25.01.2022 We cant change the direction of the wind but we can adjust the sails so that we still reach our destination. #fridayfeels #wetherillpark #gym #fitness #personaltraining #pt

25.01.2022 WHAT IS SLEEP? Sleep is that super sexy thing you do at the end of the day where you let everything hang loose (if you know you know), put on those amazingly cool sausage dog pyjamas, jump into bed, lay your head on the pillow and close your eyes and head off into the land of captain snooze. Now we spend approximately one third of our days sleeping so its right up there with human essentials like food and water. Without sleep we are unable to create or maintain the ma...rvellous pathways in the brain that allow us to learn and create new memories and we cannot concentrate or respond to things quickly and be of sound mind. Now theres not an exactly perfect number of hours of sleep as each of us are very unique but its somewhere between 7-9 hours per night. During sleep, our body cycles through 4 different stages consisting of both rapid-eye-movement (REM) and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. These stages of sleep occur on average about 4-6 times per night and our sleep actually plays out in 90-minute cycles. Waking within one of those cycles can leave you feeling groggy and tired but if can wake at the end of cycle you will most likely feel more refreshed. This means you want to wake up at 6 or 7.5 or 9 hours of sleep. As the night progresses the length of REM sleep increases and the NREM sleep stages decrease. REM REM sleep is where most of our dreaming happens. The coolest thing about REM sleep is that we normally do not move as our muscles are paralyzed. If the temporary paralysis of REM sleep is disturbed, one can physically act out dreams and thats not always going to be a good thing (cast your mind back to some of the dreams you have had no judgements here). NREM NREM Sleep has 3 stages. Stage 1 non-REM sleep is the changeover from wakefulness to sleep and only lasts a few minutes. Stage 2 non-REM sleep is where you spend most of your sleep cycles. It is a period of light sleep before you enter deeper sleep and the stage where your body temperature drops and eye movements stop. Stage 3 non-REM sleep is the period of deep sleep that you need to feel refreshed in the morning. Its the sleep where people may find it difficult to wake you and occurs in longer periods during the first half of the night. So what do I do if I want to improve my sleep and what do I gain from doing so? Swipe right on the images or head over to our blog for the full details.

25.01.2022 The face they make when @ttotherex makes them do the stuff they need rather than the stuff they want. #wetherillpark #gym #fitness #family #personaltraining

24.01.2022 Your biggest barrier to progress is... Most likely due to the fact that you don't have a plan made just for you. You've probably signed up for a gym membership with the hope that if you just start doing something all of a sudden everything will click.... Then you walk into this busy minefield of shiny weights and weird looking machines, but it all looks so daunting so off to the bike you go and the next 30 minutes is spent on that and then you repeat the same thing the next day, the day after that and so on. Or maybe youre following your friends lead and doing what they do because you think they look fabulous and you want to be just like them. The inspiration to get fitter and stronger is there, you've taken the first step but their is a huge barrier to keep the motivation running because you aren't sure if what you are doing is correct, if its right for you or if it really aligns with who you are as a person. This is where a plan needs to come into play. A plan that tells you what exercises you should be doing, when to go up in weight, when to go down in weight. How YOU should approach nutrition. Basically the next steps that's going to create momentum and keep you moving forward toward becoming the most physically capable human you can be. You can remove the hinderence by doing what @jammbiee has done (featured in this image hitting pushups for reps because she can do them now ) and hire yourself a coach who will create the path and plan thats perfect for you. Come and have a chat to one of our coaches at OPEX Western Sydney and start your journey to become a stronger and more capable human! #wetherillpark #coaching #remotecoaching #onlinecoaching #fitness #gym #strongwomen #capablewomen #personaltraining #progress #pushup #opex #success @ Wetherill Park See more

23.01.2022 Today we celebrated another year as a family, friends and changemakers. This team is the team changing Western Sydney Humans one at a time. A successful escape from @narrowesc followed by pizza, pasta and sharing the highs and lows of the year together. @arronhuynh @heronakim @ttotherex @metconcreative @amanda.j.desouza and @stephaniecroucher (there in spirit) Thanks for an amazing year of growth. We love you!

22.01.2022 Your 1 hour workout is only 4% of your day. Stop, rewind and read that again. What you are doing the rest of your day matters so much more then you think. Our coaches provide more than a training program and our relationships are more than high fives and pats on the back. If youre ready to work on more than your 1 hour in the gym its time you see us

21.01.2022 Feelin a little time poor? Get your hands on a slow cooker (crock pot), throw in some protein and vegetables and leave it overnight or through the day and Booomb! Slow cookers are great for super tender and juicy meat dishes and if you arent a meat eater then you can definitely make some delicious meals with beans and lentils and other plant proteins. ... You can bulk prep meals in a slow cooker and then freeze them for those nights where you cant be bothered or you want something quick and easy. We love our crock pot for: - Soups - Stews - Curries - Roasts - Bolognaise with all the veg - Pulled pork, beef, chicken, lamb, turkey Note: you can use the pulled meats for basically anything - tacos , pie filling, in a sandwich , on their own ** We were going to put a recipe in here for you but you can honestly google and find thousands of amazing recipes and there were too many mouth watering options to just pick one. Happy hump day. Get crock pot cookin good lookin #health #nutrition #fitness #slowcook #wetherillpark #gym #exercise #training See more

18.01.2022 To all the women that are on a 1200 calorie day prescription from your *insert health/fitness professional* please stop ! Stay fed and stay woke. One of the most common things we keep seeing at OPEX with women starting with us is a lack of adequate food.... Find yourself binging? Are you eating enough? Feeling tired and lethargic? Are you eating enough? On minimal calories and still not losing weight? Are you eating enough? Not progressing in training? Are you eating enough? ****Note there are other contributing factors that play into the above we know this but please eat the food All my love Amanda MFP = My Fitness PAL #food #nutrition #nutritionist #health #wellfedwomen #empoweredwomen #nourished #satisfied #weightloss #fitness #wetherillpark

15.01.2022 Thank you for this year. To all those who were able to make it last night - what a blast! and to the many who couldnt make it we missed you. Class of 2019! The end of a decade and we couldnt have finished it off any better. ... Merry Christmas and Happy New Year @ OPEX Western Sydney

15.01.2022 Who else loves Monday

15.01.2022 Weekends = What @metconcreative does in the gym translating into what he does outside of the gym. Train with purpose and intent... Live through fitness and not for fitness Follow a fitness program that works for you #fitness #trailrun #gym #achievments #running #exercise #wetherillpark #health #wellbeing #attentivecoaching #strong #capable @ OPEX Western Sydney

14.01.2022 You've tried nearly everything but nothing seems to be able to stick. Low calorie Shakes Clean (what ever clean is)... Low Carb Low Fat Macros All your friends and the trainers you've had in the past all say that THEIR one is the best. You try it and maybe it works for a while and then it doesnt or maybe it just doesnt sit with you and your beliefs. So what now? It seems like it's never going to happen. WELL... It is going to happen (yes read that again) BUT... It's just going to take a little bit of experimentation, self awareness and honesty. There is the perfect diet for you - and that diet is, the one that suits your lifestyle best with minimal change. This perfect diet will evolve as you change and evolve (thats right the perfect diet will change!) You see the problem with most diets is that when people try to apply them, they try to apply them on to someone's lifestyle who is probably not suitable or not ready for those changes. Yes change is required, but it's likely the changes don't need to be as drastic as people make them. What you need is someone to look at your past experience with nutrition, what your lifestyle is like and guide you to finding changes that are easily achievable by you. Someone to coach you like you would be coached on the gym floor. To give you an idea - these are some of the small changes our members have made this year that have worked super well for them. Ensuring you have a protein and vegetable with every meal (not taking anything away) Sitting and chewing through each meal undistracted Having 2 squares of chocolate at night as part of a wind down routine and savouring the chocolate Adding 3 veggies into meals every day Taking a photo of every meal and sending it to their coach for accountability Developing an understanding that there is no BAD / GOOD foods and that we can still make progress while being a "Foodie" If you are over jumping from diet to diet and having none of them stick or being told that you need to cut out all the good stuff out of your life forever, come and chat to one of our coaches to work with you to find what w @ OPEX Western Sydney See more

14.01.2022 Chalking up for Monday like Im about to nail it

13.01.2022 Sometimes we are so focused on the loss that we forget about everything weve gained! There was no meal plan here, no crash dieting and Elijah continued to enjoy his weekend beers mindfully. #thisisopex #gym #fitness #transformation #growth #wetherillpark #personaltraining #health #nutrition @ Wetherill Park

13.01.2022 Feeling like your training program is meant for someone else? Too much information out there to truly know what YOU should be eating? Feel like your coach is listening but not really hearing or understanding you? Dont want to be tied down to training at a specific class time ... OPEX Western Sydney is the most attentive coaching in the area. Come and test drive us for $189.00 for 1 month.

13.01.2022 When you train with your sister in the gym so that you can grow and support each other outside of the gym. Surround yourself with people that make you want to do better and be better!

13.01.2022 Happiness is an inside job but there are people on the outside that can help make it easier to get there

11.01.2022 Daily reminder to keep your protein/fruit/vegetable sources varied. Switch up the meat proteins for plant based sources every now and then for something different or try a new vegetable you havent had! #superfood #variedsourcesnotpowders #gym #nutrition #fitness #health #wellness #belikealex #coaching #twins #personaltraining

08.01.2022 It is not what you do for your children, but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings - with that being said, the same applies to adults. At OPEX we give you the tools and the one on one coaching to make the changes you envision for yourself. #coach #fitness #gym #wetherillpark #nutrition #lifestyle #personaltraining #exercise

08.01.2022 What people think they need before they sign up to a gym: I need to get fitter before I go there I need to look a certain way to fit in there... What they actually need: An open mind and willingness to learn A commitment to themselves and the process #applywithin #startnow #wegotyou #opexwesternsydney #wetherillpark #gym #fitness #personaltraining See more
