25.01.2022 One of the biggest bang for your buck classes when it comes to strength- and definitely as most will testify, one of my favourite tools Not sure if anyone else is ready for this exercise though? @cate_louise Asher showing us all up ... #aeroplane #TRX #strength #fitness #coach #personaltrainer #training #workout #core #mobility #balance #beastmode

25.01.2022 Quick oblique, Transverse and rectus circuit: 8 on each x 3 sets to switch on that power house in the mid section. You can also use a cable machine for the this but a power tube is best. Background music: Kanye west.... #training #core #workout #pt #trainer #coach #fitness #strength #lockdown #covidfit #bodyweight #squats #cardio #performance

24.01.2022 @cate_louise working like a boss- looks cool right? This movement demands a definite balance between strength and length - those with super reactive, shot muscle bellies will struggle with this and will often shake until they fall... Recall that optimal human movement requires balance in all planes, across muscle strength and length, not just strength! #word #teaching #coach #pt #movement #training #fitness #exercise #core #balance #press #handstand #strength #workout #bayside #melbourne

24.01.2022 Regardless of past activity levels or existing heart conditions, this large UK study found that "keeping physically active or becoming more active during middle and older age is associated with a longer life."

24.01.2022 Hi team Essential Health, It is with much sadness and tears that I must announce that Ive made the hard decision to close our doors at 410 Bluff road as a result of this prolonged restrictions to operate. We simply cant drag on like this for the unforeseeable future. Im sure that you can all appreciate how hard this was for me after 4 amazing years in our little sanctuary or "day spa". Moving forward, we will be offering our services virtually and also outdoors until restr...ictions change. I will re-evaluate then to see wha opportunities may be available. Im very grateful for my loyal team, past and present, and the many members who have and who continue to support us by improving their health and fitness everyday. Im proud and I look forward to continuing working with a lot of you. With much love, Darrell

24.01.2022 Hey Team, Firstly, thank you for all your support this far with the restrictions we are facing due to the COVID-19 outbreak. As it stands, group classes and PT sessions inside the studio are suspended until further notice. On this matter, I am waiting to hear back from fitness Australia to see whether as Boutique studios fit the Category of " Gyms" as described by the Pm in his announcement last night. ... Anyway, life goes on and lets keep you all moving. Until there is a cease on outdoor training, these are the classes which will be running this week outdoors ( of course while observing the social distancing criteria): FUSION Tuesday 24/03 Morning: 07:30 am CORE Wednesday 25/03 Morning: 09:15 am HIIT Thursday 26/03 Evening: 06:15pm FUSION Saturday 28/03 morning: 08:00 am In addition to these, I have decided to add some ZOOM sessions from the comfort of your own home. These are available through our app (MY PT HUB) if you follow the link attached. If you decide to take these up, it will be $25 per week and we will try to offer close to the same number of classes we usually run in the studio. I will be guiding you through each of these workouts so you will be able to follow my steps through an entire workout via video. The classes to be offered will be: HIIT, STRENGTH, FLEXI, and CORE. please follow the link to setup on your account on myPThub and follow the booking steps to the class which includes the zoom link and passcode. https://ehp.mypthub.net/3/p/95018 note: all debit memberships will be frozen for the time being , and those who have paid upfront for a few weeks, you will not lose any of these sessions and we will carry on once we can operate again.

LETS DO THIS!! Your trusted team ( Darrell, Rachael and Jamie)

24.01.2022 "Im so glad I walked past essential health and decided to call them to sign up for a class. It was the best phone call I ever made! Ive been going to classes for about a year now and it only took a couple of weeks for me to notice a HUGE improvement in the way I carried myself. I felt stronger, had so much more energy, I was thinking clearer and felt energised and happy. A year later and I feel like Im a completely new person. Im able to do things I would never have dreamed possible. Im not just stronger but so much more flexible and agile. My daughter has so much fun running around a playing with me. Im setting a good example for her and setting my body to be strong fit and healthy for the rest of my life!" Amanda

24.01.2022 This movement is a great tool for teaching how to use the deep front line, which comprises of the deep core muscles, whilst maintaining the longest line through the back of the body... something commonly lacking in todays society... Make sure your training helps you move better through life! #trainer #coach #movebetter #movement #fitness #core #controle #mobility #strength #training #pt #workout #posture #yoga

23.01.2022 Most people nowadays have adopted a certain posture that highlights energy imbalances in their bodies... unless you are made aware of these and what benefits you could experience if you made some changes to your current/ or non existing workout regime, change wont come and yes, you will fade away, get weaker and feel worse as you age... Duhhh... to an extent we all will, but I guarantee you that a balanced exercise regime that emphasises your individual needs will mitigate m...ost negative effects on aging... The truth is, here at Essential health, we have many people over the age of 30, 40, 50 who can outperform the majority of 20 year olds out there... AGE IS NOTHING. #antiaging #exercise #move #moveitorloseit #youth #health #fullcapacityliving #posture #fitness #investinyourself #coach #trainer

21.01.2022 Hey team, As you all know, Juan is sadly leaving the country on his journey to return home to Columbia and set up his own business there! I know many of you have already been saying your "see ya laters" to him over the recent weeks, however, his last session at the studio will be core class at 7 pm Wednesday night! It would be great to see as many of you there to wish him well and have an awesome session to say goodbye one last time! Lets send the great man on his way in style <3

21.01.2022 While the master is away the students will play.... Come try your hand at Fus-BOX-on (a hybrid class of fusion and fit boxing) tomorrow morning at 6am. It will be a sure away to kick start your day...

19.01.2022 5 weeks to chronic pain relief (Online video program!) - https://mailchi.mp//5-weeks-to-chronic-pain-relief-online- GET RID OF YOUR CHRONIC PAIN NOW!

16.01.2022 "I started training with Darrell because I wanted to strengthen my arms and shoulders, but have been limited by shoulder pain. Previous trainers avoided working the area in fear of discomfort. Darrell has a different approach: do what you can. I consider him both my personal trainer and physical therapisthis knowledge of the human body is bewildering. My biggest take-away from Essential Health and Performance is that everything in the body is related. Darrells prescribed daily stretches helped my workouts, posture and wellbeing. For anyone trying to find a trainer who cares and who understands every body movement, Darrell wont disappoint. " Clair Nicole

16.01.2022 Awesome effort this morning! Thank you to everyone who came, participated and donated! Simply this morning we have raised so far over $700 for the fires in one workout with some people still wanting to put through their donations over the next couple of days Great work team!

15.01.2022 A new week another chance to get ahead. Plan ahead and pencil in your fitness fix now, but attending one, some or all of the following group sessions. Tuesday 6am Fusion 9.15am TRX... 7.30pm Fus-Box-on Wednesday 7pm Core Thursday 6am Fus-BOX-on Friday 6am TRX Saturday 8am Fusion See you there...

10.01.2022 Some of our smart working cyclists doing some hip stability and strength work with @coach_juan_ The cyclist world is known for a go hard or go home attitude to training, but you will only believe the value of smart ( movement progression) vs hard training always when you see the results #makingcaves #worksmart #training #coach #performance #athlete #cycling #letour #gym #core #legday #strength #beastmode #foundations #conditioning #melbourne #bayside

10.01.2022 We love you guys happy birthday Becca!

09.01.2022 My numero uno go to exercise to working on my posterior chain activation in the hinge - if you find yourself picking things up by supporting one hand on one knee, YOU NEED TO DO THIS NOW! - Stop deadlifting heavy weights in hope you will fix your posterior chain- it doesnt work, and never will- strength and activation are two separate concepts- you can have the strongest and most dysfunctional muscles at the same time - GET REAl! #trainlikeaboss #notlikeabeast #workout #smart #training #posture #kettlebell #strength #functional #trainer #coach #pt #exercise #core #legday #deadlifts #movementfix #technique

05.01.2022 What a beautiful surprise to have seven smiling faces in Fusion this morning. Each of you are super stars have a wonderful day

05.01.2022 "After moving to the area, I tried a couple of gyms before finding Darrells studio. I wanted somewhere that would not just help me stay fit but that I would also enjoy going to. And I found it! I actually got more than I bargained for and consider Darrell and the people Im working out beside my friends. Darrell and team have helped me stay fit and healthy pre, during and post my first pregnancy and Ill always be grateful for the ongoing difference that makes to not just my own health but also for my babys good start in life. I highly value the personalised approach and ability to access tailored personal training and a great mix of classes. Highly recommend!" Kate

03.01.2022 thank you so much all! I chose to donate to the families in need through the CFA website- Im sure the money will go to food use <3

01.01.2022 "I started training to get fit and stronger. I started at Essential Health as I was tired of big franchise gyms that didnt care if you attended or not. I enjoy the fact that Im being trained with correct technique and that the trainers push me to my full potential and motivate me in a fun way. Training with Darrell has made me realise things i can do and Im training more than ever before because the studio makes you apart of a community and this made myself more accountab...le about my health and fitness.
