Holly Bond knows personally the struggle parents face trying to get their kids more physically active and away from video games: she became very frustrated and her struggle with her own son resulted in the creation of the first interactive fitness facility designed for youth!

Back in 2003, Holly noticed that her son had been gaining weight. He ate well, but could spend eight hours at a time playing Xbox. He had ballooned to 193 pounds, too much for his 5-foot-8 frame. Holly read statistics and realized that many kids all over the world had the same issue: they played video games too much and exercised too little. So, she created exercise programs for kids, and combined interactive video games with exercise to make fitness fun for kids and opened Bulldog Interactive Fitness for Youth, the first fitness facility designed for youth using video games to get them fit. Locations opened all across Canada and in March 2008, Holly sold the company.

Holly has been featured on CTV National News, CBC Venture, Chatelaine, Canadian Business, Today’s Parent and is heralded as the expert on Youth Fitness and Inactivity. She was chosen as one of Atlantic Canadian’s 5 Most Interesting Business People and the Top 7 to Watch in 2007, she won the Nova Scotia Export Achievement Award in May 2007, and the Women of Excellence Award for 2007.

Holly loves to see the positive difference exercise and socialization make in people’s lives and is excited to bring her experience and her enthusiasm to Exergame Fitness as she continues her crusade to spread the message of Exergaming across Canada.

In running an interactive gym, you’ll spend as much time trying to get people through your front door as they’ll spend on your machines. This is especially true when your clientele is kids, who might rather be inside in front of a screen. She was the first-ever franchisee for Bulldog Interactive Fitness, and she has been working in the Interactive fitness world since 2005.

A native of Truro, Nova Scotia, this mother of two has extensive experience in all aspects of designing, building and managing an interactive fitness facility; she knows the long hours and dedication that it takes to succeed and loves to share her knowledge and experience with others. After selling her club in 2007, Liz joined the head office at Bulldog, taking on the Operations and Training Manager role. From club layout and design, to choosing and maintaining the perfect equipment, to training and program development, Liz Thompson is an Exergaming specialist. Liz has traveled extensively across Canada, opening 10 clubs in 2 years, and she is excited to bring her knowledge and experience to Exergame Fitness Canada.

Liz has been featured in the Canadian Business Franchise magazine twice, CBC Venture, and has been featured in newspapers across Nova Scotia. It is this dedication to helping youth combined with her hands-on experience that sets Liz and Exergame Fitness Canada apart. Liz looks forward to working with schools, individuals, organizations and clubs to bring Exergaming Fitness to many more cities and towns across Canada!
