25.01.2022 Congratulations to our very own star athlete @shaqmaharaj for signing with the Central District Lions for the 2021 NBL 1 season. We've seen first hand the work ethic and ardent commitment to his training. But more importantly it's Shaq's humility and values that makes us so immensely proud. His passion for basketball has become his life and when you live, breathe and love a sport, success is inevitable.... This is only the beginning of great things @shaqmaharaj and we'll be there cheering you on throughout what will be a long and victorious career.

25.01.2022 #top9of2020 What a year of memories it has been. With what has been quite possibly the worst start to the year. We: rAIsed money to help relieve the bushfires that ravaged our country... Were forced to close our business for the first time since opening, due to Covid-19 Navigated an uncertain path for AI during lock down Lost one of the greatest athletes of our time However the second half of the year has also provided some of the best memories, as despite the ongoing pandemic we: Opened our doors to a bigger and better S&C facility Introduced new training opportunities including gymnastics classes with a world champion gymnast Upskilled ourselves, learning important techniques and skills from Professor Anthony Blazevich Rounded of the year with a celebration with our staff and members without whom there would be no AI. So enjoy our #top9 and thank you so much for your continued support. Keep those likes shares and comments coming and let's create bigger and better memories for 2021

23.01.2022 @ormsby.ai.coach here with your #toptiptuesday In order to achieve specific goals with your health and fitness / training, you need to be specific with your approach. Scientifically backed methods implemented according to objective data measures are something we pride ourselves on at Athletic Institute. As part of your initial consultation, we sit down with you and learn about your injury history, previous training history and future goals. ... We also go through a thorough movement screening and testing procedure. The results of your first session allows us to design training interventions that are as specific to you as possible. The body operates on the S.A.I.D principle which stands for Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands. Your body will only adapt to what it is given to work with, so your training needs to align with your goals as closely as possible. We want you to have fun and enjoy your training, but the exercises prescribed within your program are there for a reason. Our top tip is to ensure that your training program reflects your testing results so that you have the optimal chance of success. Get in contact with us and book your initial consultation today!

23.01.2022 There are more types of protein powder on the market today than ever before from rice and hemp to insect and beef. But two types of protein have stood the test of time, remaining well regarded and popular over the years: Casein and Whey. Casein and Whey are the two types of protein found in cows milk, making up 80% and 20% of milk protein respectively. ... Theyre high-quality proteins, as they contain ALL essential amino acids, which you must get from food since your body cannot make them. Here comes the science... Your body breaks down protein into many small molecules called amino acids, which circulate in your bloodstream until theyre absorbed. Levels of these amino acids stay elevated in your blood for four to five hours after you consume Casein, but only 90 minutes after you consume Whey. Note: TIMING IS EVERYTHING Casein protein provides your body with a slow, steady release of amino acids, making it ideal before fasting situations, such as sleep. On the other hand, because your body digests and absorbs Whey protein much quicker, it makes the perfect bookend to your workouts, as it will kickstart the muscle repair and rebuilding process.

20.01.2022 Today we're looking at Adrenal Fatigue. Some athletes struggle with their energy levels and often put it down to over-exercising, a lack of sleep or low iron stores. However, it can also be down to Adrenal Fatigue. When you're stressed or suffer from performance related anxiety, your adrenal glands may not produce enough Cortisol. ... This results in a lack of energy, low blood pressure, digestive issues, brain fog or muscle loss. As you can imagine, suffering from Adrenal Fatigue as an athlete can severely affect fitness and performance. Adrenal fatigue treatment is stress management. Some of your best biohacking tools are sleep hacking, anti-stress supplements, meditation, and possibly changing your caffeine intake. In combating Adrenal Fatigue, there are certain foods to avoid, in particular: Saturated animal fats Refined carbohydrates Caffeine or energy drinks Processed sugars Include Antioxidant rich foods A wide varieties of colourful fruits & veggies Grass fed meats Include Omega 3 fatty acids (olives, avocado, walnuts, flaxseeds) and foods high in Vitamin C, B Vitamins (especially B-5 and B-6), Magnesium and Zinc. Timing your meals is as important to maintain your energy and Cortisol levels. Eat breakfast before 10am to replenish blood sugar levels. Eat an early lunch and dinner should be by 6pm. Include regular healthy snacks to avoid an energy dip, never skip a meal and stay hydrated. Bonus! We have a delicious recipe for Adrenal Recovery Soup, so DM us and we'll send it to you See more

20.01.2022 Spotlight on our Specialised Class member Tom Roxburgh. Tom was 18 when he started training with Corey. When Corey opened Athletic Institute, Tom moved over with him and worked toward building strength to help him with the first of many Muay Thai fights and martial arts gradings. ... Tom's training and work ethic is commendable. He never misses a session, always has a smile on his face and his warm personality makes him a popular member of the AI family. Tom's performances in martial arts are a result of his consistent and effective strength training, and he's a great athlete. Thanks for being our ride or die Tom. We really appreciate you.

18.01.2022 How resilient is the human body?? As resilient as you train it to be. The human body is incredibly adaptable with endless movement potential.... The more mobility you have, the more movement capacity you develop. There is no good or bad movement, you either have developed the capacity or you have not!

18.01.2022 #mumtobe Elise making the most of her last few weeks of quiet time. Gentle exercises like this seated adductor stretch offers many benefits, and especially if you're pregnant. It is a great opportunity to relax, reduce muscle tension in your lower back, and start preparing your body for childbirth.... A hip-opening stretch; the seated adductor also helps you focus on, and stabilise your pelvis. To enjoy this stretch, bring your feet together and relax. Try to flatten your knees towards the ground as feels comfortable. Hold for 20-30 seconds. Remember to go at your own pace, stop if you feel uncomfortable or experience pain, and get your doctors approval before undertaking any exercises during pregnancy.

17.01.2022 I can’t express how lucky we are to have a man of Tony’s caliber in Perth, & we are truly grateful & humbled that he took the time out of his hectic schedule to teach us all things related to running performance. We hosted an intimate 3-hour workshop looking at mobility, strength & power development plus so much more. This caps off the year for our team PD, & what a way to finish! Never think you don’t need to continually learn & evolve as a practitioner/ coach, as we can al...ways get better in some capacity. #raisingthebar @athletic_institute @bkperformance.training @strength_coach_corey @edithcowanuniversity @endure_iq @triathlontaren

17.01.2022 After what seems like an eternity since signing our new lease, we're finally open for business We've been delayed by a global pandemic () freight delivery issues, and ongoing red tape with the council. We continued to provide a world class service to our existing members and clients. ... We worked around the clock to keep the old gym thriving while working towards a bigger and better facility. To say the journey has been long and arduous is an understatement. But boy was it worth it We couldn't have done it without: @strength_coach_corey @bryce_strength_coach @ck_nutrition_ @ormsby.ai.coach @nhatvu.aep.sc @ai_coach_drew @the.burnt.orange @happilykruti @bkperformance.training @rosharnafemia We're so excited to open our doors to old clients and new.

We also learned that Olivier is truly a great man with so much passion for the field, & we are grateful we can call him a friend of AI! @athletic_institute @bkperformance.training @endure_iq @triathlonwa @triathlontaren @ironmantri @im703busso #altitude #altitudetraining #raisingthebar #hypoxia #performance #oxygen #running #run #triathlon #cycling #everestbasecamp #colorado #fitness #fitnessmotivation #gym #education #team #culture #learning

15.01.2022 Ali @the.burnt.orange here. This week at AI we're looking at Insulin Resistance and Type 2 Diabetes. Insulin increases the storage of fat and reduces the bodys ability to use fat for fuel. ... This can lead to weight gain, and the worsening of insulin resistance. However, food is medicine, and the good news is that diet can help decrease insulin resistance. Low carb foods are ideal, but doesn't mean low in taste. Check out these super delicious and healthy options: Kale Chips - Only 2.7 grams of Net Carbs and features heart-healthy olive oil and sea salt. Lettuce Wrapped Burger - Replacing buns with lettuce reduces net carbs to just 0.8 grams! Zucchini Pasta with Almond Pesto - Swapping pasta for thin ribbons of zucchini is only 4.8 grams of Net Carbs. Using food to fight against diabetes is a smart choice and something you can do TODAY.

14.01.2022 In today's nutrition post we look at how youth athletes relationship with food changes as they hit puberty. While their growing bodies need to be fuelled anyway, the additional nutritional requirements necessary for undertaking training and competition, requires more food intake than ever before. However upon hitting puberty, what your body looks like takes precedent and causes a mental shift. ... Many become so obsessed on what they eat, it turns their focus away from training and can adversely affect performance, and more importantly be damaging to their mental health. To fuel an athletes body for optimal performance can require strict nutritional considerations. However parents of youth athletes, and the athletes themselves, can be misled by the many dangerous and conflicting nutritional information available. It is essential that all professionals responsible for youth athletes, educate them on optimal nutrition for performance and recovery. Reinforcing a healthy long-term relationship with food, and helping to develop a positive body image is more important than monitoring body fat percentages! We take our responsibility to our youth athletes very seriously, which is why we have a full time Accredited Sports Nutritionist to offer help and support. If in doubt... Ask See more

14.01.2022 Are you an Acidic or Alkaline eater? Yes everyone always thinks lemons are acidic, but are they really? Read through to the end to find out. Your Acid-alkaline status within the body is increasingly relevant as our modern western diets are pushing us towards more acid-forming diets. ... Your metabolism the conversion of food into energy is sometimes compared to fire. Both involve a chemical reaction that breaks down a solid mass. Similar to fire, the foods you eat leave an ash residue known as metabolic waste. This metabolic waste can be alkaline or acidic. This higher acid level can increase the chances of developing and progression of chronic health conditions such as hypertension or kidney disease, as well as increase your chances of muscular injuries. Diet is a powerful way of influencing human acid-alkali status Recent studies in sports medicine suggests the process of alkalisation can increase an athletes capacity for high-intensity exercise and recovery. This is why a diet that contains alkaline forming foods is important in maintaining acid-alkai balance. By choosing more alkaline foods, you should be able to "alkalize" your body and improve your health & performance. Certain food groups are considered acidic or alkaline: Acidic Sugar Processed foods and meats, such as corned beef and turkey Sodas and other sweetened beverages High-protein foods and supplements Alkalining Soy, such as miso, soy beans, tofu, and tempeh Unsweetened yogurt and milk Fresh veggies and fruits (Inc. Lemons!) Beans and lentils Whole grains, such as millet, quinoa and amaranth Olive oil, avocados , nuts, and seeds By choosing more alkaline foods, you should be able to "alkalize" your body and improve your health and performance. *** Answer: Lemons are actually both acidic & alkaline. When naturally acidic foods like lemons are digested, they become alkaline forming, and no longer contribute acids to the system.

14.01.2022 #motivationmonday , , Working all weekend to get it done. It'll be ready realllll soon

14.01.2022 @happily_kruti AI Marketing Manager here with some exciting news Our elite facility is set to open on Monday 17th August 2020! There will be new equipment, a new smoothie bar, new coffee machine, frickin new everything! Except the staff, they're here to stay. (We tried to get new ones but that would mean getting staff photos redone, and Corey blew the budget on a new desk)

13.01.2022 A little motivation to get you through hump day It wasn't that long ago when all we wanted to do was workout in the gym. Now we're all back into the swing of things, that initial motivation might be waning. ... Remember, it's in the continuous effort that our success is formed. Speak to your coaches if you're feeling lacklustre, but never give up

13.01.2022 #throwbackthursday Wow, this was taken 4 years ago when #athleticinstitute started coming to life. The beginnings of an extraordinary adventure no-one envisioned.... Now thanks to the entire team (the backbone of this gym) and all our loyal members and supporters, were in the process of getting our new gym ready. , .

13.01.2022 Yes we have a coffee lounge and that's not because we're being fancy! We know that coming to the gym can be daunting for some, tiresome for some and thrilling for some. We know that when it comes to our Youth athletes, parent taxiing can be a workout in itself.... Having a place to sit down and take five minutes to unwind and get into the right frame of mind is important. They say you are a product of your environment. Success by design was our objective when it came to building our new gym. That's why we designed an environment conducive to that success. We have the best coffee from @brewcoffeeroasters so you can enjoy a coffee before/after you train for only $3. You can purchase all your meals & coffees at the coffee lounge without staff assistance. Cheers See more

13.01.2022 Client spotlight: Youth Athlete Isaac Riccadonna Isaac joined AI almost a year ago with the goal of improving his performance for his favourite sports. After completing a movement screen and a mobility and strength assessment, we identified discrepancies to focus on and set a baseline.... Since his initial assessment, Isaac has put his head down, worked hard and stayed consistent with his training. In the year Isaac has been with us, he has: Gained almost 10kg (60kg to 69.7kg) Improved his FMS score of 10/21 to 18/21 Improved mobility in his hamstring and shoulder Increased his average squat jump height and power from 33.4cm to 44.3cm Improved his reactive strength index from an average of 1.7 to a max of 2.1 Successfully completed 11 strict bodyweight chin-ups (previously he couldn’t do 1) Successfully completed 28 push-ups ( improved from 15) Lifted 22.5kg for 3 reps in the DB Bulgarian Split Squat. This is absolutely phenomenal progress after just one year of consistent training. How? Isaac doesn’t make excuses. He never misses a training sessions, shows up with a fierce hunger to be better, will always ask for more when he’s finished, and he has fun with the other athletes. We provide the expertise, equipment and support, but what Isaac has achieved is completely due to his work ethic and desire to be better. We love having you with us Isaac, and we are super excited to see what you will achieve in the future.

12.01.2022 Wow we've missed you! This has certainly been a testing time, however we're so pleased to be able to open our doors for you again. It is still early days yet and we want you to know that your safety is paramount. ...

11.01.2022 Spotlight on @the_tom_bentley Tom joined the AI family in August 2019 after he began suffering with knee related injuries through running. Progressing through an individualised program designed by our Exercise Physiologist @nhatvu.aep.sc, Tom started seeing noticeable improvements within the month and ran his first half marathon soon after. ... Tom is now training for a full marathon in 2020 () aiming for a 3:05 marathon in 2021 and hoping to qualify for the Boston marathon in 2022. That's quite a goal, but we know that Tom has got it in him to succeed. Tom is a great example of what hard work and commitment can achieve. His attitude, friendly nature and willingness to go the extra mile (pun intended ) is commendable. A truly valued member of the AI team. Onya Tom See more

10.01.2022 Athletic performance is heavily reliant on optimal nutritional habits. However an increase in allergies and intolerances can make following a "traditional" diet difficult. A solution? Biohacking! ... Nutrigenomics is a type of biohacking that analyses how ingesting certain food helps or harms your genetic signature. Biohackers claim your total genetic expression can be mapped out to see the impact of the foods you eat on your immunity, thyroid function and athletic performance. This can then be optimised through a test and measure process; eliminating foods that negatively affects your health. Another option is a tailored health scheme which encompasses digital health trackers, advanced probiotics, 4 pillar gut profile tests, stress hormone profiles, allergy testing and DNA diagnostics. The idea is to make food enjoyable again. This allows athletes to focus on their sport, safe in the knowledge that their nutrition won't adversely affect their health.

10.01.2022 And last week this happened

09.01.2022 Great to have Liza Harvey and Brett Raponi visit us and listen to the struggles local businesses like ours have faced in the recent months. It was good to have the opportunity to highlight the importance of supporting local and helping our employees stay in work. Athletic Institute has always been about giving members a place to grow physically, mentally and emotionally. COVID-19 was a time when we all needed that outlet. So to be able to open again has been a real bles...sing. We're lucky to be able to continue to provide that place for our athletes and members. Our new facility is also opening up soon, and we look forward to the continued support of our community and local government. See more

08.01.2022 It was an honour to have Liza Harvey in the facility this week to discuss all things local business during these tough times. Its great to see the liberal opposition leader understands that supporting local business which supports the economy is the highest of priorities. Being a small company that employee 10 staff hasnt been easy during these times, but one thing WA people do well is get through adversity and we will continue to get stronger post COVID!

08.01.2022 Onwards and upwards As well as a brand new facility, state-of-the-art equipment, the best coaches and even better members, we're upping the stakes once more. From the 1st October 2020, AI will be a 24/7 facility for our Open Members ... Your health and safety is our priority, and therefore we have: Installed 24/7 security surveillance with 4 cameras located in key areas. Wristbands for you to wear if you are in the facility after hours. An AED (defibrillator) located in the centre of the facility. All existing and new members wanting to transition to 24/7 membership will be required to go through an induction process. If you want 24/7 access, speak to your coach when you're next in the gym See more

08.01.2022 PSA: Doors to the gym are open today and we couldn't be happier. While there may be an overwhelming temptation to get stuck straight into your usual training program, the 'go hard or go home' mentality isn't a good idea right now. We've had 8 weeks of training with limited or no equipment. Being a hero and thinking you can pick up where you left off can lead to severe delayed onset muscle soreness which will halt training for a few days. Your body WILL fail you if yo...u push too hard, and the mental impact of that can be just as damaging. Take your time, listen to your body and don't forget to warm up, cool down and stretch.

05.01.2022 Our Altitude Room Isn't she lovely An Altitude Room for many is seen as a luxury, but for us it's a necessity. We train and write programs for many endurance athletes including cyclists and triathletes. So ensuring their best chance of success is our responsibility. Cyclists ride in environments of low altitude. The reduced oxygen in the air mean less can make its way into the blood stream. ... Here comes the science These low levels are detected by cells in the kidneys which trigger an increase in a hormone called Epo which controls red blood cell production. A flood of Epo is released into our blood vessels and travels into the larger bones in our body. This leads to an increase in the number of oxygen carrying red blood cells. (stay with me, it gets good ) Even though the air is thinner, inside our body, oxygen levels are largely unaffected. It's this process which gives cyclists the ability to carry out such physically demanding activities at altitude. Standby to be mind blown The best way to trigger this process is by ! Yes, it can be done. Inside our kidney cells, Epo are normally produced at low levels as and when we need it. However after prolonged exposure to Hypoxia (through training in an altitude room for example ) a physical change is made to the DNA that codes the production of Epo!!! A chemical tag is removed from the DNA and CHANGES the way the gene is read, acting like an 'on' switch to boost its activity. This is a change our genes remember, making it easier to adapt the next time we ascend. Just another way we're rAIsing the bar here @athletic_institute and @bkperformance.training

02.01.2022 More and more athletes are reducing their supplement intake, and look to implement specific "diets" instead. The Ketogenic diet has become the diet of choice due to its high-fat, low- carbohydrate and normal intakes of protein (60% Fat, 10% Carbs, 30% Protein). This is because this style of eating forces the body to burn the fats rather than carbohydrates to generate energy. ... In Sports nutrition, a Keto diet is recommended as part of a training plan, specifically for endurance athletes who race at a constant rate and speed, for longer periods of time. However, the verdict is out on whether it boosts or hinders performance for short-burst anaerobic exercises. Sports such as soccer, footy and basketball as well as sprints and other high intensity activities, could be comprised if on a low-carb/high-fat diet such as Keto. This is because these sports require access to energy fast and regularly which is best fuelled from high-quality carbohydrates. Theres a time and place for certain foods depending on the planned activity, so touching base with an expert in the area is a great idea. It just so happens that we know a great one.
