22.01.2022 I’ve held back but it’s time to speak out. Please share and repost because we need to be heard. We really need to reclassify gyms and fitness centres as an esse...ntial service. Despite the incredible ignorance of the chief health officer, stating that gyms are ‘a high risk setting and that they cause outbreaks’. That is just not true. Data collected by Fitness Australia across over 500 gyms in NSW that have reopened since June, show that there have been over 7 million visits without a single recorded case of community transmission. Despite the ignorance of politicians and people that don’t work out, going to the gym is so much more than physical fitness. It provides a coping mechanism for millions of Australians to keep their mental health in check, to keep depression and anxiety at bay. In many cases it is the single thread that holds so many people’s lives together. Exercise obviously keeps you healthy and boosts your immune system. There are so many reasons that make gyms safer, more hygienic and cleaner than the Victorian premier and his chief health officer could begin to understand. From the contact tracing issue, we are so far ahead of every other industry. Members swipe in with a fob that provides their name, phone number, photograph, address and date of birth. It tells us what time they enter the gym to the very minute. It also can trace every single person that is in the facility at any given time. When we go to the supermarket or bottle shop, there is no identification check, not even a sign in system. Compared to last time Victoria was able to have their businesses open, with restaurants shops etc. We were able to enter shops with no check in. Cafes and restaurants by signing in on a clipboard. A clipbord not sanitised, with the same pen that everybody else used without the offer of hand sanitiser to follow. When people enter our gyms they check-in and they have to sanitise their hands before they enter. Every machine or bench is 1.5m apart. Every second cardio machine is switched off and taped up so they can’t be used to adhere with social distancing. We have hygiene stations everywhere, with disposable paper towel and hospital grade disinfectant. Members must wipe down every bench, handle, barbell and dumbbell after every single set. We have been in the sweat business for a long time, hand sanitiser in our gyms has been standard for 12 years, not 12 weeks. As an industry we have not been consulted, advised or considered. I hope that someone in government gets to read this and at least reach out for an open discussion. I am here for every gym owner, personal trainer and family business that has been decimated by this blatant and now targeted ignorance.

17.01.2022 Have you tried the Booty Builder yet? Thanks @becdyson_ for demonstrating how to adjust it. #bootybuilder

16.01.2022 Come try out the new Booty Builder!! #Repost @sopheallen --- GLUTES WORKOUT ~ GYM ... I designed 3 different gym programs when I launched TWS Cut & Tone Build & Shape Grow Your Glutes (Then added TWS At Home & TWS Anywhere) These programs differ in terms of exercise order, selection, weights & reps, rest periods & number of exercises to ensure you’re achieving your training goal. But one thing they all have in common - you will get strong and you will build lean muscle join today via the link in my bio and take advantage of the free 8 Week Bloom Challenge running in 2 weeks! A1. HIP THRUST 4 sets x 8/8/10/12 reps Drop weights after your first 2 sets and increase reps - this will burnnnn ensure you’re training close to failure (pick a challenging weight and add more reps if you’ve got more in the tank) B1. BULGARIAN SPLIT SQUATS 3 sets x 10 reps each Add weights (I’m in rehab mode so unfortunately can’t even program bulgarians for myself but I can fill them on my good leg for you all) C1. LEG PRESS - WIDE STANCE 3 sets x 12 reps C2. BACK EXTENSION 3 sets x 15 reps D1. MACHINE ABDUCTOR 3 sets x 30 reps See more

14.01.2022 #Repost @ryderwear Iron Armour Gym....your local Ryderwear Stockist --- ROMANIAN VS CONVENTIONAL DEADLIFTS EXPLAINED with @aliceejane -... "ROMANIAN DEADLIFTS: Targets glutes & hamstrings This movement starts and ends at the top. Engage the glutes and find neutral pelvis. Initiate the movement by pushing the hips back as far as you can while keeping a neutral spine. Only go as far as your hamstrings allow (stop once you can’t push the hips back anymore) this is usually around knee height. . CONVENTIONAL DEADLIFTS: Targets erectors, lats, rhomboids, glutes, quads, hamstrings... (most of your body) This Movement starts and ends on the floor. Start with feet roughly hip-width apart and grip the bar outside the shins. Try to keep your weight sitting back into the heels (often people are tempted to rock their weight forward). The bar drags in a straight line up the shins. Glutes, core, and back are tight at the top, then you lower the bar in a straight line all the way back to the floor. This is a great lift to build overall strength and you can generally lift a lot more weight here than in a Romanian because of the several muscle groups that are involved in the lift."

13.01.2022 Hi everybody, You may have noticed the new benches in the gym, these are designed so that you don't have to un-rack the bar from behind your head, greatly reducing your risk of injury during a bench press. Here's Rod giving a quick demo of the process. ... The only difference between this and a normal bench press is that your initial lift position starts at the bottom end of your pecs/chest, instead of above your head. On top of reducing the risk to your shoulders, this will help with strength in the press as you also reduce fatigue to those smaller but also crucial pressing muscles in the shoulders and upper back.

11.01.2022 Proud of ya #Repost @_cienan_ --- Something only a few people know is that I’ve been on medication for anxiety and depression since March last year. I’ve been struggling with anxiety more now then ever thanks to covid and not having access to the gym... now that things are getting back to normal I’ve gone from crying everyday and thinking that I’m going crazy to actually feeling stable (apart from every now and then) ... When I am here, my busy mind clears and for once I can focus on the present moment. That’s why I show up. It’s taught me to push myself and try new things even when I’m sure I will fail. It’s shown me that I’m the one who holds me back, and I can do anything if I believe in myself
