LOS ANGELES, CA

Author Venus Campbell has announced her newest publication, Requite of the Fates, released August 11th, as August hails Romance Awareness or Read a Romance month. Tight on the heels of a Greek mythological resurgence, Campbell’s interracial time-travel romance is a Greek mythology retelling of Theseus and the Minotaur that follows war photojournalist, Marly Broadie, surviving on grit and grief as she encounters Emissary Nate Wayne, under the control of aliens.

This 2026 release falls within the same universe as Campbell’s previous sci-fi romance publication, To Desire the Stars, a Literary Global Book Awards finalist. In Requite of the Fates, however, Campbell weaves Greek mythology, alien gods, and time travel into a paranormal romance that asks how far love will reach across centuries.

“This story is perfect for fans of The Song of Achilles and A Touch of Darkness. Set in near future New York city and Los Angelos, and 1500’s BCE Crete, I use detail — a scent, not a vision — as the first signal that this story will operate on a different frequency than most. I don’t announce the mythos with thunder and spectacle. I, as is my want to do, announce it with fragrance. In doing so, I build a world that doesn’t just ask to be seen. It asks to be experienced. And that makes Requite of the Fates a true summer experience,” Venus Campbell noted. “I wrote a love story that transcends time and space, interweaves alien and human DNA but remains intrinsically a human experience.”

 

Author Victor Pierce added, “Venus offers a rare blend of near-future sci-fi romance and ancient Greek mythology. She builds a fully realized mythology from the ground up, then grounds it in two characters whose chemistry is earned through conflict, grief, and hard-won honesty. Her stories live vibrantly and her characters are deeply flawed and beautiful characters which remain easily relatable. It’s quite a read and fully human authored.”

In Requite of the Fates, Venus Campbell weaves Greek mythology, alien gods, and time travel into a paranormal romance that asks how far love will reach across centuries. Celebrate Read a Romance month and catch Venus at Park Books Spark in the Park event August 15th.

THE WOODLANDS, Texas

The Ring Dinger® Adjustment may be what captures global attention, but patient safety begins long before an adjustment is ever performed.

Behind the widely recognized technique is a strict credentialing process designed to ensure that Official Team Ring Dinger® Providers deliver care rooted in sound clinical decision-making, thorough patient screening, and standardized training and equipment.

Every Official Team Ring Dinger® Provider must first hold an active license as a Doctor of Chiropractic. Providers then complete the intensive three-day Advanced Chiropractic Equipment Seminar in The Woodlands, Texas, where hands-on instruction and practical examinations are personally conducted by Dr. Gregory E. Johnson, developer of the technique.

The program extends far beyond teaching the technical execution of the Johnson Y Axis Adjustment®, commonly known as the Ring Dinger® Adjustment. Practitioners are evaluated on clinical judgment and patient-safety principles, including:

• Comprehensive patient history taking and neurological and orthopedic examinations
• Identification of contraindications and relevant risk factors
• Appropriate patient selection and clinical triage
• Recognition of circumstances requiring additional diagnostic evaluation, imaging, or referral to another healthcare professional

Certification is not guaranteed by attendance. Dr. Johnson withholds certification from practitioners who do not demonstrate the clinical judgment and technical competency required to perform the procedure appropriately.

“A technique should never be performed simply because a patient requests it or because a practitioner has seen it online,” said Dr. Johnson. “Proper patient screening must always come first. A chiropractor must determine whether the procedure is appropriate for that individual patient based on the patient’s history, examination findings, clinical presentation, and any additional diagnostic information that may be necessary.”

To promote consistency among certified providers, practitioners are also required to use the custom Ring Dinger® Table manufactured by Hill Laboratories in Pennsylvania. The specialized equipment is designed specifically for use with the Johnson Y Axis Adjustment® and supports consistent patient positioning and application of the technique across Official Team Ring Dinger® locations.

By combining professional licensure, intensive hands-on training, practical examination, clinical screening protocols, and specialized equipment, the Official Team Ring Dinger® designation establishes a consistent standard for practitioners trained and certified in the technique.

For patients, seeing the Official Team Ring Dinger® Provider designation means they are working with a licensed chiropractor who has completed Dr. Johnson’s training program, demonstrated competency in the technique and its patient-screening requirements, and agreed to follow the standards established for its use.

Because in chiropractic care, knowing when not to perform a procedure can be every bit as important as knowing how to perform it.

Advanced Chiropractic Equipment Seminars (ACES) provides specialized postgraduate training in the Johnson Y Axis Adjustment® and related equipment for licensed Doctors of Chiropractic.

Toronto, ON

From helping everyday people transform their health to preparing elite bodybuilding competitors for the biggest stages in the sport, Amer Kamra has quietly built one of Canada’s most respected coaching systems—and he’s done it from an appointment-only gym in Scarborough.

Toronto has no shortage of personal trainers, boutique fitness studios, and commercial gyms, but few have built the reputation that Amer Kamra has earned over the past decade.

Known throughout the bodybuilding community as “Amer The Hammer,” Kamra has established himself as one of Canada’s leading contest preparation coaches and physique specialists. While many recognize him for coaching athletes who have earned IFBB Pro Cards and competed at the highest levels of bodybuilding, his work extends far beyond competitive sport. Today, his coaching system helps everyone from first-time gym members to experienced athletes build muscle, lose body fat, improve their health, and create sustainable long-term results through structured resistance training.

Although his reputation now reaches clients across Canada, the United States, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, Amer Kamra continues to operate from his home base in Toronto’s east end.

His private training facility, Hammer Fitness, located in Scarborough, has become a destination for people looking for personalized one-on-one coaching rather than the crowded environment of a traditional commercial gym. Operating through HFGYM.ca, the appointment-only facility attracts clients from across Toronto, York Region, Durham Region, Peel Region, and even internationally. According to the original article, the gym has earned more than 1,200 five-star Google reviews, making it one of the highest-rated personal training facilities in the Greater Toronto Area.

That success didn’t happen overnight.

When Hammer Fitness first opened its doors, many people suggested opening in downtown Toronto or another high-profile commercial area. Instead, Kamra deliberately chose Scarborough, believing that exceptional coaching and measurable client results would matter more than location.

Years later, that decision appears to have paid off.

Today, clients routinely travel from across the GTA and beyond because of the reputation Hammer Fitness has developed for individualized coaching, accountability, and consistent long-term results. Rather than relying on high membership numbers, the gym focuses on providing a private coaching experience where every client receives the full attention of a dedicated coach.

Unlike many commercial gyms where trainers divide their attention between multiple clients, Hammer Fitness operates exclusively by appointment. Every program is tailored to the individual and built around biomechanics, movement quality, progressive resistance training, recovery, and long-term progression rather than generic workout templates.

For Kamra, coaching has never been about chasing the latest fitness trends.

His philosophy centres on understanding how the human body adapts to resistance training and creating sustainable physical improvements that clients can maintain for years—not just weeks.

“The fundamental mechanics of muscle hypertrophy, fat oxidation, and metabolic adaptation do not change simply because someone isn’t competing,” Kamra explains. Whether someone is preparing for an IFBB competition or simply wants to improve their overall health, he believes the same scientific principles apply.

That philosophy has become the foundation of the Hammer Fitness coaching system.

Rather than relying on exhausting workouts or constantly changing fitness trends, every client program emphasizes proper exercise mechanics, progressive overload, intelligent recovery, and measurable progress. Properly coached resistance training can improve muscle development, bone density, insulin sensitivity, metabolic health, posture, and overall body composition while reducing unnecessary wear and tear on the body.

Whether a client’s goal is to lose weight, build muscle, improve athletic performance, or simply become healthier, the approach remains the same: teach people how to train correctly, monitor their progress carefully, and make calculated adjustments over time rather than relying on quick fixes.

One of the defining features of Hammer Fitness is the coaching philosophy that underpins every client program.

Over the years, Amer Kamra developed what he calls the M.E.D. Method, short for Minimum Effective Dose. Rather than encouraging clients to spend countless hours in the gym or follow extreme dieting strategies that are difficult to maintain, the system focuses on identifying the minimum amount of training and nutritional stimulus required to produce measurable progress while preserving recovery and long-term health. The objective is to eliminate unnecessary physical stress while allowing clients to continue progressing week after week without burnout or excessive fatigue.

The concept is built around a simple idea.

Too little training often produces little or no adaptation, while too much training can lead to chronic fatigue, elevated stress levels, poor recovery, joint irritation, and stalled progress.

Instead of dramatically increasing workout volume or making aggressive calorie reductions, the Hammer Fitness system makes calculated adjustments over time based on each client’s individual progress, recovery, and overall response. Every exercise, every working set, and every nutritional adjustment serves a specific purpose rather than simply making workouts longer or more exhausting.

While this philosophy has helped thousands of lifestyle clients improve their health and fitness, it has also become one of the reasons competitive athletes continue seeking out Hammer Fitness for contest preparation.

Preparing for a bodybuilding competition requires much more than simply reducing body fat. Athletes must preserve muscle mass, maximize symmetry, refine stage presentation, and carefully manage nutrition throughout every stage of preparation.

Hammer Fitness provides comprehensive contest preparation that includes customized resistance training, nutrition planning, posing instruction, peak-week planning, and post-show recovery protocols. Rather than focusing solely on competition day, the coaching system also emphasizes restoring metabolic health after a contest to help athletes transition safely back into regular training.

Although bodybuilding remains an important part of the business, it represents only one aspect of what Hammer Fitness offers.

Many of the gym’s clients have no intention of ever stepping onto a stage.

Instead, they are professionals, entrepreneurs, parents, retirees, and everyday individuals looking to become healthier, stronger, and more confident through structured exercise and personalized coaching. Whether the objective is building muscle, reducing body fat, improving mobility, or increasing overall fitness, the same emphasis on biomechanics, progressive resistance training, and accountability remains at the centre of every program.

Hammer Fitness has also expanded well beyond its Scarborough headquarters through online coaching.

Recognizing that many clients live outside the Greater Toronto Area, Amer Kamra developed a remote coaching platform that allows individuals from across Canada and around the world to follow the same training principles used inside the gym. Remote clients receive customized resistance training programs, individualized nutrition planning, ongoing progress assessments, and direct coaching support built around the same M.E.D. Method used with in-person clients.

That international reach has transformed Hammer Fitness from a local training facility into a coaching brand with clients throughout North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, while the Scarborough gym continues to serve as its headquarters.

For those interested in learning more, Hammer Fitness operates several dedicated online resources depending on the type of coaching clients are seeking. HFGYM.ca focuses on private one-on-one personal training in Toronto and Scarborough, while HammerFitness.com provides information about contest preparation, international online coaching, and the M.E.D. Method. The company also shares educational fitness content, client transformations, and coaching insights through its Facebook page, Instagram account, and Amer The Hammer’s YouTube channel.

As Toronto’s fitness industry continues to evolve, competition among personal trainers has never been greater. New studios continue to open, fitness trends come and go, and social media has made it easier than ever for almost anyone to market themselves as an expert.

Hammer Fitness has taken a different approach.

Rather than relying on trends or marketing gimmicks, the business has focused on producing measurable client results through individualized coaching, structured programming, and a system refined over more than a decade of working with both competitive athletes and everyday clients. That reputation has helped transform a private training studio in Scarborough into one of Canada’s most recognized names in personal training and contest preparation.

Whether someone is preparing for their first bodybuilding competition, looking for private personal training in Toronto or Scarborough, or simply hoping to make a lasting improvement to their health and fitness, Hammer Fitness continues to build its reputation around a simple belief: long-term results are achieved through science, structure, accountability, and coaching tailored to the individual.

For many clients, that combination has become the reason they continue making the trip to Scarborough—regardless of where they live.
