I’m sitting here reflecting on the past 16+ weeks, and honestly… I’m in awe.

🙏❤️Thank you. Truly.

Your support, your encouragement, your belief in me... it meant everything through this entire journey that is Champions for Charity.

This experience gave me more than I expected.

I learned how to stay more composed under pressure, how powerful breathwork is for managing energy and showing control, and most importantly, that you can truly become anyone you set your mind to. It comes down to stepping into the identity of that person and owning it!🥊🥊💥

For these past 16 weeks, I became boxer… and it showed the night of April 24th, 2026 - The Brawl at Tapestry Hall.

🏆💎I’m proud to share that I won my match and received Fight of the Night for the female bouts, something I’m incredibly proud of.🥹

‼️But beyond the ring, the impact we made together is what really matters.

Collectively, as the Champs for Charity, we raised:
💥 $1.5 million for MacKids!!!! [Record breaking year]
💥 $77,000 for the Waterloo Region Health Network (WRHN)

And personally…
💥 $40,000 raised

WOW.‼️

What I gained through the Champs for Charity was a deep appreciation for the power of community. Your willingness to show up, give, and be part of something meaningful helped me build confidence not just in myself, but in what we can accomplish together for the future of our community.

16+ weeks of training 4x per week with a group of pretty cool people, alongside incredible community fundraising efforts, and it turned into an experience I will never forget.💙💙💙

I am beyond grateful.

Thank you for being part of it. Thank you for believing in me. And thank you for helping make a real impact for MacKids and WRHN.

With so much gratitude,

💎Deidre “Diamond Dee” Hatton💎

Your Move Strong Coach.💪

🔥Let’s keep making an impact together.

A little lifting. A little community. A little food prep. > A whole lot of getting your sh*t together. <

This is coaching that meets you where you’re at, teaches you what your body actually needs, and helps you build strength + discipline in a way that feels good.

If you’re ready for results that last longer than your motivation… 
I got you. ✨

Race #2 in the books. 🇨🇦Both in Toronto, a year apart… all while owning and managing a Coaching Facility in Kitchener-Waterloo, @movestrongkw 🔥❤️

There were definitely highs and lows as I stepped away from boxing/Champs for Charity🥊 and tried to focus solely on HYROX… (the ring muscle up was a close second for my energy and focus🤭).

In the past 5 months, we managed to consistently get in 1 HYROX session a week plus a MAX4 session for VO2 max training. Along with the strength and mobility training we do for ourselves while also strategizing and testing programs out for our members. Finding a consistent training schedule in our line of work can be difficult but we make the time.

Aside from the missed opportunities on the long-slow runs in our training (these are the one thing I would put on the back burner and realize now how important they are), I’m feeling pretty damn good about our 1:08:07 finish time for this seasons Toronto Hyrox race!

🏆Here are some wins along the road to Toronto Hyrox:

✅ Delt with a tailbone bruise after slipping on a rope and landing on another sled behind me which ultimately led to hip issues/having to remove certain movements/running for several weeks. *Rope management is important*

✅ Shaved 6 minutes off our overall time.🏁

✅ Improved running pace from 5:20min/km to 4:45min/km.

✅ VO2 max increased % through MAX4 training @movestrongkw

✅ Still learning a lot about the plantar fasciitis healing journey and oh boy, is it flared up.😮‍💨 Still have lots of work to do here.

✅ Fully drawn into the world of fitness racing🤩 you’ll be seeing more of me @hyroxworld @hyroxca @hyroxamerica 🏃🏼‍♀️💨

‼️IF YOURE INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT HYROX - We coach entry - intermediate level programs at Move Strong to get people race ready and show every day people what they’re capable of!!!🔥 Are you ready to level up? 👀📈

The first fitness festival in the area and we started with a bang!💥 What a great turn out and fun day to see the tri-city fitness community come together.

This is just the beginning for Move Strong and we’re excited to get out into the community to show you what we’re all about.

‼️If you did a session with us at Tapestry Hall for the Fitness Festival you got a little taste of our REBUILD CLASS; we did Shoulders and Hips.

In these sessions we take you through what true mobility training really is and how to make structural change to your joints and range of motion to yield real, life-changing results.🏆

These sessions are a GAME CHANGER if you’re looking to:
• increase strength in end ranges [mobility]
• improve overall strength [hit PRs]
• build muscle [more length = more muscle to build]
• manage injury, inflammation or nagging chronic issues

DON’T FORGET TO SCHEDULE YOUR COMPLIMENTARY REBUILD SESSION WITH US. Click the link in our bios.

‼️‼️Summer Class options:

SATURDAYS @ 6:30am, 7:45am, 9am

MONDAYS @ 5:30pm

We look forward to seeing you💪

📍Move Strong, 15 Shirk Pl, Kitchener

5 Wrist and Elbow Moves - warming up for muscle ups.

Week 5/16 Muscle Up focused training.🤸🏼‍♀️ I wanted to test one last week but to be honest, I was scared of what the result might be.😝 I know, I know… its fine. It’s all information. I’ve got some mindset work to do along with this.

Program has progressed into another 4 week block. Time to get to work.

1. Wrist extension floss
2. Wrist flexion floss
3. Deviation floss
4. Wrist extension push ups
5. Deviation push ups

x10 reps ea + 10 sec hold in the stretch on the last rep… and as always, shake it out.💃🏼

*Thanks for the all the help Otis😜
