20.01.2022 WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU EXERCISED BECAUSE YOU WANTED TO?? Exercise isn't something that should be seen as a punishment, or to 'burn off' the food you ate from the weekend. Exercise should be enjoyed. Yes while you're doing it, it may feel a little hard - BUT THAT'S THE POINT! Results, means pushing yourself - but it doesn't have to be in a way that you don't enjoy. When you enjoy the exercise the results will come a whole lot faster.

19.01.2022 As restrictions are lifting, the workouts keeping coming Together we can move mountains one workout at a time Saturday’s 11am start

19.01.2022 What is MetaFit? Regular Metafit workouts will make you fitter, stronger and leaner and will also take your energy levels through the roof . But if all that’s not enough to encourage you to give it a go, here are a few more reasons.... 1. It Only Takes 25 Minutes... Who has time to go to the gym for two hours these days? One of the biggest excuses I hear for not exercising is time . But Metafit is perfect for people with a busy schedule and if you can find 25 minutes in your day, you’ll be burning fat for fun in no time. Metafit involves short bursts of intense exercise , followed by recovery periods of low intensity activity or rest. Do Metafit 2-3 times a week and see ya later, body fat! 2. You’ll Be Burning Fat for Hours After You’ve Finished Training Unlike low intensity cardio such as jogging, Metafit will have you burning calories for hours and hours after you have finished your workout. We call this the after-burn effect. During this time your metabolic rate is boosted , so your body continues to burn more calories and more fat. The more intense the workout, the greater the effects will be, so you should always aim to push yourself as hard as you can. 3. Metafit Can Be Tailored to Your Fitness Levels Metafit workouts can be tailored to your fitness levels, so whether you’re 20 years old or 60, a solid Metafit session is all relative to your personal level of fitness. Our qualified coaches can adapt the exercises to suit you. The aim is to get your heart rate up to near maximal levels during the intense sets, before recovering during the rest periods. 4. You’ll Feel Like An Absolute Winner Afterwards Every Metafit session should be tough, but it’s all over in around 25-30 minutes and you will feel like an absolute winner after each session. And when your body fat starts to melt away and you become fitter, stronger and leaner, it will all be worth it. See you for a 11am start, Saturday!

19.01.2022 If you have you own boxing gloves, bring them tomorrow for our fitness class! During a Fitness Kickboxing class you can expect a full body workout which engages the muscles in your entire body. Fitness Kickboxing boosts your coordination, balance, flexibility and enhances your reflexes.

17.01.2022 6 AWESOME METAFIT HIIT BENEFITS. It's the start of the second round and I know what you're thinking (we've all been there)! 'Why do I put myself through this week in week out?' Well, here are 6 reasons why it's all worth it. Remember, Metafit is tough BUT that's why it works! ... 1. SUPER EFFICIENT Metafit is a super efficient workout which means you can spend less time training each week while still cashing in on all the fat burning, metabolism boosting , and heart-pounding benefits. If you're still not convinced that Metafit is worth a try, read on for even more of its advantages..... 2. STRONG HEART When you turn up the intensity on your workout, as Metafit does, you're making your heart work harder, and since this muscle (like most) becomes stronger after putting it through tough training, this workout is very beneficial for your hearts health 3. 2 FOR 1 You might not think that it's possible to squeeze strength training session and a fat burning cardio workout into a quick routine, but you would be wrong . With Metafit you're pushing yourself as hard as you can go to accomplish as many reps as possible. That butt busting earns you cardiovascular benefits. Metafit incorporates strength training exercises into our intervals (as well as cardio moves), so you also reap muscle strengthening benefits. 4. FOR EVERYONE Metafit exercises can be tweaked to suit your fitness level whilst still maintaining the intensity for an effective HIIT workout. You'll be amazed how quickly you progress and get fitter. 5. IGNITE METABOLISM When you do steady-state exercise, like going on a long run, your body uses less oxygen than when you push yourself to the max, as you do during Metafit. And when you work out to the point where it's difficult to breathe (because your body is using more oxygen), your metabolism starts working at a higher level, which helps you burn more calories during your workout and after you exercise, this effect known as the "afterburn." 6. BURN FAT When your workout goes back and forth between high and low-intensity activities like Metafit, it improves your anaerobic and aerobic fitness, which helps you burn more fat in less time than longer endurance training.

15.01.2022 The Advantages of Stretching Decreases muscle stiffness and increases range of motion. Injury preventing. Improves posture.... Helps reduce/manage stress. Reduces muscular tension and enhances muscular relaxation. Promotes circulation. Improves flexibility. Increases energy. The two most common forms of stretching are: Dynamic stretches - these are functional active movements using a full range of motion, which mimic the movements of the exercise you are about to perform. This allows you to perform your workouts safely to prevent injury. Static stretches - are stretches that are held in place for a period of time, without movement. This increases flexibility and range of motion and is recommended to be done at the end of your workout.

12.01.2022 Face Mask for 13 years and Above, the following is from The State Government - Here’s what you need to know about masks and exercising in Greater Brisbane. You ...need to wear a mask when you’re exercising indoors, for example at a gym, but you can remove your mask when you’re out of breath or puffing. You do not have to wear a mask indoors if you are doing strenuous aerobic exercise such as high-intensity interval training, cycling, running or team sport. If you’re exercising outdoors, you must carry a mask with you at all times.

07.01.2022 We are leaping into 2021! So why not do it together? GOALS AND INTENTIONS... set them for the week. Starting small will only lead to accomplishing bigger goals. The key is to start somewhere! Once you start setting and achieving those small goals they will grow into habits.... So why not start this week, at our first fitness class of 2021 at 10am Saturday.

07.01.2022 How to become and stay motivated Set goals. Goals give you a direction to focus on one that’s measurable and has an endpoint will help you to stay motivated.... Choose goals that interest you. You’re much more likely to stay motivated if you’re working towards something that you genuinely want to achieve. Find something interesting within goal that doesn’t appeal to you. Sometimes other people set goals or tasks for us that we don’t find interesting or want to do. So, try and find something within that task that does motivate you. Make your goal public. If you tell someone or write down your goal, you’ve essentially made a promise to yourself. Plot your progress. When you’re working towards something, it can be motivating to see evidence in the progress you’re making. You could create a visual representation of your progress. Break up your goal. Start with easier tasks and work your way up to bigger challenges. Breaking up a larger goal helps build confidence. Don’t do it alone. Join a class, or someone to share the experience with. People’s encouragement will boost your motivation, particularly when you’re doing it tough.

07.01.2022 Happy New Year! We hope everyone had a wonderful, relaxing Christmas and are ready to get back into the swing of things. Check out the holiday timetable, starting the 4th of January and running until the 25th of January inclusive.

06.01.2022 Start getting motivated for tomorrow’s session at 11am!

06.01.2022 We are running a MetaPwr session! MetaPwr is a circuit training session, that combines weights with MetaFit exercises. Come and give it a try, only water and a towel required. WHY METAPWR WORKS!!... 1. Uses compound and multi-joint exercises. Compound movements use lots of muscle groups at once; multi-joint exercises use multiple joints. Both are typically full-body. The more muscles used at once, the greater the metabolic impact. 2. Limits rest. While we never rush through exercises or rest, we keep the flow of workout going. No more than 15-30 second rest breaks between exercises - usually just enough to catch your breath and grab a swig of water. 3. Challenging weights. No Barbie weights here! Since rest is limited, you won’t lift as much as you might during a focused strength training session, but PWR still uses elements of resistance training. Heavier weights will build lean muscle and develop power, resulting in both even more metabolic spike over the long run. 4. Only 20-25 minutes (excluding warm-up). Workouts are kept short and intense to maximise the amount of energy expenditure and fat burn after the workout. THERE IS NO EASY WAY! There are no magic pills or miracle workouts! WORK HARD - Always work at your max intensity. NO DANCING - Big compound movements, no half reps. METABOLISM ON FIRE - Max effort + big ROM = increased fat burning, VO2 max and lean muscle.
