24.01.2022 6:50PM and the glorious still beaming indeed!!! Welcome back our beloved daylight savings, oh the fun we are going to have over the next 6 months . I do think all of your on purpose squinty mcsquinterson faces are most adorable .

23.01.2022 Forget Friday night on the town, Thursday nights @ the Fort when the sun is still high in the sky is where the partaaaay is at . Last night Sam and Mel joined forces to take a full house through the entire 60min release of Les Mills Body Combat #84 and from all the reports I’ve had flooding in today, it was INCREDIBLE. Love your work ladies .

23.01.2022 A little jaunt down memory lane . From little things, big things grow and not even a worldwide pandemic is going to stop us getting even bigger and better .

23.01.2022 Last week Frenchie added to her overflowing file of papers with nasty and horrendous things written on them and spilling out...a hydrodilatation procedure under CT Scan . Even Cindy Bear has lost interest . I must say as much as I was not a fan of any part of this procedure I think I accidentally fell even more in appreciation and respect luff with my Radiology Dr Man . A.S Debnam is fully aware and just rolled his eyes....the confidence and cheek of him .

22.01.2022 We are going to run a weekly meet the team series of posts until you have met and learned something about each of our incredible team of Fort instructors . I am so lucky to have such an amazing team that loves the Fort, are passionate about what they do and who care for and look after our members in the same way I do . First cab of the rank, the gorgeous Sarah . Been instructing since: January 2020 Been a Fort member since: August 2018 Classes qualified to teach:... Metafit Favourite Fort class to participate in on the floor: All of them! I love that we have the ability to change our training from week to week, we are so spoilt for choice! But to choose just one... Grit Strength wholey and soley has my heart! Who is at your house/family/pets: My very understanding husband Josh our 3.5 year old twins Finn and Evelyn, and our first born, Josie, our 7 year old cocker spaniel Favourite thing to do in spare time not gym related: Squeezing in a quick coffee, or a brunch date with one of my beautiful friends, will always be a highlight for me. Lifetime gets so busy, and friends really are the family that we choose Favourite food: I do love a smoothie bowl Dream holiday destination: I know that it sounds cliche, but take me anywhere warm and I’m a happy lady! We’d love to take the kids to Noosa. Nothing would make be happier than popping on a podcast and watching my babes play on the beach. Something people would be surprised to know about you: I vacuum to relax. If you know, you know I also like to stir Vegemite through my scrambled eggs, don’t judge me. Your favourite thing about having the Fort in your life: The affect that my ability to exercise has on my kids. They understand that I exercise because I love it and it keeps my body strong and my head happy. It is so important to me to raise my kids with a healthy body image, and I strive every day to lead by example. I have also been lucky enough to make some truly invaluable friendships at the Fort, for which I will be forever grateful. We love you Sarah and are so grateful for all you do for our Fort. THANK YOU

22.01.2022 Shall we go with lucky ducks, glorious or spoilt for choice . I think you guys are lucky ducks who are gloriously spoilt for choice and I can’t see why you would train anywhere else .

21.01.2022 I know I am a hard person to support. I my best people who bravely tip toe on in.

20.01.2022 What’s the view like from your gym?

20.01.2022 Having not played Monopoly with this one since the Christmas holibobs, you can imagine how much I laughed for 90 whole minutes as he read all the cards perfectly by himself, counted the money correctly, purchased properties and strategically placed his houses, only to then have him say when he had to pay me rent for once you keep the change with a very concerned look directly at my dwindling cash pile . I love the school holibobs and I love this kid .

20.01.2022 Yet another basketball related sponsorship deal I knew nothing about . Ole mate seems to think blackboard art pays quite handsomely these days .

19.01.2022 Our glorious shed exactly how it should be at the start of a new week; FULL . Full of the people, high hopes, determination, fresh goals and as always, all the laughter. #lovethisplace

19.01.2022 Currently keeping my head just above the water; Mia Freedman podcasts EzyDog lead that keeps my hands free Proper crazy border collie x1

18.01.2022 What a way to kick start your 2020 show day (minus the show part) public holiday . GAZZ our seasonal outdoor based boot camp IS BACK BABY and that means one thing....SUMMER IS COMING!!!!! We’ve missed you Garry, we love you Garry, you make us so happy Garry .

18.01.2022 Happy very first day of twenty twenty fun....see what I did there . I say just for now we keep our expectations on the lower side of extravagant but our chins held high. Let’s do this, love team Fort .

18.01.2022 One gun and one piece of over cooked spaghetti with a hand attached, I heard all the cool kids are doing it .

17.01.2022 Doesn’t matter how far away they are, setting goals is important .

17.01.2022 NEVER MISS A MONDAY!!!! Give it a dang solid right hook and show it who’s boss .

17.01.2022 The Fort blackboard of truth strikes again . Comparison is the thief of joy. Appreciate and celebrate your very own ice cream and teach your babes to do the same .

17.01.2022 So many new faces at the Fort of late !! Warms my heart to see besties, sisters, husbands and wives, brother and sister, work mates and neighbours braving their first sessions together !!! Do you know the ones that really squeeze my heart?....Those that walk through those doors alone, not knowing anyone, nervous and unsure, those that have made the decision, enough is enough, I'm going to do this for ME, even tho I'm going to find arriving at that first session really tou...gh and scary. I promise you, on behalf of the green army that all you have to do is take that step over the threshold and you will not be ignored, judged, excluded or forgotten. Open that door and you will be welcomed, acknowledged, accepted, protected, looked after and quite possibly highly entertained by the characters that take you under their wing . You can do this. It's your time. See more

17.01.2022 Apparently a haircut is as good as a holiday . (+ for ole mate Go Cats, meeeeow ).

16.01.2022 Last week was 3 years since we signed our first commercial lease ....the biggest leap of faith ever . So many people looking out for me back then tried to talk me out of it and they all made valid, fair and reasonable points. Three years later...here’s to not listening , to throwing caution to the wind, to following your dreams no matter how crazy they sound to people and for teaching your kids to be brave. I am a firm believer that as long as you back yourself and have a very small circle of special people who’s eyes light up when you tell them your wild plans.....you can do anything .

16.01.2022 Our beloved shed caught out on a school night moonlighting as a party house for an absolutely amazing bunch of undefeated U10 basketball champions, in a year of their lives they’ll never forget. We will be finding bullets for weeks but it was well worth it . Watching my 7 year old son live and breathe sport makes my heart sing and watching my ole mate coach and gain the boys respect makes me love him even more .

16.01.2022 First day of the last term with all ma babes at primary school together .

15.01.2022 I’ve always believed the very best place to start your weekend is the gym . How lucky are we that this lot agree and choose to be Fortside .

15.01.2022 This weeks Fort blackboard of truth. The hardest worker in the room to me is not the ones that finish first, lift the most or clock the most cals, reps or km’s or who know the most people ....this is a shout out to the hardest workers in the room who some days have to fight just to be there. The ones who turn up even though every part of them is screaming to stay home where it’s safe and quiet. I know how hard you are working just to walk through the door, you are incredible and you make me so proud. Despite the noise and chaos, I see you .

15.01.2022 For some reason, just like with my little babes, seeing her sleeping at the end of a crazy busy day squeezes my heart so big. Sleep tight sweet gymbob of ours, we will see you in the morning .

14.01.2022 Hilarious and unexpected gift from a gorgeous member at 6am this morning, for my desk . Quite fitting it’s sits right here with the 2020 addition of sanitiser to the list of things I boss over .

14.01.2022 Look out, somebody’s dug out the FORT KNIGHT drink bottles!!! The first of #taketwo, was yesterday morning awarded to the gorgeous Zoe . Zoe has been #fortbuilt since July 2019 and is the busy working Mumma of two beautiful boys. A lot of our members have understandably found it hard to re-establish their training routine post our 12 weeks of being locked out of the shed but it’s safe to say over the last month or so, Zoe has most definitely found her stride again!! Zoe pu...ts smiles on faces the second she steps foot in the Fort, she is kind, genuine, open, honest, extremely hard working and without fail has a hilarious story to share every single day . I have been thinking about re-starting the Fort Knight awards for a few weeks now and have had my eye on Zoe (in a non creepy way ). When yesterday morning she completed her first ever animal tuckerbox run without stopping once and came back up the driveway with her face lit up and eyes sparkling the decision was made!! Congratulations Zoe, officially a Knight of the Fort . We are so proud of you!!!! See more

14.01.2022 One proud little artiste with her work in an exhibition by the Lindisfarne Bay Art School on display at the Rosny Library . This one’s got her mothers balls and her dads creative flair .

13.01.2022 At this point my plan to not settle in anyway for my current state could only be described as bold, intrepid and audacious , but I’m sticking to it. If I am managing what I am managing broken, can you imagine how unstoppable I’ll be when I grow my wings back?

12.01.2022 The google is a dirty dirty liar, do not believe a word that comes out of it’s filthy little mouth

12.01.2022 Tonight we had the pleasure of welcoming another incredible member into the Fort 200 session club, Kyla . Kyla joined the Fort as part of our Spring promotion last year so to have cracked a double century in 12 months is nothing short of outstanding in my eyes!! Favourite Fort Session: It’s so hard to pick a favourite when I absolutely love them all. However I do have a soft spot for Les Mills Grit Strength and Pro12, as they physically and mentally challenge me the most.... Why do you love the Fort: The Fort is without a doubt my happy place. Working out no longer feels like a chore, it’s now something I absolutely love and can’t go without. I love that from the moment I walk through the doors, I am entering a judgement free zone and a place of nothing but love and acceptance. The people I’ve met are nothing short of amazing and I’ve had the absolute pleasure of creating special friendships with some. I’ve definitely found my place . Why do you recommend the Fort: Once you come to The Fort you’ve instantly found your second home To anyone wanting to join a Gym that isn’t just a regular Gym, but instead a welcoming, supportive and fun environment also! Then come and give The Fort a go, you’ll never consider anywhere else!. Gorgeous Miss Kyla I can still remember your very first session, it was a Tuesday 12:15pm Metapwr with me and I remember thinking despite how out of your comfort zone you were, you bravely lept into Fort life with a shy and hopeful smile on your face. We have over the last 12 months had the absolute honour of watching you blossom into a fierce, determined, courageous, hard working and hilarious Fort fox who doesn’t back down from a challenge, has a smile and kind word for everyone, makes friends easily and is in fact no where near as shy as i first thought . We love you and are so proud of you, thank you for choosing and trusting the Fort, here’s to the next 200 . See more

12.01.2022 So proud of my ole mate . He’s either at basketball, going to basketball, getting ready for basketball, talking about basketball, playing basketball with Nate outside or watching basketball with headphones on filling our house with call the travel! and other random things . His 40min Tuesday night games intriguingly turn into a 2.5hr round trip without fail and I can tell if they’ve had a win or loss simply by the sound of his footsteps as he’s walking back down our hallway. On top of or because of all of this, he is a passionate, smart, dedicated and incredible coach and I am so very proud that he has been recognised by the club he loves and pours so much of his heart and time into. Congratulations cobba, very well deserved, I think I might love you a bit .

11.01.2022 We bloody did it!!! Last classes for 2020 .

11.01.2022 When a member leaves their shadow behind; job done .

11.01.2022 Where does every legendary bride start their wedding day at 6am?!! The Fort for Grit looking so happy she could burst of course . Happy wedding day gorgeous Taesha, you have handled having every last plan thrown upside down by Covid like an absolute boss, we are so proud and happy for you that today has come together and you are marrying your best friend. Wishing you and Charlie a lifetime of laughter, love and adventure. Have the best day xxx

10.01.2022 Class 2/3 for this sunny Saturday morning was a revisit to the METAFIT BIG 5 fitness test.....a revisit that has taken us 3 whole years to get back to . Sah much fun and it squeezed my heart big time knowing there were four members out there did same test with me in June and September 2017 and one pair who were partnered then and partnered again today . I love this place.

09.01.2022 Huge congratulations to the amazing Cass on her 200th Fort session on Friday!! What a way to start your day with a celebration and 6am Les Mills Grit Strength in the party shed . Cass has been #fortbuilt since July 2019, to have achieved 200 sessions in just over a year, especially with what 2020 has thrown us all us simply incredible and shows such commitment and discipline . Favourite classes: Les Mills Body Combat & Les Mills Grit Strength, I really enjoy the 6am clas...ses, sets me up for the day and I like knowing my exercise is done before I start work. Favourite thing about the Fort I love how it has got me excited about exercising again after a 12 month slump training elsewhere where I would go through the motions and not enjoy exercising, to falling in love with it again. Seeing the Fort Facebook posts got me excited to try the Fort out and to work out with Immy and Sam again. Why you recommend the Fort: I would recommend Fort for the friendly welcoming atmosphere and if time poor the half hour classes are perfect. Cass thank you for bringing a much needed element of balance and calm to our crazy Fort, for being such a shining example of quiet determination and commitment and always having a smile ready for everyone you see. You are our 6am superstar, we love having you at the Fort and are so very proud of you, congratulations on your 200th See more

09.01.2022 Are 7 year old boys feet a fair indication of what’s to come size wise like puppies?! NDawg .

08.01.2022 This moment exactly 12 years ago, we were only 5 hours from meeting you for the very first time . How we got lucky enough to be your parents I will never know. We are so very proud and head over heels in awe and love with the determined, hilarious, fierce and quick witted young lady you are becoming. Every year I do a birthday quiz with my babes where they answer the same set of questions and I store all the answers in their baby books , this year it needs to be noted he...r favourite foods of sushi and chocolate stand strong but have had tacos added (completely out of left field ) and her favourite perfume/smell = chlorine.....the water polo bug is strong . Happy 12th birthday to our beautiful Lainey Lou, you are my heart walking around outside my body. We love you more than all the gyms and basketball games in all of the land xxx. See more

06.01.2022 Fort directors future planning meeting for two in our favourite boardroom .

06.01.2022 The Fort does look good on you, especially after Les Mills GRIT CARDIO in 29 degree heat you legends . #fortbuilt since February 2019 for Phoebe, March 2017 for Kristy and since the dawn of time for Mel. This is loyalty. This is our Fort .

05.01.2022 Whaaaaaat have I signed, approved and authorised this time ole mate A.S Debnam . It would appear the Debnam’s + the Fort are on board .

05.01.2022 Huge congratulations to the gorgeous Khya in yesterday mornings Les Mills Body Combat Express on her 200th session!! Welcome to the 200 club!! Khya has been #fortbuilt since August 2018 . Favourite Fort sessions: My favorite classes are Les Mills Grit Athletic because I love a high energy workout, especially on a Wednesday morning because It really does set me up for my hump day, Les Mills Grit Strength and MetaPro 12 because they make me feel strong and capable and Les Mi...lls Body Combat because I feel powerful and ready to kick butt! Favourite thing about the Fort: The thing I love most about the Fort is it’s inclusivity. Even a socially awkward dork like me can feel like they belong and are part of something special, there is zero judgement or competitiveness and I feel like I have the freedom to work at my own pace and change the exercises up to suit me and my body. Why do you recommend the Fort: Over the past 12 months The Fort has become my sanctuary, I have not only increased my fitness but I have also built up my confidence and self worth. Magic happens in the Green Castle on the hill and for that reason I do not hesitate to recommend the Fort to anyone. Khya you are so kind, determined and fierce, you are such an incredible role model for your beautiful babes, your dedication to your training is second to none and your commitment to self love and self care inspires so many more people than I think you would realise. Thank you for choosing and trusting the Fort, we love you and are so proud of you . See more

05.01.2022 Sunday with our favourite little humans

04.01.2022 Signs of a wonderful time at the gymbob = Wild hair + licking the inside lid of your protein shaker concerned you’ll miss a drop. Tell me I’m not alone .

04.01.2022 LOVE this one ole mate . A dash of self belief and the support and confidence of your gym family...it really can be this simple if you’re in the right place. The Fort is waiting for you, all you have to do is bravely take that first step .

03.01.2022 The grandest gym floor in town; more expensive than my engagement ring , provider of support, catcher of sweat and sometimes tears, giver of clarity and perspective on all that was previously troubling you once the job is done and you lay down to catch your breath .

03.01.2022 I had a great day and my shoulder is stuffed . Now read that sentence again swapping and for but . Amazing how one little nugget of information from someone very wise can help change the way you think. I am so very grateful to the amazing team privy to the ugly side of this yet not leaving my side. I am gathering life lessons I didn’t think I would ever need but can now teach others .

02.01.2022 We are running a weekly meet the team series of posts until you have met and learned something about each of our incredible team of Fort instructors . I am so lucky to have such an amazing team that loves the Fort, are passionate about what they do and who care for and look after our members in the same way I do . Third cab off the rank, the amazing Sam!! I’ve been instructing for approx 6 years now. I’ve been at the Fort just over 2 years now, best decision ever!!! I ...teach Les Mills grit strength, grit athletic and body combat. My favourite classes are grit strength as it was first gym love and combat as it’s a little wild, but in summer in the fresh air and sunshine there is nothing better than Gazz hands down! I absolutely love all the classes!!! Loud music + weights is the perfect combination I live with my husband Will, and our three kids Leyla, Eden and Ned. We are currently living with my in-laws while we are preparing to build our next home. We have a staffy called Doug and 3 fluffy rabbits, Lola, Barney and Flora My favourite thing to do on a weekend off is to go camping with my family. Favourite food when food is life? I love an extra hot skinny latte and a raw dessert from Groundsman after the gym on my day off, but if there’s any left over rice after dinner I may put a little cream and coconut sugar on it for dessert! My sister gets it but our husbands think we’re weird Most people wouldn’t know I always wanted to race bombers at the speedway! I didn’t get there, but did get my adrenaline fix in a demolition derby or two My favourite thing about the fort is that it’s inclusive of everyone. We can all be ourselves, the constant laughter, and the amazing friendships I’ve made over the past two years. We love you Sammy and are so grateful for all you do for our Fort. THANK YOU

02.01.2022 10:15am; flat, no energy, grumpy, frustrated. 10:45am; HAPPY, full of energy, feeling light, positive and ready to tackle the rest of the day. . Never underestimate the power of exercise in whatever capacity it is available to you .

02.01.2022 On 29.5 degree Tuesday’s, we do the Metafit and we do the melting . Commitment = 10 ’s .

01.01.2022 Ole 2020 hey, a year with so many big losses, so much pain and also so many little griefs that in a normal year we would’ve been able to openly express our feelings about but this year have had to stifle and pretend to be ok about because they paled epically in comparison on a world scale. As we prepare to farewell the year, will you please take a second to share your favourite thing about this crazy ride? Mine are; the fight we put up to keep our shed open and the love and gratitude for those that fought alongside us, podcasts, walking, witnessing so much resilience in my friends and strangers, my family (and that we’re still all happy together despite our tiny cramped house ) and that I lived a meme and got up more times than I got knocked down. What are yours?
