25.01.2022 LAST CROSSFIT SESSION Oooh I’m just a bit emotional today...this place. There is so much I could say about CrossFit and I have over the last year and a ha...lf. I’ve always sung their praises and I always will. In radio, heck in any career that has you travelit’s so important to find your people outside of work. I truly did in this place. I am so thankful that not only did I actually get stronger and faster, but I met some of the most kindest and beautiful people ever. People that made me feel like I had a family. The same mental stamina I learned here, I’ll use for my first big solo car trip tomorrow morning. 12 hours to Broken Hill! I got this for sure. The motto for @crossfit_2340 is DARE TO GREAT. Be it the perfectionist Virgo in me, or just who I am, but that has always and will always be a big part of me. The drive and the want to do better, to be better, to be great. I have been so lucky to train next to some insane athletes, each and everyone of you has pushed me. All the boys: Timmy, Will, The Daves, Az, Earl, Pete, Carter, Isaac before you left and Al when he was still with us, Trev and anyone I’ve forgotten. And the gals; Kez, Wen, Christine my BB buddy, Kel, Neet, Tash, DeeDee, Shaz, Annie, Gail, Nadine, Sherry, Rachel, Hollie, Sally and of course our reigning coaches Kim and Roni. Friggen love you all. Sorry if I missed a name, I’m gonna blame it on the DOMs #crossfit #girlswholift #crossfitgirls #crossfit2340 #daretobegreat #crossfittraining #tamworthnsw

25.01.2022 Kmart have done it again...... the Food Pyramid magnet set. Teaching the kids the food groups and which ones are the most important. This is simple and fun, thanks Kmart!

23.01.2022 Wait theres more I didnt post the full length ...woops

23.01.2022 We are a girl owned gym. 80% of our membership are female members. Alot of women like to be supported & coached by women, while men look to the same "most of the time" Our male members are awesome in the way they support & respect each other, our femele members, and us as female coaches. This is a shout out to them and that we support and appreciate you. Men get depression. Men get anxiety. Men get suicidal thoughts. Men get mental illness. Maybe instaed of saying " Man ...Up" Say.... #itsokaytotalkaboutit #shoutouttoourmen #morethanjustfitness #wegotyourback #mentalillness #menshealth #suicideprevention #itsokaynottobeokay #crossfit2340 #crossfitfamily #crossfit #crossfittamworth @ Tamworth, New South Wales See more

21.01.2022 Its times like we are experiencing right now that you really stop and reflect on what matters most. When we got news that we had to shut our doors we made a plan as to what was most important as to how we were going to move forward through this. Our members were our first priority and then we would sort the rest out as we got to it. Our members today presented us with this montage they had created with messgaes of what us and their community means to them. We may not have the biggest gym but i can tell you we have the members with the biggest hearts. So blessed so grateful so proud. Thankyou

20.01.2022 Easter weekend isolation family fun. We put out an Easter hat challenge to our members to get crestive whilst we were in isolation over the weekend and this is what was created. Our overall winner made a mini crossfit 2340 gym complete with chicken athletes During the stricter isolation rules our members have spoken about connecting better with family and taking the time to enjoy the things that may have been pushed aside due to time contraints. #easterlockdown #lookforthepositive #familytime #easterhat #glasshalffull #optimistorpessimist #crossfit2340 #crossfit #crossfitlockdown #tamworthnsw @ Tamworth, New South Wales

20.01.2022 ON FRIDAY NIGHTS WE LIFT ITS KINDA A BIG DEAL... @crossfit_2340 we come, we encourage each other, we hang out, we have misses we have wins. Above all we share in each others journey of lifting. One day i hope they to find the courage to find the platform because thats where the real fun is. Christine Smith hitting a new power clean PB of 67.5kg Rekaya French a new power clean PB of 60kg. (she was way to excited to get a video) Below is an article i found by Alyssa Ritchie... USA weightlifting team, which sums it up perfectly "It’s about the highs & the lows. It’s about showing all the little girls that it’s OK to have thighs, & mountains for traps. It’s about building my body to perform, regardless of the way it looks. It’s about striving to be better, not to be perfect. It’s where I let go and am worry free. It’s where I put my stress to rest. It’s where I can focus on pushing my mind, body, and spirit to new levels. It’s a place I can show all my little friends that they too can be strong & powerful. It’s where I thrive, where I come alive. It’s where I feel I can be constantly challenged. Lifting is not just about getting strong physically. It builds character, it builds heart, it strengthens your mind, teaches you how to become, & overcome. There is more to the iron than what meets the eye . Lifting is more than just about getting strong. #thickthighssavelives #weightlifting #fridaynightliftingnight #stronggirls #olylifting #watchthischick #strongisthenewskinny #daretobegreat #crossfit2340 #tamworthnsw

20.01.2022 What is fitness? It is defined as "the ability to carry out daily tasks with vigor & alertness, without undue fatigue & with ample energy to enjoy leisure time pursuits & respond to emergencies." Being fit & healthy means something different to each person it refers to your own optimal health which includes emotional & mental health. Physical activity can improve your health & reduce the risk of developing several diseases like Type 2 diabetes, cancer & cardio vascular dis...ease. So many people say i have to get fit to start Crossfit...No, you just need to start where your at with what youve got to get to where you want to go.. If you're tired of your excuses and want to get serious about YOU ..we can help you with the rest... #stopthebullshit #excusitis #areyouaquitter #gettinghealthy #buyingbacktime #fitnessisforallages #forallabilities #takethefirststep #noshame #crossfitmakingpeoplebetter #cronicillness #crossfit2340 #crossfit #crossfittamworth See more

18.01.2022 Sunday Night..... the time of the week that we love and dread at the same time. Thinking about what we have done the past week and what exciting things will happen this week. After enjoying some time this weekend for myself, child free and enjoying time with friends, it makes you realise that time for yourself is so so important and makes you feel good. Sometimes we get so involved in parenting, working, screen scrolling and don’t take the time to make ourselves a priority and we should. It’s time to start making you a priority, go and have a coffee, go and watch the footy, have a beer, go for a walk, or do a workout (best medicine ) and don’t feel guilty doing these things. Have a great week #metime #doingitforyourself #lookingafteryourself #enjoylife

18.01.2022 WHY DO YOU SHOW UP? What benchmarks do you set yourself for success? Why did you join a gym?... Was it for increased fitness, strength, performance, quality of life, friendship, better role model, a positive change in your life, acceptance? Is turning up X times a week how you measure it? Is it working towards a goal for a specific result and achieving that outcome your measure? How do you measure your success? How we choose to experience anything in this world is 100% up to us. We are responsible for how we choose to change our lives. Would it be fair to say then that you can only work successfully with a person who wants to create change ? As a coach its our responsibility to champion them, celebrate their wins, hold them accountable and act as a facilitator of change....

15.01.2022 I DONT WANT TO BE BULKY......... This is the one sentence we hear as Crossfit Coaches from women who shy away from lifting. Education is the key to why women should lift weights.. #strongwomenmaywebethemmayweknowthem. YOU WILL BE PHYSICALLY STRONGER........ **Which makes you less dependant on others for assistance in daily living. Everyday tasks will be easier, lifting kids, groceries, life. YOU WILL LOSE BODY FAT..... **As your lean muscle increases so does your resting metabolism, allowing you to burn more calories throughout the day. YOU WILL GAIN STRENGTH WITHOUT BULK. **Women typically dont develop big muscles from strength training because women have 10-30 times less of the hormones that cause muscle hypertrophy. Weight training doesnt make you bulky, excess body fat does. YOU DECREASE YOUR RISK OF OSTEOPOROSIS. **Weight training can increase bone density. YOU WILL IMPROVE YOUR ATHLETIC PERFORMANCE... **Whatever sport you play, weight training has been shown to improve overall performance. REDUCES RISK OF HEART DISEASE.... **Improves cardiovascular health. IMPROVE YOUR ATTITUDE AND FIGHT DEPRESSION... The act of exercise improves mood, increasing endorphins, dopamine and serotonin. Helps with confidence. Its never to late to benefit from strength training both physically and mentally. Improvements are possible at any age. If you want to know more or where to start send through a DM and we will help you with any strength goals. #fitterfasterstronger

14.01.2022 12 weeks ago we were forced to close our doors for an unknown period of time not knowing what was going to transpire over this time, financially, mentally, or personally but what ever was going to happen we were in this together and we would deal with it. I said to Kim "weve been in tough times before we can do this again" . #covid19 was a chance for us to work in & on our business. Look at things we needed to change, we could do better, where were there opportunities, how... to keep moving forward #postcovid19 as a community? It always came down to 1 thing, our base our purpose our reason, #ourpeople and what this space their gym #CF2340 means to them. So we kept moving forward day by day, if it didnt work we changed it or i threw it we adapted, we dug deep when we felt empty, we supported each other. #Resilience - the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties toughness #crossfit has developed this in us along with tenacity grind, perseverance, determination, discipline, persistence, leadership & community. I need to recognise my business partner @kimbomclean . We come from different walks of life, we are in different stages of our lives , we look at situations differently & react to situations very differently. I am a tough person never back down from a challenge, however i couldnt have got through the past 12 weeks without her . We communicated like never before, we laughed, we cried we talked about our futures with or without #CF2340, we #tiktok really bad and i still cant get her to feed the gym cats but thanks for being my right hand. Thanks @patbarber #wuwo for going above and beyond on the programming that made our life so much easier to focus on other things. Thanks to Kims parents for all your maintenance help without you we wouldnt have this new awesome looking space. Thanks Col Tomkins for your technology help in getting stuff up & running for us to move forward in the future with. Lastly to #ourcommunity our reason why thankyou to each and everyone of you for staying the course, supporting us, believing in us without you tomorrow may not have been possible. @ Tamworth, New South Wales See more

12.01.2022 Just a reminder there are no kids classes on tomorrow. Have a great weekend and see you all next week

10.01.2022 WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY DO??? OUR VISION .. Dare to be great.... OUR MISSION... To inspire & build people to step outside their comfort zones, and unlock their potential through fitness. OUR VALUES Communication, respect, teamwork, integrity, openness, honesty, inclusiveness. Together we do great things. "Its not about controlling people, its about guiding and energising people" John C Maxwell .. @ Tamworth, New South Wales

10.01.2022 TO OUR COMMUNITY.. Our community is so much more than #crossfit . We have spent the past 5.5 yrs building a community that is inclusive to all, it has centred around equality & respect for each other. The fitmess has been secondary to what we have created and the past 11 weeks during the # lockdown has been a true testiment to the community that surrounds us. The recent actions & comments of Crossfits CEO #gregglassman definately goes against our values and beliefs of our com...munity at #cf2340 Crossfit is the community, NOT just a brand. The community is bigger than 1 person, the movement is stronger than 1 person. We stand together in our belief that everyone should be treated the same way, and that racism or bigotry have no place in our community or world. Kim & I will continue to drive our community to build a strong base of leadership, transparency, togetherness and support. #standtogether #togetherwecreategreatthings #stopracism #stopdivision #blacklivesmatter #bethechange #equality #respect #values #beliefs #crossfit2340 #crossfitfamily #crossfitcommunity

07.01.2022 MEMBER HIGHLIGHT Meet Dee "With no Struggle, there is no Progress" We first met Dee when we hosted the #aboriginalknockout health challenge in Oct 2019. Dee was nervous & had a comment for everything fitness and why she didnt want to do it. As Dee progressed we found that one of her qualities is that she is coachable. ... WHAT IS COACHABLE? They view the input from others as a valuable tool in their development and are willing to take actions & make personal changes based on feedback. FAST FORWARD AUGUST 2020 Words from Dee.. "That one choice to join the gym has been one of the best decisions i have ever made, not only for my fitness but also my mental well being. Being surrounded with a group of like minded people makes a world of difference". Dee has stretched & challenged her comfort zone to DARE TO BE GREAT. Not only is she hitting the workouts now with the self belief of "I can" her mindset around her daily living has flicked to positive and winning at life is now a daily expectation & if she hits a bump in the road she now has the tools and support from her Crossfit family to help her through. Crossfit is more than fitness. "A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions" #shinethelight #becoachable #biggirlgettingstrong #youneverknowwhoiswatching #betheexample #doitforyourself #comfortzonesmashed #trusttheprocess #crossfit2340 #daretobegreat #fitfam #crossfitcommunity @ Tamworth, New South Wales

07.01.2022 Thankyou to all of our members who turned up today to honour this young fella Bradyn in support of the Keala Foundation We dont know Bradyn personally, his life was cut short when he was killed in a car accident in Hawaii. The Keala Foundation supoorts the youth of Hawaii and was founded in 2013 by a group of broken people suffering the effects from alcohol & drugs. They wanted to give back and serve the youth of their community. They created an after school.program to provide a safe place for them to be accountable, feel encouraged to learn healthy habits. They are doing some really positive things and we wanted to show our support for Bradyn, being a Crossfit kids community ourselves we can relate to the mission of helping kids feel safe, seen and valued within the community

04.01.2022 Cf 2340 is always a place where you can come to have the best hour of your day. It’s a place where we bring people together and create friendships from all walks of life. It is a place where we sweat, chat, joke and laugh together. It is a place where you always feel better when you walk out the door than when you walked in. (Apart from the wobbly leg walk) It is a place where people will build you up and encourage you to do great things. It is time for the best hour of your day!!!!

03.01.2022 Community is everything,. Its a group of people who share something in common. Its where we feel safe, its where we connect with others, its where we feel supported, its free of judgement, its where we are equal, its where we are valued, its our people, Could you be our fit ? #ourmembersareeverything #togetherwearestronger #togetherwecreategreatthings #together #crossfit2340 #communityiseverything #crossfitforlife #crossfitcommunities #crossfittamworthnsw

01.01.2022 THE OLD SAYING GOES... "Noone cares how much you know, until they know how much you care" We are in the business of people.... As a coaching team we have built our community around relationships. We didnt nail it everytime, we learnt from our mistakes, and kept moving forward. As a coach you need to be able to self reflect as hard as that may be at times. The problem is generally you. We believe coaching is about building relationships, hell there is a alot of Crossfit movement stuff we cant do however we have been able to help our members achieve success with their goals. I remember early on in my coaching career, feeling totally out of my depth, asking the question "do i need to be able to do all the moves to be a successful coach? The answer was NO, you will need to craft your communication. Our main role as coaches is to, Serve Teach & Coach When your members know your committed to them, they will then be committed to you and give their all for you. All great relationships are built on values, respect, love, trust and care.
