25.01.2022 We are back and the milestones just keep on coming. This one is pretty special ( they all are ) and we just loved celebrating with Ali Hoopmann on her 100 club milestone yesterday. Dragged in by the Grivs just on 9 months ago but it feels like we have known Ali forever. She brings a great spirit to our club and is a friend and mentor to many. Love what you bring to our club Ali. Here's to the next 900 . Rob #efmfit

23.01.2022 This is a great milestone and celebration. We had a couple of members reach milestones just prior to closure but this one is history in the making for EFM Mt Barker. We congratulate Pip Williams on being the first member to actually achieve a major milestone in isolation. Along with many of our members Pip is doing our workouts and keeping up her fitness routine. She will be in top shape on our return. She is an amazing member and brings a great feeling to our club.Conratula...tions Pip on reaching this milestone under these crazy circumstances. Thanks for your ongoing support and we can't wait to help celebrate in the club on our return. I also need to take this opportunity to mention the launch of Pip's latest novel. The Dictionary of Lost Words. It is taking up heaps of my time in between the boat, pushups and sessions. A great read. Do yourself a favour and get a copy. Again, well done Pip. See you soon.Rob #efmfit See more

22.01.2022 Check this one out. 1000 big ones and this time one of the guys. We congratulate Jerry Pink on reaching this fantastic milestone. Joining us back in 2010 Jerry has been a loyal supporter and great friend of the club. A few breaks due to work commitments but always returning with renewed enthusiasm. An absolute machine and one of the few guys that can pull the chain off the rower. Thanks Jerry for all your years of support. Rob #efmfit

21.01.2022 Counting down to Christmas but the milestones just keep on coming. This member joined us as a student way back in 2013 and other than a short stint overseas has been with us since. Piers Lewis is celebrating his 500 visits with us and other than a slight hiccup with recent shoulder surgery hasn't slowed up one bit. A great effort Piers . We appreciate your support particularly through this somewhat different year. Looking forward to more of your milestones and 2021. Rob . #efmfit

21.01.2022 This one is going to hurt. Helen has updated her skipping challenge. Currently on 38 and aiming for 100. Part of my deal with her is for me to do half of her number in chin ups in one go. Go Helen, I think!!

21.01.2022 Great opportunity for all those that need a running or walking fix. Get a heap of exercise at the same time as supporting a wonderful organisation in Operation Flinders. Let me know if you need some additional training. Jump on their site to register Cheers Rob. EFM Mt Barker

20.01.2022 It's called innovation in isolation. Nothing fancy with the equipment here but Michelle Pietsch certainly made use of whatever is available. Well done Helen. Love you thinking. Cheers Rob #efmfit PS. No , you cannot bring the crowbar to the club !!

20.01.2022 Another massive achievement this week. Suzie Hindmarsh-Knights celebrating her entry into our 250 Club. A great member to have in the club. Providing plenty of laughs and keeping us all well read with her series of novels. Thanks Suzie for all that you bring to our club. Rob. #efmfit

20.01.2022 Love this challenge from Jo Powell. She is competing with her sister. They are doing a virtual walk from Dunedin across to Mt Cook. That is roughly 255Km in a straight line so add in a few hills for good measure. Not sure what the winner will get but I am sure Jo will keep us posted.

17.01.2022 Hi all. Check out this fantastic upcoming event sponsored by our local Rotary and Lions clubs. This is an important fundraiser for these groups and is also a terrific community event. Grab your friends and register for a great few hours of fun. Cheers. Rob

16.01.2022 Challenge accomplished. Now to reset and try for the 3:35 mark. Working on my chin up bar for Helen as well. Need to get some more results from members. I can't stand over you at present but I know you don't need that to stay motivated.

16.01.2022 Challenge update. This one from @Heather Watts. Heather has set herself a target of 100 non stop sit ups. Currently on 30 and improving every day. Heather sent me a video but I cant get it to attach here. I will work on that one but here she is celebrating a recent milestone. Great work Heather.

16.01.2022 Another amazing milestone but this one has only kicked off over the last few weeks . Starting with a light hearted challenge from one of our members at our Christmas party last year to have a crack at the VC one mile challenge. That is 5480 feet in VC language. Throwing that challenge out was Sandy Forster and accepting the challenge was another amazing member Lindsay Nobes. I won't dwell on the events but everyone in the club will know the history behind the challenge and the significance of this event. A massive recovery over several months , a few practice runs and success last week. Just to prove a point they beat their time again this week. Well done to both of you on a fantastic achievement. A real gutsy effort. #efmfit

15.01.2022 Day 3 of the club individual challenges. My result for today posted below. I need some mor echallenges and a few updates as soon as you have them. Another video workout later today. Trying to make a few more weights but runnng out of concrete bricks. Stay well. Cheers Robert. PS If anyone sees me in the club I am going to drop in and take the Defib to Hindmarsh ... #efmfit See more

15.01.2022 Check out this amazing milestone. 750 Visits from our life long member Tony Egan. Tony joined us in the first year of opening way back in 2007. That is one pretty amazing effort and puts him with a handful of members that have been with us from the very beginning. A great example to our members and also the wider school community and a fantastic supporter of our club. We thanks you Tony for your support over all these years both in the club and all of our functions over that time. Best quiz night compere we have had. Well done Tony and looking forward to that next big milestone. Rob #efmfit.

14.01.2022 A few more visits in this milestone. Joining us way back in early 2010, Darren, and indeed all of his family have been supporters of our club. Congratulations Darren on reaching that amazing 750 club milestone. Going about his business on a regular basis along with all of his other commitments. It has been fantastic having you in the club for all of those years. A great supporter and member. Rob #efmfit

14.01.2022 Check this one out. Fiona Collins has her own workout space and the best thing is the patented slides. She has these on Gumtree for around $5 a set but will be happy to negotiate for EFM Members. Well done Fiona . That is innovation in isolation at it's best. Great effort. Cheers Rob #efmfit

14.01.2022 Now we get on to the other really big events just celebrated. First up is one that is an amazing achievement. Joining us back in June 2018 we welcomed Lizzy as a young school student but one with a determination to succeed. Not only her fitness goals but life in general. Celebrating her 250 visits with us is something pretty special . Successes in the club and now commencing her first year into a Uni degree is something to be really proud of. We certainly are. Well done Elizabeth Schocroft . An amazing effort. Rob EFM #efmfit

13.01.2022 This milestone is pretty special. As they all are but this one is a little different. We are thrilled to welcome Eleanor Jane Towill into the world. Born 7.46pm on 5th Aug weighing in at 3.3Kg. We also congratulate Ali and Adam on their wonderful news. On the treadmill on Monday and having a baby on Wednesday. Pretty good effort . Well done to you both and many years of happiness ahead with your new daughter. See you both next week on the VC !!!!!. Maybe not.

13.01.2022 This is a shot of Ali Hoopmann flat out doing her workout yesterday . Looks more like having a sit down after all that birthday cake but the weights look impressive. Well done Ali.

12.01.2022 Another fantastic milestone achieved this week. Can't keep us down in Mt Barker. This time we are stoked to be able to congratulate our member Eril Jamieson on achieving her 500 Club membership. Joining us back in early 2016 Eril has been a a terrific supporter of our club and a great friend as well. We love having you and your smile in the club Eril. I might add however it has been hard to smile lately and that was a brave move with the jumper yesterday. Great supporting spirit. Well done Eril. Cheers Rob

12.01.2022 Great video from Ali this morning. Good form on the plank and getting a few pages of Pip's book at the same time. Well done . See you all in the club soon.

09.01.2022 March 2007 to March 2021 Happy Birthday EFM Mt Barker. 14 years old this month. Join in the celerbrations this month with our latest offer. Get two weeks of personalised training for $47. Seems like a deal you would have received back in 2007 not 2021. Service and training are still awesome but the coach has aged a few years. Call us today or just log in to our Website to register. Rob EFM Mt Barker #efmfit

09.01.2022 Ok . Holiday is over. Back in business tomorrow 6:00am. Going to be cold but we will warm you up. Remember , bring a towel. Let your friends know as well. The more the merrier. We can accommodate up to 20 at any session . See you tomorrow.

08.01.2022 Last of our Isolation milestones. Just been waiting on some gear. This one is another amazing achievement and if you know Megan Adey (Calman) you won't be at all surprised. Joining in Sep 2016 Megan has wracked up 750 visits in that time. A big chunk of those in lockdown as well. A great competitor, athlete and person. We love having you in the club Megan and really appreciate your support. Well done. Rob. #efmfit

08.01.2022 Plenty in this post. Celebrations , challenges and just some really good news. First up we need to congratulate Rose Ward on her amazing achievement just as we closed of reaching her 750 visit milestone. What a member. With us for nearly 8 years now and an amazing part of our EFM community. Supporting all that we do at the club and a regular at our events. We love your company Rose and thank you for all that you bring to us . Next up we have a challenge from Rose. She loves... to run and has set herself a challenge to continually improve on her 1Km treadmill. Commencing at 6:05 and now down to 5:53. I am suer it will get to 5:50 in pretty short time . . The last item from Rose is the amazing shots of the bushland regenarating on her property following the recent fires. There is life after disaster which we should be taking on board now. Thanks Rose for all your input and we all hope to see you soon and celebrate in style. Cheers Robert #efmfit See more

07.01.2022 Update on a couple of challenges. Matt the Machine from Mauritius did a whopping 70Km last week. I think Krissy has retired. Some news a bit closer to home. Jo has surged ahead of her sister in the virtual NZ walking challenge and is now around 40km in front. I think the problem was that her sister had a few wineries on her route so had a few distractions. Well done to both of you . ... Send in your updates. Cheers See more

06.01.2022 Update from Angela. Great work. " Since lock down, I have done all of your workouts, ran 107.6 km, walked 20 km and covered 30 km bike riding with Sophie" I have not included the comment about Dans

06.01.2022 Been a busy couple of weeks . Some more milestones to celebrate in the club. Last week we had the pleasure of congratulating and welcoming Leanne Purins to our 100 club. Not an entirely unusual event but a pretty special one in this instance. Leanne joined us way back in 2009 and has only this year reached that coveted milestone. I guess the odd baby or two will put a hold on your attendance. We love having you back Leanne and congratulations on your milestone. Rob #efmfit

06.01.2022 Big day today as we joined Helen Richardson in celebrating her 90th Birthday. Helen is one of those amazing members who just gets on with life. No big fuss today , just happy seeing some family and receiving some flowers and fruit from friends. We hope you had an amazing birthday Helen and I want to reinforce the fact that you are an inspiration to all that see you in the club. We love your attitude to life and we just love you. Happy Birthday Helen Robert and all your friends at EFM Mt Barker #efmfit

05.01.2022 We have gone from big last week to huge this week. This is a massive achievement , 1500 visits, particularly give this member joined us in early 2013. Jacinta Calman has been a great supporter of our club. I can't remember her missing one of our functions and nearly never missing a daily session. Absolutely committed to her fitness and a great example to all our members. We love having you in the club Jacinta and you always lead by example. I am getting the wall prepared for that next big milestone. Well done. Rob. #efmfit

05.01.2022 Had a ripper of a message today from Sandy Forster. She just did our workout #7 and added in 10 burpees between parts one and two. Her challenge now is to add one or two every day . That will be an awesome result by the time we come out the other side. I am in the challenge . Are you? Let me know if you are up for giving Sandy a hand. Cheers Rob

04.01.2022 Had a big week or two through late October and plenty of updates coming over the next day or so. First up though we welcome back Adam Towill and Alison Ryan following the birth of their beautiful daughter Eleanor. I think she qualifies as our youngest member. Just few more years!!!

02.01.2022 Here is another of our amazing members reaching milestones in Isolation. Angela went into the lockdown a long way from her 250 club milestone but with home session every day except 7 for the days we were closed she has made some amazing progress. A great competitor in our club and a great person to match that competitive spirit . Thanks for your efforts Angela Wiggins and your support. Cheers Rob #efmfit

02.01.2022 Another fantastic milestone week . A pretty amazing result given all we have been through these past few months. Staying true to her fitness goals we are celebrating with Jen Schultz on reaching membership of our 100 club. A great supporter of our club and a pretty special person to go along with that. Thanks Jen for your contribution to our club. We hope to celebrate many more milestones with you. Rob
