Orangetheory® Fitness, the fast-growing fitness franchise that is sweeping the globe, will open three new studios across the Montréal area in 2017, taking its regional total to four. The chain, recently called one of the “Best Workouts” by Elle Canada, is making the Québec market a big priority and expects to see major growth into 2018 and beyond.
The exponential growth in Montréal reflects the brand’s rapid expansion across Canada with the first studio having opened in Edmonton in 2012. Today, there are almost 50 locations across Canada, with open rates up a whopping 300 percent from 2015 and by the end of the year, there will be more than 80 open studios. In 2017, Montréal will have studios in the Pointe Claire, Town of Mount Royal,
Boucherville and Rosemère neighborhoods.
‘The rapid growth of Orangetheory Fitness in Canada continues to beat our expectations. Last year, we exceeded our studio opening goal by over 20 per cent. This year, we anticipate opening 162 per cent more studios over last year’s openings,’ says Hifa Maleki, VP Franchise Development, and Operations, Orangetheory Fitness Canada. ‘A big part of our success is rooted in the passion our franchisees have for Orangetheory. More than 90 percent of our owners are also studio members.' This was the case for Sophia Stiperski and her husband, Jean Sebastian Carré, co-owners of the upcoming Boucherville studio. Stiperski, an 18-year veteran of Cirque du Soleil, and Carré, who performed with Céline Dion for the past 12 years, both found Orangetheory Fitness while they were working in Las Vegas.
“From our first workout at Orangetheory Fitness in Las Vegas, my husband and I knew we wanted to be involved somehow,” says Stiperski. “As performers, fitness has always been a huge part of our lives, but with Orangetheory it felt different like we found a new family. When the time came to decide what was next for us, the answer was clear – we wanted to bring this amazing experience home to our family in Quebec.”
The passion for exercise and first-hand experience with Orangetheory Fitness as a studio member is a common thread with all the Montréal franchisees. Their collective experience ranges from Healthcare to Technology to, not surprisingly, Fitness. All were drawn to the chain’s unique combination of fitness and technology.
Designed to appeal across the spectrum from fitness newbie to workout junkie, the Orangetheory Fitness workout is a dynamic trainer-led group class. The goal is to achieve 12 to 20 minutes of training at 84 percent or more in the participant’s maximum heart rate range. Tracked by heart rate monitors worn during the workout, this level of intensity is called the orange zone. Training in this zone produces an “afterburn” effect, increasing metabolism for up to 24 to 36 hours post-workout.
Janes salutes the generous spirit of Quebec host families for Pee-Wee hockey players
Quebec City hosted Pee-Wee hockey players from around the world at the 58th Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament held February 8-19, 2017. Once again, Janes was a proud sponsor and called on MO:PR to develop a 360 PR, social and content campaign to promote their implications.
Each year, hundreds of local Quebec City families welcome these Pee-Wee players in their homes for the duration of the tournament. As a token of their appreciation, Janes announced that they will be providing 450 Quebec City host families with care packages. The packages include $20 gas cards, a selection of Sofina Foods products and coupons for Janes, Lavazza, San Benedetto and Rio Mare food products that will help support the families through the 10-day tournament. A special TV campaign spotlighting the generosity of these Quebec host families will also be showcased during the tournament.
‘’We know welcoming these young hockey players into their homes and integrating them into their family routine is an important undertaking. However, this unique experience makes the Pee-Wee tournament such a lasting memory for both the host families and the players. Thanks to the commitment of these wonderful families, future champions can realize their dreams and experience unforgettable moments,’’ says Joanne Stencell, Manager, Partnerships and Sponsorships, Sofina Foods Inc.

Dare we say it was a match made in heaven, and the perfect marriage of science, fitness, and event!
Orangetheory Fitness (www.orangetheoryfitness.com) is the scientifically designed, one-of-a-kind group personal training, interval fitness concept that is sweeping the nation. Backed by the science of excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), Orangetheory Fitness is a 60-minute workout broken into intervals of cardiovascular and strength training. Participants burn an average of 500+ total calories per 60-minute training session (individual results vary). Led by highly skilled coaches, each Orangetheory Fitness workout incorporates endurance, strength and power elements through a variety of equipment including treadmills, rowing machines, TRX® suspension training and free weights.
The physiology behind the Orangetheory Fitness workout involves heart-rate-monitored training designed to keep heart rates in a target zone that stimulates metabolism and increases energy. The result is the Orange Effect – more energy, visible toning and extra calorie burn for up to 36 hours post- workout.
Orangetheory Fitness studios are designed to motivate. Highly qualified coaches inspire participants to beat plateaus and stick to their goals. The dynamic created by working out in a group setting has proven benefits – support, energy, endurance, and accountability. This is the psychology behind Orangetheory Fitness. Each modern studio welcomes members and guests with upbeat music, state-of-the-art equipment, contemporary lighting, and art. Studios are spacious and clean, with separate men’s and women’s locker rooms and showers.

LOVE Quebec is looking to put an end to violence and bullying among our youth.
For children like Patricia – who experienced daily bullying at school – abuse, addiction and sometimes thoughts of suicide can prevent them from achieving their full potential. LOVE Quebec provides a safe haven and a way to build their self-esteem. As well, LOVE keeps our youth on track towards academic success, with 92% graduating from high school.
LOVE Quebec is celebrating its 23rd anniversary and is continuing to expand their after-school programs, leadership development workshops and life skills programs to help young people like Patricia end the violence in their lives.
This year LOVE provided service to over 500 children. Their goal for 2017 is to increase their presence in schools by 30%, but they need help.

On September 23 and 24 a larger-than-life, pop-up installation will be on display at La Place des Arts. The 30-by-30 foot Red Cube made of 4 large,10-foot screens is an interactive, branded art experience designed to engage and surprise visitors. Commissioned by Kia to celebrate its award-winning style and craftsmanship, visitors will be drawn in to see what’s inside. The collective power of the group will bring the interior of the Red Cube to life, unleashing by a dynamic technological display featuring projection mapping.
Kia Motors reached historic new heights when J.D. Power recognized it as the highest scoring nameplate in its 2016 Initial Quality Study (IQS) out of all 33 makes in the U.S. marking the first time in 27 years that a non-premium brand has topped the rankings.
Having transformed into an industry leader in design, quality and technology, the Red Cube campaign builds on Kia’s platform of the Power to Surprise. Delivering on its promise to be unexpected, a marketing teaser campaign has been developed to build excitement for the Red Cube including wildposting clues and a microsite theredcube.ca / lecuberouge.ca. This activation is just the start of a Red Cube program that will make its way into a TV commercial, the auto show circuit, special events and dealer spaces.
The concept was developed by Innocean Worldwide Canada, Kia Canada’s agency of record. Innocean opened a Montreal office earlier in the year to increase presence in the Quebec market.
Is there a better way to launch a new product in Montreal than hosting the first food truck challenge in the province?
Don’t get me wrong, there could be other ways… But none as delicious as the PR event we hosted on May 26. It was a labour of love that demanded the most out of our team. But the results were outstanding. Over 20 media coverage and 1300 people served.
Janes is sponsoring the International Pee-Wee tournament in Québec city. And for the occasion, February 14 was Janes day at the Videotron Center. Games, sampling, and goodies elevated the experience for the fans. This year again we are happy to be the communication team behind the PR and promotion effort. After all chicken and hockey are a match made in heaven!
