25.01.2022 Teamwork makes the dream work At The Colosseum we love supporting all our members to continually chase their goals whether it's doing their first or fifth competition, giving nutritional guidance or just making you laugh after a stressful day.

25.01.2022 Put your hands up if you love Sunday sleep ins! Our little Gladiator Harry loves to work out with Mummy and Daddy at home - just not sure about the sleep ins

25.01.2022 Dessert Alert Rather than buying ice cream in a shop you can actually create your own frozen yoghurt. Its not icecream of course but similar. Definitely satisfies and is super delicious And it is super easy to make! Simply blend frozen fruit and high protein yoghurt in a food processor. Done and ready to eat . If you have kids - they will love it too!... I use raspberries as my frozen fruit (its high in antioxidants) but you can also use frozen banana or mango (both higher in carbs though). Whatever you like really. In the picture I used approximately 200g high protein yoghurt and about 150g raspberries. Giving you a macro split of about 19g carbs, 1g fat, 21g protein. I did not add any sweetener. If you like it sweeter you could add frozen banana or even a little bit of honey. My new favourite! So delicious!

21.01.2022 Plank Challenge Happy Sunday Crew. Today were launching a weekly challenge. Challenge if you choose to accept it;... You must hold a plank for a total of 10 mins. Every time you break you must complete 3 x burpees, 3 x sit ups, 3 x air squats 3 x push ups. So for example: If you break after 3 mins you must do the penalty and then start again from 3 mins. If break again at 5 mins you must do penalty again and then restart at 5 mins etc. until you have planked for 10 mins in total. Your score is number of reps at the end of 10 mins...with a lower score the better. Happy Planking

21.01.2022 Hope you are all as excited as Matt that the gym is open tomorrow Can't wait to see you all at 8am for Super Saturday (safe distance ) Pair's Rock on

20.01.2022 Consider The Mental Benefits Of Exercise The physical benefits of being active are obvious, but its only once you start exercising regularly that it also becomes clear how much of a boost it can provide to your mental health. Try to disconnect from the your daily stresses you might be experiencing in your work and home life, and pay attention to your workout rather than let your mind flit to the past or future.... #colosseumperth #stayfitandhealthy #healthybodymindandsoul

16.01.2022 Did you know that the healthy actions of others rub off on us? A study published in the Journal of Social Sciences found that participants gravitate towards the exercise behaviours of those around them. Other studies confirm that working out with a partner significantly increases time spent exercising. The research showed that working with a partner, especially in a team format, improved performance, doubling the workout time of those who exercised alone.... So why not grab a friend, work colleague or partner and join us for a free trial.

16.01.2022 Happy birthday to this incredible lady! Lisa you truly are an inspiration, we appreciate your dedication and motivation to us all and the Colosseum Crew would like to wish you lots of love, laughter and happiness on your special day. #happybirthdayboss... #21plusshippingandhandling See more

07.01.2022 The Overhead Press is a full body, compound exercise. Your shoulders and arms press the weight over your head while your legs, lower back and abs balance you. Heres how to Overhead Press with proper form 1. Stand with the bar on your front shoulders, and your hands next to your shoulders... 2. Press the bar over your head, until its balanced over your shoulders and mid-foot 3. Lock your elbows at the top, and shrug your shoulders to the ceiling. Hold the bar for a second at the top. Then lower it back to your front shoulders and repeat. Dont use your legs, keep them straight. The Overhead Press is one of the best exercises to build strong, muscular and healthy shoulders with bigger arms.

02.01.2022 5 Training Tips to Improve your Snatch Technique "The Snatch is a combination of strength, flexibility, power and technique" 1. Start Right, End Right - When you set up, check your feet, knees, hips and shoulders.... 2. Problem? Reverse the Chain - Working backwards from the snatch is the ideal problem solver. If you have a problem with your catch position, overhead squats and snatch balance are going to be your friends. For 90% of beginners it is the second pull (from the knee into the extension). Dip snatch and hang snatch above knee will be your next port of call. 3. You are as Weak as your Weakest Point - Making your weaknesses your strengths is essential. 4. Pulls, Pulls, Pulls and do them Correctly! - Essential for technique and strength, without these, you cannot get enough mileage on the correct positions for it to carry over into your snatch! Pulls that emphasise control, with a shrug with the shoulders and up onto the toes. Just snatching to improve your snatch is like learning to drive a car under race conditions, you really need some quiet time to work just on control and movement patterns. 5. Snatch Technique is Nothing Without Strength - The old Russian weightlifting research show that the snatch on average is about 60% of your maximum back squat.
