in each region across Canada and will be hosting a live virtual awards gala LIVE on May 6.  The Chopped Leaf looks forward to providing each of these recognized instructors with a meal made with the freshest ingredients and their signature chef-designed dressings and sauces.
