25.01.2022 Primal HIIT class was awesome this week. 15 motivated members smashed out this high intensity circuit. We did 2 rounds of the circuit, 40sec working efforts with 5-10sec between stations#hiitcircuit #clemjonescentre #gofaster #morereps @ Clem Jones Centre

25.01.2022 To achieve and maintain results, instead of eating perfectly for a period of time, and then terribly for a period of time, aim to eat good choices 90% of the time. Every couple of days you might have either desert after dinner, or a glass of wine or a beer, or eat lunch or dinner out. If youre training hard and regularly, an imperfect meal a couple of times a week isnt going to slow your progress much. However if you just eat crap for a few days or a week or two, then yes... its going to stall and probably reverse your progress. I suggest to not even try to be perfect with nutrition, as you will probably set yourself up for failure. Like I said, try the 90%/10% approach, train hard, do that consistently, and get the results youre after without sacrificing the foods you enjoy.

25.01.2022 Motivation doesn’t get you results. Motivation gets you started. Good habits implemented week after week that becomes your lifestyle, is what achieves lasting results. Good habits become part of your daily and weekly routine. You don’t think I don’t want to gym today, I think I’ll stay in bed, or I think I’ll just get take-away instead of cooking tonight. With good habits in place, going to the gym and eating healthy is just what you do now. It’s your default setting. So all we have to do to get lasting results is change and improve our daily and weekly habits. THIS IS NOT EASY! It’s bloody hard! Then again, not much worth having comes easy...

24.01.2022 100kg x 0 reps! Not one rep touched the chest plus butt lifted towards the end therefore no muscles were used in this set when my chest gets sore tomorrow it must have been from something not related to this workout... ps. Yes that last rep almost came back down on me, hence why I bench with the safety bars.

24.01.2022 The Air Deck @theclemjonescentre . HIIT classes, circuits, boot camp, yoga, Pilates, teen/kids fitness and many more happen here as well as our other studios. Such an awesome space. Very cool gym we have here @ Clem Jones Centre

24.01.2022 Who do you really want to be? (Thinking more about the physical you) What is the ideal version of you? For example, are they leaner, more muscular, stronger, more athletic, more energetic, more confident, more flexible and with less niggles and injuries? If you want to become that ideal version of yourself, you must start acting like that ideal version of you. Get clear with what habits you need to implement into your lifestyle... Would that ideal version of you... ... Be lifting weights 2-4 times a week? Doing some form of cardio activity to help maintain cardiovascular health? Eating healthy natural foods 90+ % of the time? Going to sleep earlier and getting up earlier so you have time to train and get food organised for the day? Quit drinking alcohol during the week and cutting alcohol down overall? Utilise time watching tv to stretch, foam roll, and work on fixing your niggles? There are of course other good habits to implement but these are some common ones. If you know the ideal version of you would be doing some or all of these things, and you really want to become that person, you know what you have to do... You dont have to incorporate all of these things at the same time. Aim to add one or two good habits into your daily and weekly routine this week, and then in a week add another one in whilst maintaining the previous ones. Nothing changes unless and until you change! Its a new day, a new week, so get to work!

23.01.2022 Is your current environment conducive to producing the results you want? If not, what can you do about it?

23.01.2022 Awesome deal for a gym/pool membership at this amazing facility and a fun family day out too!

20.01.2022 It doesn’t get much better as a trainer than receiving a message like this from an awesome client... so proud of Abby

20.01.2022 Keeping things ticking over in Thailand. Basic but decent little gym

19.01.2022 Awesome pt session Cindy including leg pressing 253kg x 20 reps and 273kg x 15 reps! It was spot on form too very impressive!#legpress #personaltrainer #strongwoman #100percent

19.01.2022 So much fat will be lost! This will be awesome

19.01.2022 My impressive new office! The Terry Mackenroth Gym at the Clem Jones Centre in Carina. A brand new, state of the art facility. I have been working here for a few weeks now as a gym instructor and personal trainer including HIIT circuit and HIIT cycle classes. I feel privileged to be a part of this amazing place. Yes Im still training my awesome clients out of Healthworks Cleveland and Victoria Point but mainly just mornings. #clemjonescentre #personaltrainer #flashgym #strengthtraining #changeofscenery @ Clem Jones Centre

19.01.2022 A simple reminder for those trainees who do not follow a particular "diet" or "system" of eating. If you like the looks of certain meals in a keto or paleo diet..., you can eat them. If your friend really loves their carbs and a certain meal of theirs sounds fantastic, you can have it. Just remember to get enough protein over the course of the day and then make sure these meals match your daily calorie requirements. Once you have checked these boxes your choices are many. The great advantage of not adhering to a system or diet is the flexibility you have to take what is useful from them and discard what isnt. Nothing is off limits outside of your calorie target and protein requirements. Every system and diet usually has some little gems that every trainee can take away to improve their own. Take the plunge, see whats out there and you may come away with some gems of your own.

19.01.2022 Fantastic deadlift of 100kg by Cindy McArthur today, equaling her pb from a few years back. After some set backs its great to see you get back to this level. Next deadlift session you will do an all time pb of 105kg! Its happening

18.01.2022 Why do weak people with injuries and ongoing niggles, who do no strength training, insist that strong people with no injuries will definitely wake up one day with a bad back/knees/shoulders/eyeballs and regret doing all that strength training... just you wait they say... youve got to laugh Here I am, 15 years after starting strength training, never having had a serious injury, and my body feels GREAT! Sure Im tired because I work weird hours and have a toddler but my bod...y is stronger than it was at 20-25 years old. Some people say the weights I lift are heavy... and they may be to that person, but to another person they are barely warm up weights. Strength is relative to each person and the training theyve done. Yet I do see countless people, who are weaker than me, trying to fix themselves of their seemingly never ending niggles and injuries. Some people dont seem to understand that a stronger body is LESS likely to get injured! Why would you not want to be stronger? I believe my clients and the people I talk to do understand and believe in what I say and do. Thank you to all those people

16.01.2022 Rack deadlifts. Smashes the entire back without bringing the legs in too much. Also allows me to function somewhat normally and train hard for the rest of the week, unlike floor deadlifts which allow me to hardly move at all This is the first 10 of 15 reps with 220kg. Didnt want you falling asleep waiting for the last 5 slow reps. Its a pb at my current light body weight so Ill take that. Excuse the facial expressions #rackdeadlift #shouldbeheavier #strengthtraining

13.01.2022 One of my fav triceps movements. Like a lot of exercises I dont use a full range of motion... sometimes a full ROM makes exercises less effective for the target muscle and not so nice on our joints. I always focus on keeping the tension on the target muscle and off the joints (elbows in this case). These are also great to work the abs. Work these hard and youll know about it for the next 2-3 days! My clients can vouch for that

13.01.2022 I introduced myself to the wife of one of my good clients the other day. I said hes done an awesome job and come a long way in the time hes trained with me (lost about 10kg and so much stronger and healthier). She said he loves training and going to the gym and is like a different person (stronger, lighter, healthier, eating cleaner, better frame of mind). All this from 2-3 x half hr weights sessions/week and a more mindful approach to nutrition. Consistent and long term weight training and a mindful approach to nutrition really can bring about some impressive benefits in our lives.

10.01.2022 Training the mind. Being very diligent with meditation these days and took the opportunity to visit this peaceful place again. #meditation #mindfulness #simplebutnoteasy @ Chung Tian Temple

07.01.2022 I wrote this earlier in the year and thought it would be worth sharing again. If you have some goals for your body, try not to fear scales, and instead use them to your advantage.

06.01.2022 Good session today 200kg hex bar deadlifts x8 reps. If someone said to me if you could only ever do one strength exercise again, what would it be? This is it! Like all deadlifts, theres a massive back and leg focus, but I can tell you pretty much every muscle in my body was switched on

06.01.2022 Cheapest performance enhancing supplement you can get (I think). $13 from Aldi and the quality looks second to none If youre after increased strength and power you cant go past creatine monohydrate Taking a supplement boosts the creatine levels that your body produces naturally, and can increase performance in strength and power based activities by up to 15%! Edit: - benefits are not felt immediately, and are noticeable after days/weeks of use. ... - after using creatine on and off for maybe a decade, I would say for me the increase in strength is close to 10%.

06.01.2022 I have always loved this meme Do you have any fitness favorites????
