How does a brewmaster stay fit? If you’re Wild Rose’s brewmaster you stay fit by working with Luke Leimenstoll, founder of Calgary’s Movement U and this week’s guest on the podcast!
Luke Leimenstoll joins us for some pint-glass forearm curls while he fills us in on his more than decade long history helping Calgarians achieve their fitness goals. As a natural entrepreneur Luke started his own fitness company at 23 years old after moving to Calgary from Thunder Bay, Ontario so he’d have every chance possible to take his snowboard out to the Alberta Rockies. He and a coworker at a Calgary gym would kick off an outdoor bootcamp company that evolved into Movement U 8 years later.
Movement U has been open to residents of Bridgeland since 2016, with a new location coming to 17th Ave in February 2020. Luke and the team offer a class-based approach to fitness, offering yoga, spin, row, and HIIT (high intensity interval training). HIIT sounds intense but as Luke explains this 30 second on/off approach to fitness is a fantastic way to engage the body in multiple planes of motion that even gym-shy folks like Josh or Jonathan can feel comfortable with. After all, movement and exercise is supposed to be fun!
After Luke gives our eardrums a high intensity workout we sit down with Mama T to find out who’s in the DJ chair at the taproom these days for Vinyl Sundays, receive an English lesson on electronic communication in the Southern US, and brainstorm some solutions on how to handle an uncomfortable conversation with your boss.
Join us at the Wild Rose Taproom for 20oz of your own

Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship.
