what's a sculpette?
A Sculpette is a Sculptura insider. You can become a Sculpette by subscribing to our email list. Sculpettes receive a free workout video every week to do at home during covid isolation. I try to include something funny, clever or thoughtful in each newsletter along with the video, which often doesn’t get shared anywhere else. My goal is to get you laughing, and to get you moving.
about me
Hey! I’m Essa. I have degrees in Kinesiology (exercise science) and Music (conducting), and I am incredibly lucky that I get to work in not one but two fields I am passionate about. People tell me I’m exceptionally kind and a good listener. I deeply believe that fitness should be joyful, and that’s how I approach Sculptura.
about sculptura
Sculptura Fitness is a tiny online fitness studio that holds interactive group classes a few times a week. I started Sculptura in 2010, in Halifax NS. Sculptura is a labour of love, and I do everything myself. I love the personal connection I have with my Sculpettes. The goal of Sculptura is to allow a lifestyle transformation that allows ladies to enjoy their exercise routine, and look forward to it for its own sake. There is no long-term commitment required to attend classes, but our members tend to stay for years.
the classes
Classes have been primarily online since 2016. We use a group video call where everyone can talk, to feel like we’re all in the same room together.
coreblast
This mat-based class is all about challenging that core! Pilates exercises and cardio core exercises both show up, so you get to work deep postural muscles as well as getting that heart pumping. With a different combination of exercises each time, this 40 minute class flies by.
HIIT bootcamp
HIIT = High Intensity Interval Training. Intervals are a fantastic way to maximize your workout time, and experience a more intense cardiovascular and fat-burning effect. The class runs under an hour, including a relaxing flexibility cool-down, and is not recommended for beginners or anyone trying to avoid high impact.

are we a good fit?
If you’re focusing on other things right now and just don’t have the capacity to add in exercise, that’s ok. Be kind to yourself. We are all doing our best.
However, if you’ve been trying to make exercise a priority but could use some help, Sculptura’s May session could be just the thing for you. Maybe your kids are suddenly home full-time, and you’re trying to homeschool them on top of your normal daily routine. Maybe work has blown up rather than slowed down. Or maybe everything around you has come to a standstill, your head is constantly swimming, and it’s really difficult to find the motivation to do anything.
With this 4-week session, you just have to make the decision once, and after that all you have to do is turn on your computer at the appointed times. I’ll take care of the rest. You’ll be sweating (and probably laughing!) without having to keep thinking about it.
i'm not sure the classes are right for me, but i want the free workouts
No worries at all; I’m still more than happy to send you the weekly workout videos. Sculpettes used to only be those who attended classes, but we’re adding a new facet to Sculptura with these isolation videos! And you can feel free to email me anytime. Our classes have limited spots anyway; we’re not looking to expand the business, we’re in the business of changing lives.
where have you been all my life??
When you know, you know. Every once in a while a new Sculpette shows up in class, and it’s like she’s been there forever. I look forward to meeting you!
I love the way one of our wonderful sculpettes put it:
"I feel challenged and nurtured in the same class."
