25.01.2022 The difference between training, practicing and competing. If we are constantly chasing those big number lifts every session we are going to burn out pretty quick and never actually improve. If you truly want to improve on your training sometimes you need to take 1 step back to take 10 steps forward. This means taking the time to learn the skill properly, breaking it down and practicing each phase until you nail it, working on percentages %.... Then and only then should we think about bringing intensity and more weight into our sessions. This is me practicing different phases of my snatch, the snatch is my most lacking skill so nailing the basics is high on my to do list

25.01.2022 There is this saying I heard once and it has stuck with me ever since. It goes "You're not a dog you dont need a treat everytime you do something good" Does that hit home a little too well?... A lot of us, even me at times thinks after you have done something good whether that be training hard at the gym or even having one good meal that you feel the need to treat yourself for those efforts. But why just undo all that hard work you have done for a treat you dont need. I hope that saying stays in the back of your head next time you wanna treat yourself It will only help you in the long run

24.01.2022 Mobility tip If you have trouble with tight hips or feel a pinch in your hip when you squat try this banded stretch before you squat next. The point of this is to create enough tension in your hip to pull your femur bone into a better, more central spot in your hip socket, so its not crushed up against the front (which could be causing the pinching sensation) ... Hold it for about 20-30 seconds each side and reassess your squat, you should feel as though you can sink a little deeper Hope this helps and happy squatting!!

21.01.2022 Shout out to this awesome chick Tiarne Burdekin for coming in and doing a sesh on her birthday!! Must be an awesome vibe here if people wanna train on special days like their birthdays Or they just wanna be guilt free when they stuff their face with cake I guess we will never know

21.01.2022 Who loves deadlifts!? Next time you do them try this for a warm up it's a great way to get the hammies and glutes firing properly before you lift Also great tool to use after a work out for a final booty burn cause this is pretty spicy ... 10 banded deadlifts 10 side steps left 10 side steps right 10 steps forward (driving legs 45 each step) 10 steps backwards (same thing) I just did 5 for video purposes Do it as many times as you feel necessary for a warm up

20.01.2022 Transformations aren't always about looking better! Sometimes the best transformations are those that have made you stronger and overall healthier in life Susie here had surgery on her left shoulder years ago and since then never tried to make it stronger, since coming to me she has made that shoulder literally TWICE as strong! ... At the start she struggled holding 4kg above her head with that bad shoulder, now she managing 8kg just fine She is a machine that works hard every session and it's paying off See more

19.01.2022 A quote from the founder of Crossfit Greg Glassman "Our understanding is that the needs of Olympic athletes and our grandparents differ in degree, not kind. One needs functional competence to stay out of a nursing home. The other wants functional dominance to win medals." Whatever fitness goals you may have Crossfit is the number 1 way to get there and this is the primary way I coach all my athletes ... If its something you want to try feel free to message me

17.01.2022 If you struggle with mobility and losing a strong neutral spine when picking the bar off the floor with a deadlift try propping the weights up on some other weight plates. You still get a s##t tonne stronger and you can slowly use smaller weights until the bar is getting picked up from the floor

17.01.2022 Who's adding squat variety into their programs? Each different variation has a slightly different benefit in their own way but all work towards making you a stronger, better human!

15.01.2022 Just a reminder to everyone that wants results immediately. It's just not going to happen! Consistency is key and the best thing you can do is at least do something positive each day for those long term gains! If we sit back and wish and hope too much instead of acting even if it's 1% every day you can see by the diagram below the effects it will have on you. ... So get after it and constantly chase! Always strive to be better and the results will come if not surpass them by a mile!

15.01.2022 Making orders tomorrow! If you wanted one of these please comment or message if you haven't already

11.01.2022 How good do these jumpers look!! As the cooler months come upon us these are becoming more popular and very much needed! I'll be making an order this Wednesday for jumpers and jackets so if you would like your hands on one, comment on this post or send me a message directly!

10.01.2022 How many of you take the time to work on accessories? Everyone loves to see the big lifts, the muscle ups, all the cool looking stuff but you gotta realise behind the scenes this is whats going on. Taking the time to work on specific muscle groups that could be lacking to develop overall stronger bodies ... My man Toby here is working on straight arm lat pulls to really isolate the lats. Making these bad boys stronger will carry over to stronger Olympic lifts, more pull ups and even muscle ups.

10.01.2022 I love my deadlifts, they're such a solid movement to providing a strong foundation strength in all movements. So why not make them harder and get a bit stronger? Adding a deficit to the deadlifts put a massive extra emphasis on your glutes and hammies. So add these to your training and thank me later

08.01.2022 Who wants the secret to losing fat?? I have it and although it may seem hard to follow its actually really simple The answer:... Eliminate sugar and starchy carbs out of your diet. We need to realise that its not dietry fat that makes us fat its carbs. These days we are surrounded by food that makes us fat and god does it taste good. But! If its truly fat that you want to lose this is what you have to do it doesnt mean eat less! You still need to meet your daily intake but you will need to up your proteins and fats and lots of veggies.

05.01.2022 How goods this legend! Tayla Elsley came in today on her birthday! We got through an awesome session that was birthday related and she definitely loved it I got her a box of favourites but gave her strict direction not to eat it for two weeks (until the challenge is done)

05.01.2022 Love it when people decide to throw down on their bday!! It's my mums birthday today and she competed in her first crossfit open workout today show her some love!

05.01.2022 New merch is out guys!! Got new colours aswell! Khaki shirts Aqua racer backs ... Black and white for tanks, racerbacks and shirts Hoodies are ready for order aswell I promise it will cool down eventually New order will be placed this time next week so if you would like something please comment below or send me a message directly so I have numbers will not be ordering extras

03.01.2022 Who wants to lose fat!? Read this!! As most of you are told if we are in a calorie defecit we are going to lose fat. Is this always the case?... Hell NO!! Why? Because its not about the quantity of food we are eating its the quality of food we are eating. This picture is an example of what NOT TO DO. This is actually from one of my own clients who will not be named but thought it was all about the calories, (Which they nailed!) But if they stuck to that meal plan they would see NO results! Because their calories are way too high and they arent eating enough Protein and Fat Obviously everyones meal plans will be different depending on goals, but if your goal is to LOSE FAT, I suggest you figure out your intake of carbs everyday, NOT FAT like the so called experts say is bad for you, your carbs and most likely you will be eating too much and no where near enough Protein or Fat. If you need guidance, speak to your trainer or you can message me Hope this changes the way you look at food a little

01.01.2022 Why I dont like New Years Resolutions!! Every year I see the same thing, people make these goals that are waaay too far out of their reach or they simply dont understand what it takes to get there. So what happens? ... About the 3rd of January everyone has broke their resolution and they complain that it wasnt their year and that they will try again next year. Its not that I dont like goals its that people set themselves up for failure and never go through with any of their goals, then they are stuck in the loop of dreaming that one day their dream will come true. My advice? One thing you can do is instead of saying what you will do say what you wont do. Its much easier to say no than it is to go out of your way to do something. Example: Instead of saying you will eat vegetables everyday so you can be healthier, try saying I will not have dessert no matter what. You are still creating a good habit to live by but you arent going through the harder task of food prepping everyday which a lot of people struggle with. I hope this helps a little
