21.01.2022 If it doesn’t challenge you, it doesn’t change you Day 1 of iso 2.0 and we are all smiles hitting our first home workout. We might be getting very friendly with the dumbbell and kettlebell over the next 6 weeks but if CrossFit has taught us anything you don’t need much to keep fit! We are going to face this head on and as a community and we are so lucky to have each other over the next 6 weeks! #breakwaterathletics

21.01.2022 The never ending pursuit to be better. There is no such thing as weaknesses, just opportunities to learn and become better. Working on something you find challenging is humbling and requires a positive attitude. Don’t hold yourself back due to fear of failing or you will never learn. Half way through the week so keep grinding team ... #breakwaterathletics

20.01.2022 Read that again. Heading into our last few weeks of lockdown () it’s time to revisit your goals. What does success look like for you? People often underestimate their potential out of fear of failing. Without mistakes there is no opportunity to learn. Take some time to write your goals down and think about how you will achieve them in the coming months. Our advice would be to share these with your coach that contacts you every week or a friend. You are much more likely to... achieve your goals if you are accountable to someone. Keep working hard everyone, we are almost there #breakwaterathletics

07.01.2022 Lockdown 2.0 If you haven’t already heard stage 3 restrictions will be enforced as of midnight Wednesday night for 6 weeks hopefully ending on the 13th September. We will be giving our members plenty of information over the next few days about how we plan to support you through the next few weeks. But firstly we would like to say this..... It’s ok to feel upset, disappointed, stressed, overwhelmed or whatever emotion you are feeling. So much information in one day is a lot to process so we won’t bombard you. Take time, give yourself a break and be kind to yourself and people around you. It is tough for everyone in Victoria right now and we want to reassure our community that we are here for you just like you have all been here for us. We will be extremely sad to close the doors again but no challenge can stop us moving forward Thank you to our amazing community for the ongoing support #breakwaterathletics

01.01.2022 When you hit that sweet snatch spot The snatch is an extremely technical movement requiring strength, mobility and stability. The skill of moving the barbell from the floor to overhead in one fluid motion involves a balance of speed and power. If you are looking to improve your Olympic lifting we have coaches that are particularly passionate about the art of lifting and can help you reach your goals... #breakwaterathletics
