25.01.2022 What can you expect at a Barbwire Fitness HIIT Class? . We'll start with a nice simple warm up that's relevant to the workout that will follow. This will include some mobility and movements to start to lift your heart rate a little. . Then the real work begins. The session will be programmed so that you can essentially take it at your own pace. Experienced exercisers will get the chance to push themselves to the limit, while beginners or people that are rehabbing injuri...es will be able to take it at a slower pace if desired. I always ensure there are options for everyone! . These sessions will be different every single time and will include various modalities of fitness including aerobic work, strength movements, core and agility work, plyometrics - you name it! . We finish things off with some light stretching and bringing down the heart rate. And of course, some high fives . Not sure if HIIT sessions are for you? Flick me a message and we can chat about any concerns you may have! See more

25.01.2022 Working on those strength gains with personal training client @moniika13 . Monica has come leaps and bounds from where she was just a couple of months ago. It's crazy what a little extra time, attention and consistency can do for you. . That's the beautiful thing about personal training. It's 100% catered to YOU. Monica wants to work on technique and build strength - so that is exactly what we do. When she started with me, Monica was barely comfortable deadlifting the... 15kg barbell. Now that we've altered her technique and built some confidence, she easily deadlifts 60kgs! . And we're only hitting the tip of the iceberg. I can't wait to see what this girl can achieve See more

24.01.2022 Set realistic goals. Create a plan. Put in the work. Be consistent. Stay accountable.... Trust the process. . Don't expect to get results that you haven't worked for. Don't expect things to change overnight. Don't compare yourself to others. Don't look for quick fixes. Don't give up over minor set backs. Don't create excuses. . You are the only one in control of your priorities. Invest your time in yourself and great things can happen. See more

22.01.2022 Just like Kenny boy, we can't wait to get back to those sweet sunrise workouts followed by coffee at our favourite spot . Only one vacancy remains in the next round of my six week challenge which kicks off on Monday 21 September. Message me to secure it or for more information!

21.01.2022 When the whole squad is rockin' that merch

20.01.2022 The feels when you know bootcamp starts tomorrow

19.01.2022 Day 1 of our 6 Week Challenge - done and dusted! . There's nothing like a little partner workout to get things kicked off. I'm not letting these guys off too easy this time around. With most of the crew being repeat challengers, they're already well on their way to kicking some goals! . Super impressed by everyone's efforts today and pumped for what these guys will be capable of in six week's time #bringonwednesday

16.01.2022 It's a bittersweet feeling wrapping up each bootcamp block. . On the one hand, I miss spending three mornings each week with my challengers. On the other, I'm so proud of everything they've achieved. And whether my bootcampers decide to continue training with me or not, I know I've helped them on their journey and impacted their life in a positive way . If you're looking to join a small group of amazing individuals who work hard to improve their fitness, but have fun and create great friendships while doing it - stop looking 'cause you've found it

14.01.2022 What drives you? . Why do you workout? Why don't you workout? What do you want to achieve?What do you want to avoid?... How do you stay on track? How do you know when to kick it up a notch or pull it back and rest? . There are so many different reasons to get your body moving. Knowing how to do that efficiently and effectively is the hard part - and that's where I come in. Group fitness takes the guess work away and leaves you with an awesome workout, awesome company and did I mention that view?! . We're currently in week three of my six week challenge and these guys are already kicking goals! How's your training going? See more

14.01.2022 From hot and sunny to dark and raining - nothing was stopping my bootcampers from smashing this week's workouts . I'm so impressed with how both of my bootcamp groups performed this week. We had some first box jumps, some goal kicking push ups and a whole lot of laughs! . Well done, Barbwire fam!

13.01.2022 PART 1 How to avoid injuries . Plain and simple -- injuries suck. Especially when you have an active lifestyle. But everyone should know how best to deal with injuries so they don't get the better of you! . Apart from accidental injuries (you know when you're too busy thinking about dinner and you trip over the sidewalk and roll your ankle ), there are ways we can minimise our risk of injury during exercise. Here are a few of my key tips:... . Practice correct movement technique. Poor form exposes you to potential injuries -- even more so when there's added resistance (barbells, dumbbells, etc). If you don't know what you're doing during a workout or if a movement gives you pain or feels uncomfortable, ask your coach for assistance. Alternatively, if you're working out solo, do your research before implenting a new movement into your regime. Make sure you know which muscle groups should be working and what the goal of the movement is or I would advise avoiding the movement until you know how to perform it correctly. . Follow adequate recovery protocols. This means getting enough sleep and managing your training load. Aiming for 7 - 9 hours of sleep each night is ideal and there's really no excuse here -- GO TO SLEEP EARLIER . Appropriate training load will be different for everyone depending on your experience and fitness level, so you'll really need to listen to your body on this one. If you're feeling fatigued -- it's probably time for a rest day! . Warm up, cool down and do your damn mobility work. This means pre and post workout stretching. Don't wake up and jump straight into a crazy workout. Warm your body up with relevant lighter intensity movements and stretching. Then follow up your workout by more stretching and lowering your heart rate. . Our bodies can do awesome things, but we need to treat them right. Stay tuned for where to turn if you're unlucky enough to score yourself an injury PS. Don't stress, it's not the end of the world! See more

13.01.2022 CANCELLATION NOTICE Due to the current weather warnings, I've decided to pre-emptively cancel this afternoon's HIIT and tomorrow morning's Boxing classes. Safety must come first and I don't want to risk anyone being caught out in bad weather. There's plenty of other time for us to get a great workout in, but for now let's focus on staying safe and dry. Go away, Kimi! ... I will keep everyone in the loop as the days go by and we see what the weather does, but hopefully we'll be able to return to normal by the time Tuesday night Hip Hop rolls around!

11.01.2022 Anyone else want these rest day vibes? . . . .... . @boundlessbykara See more

11.01.2022 Friday's are for free coffeeeeee . Shoutout to @lori_shantelle who scored Bootcamper of the Week! Lori started off her Barbwire experience by coming to casual sessions with me in Giru, but moved to Townsville this year and kept up her bootcamp commitments. I am so impressed with how much I've seen her improve, especially during the last five weeks. She never makes excuses and has really been able to push herself outside her comfort zone lately. . Keep up the great work, Lori! You are capable of big things @ Axell Rose Coffee

09.01.2022 So bloody proud of my Giru Crew! They smashed this yesterday's killer session . The improvements these ladies have made over the last year or so has honestly blown my mind. I knew what they were capable of, but seeing it come to fruition is such a humbling thing. Just two sessions a week has given these ladies so much strength, endurance, coordination and confidence. They're all an amazing example of what you can achieve if you stay consistent. You don't have to be doing anything crazy, just keep showing up! . Well done ladies

08.01.2022 I'm adding something a little different to the timetable this year As some of you may know, I LOVE dancing - more specifically, hip hop. I've been teaching hip hop on and off since I was in my teens and love it as not only a form of exercise and socialising, but also a creative outlet! Unfortunately Townsville doesn't seem to have a lot on offer for adults who want to do this kind of thing, so I figure why not offer it myself! This class is open to men and women of all ex...perience levels aged 16+. You do NOT have to be a confident dancer to come along. It's just a bit of fun, exercise and you honestly do get better with a little consistency. This video is a little example of the kind of thing we'll do in class If you're keen to come along and give it a go, I am offering a FREE trial this week only! Join me TUESDAY 6:30pm - 7:30pm 10 Gurney St, Garbutt Message me with any questions Classes will normally be $15 for a casual visit or $120 for a 10 visit pass.

07.01.2022 Still trying to get your exercise groove back post lockdown? I can help . It's almost time for round two of my 6 Week Challenge and I'm now taking sign ons! What better way to amp up your fitness than with an awesome group of like-minded people?! . What's included? ... Three 45-minute group fitness sessions each week Online team forum for peer encouragement and trainer support Fitness appraisal to measure progress Constantly varied workouts to target all areas of fitness (strength, agility, endurance, coordination, mobility, etc) Discounted rate of treatment at Performance Physio Group (but let's hope you don't need it!) Weekly prize for Bootcamper of the Week Workouts that can be varied for different levels of experience and abilities Fully qualified and experienced fitness coach programming and running every session ( that's me!) . If you'd like to secure your spot or if you have any questions, flick me message or comment on this post and I'll help you out! See more

07.01.2022 When the Friday squad has a dress code . Wrapping up week four of six in style with a partner workout and some cheeky stair sprints. I am so damn proud of these guys! Everyone is getting so much stronger and fitter with each and every session. It goes to show what you can achieve when you stay consistent! #trusttheprocess . Happy Friday, y'all

06.01.2022 It's finally here! Round 1 of our 6 Week Challenge for 2021 This time I've developed two different options for sign up to try and best meet your needs! Option 1: For those of you who are happy to stick to the three regular sessions each week: Monday, Wednesday & Friday 5:30am - 6:15am.... Option 2: For those of you who may want to mix it up and get a few additional workouts in or try a different day/time. There will be six total sessions offered per week as of Feb 1 Both options are a one-off payment, but payment plans are available if needed. All sessions are 45 minutes in length and are held at Jezzine Barracks. Suitable for men and women of all fitness levels! While this is a "challenge", the general goal is FITNESS. Therefore there's no restrictive diets to follow or a big focus on weight loss - everyone's goals are so varied that I like to keep the focus on what your body can ACHIEVE rather than what it looks like. In saying that, I have had clients asking to track their measurements which is why I've made it an option this time around, but the choice is completely up to you! However, with the additions of an accountability calendar (for you to track workouts, rest days etc) and a wellness guide (helpful information on sleep, recovery and nutrition), I'm confident we can get you kicking goals no matter what they are! Eager to sign up or want more information? Flick me a message and we can chat! Spots are strictly limited so get in quick to secure yours! Sign ups close 29 January.

02.01.2022 PART 2 What to do if you've scored yourself an injury . One of the most critical parts of dealing with an injury is knowing exactly where to seek help. I believe this is where most people get a little stumped and why sometimes recovery takes longer than expected, or simply doesn't happen at all. . Here's an easy way to determine which health professional you should see for different injuries or health conditions (note: these are just common examples we see in the fitn...ess industry, obviously their scope ranges far beyond in some circumstances): GP: Broken bones, poor sleep quality, fatigue Chiropractor: Skeletal alignment issues Physiotherapist and/or Exercise Physiologist: Sprains, strains, muscular issues, chronic diseases . In my honest opinion, I find I rely heavily on my physiotherapist/exercise physiologist. I believe having a quality allied health professional in these fields are essential to most athletes and recreational exercisers. They work to diagnose your injury and provide physical therapies rather than attempting to mask injuries with painkillers and "band-aids". . Do your research before visiting ANY allied health professional as they are not all created equal. . IMPORTANT: If you're new to exercise, don't mistake delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) for an injury. This is a very common effect and is completely normal. If you're unsure as to what DOMS is, a great example is the feeling of not being able to sit on the toilet after doing a lot of squats because your muscles are extremely tender #youarewelcome See more
