Our Story
The Worng Gazette began, as most small papers do, with a complaint. Margaret Cole spent the winter of 2025 muttering about the absence of a calm Canadian publication for people who wanted to move more without being shouted at by a screen. Daniel Vance, who lived across the country in a small Vancouver studio and was equally tired, agreed. By February of 2026 we had a name, a typeface, and a first issue.
What We Believe
We believe that movement is small, repeatable, and unfashionable. We believe a well-chosen mat is more useful than a new gym subscription. We believe in language that does not promise too much. In my experience, that combination produces both kinder mornings and more honest evenings.
What We Do Not Do
We do not give medical advice. We do not invent statistics. We do not recommend equipment we have not personally lived with. We do not pretend to be doctors, dietitians, or athletes. We are quietly enthusiastic, mid-life, opinionated readers and writers who happen to roll out a mat most days of the week.

Why a Gazette?
We chose the format on purpose. A gazette is a small, regional, conversational thing. It does not shout. It arrives on a quiet morning, gets read in twenty minutes, and is forgotten until the next one. We wanted that pace. The internet has enough loud voices about fitness. We are interested in the soft ones.
How We Pick What to Write About
Readers ask. We answer. Margaret keeps a small notebook of questions sent in by the newsletter, and Daniel keeps a smaller notebook of equipment he has personally tested. The columns alternate. The diary appears whenever something genuinely happens in our living rooms. According to the philosophy of slow journalism, less can be more — and we generally agree.

If something has been quietly puzzling you about home movement, we would like to hear it.

We accept no payment for product recommendations. The mats, kettles, and bands mentioned in the gazette have all been bought by us, from ordinary shops, with ordinary money. If this ever changes, it will be stated plainly at the top of the article concerned.
