Steve Rowe, the founder of the fitness programme called “Aerobic Table Tennis” recently visited The North West Territories in Canada. Supported by Butterfly, he wanted to show some impressions of this incredible global programme – and found a lot of smiling faces in the great white north …
A Yellowknife table tennis enthusiast is proving it’s never too late to follow your dreams.
Sixty-one year old retiree Paul Devitt recently returned home from a professional table tennis training camp in Hungary.
“I really just want to be the best that I can be,” Devitt says.
He trained six hours a day to get in shape before travelling to Hungary last month. He spent two weeks at the Hungarian training camp, getting tips from some of Europe’s top coaches.
We are very fortunate to have had CTV come out and talk to us about Aerobic Table Tennis and our fast grow in the NWT. Very exciting!!!

Table Tennis North and Aerobic Table Tennis visited Deh Gah School (Fort Providence), Chief Sunrise (Hay River Reserve), École Boréale (Hay River), Weledeh Catholic School (Yellowknife) in the Northwest Territories. We worked with 400+ kids and even did a session with 250 at one time. The biggest excitement came from doing a full Aerobic Table Tennis session on ice.
