23.01.2022 These Year 12 Legends graduated with a Certificate IV in Fitness today. Two years in the making chaps! Well done to all of you and the amazing staff of Toowoomba Grammar School, particularly Tony Wallis for your diligence and efforts through the year. We wish all our graduates the very best for what your futures now hold!

22.01.2022 An excellent afternoons effort from our Certificate IV in Fitness students today. They managed to complete all their practical elements for Community Fitness and Open Spaces, an enjoyable day and great to be back at it. Well played team!

22.01.2022 Our Australian Strength & Conditioning Association - Level One Strength and Conditioning Coach, is now fully booked this weekend! Your presenters are Professional Level 2 Strength Coaches Rob Burr and Michael Krog. This is strictly a private course, so if you are interested in completing this qualification with the ASCA through us at World Gym Toowoomba, please PM us for our next intake in November...

21.01.2022 Strange times indeed. . Amid the chaos and uncertainty, there have been two things that stand out as special to protect and encourage. . One is education.... . Not just the traditional form in schools, universities and colleges , but also social education - looking after the more vulnerable elements of society - and personal education and self-reflection - checking in on where we are, what we have, what we want and how they all match up. . The other is health. . Globally, exercise and healthy eating have been encouraged and enshrined as a way to combat the current situation. . Wed call that pretty good general life advice , but at times like this, it hits home a bit harder and we realise that not everyone is equipped to know what that is or how to incorporate it into their day-to-day. . Weve seen a huge spike in students asking about our online courses (feel free to look them up!), and we know learning online is a safe, convenient and often more cost-effective route. . We also firmly believe that our industry is people-centric. Human interaction, live, up-close and personal is a key element in motivation, explanation, demonstration and consistency. . To that end we will ALWAYS encourage our students to come to our live practical classes and CEC courses as well as exploring our online options. . And we hope that when everyone is allowed to interact freely again...that they take the opportunity to do so and appreciate how life would be without it. #theafhp #peopleneedpeople #fitnesseducation #facetoface #onlinefitness

20.01.2022 Not long now for our valued students to get back to the playground! Further updates to come. Massive shout out to all the hard working staff of World Gym Toowoomba for giving us the best facilities in the region!

20.01.2022 Our TOOWOOMBA Grammar Certificate III in Fitness students on a workplace visit to World Gym Toowoomba!

16.01.2022 A big thank you to Southern Cross Catholic College for inviting us to assist your Certificate III in Fitness students to complete their first aid component last week.

16.01.2022 More screentime for our Toowoomba Grammar School and Fairholme College students in this current COVID climate. Year 11s and 12s we are looking forward to seeing you in person again very soon for some actual gym work - fingers crossed!

15.01.2022 We are very proud to have this champion as one of our graduates. Cam Lewis is the type of bloke that will put his hand up and have a crack. Cam - your success is well earned mate and the rate you are going the sky is the limit! We’ll have more graduate posts coming shortly Here is a little from Cam;... Did you know I am a strength and conditioning coach as well as a PT? I gained my @the_asca level 1 qualification through @rob_burr_afhp and the @theafhp while studying my certification to be a pt! I train various athletes in different codes from, rugby union, rugby league, rugby 7’s, netball, basketball and cricket through various stages of their season, from pre season prep, in season, and post season, working on strength, running mechanics, conditioning techniques and various other exercises/drills/sessions to have them ready to play at their best! It’s always great to see how much the guys and girls change through their training, gaining more confidence in the gym, getting stronger and getting fitter in general! Want to know more?

14.01.2022 Congratulations to this little legend Lucy Blakeney (Certificate III in Fitness Fairholme College). She has taken the ALL TIME Academy record for the wall sit at 7 mins 40 seconds sorry Kristen Currie and Kirilee Sires - youve both been usurped!

14.01.2022 Full stop. . It doesnt matter what were talking about specifically. . Study. Work. Exercise. Nutrition.... . The bottom line is that you have to actually DO something. . Sometimes our clients talk a great game. . I used to have one that literally tried to start a conversation they knew Id be into, just so they could get a rest! (Watch out for those ones ) . So even if you only see someone once a week, your influence needs to reach way beyond that session. . You have to help them move from deliberation to action - even if youre not there physically. . Ultimately everyone wants the same thing - progress and success for your client! . Part of the game is making sure they DO enough to make that change. . Make a plan. . Stick to the plan (unless you have to change it!) . Create accountability- for yourself and your clients. . Promote doing - not just talking. #lesstalkingmoredoing #theafhp #watchthoseones #accountability See more

13.01.2022 At AFHP we know what its like to try and learn something new. Even if youve been training for years, the language and the structure can make it seem like fun part - training people! - is miles away! Thats why our program is designed to help you navigate smoothly and easily from anatomy and physiology right through to strength and conditioning. Check out how to become and internationally recognised personal trainer on our website. If you start now, you could be qualified in time to catch the New Year rush!!!

12.01.2022 Early 1am start (or slight madness) for some of our S & C coaches this morning in order to keep up to date with continued professional development. Excellent Body-Swing Connection Fitness course presented by TPI Titleist Performance Institute. ZOOM meetings COVID workaround!

11.01.2022 We are very proud to announce that one of our Directors of Education, Rob @rob_burr_afhp has been named a Finalist in the Educator of the Year Category for the 2020 Australian Fitness Awards to be announced on the 1st May in Sydney This is a wonderful honour and we are very proud of everything Rob has achieved and continues to achieve! #educationmatters #passion #fitnesseducation #theafhp #followyourpassion #personaltrainer #fitnessaustralia #2020

11.01.2022 Calculated by dividing your weight in kg by your height in metres squared. . Its designed to give an indication of whether you have a healthy weight for your height, which can be indicative of health risks. . Its not perfect. It doesnt take into account whether the weight constitutes lean or fat mass, which means more muscular sports people can often fall into the overweight or even obese category.... . But its a pretty good indicator, along with a lifestyle questionnaire, of where someone might be at, its easy to do and fast to feedback! . Work yours out now and see if you fall into the healthy range of 20-25! . . . See more

10.01.2022 Massive team effort from our Fast Track students last night. The dreaded fitness appraisals practical! @kristencurrie4 you lost your record and @kirilee_s you are the AFHP current champion! #fitnesseducation #theafhp #worldgymtoowoomba #personaltrainer #fitnessappraisals #wallsit #strengthandconditioning #bestfacialexpressions

10.01.2022 Check out what our students got up to last weekend on the ASCA Level 1 Strength & Conditioning Course!

We are taking enquires now for 23rd and 24th November, [email protected] . . . #strengthandconditioning #fitnesseducation #toowoomba #worldgymtoowoomba #asca #strength #endurance #speed #agility #theafhp

10.01.2022 Lip Service . We see it quite a lot in gyms. . Trainers saying all the right things - talking the talk.... . And saying the right things IS important. . But when push comes to shove, its actions that count. . We might say were spotting a client, but then we get distracted for a second and... . We want our students to understand the why, not just the what. . Because no one wants a dumbbell in their groin #theafhp #lesstalkingmoredoing #walkthewalk #fitnesseducation #getitright See more

10.01.2022 Our Fairholme Cert III in Fitness students working hard during their maintain equipment for facilities Unit. Fantastic work ladies! World Gym Toowoomba

10.01.2022 Anatomy and physiology. . Even saying it is a mouthful! . For lots of our students this is a whole new world - new words, new definitions, prefixes from a dead language!... . Unfortunately we cant change the names of bones, muscles and organic systems. . But what we CAN do try and help it make sense . Its the foundation of our industry and without a good understanding of it, we have absolutely no chance of designing a good exercise program! . But the good thing thing is it doesnt change. . A thigh bone will always be called a femur. . Your guns will always be your biceps . So take the time to learn and understand anatomy and physiology. . The magic language can uncover some incredible things and lead you to some amazing places... #fitnesseducation #anatomyandphysiology #mystery #worthit See more

08.01.2022 These young larrikns are back in action (in their school gymnasium for now) and into their Strength and Conditioning programming for Certificate IV in Fitness. COVID has not stopped the "gun show" boys Its great to be back with you Toowoomba Grammar School

08.01.2022 Our World Gym Toowoomba Cert IV in Fitness students were soooo close to completion before lockdown. Here is our superstar Madi taking the big man Cam through tempo training for our Strength and Conditioning Unit before facilities closed. Well played Madi!

07.01.2022 YAWN! . Whenever we start talking about scope of practice in a classroom we see the eyes roll and the shoulders drop. . But heres how we view it. ... . We dont (like lots of people), see it as a limitation on what we do. . Were not doctors - dont want to be. . Were not Physiotherapists - dont want to be. . Were not clinically trained in dietetics or nutrition - in 90% of cases, dont need to be! . Clients often think we have all the answers and we can get drawn into pretending to be the expert on all things health! . Instead, we see scope of practice as the way we can keep focussed on the stuff we enjoy and the stuff we are good at! . Exercise, motivation, health screening, fitness testing, program design, strength and conditioning, good old fashioned healthy eating (no fad diets here please)... . There are LOADS of things we can (and should be), be experts at. . Find a great support group of Allied Health Professionals and let them be the experts at what they do. . Then enjoy the freedom of being the expert at what YOU do . In the end, your clients will thank you for it (but their legal team@wont ). . #theafhp #fitnesseducation #alliedhealth #beyourownexpert #enjoyyourjob See more

07.01.2022 Certificate IV in Fitness Year 12 students progressing nicely through their course this year despite a small COVID standdown. All practical clinics are now in full swing and the students have progressed onto Functional Movement screening. A little stability to work on for some!

06.01.2022 Are you and your clients on the same wavelength? . Sometimes we can get carried away with all the possibilities we see for our clients. . To the trained eye, you can clearly see what they need to change. What exercise they need to do and what diet changes they need to make.... . So we design an amazing program. We can practically SEE the future them! . So we sit down and explain what were going to do for them and how great thats going to be. . Sometimes we might be right on the money and your client embraces the changes and the plan and off you ride into the sunset. . And sometimes...its a straight up nope - thats not gonna work for me. . The point here is that whether you like it or not, youre in a relationship with your client. And that means they need to have input and feel heard so they can take ownership of the program. . Remember - its THEIR program. Youre providing the expertise and advice to help them make the right changes, in the right way, at the right time. . The best results come when people are intrinsically motivated to achieve them. The trainers job is to help find where that motivation comes from and to help design the journey that inspires and excites as well as succeeds. . And that cant be done without everyone talking the same language. . #communication #fitnesseducation #yeahno #theafhp #clientcentered See more

03.01.2022 Heres the thing... . Its not about how amazing YOU are. . Its not about how fit you look and how many abs you can flash.... . Its not about you and how successful you have been. . Its about what you can do for your CLIENTS. . Take some time to find out what your clients need to succeed and how your skills and your approach can help THEM. . To be a great trainer you have to walk the walk, talk the talk... and do some listening . See more
