25.01.2022 We have a member who smokes like a chimney and drinks like a fish. He asked me if I'm going to make him give up. I said, "I just care about your bones and whether you can lift a barbell. You can have a stubby while you're training for all I care". That's my mentality. We don't care about weight, its strength and bone density, that is our focus. Karl.

23.01.2022 If you don't like training at a gym, come train with us. I thought it's time to introduce myself. My name is Karl and I'm the brainchild behind Groundwork Fitness. Here are a few numbers for you; 44 years ago I was born in Goulburn with Cerebral Palsy (CP). My speech is different and also I have bugger all balance. 30 years ago I was taught the 4 lifts (Deadlift, Squat and the Presses) by a UK champion powerlifter.... 4 pages of "I must only train in the only things I was told to train" was what I had to write (double-sided) when I was found trying to do barbell curls. 0 is the number of injuries I've had since training at the age of 14 attributed to strength training (plenty of injuries attributed to soccer, parties and dodgy mates). 39,000 approximate hours I've spent either under the barbell or coaching someone under the barbell. Other than these numbers here are a few other interesting facts about me. I am Husband to my amazing wife Sally and Father to my 6yo beautiful daughter and I struggle with anxiety and depression. Thankfully I have an amazing circle of family and friends who take care of me. Groundwork Fitness is about strength and more to the point, bone density. Our bones start to degenerate as we age and the worst thing that can happen is breaking a hip. Strength training can slow, and in some cases reverse, the process of bone degeneration. At Groundwork Fitness we do not have machines, we only have barbells. We have 4 exercises that will give your bones and muscles the best bang for their buck. These exercises are safe, incorporate the most muscle and bone, and have the best effective range of motion. You will be coached by someone with experience under a bar, rather than someone who has finished a 6-week course. We do not care if you are big, small, female, non-gender, male, overweight, 90 years old, 14 years old. We care about getting your bones stronger. #cerebralpalsey #exerciseforthebrain #depression #anxiety #mentalhealth #mentalhealthhealing #newcastlegymcomingsoon #openingsoon #weighttraining #lifting #underthebar #strengthtraining

21.01.2022 Our gym is truely unique and our focus in on YOU! To help give you the best experience and the best results here are a few things we don't do because we don't believe they will benefit you in any way; Pink dumbbells - these light weights are doing nothing Mirrors (sorry posers) Recliner bikes... 6 week challenges Exercise machines - barbell and racks only Cheerleading - Coaching only We just get on with the job of developing strength! #weareunique #conceptgym

20.01.2022 It takes as little as 2 sessions per week to notice yourself getting stronger and your everyday movements become easier with Karl's strength training method. Check out our website and see if we'll be a good fit for you.

15.01.2022 The pink dumbbell!!!! There are so many images online of more mature women working out with these small pink weights and it is a huge problem. It is reinforcing an idea that women of a certain age shouldn't be challenged at the gym and that they aren't capable of lifting a heavier weight. To increase bone density the bone actually has to be put under stress, which means a heavy weight. To maintain its muscular strength the heart needs to be put under pressure. This will also ...improve the health of your hips, femurs and spine. The small pink dumbbell and bands are misleading. Challenge the stereotype and see what you are capable of. Drop the pink dumbbell! #womenshealth #health #fitness #wellness #healthyliving #fitspo #womensfitness #fitfam #personaltrainer #healthy #instagood #workout #pelvicfloor #strongwomen #momlife #newmom #selfcare #womenempowerment #healthylifestyle #love #motivation #healthylife #feminism

We will continue to post relevant and exciting content until we’re open, but until then we’re still coming soon #stillcomingsoon
