25.01.2022 60 years young and unassisted chin ups Leonie is amazing. We can’t wait to get back inside the gyms with our fitfam again.

24.01.2022 Seems like an age since we have been in our clubs. Can't wait to see everyone again and share the banter that comes with results and hard work. Until then, we bunker down, work hard from home and goal set. Control what you can control!

24.01.2022 Lower Back Pain when Squatting? One of the best, if not the best, exercises to do for gaining strength, muscle, and losing fat is the squat. However, many people simply do not do the exercise correctly; this is often due to the sedentary lifestyle which results in tight and weak muscles. If the squat is performed incorrectly over a long period it can lead to muscle compensations and chronic conditions such as lower back pain. Let’s look at two common ways squatting can cau...se low back pain. 1. Squatting can cause lower back pain when the neutral curve in our back is not maintained throughout the movement. A telltale sign of this is a rounding of the back and a loss of a curve in the lower back, often seen towards the bottom of the squat. A major cause of lower back pain during squats is when the person exceeds their current level of hip mobility, and then this places stress onto their lumbar spine. To avoid putting excessive strain on the back it is crucial to keep a slight, but not dramatic, curve in the back. The Squat should be first attempted with only the body as weight and should be learned correctly, before adding weight. 2.Chest Caving. One other major issue people have is tight hamstrings this is one of the main issues also why people get a sore back while squatting, as you descend in the squat your hamstrings start to stretch also, if they are tight this also can affect your hips tucking under, or what some people might know it as "butt wink", which takes tension away from the legs and thus on to the upper back. Another thing you could try is to move your hands in closer to your shoulders and drive your elbows underneath the bar, or to adjust the bar placement on your back. However, most of the time the excessive or nonexistent curving of the back can be caused by a weakness in the stabilising muscles of the lower back. Other things you can add into your training to improve your squat is exercises like Good Mornings to help strengthen the erector spinae muscles while also helping you to avoid a bent-over position during squats. Give it a go, guys. Hope this helps! See more

20.01.2022 Just wanted to remind you guys that anyone on their health journey or about to start that EVERYONE is different and there is no one size fits all approach. We are all so different genetically and there is no ‘secret’ that works for everyone. Start your journey for YOU, not because you want to look a certain way. You don’t need to transform how you look; it’s about what changes you can make on the inside. Healthy looks different for everyone. Find what you love doing and do that because it is sustainable. There is no ‘perfect’ body and no weight loss that will bring you happiness. Happiness comes from within

20.01.2022 Girl power in our group fitness session this morning! well done to everyone who got in to the clubs; you killed it!

19.01.2022 Get outside and improve that mood.... For all of the adverse effects the sun can have on our skin, the benefits it can cause are terrific. Sunlight and darkness trigger the release of hormones in your brain. Exposure to sunlight is thought to increase the brain’s release of a hormone called serotonin; serotonin is associated with boosting mood and helping a person feel calm and focused. At night, darker lighting triggers the brain to make another hormone called melatonin...; this hormone is responsible for helping you sleep. Without enough sun exposure, your serotonin levels can dip. Low levels of serotonin are associated with a higher risk of major depression with seasonal pattern (formerly known as a seasonal affective disorder or SAD). This is a form of depression triggered by the changing seasons. A mood boost isn’t the only reason to get increased amounts of sunlight. There are several health benefits associated with catching moderate amounts of rays. The melatonin pathway caused by exposure to bright morning light has been effective against insomnia, premenstrual syndrome, and seasonal affective disorder (SAD). Other things that sunlight can do that you might not know: It plays an important role in countering infection, inflammation, cancer, and autoimmunity, also it had Direct immune suppression. Exposure to both UVA and UVB, These mechanisms may help prevent autoimmune diseases. also, the sun can be used in treating skin disorders such as psoriasis. When in the sun a thing called Neuropeptide substance P. Along with CGRP, this neuropeptide is released from sensory nerve fibres in the skin following UVR exposure but may also produce local immune suppression. Get outside this weekend and enjoy the sun when and where you can.... See more

17.01.2022 Coach's Corner with Trav! It's easy to be discouraged right now; our state is a mess. However, for everything that we can't control, there is/are many variables that we can. Marcus Aurelius once wrote "You have power over your mind - not outside events. Realise this, and you will find strength". Truer words have never been spoken. We all want situations to be different, but it's important to control what is only in our control. For me, I have chosen to focus on my 36th birthd...ay on December 1. I want to be in great shape physically and mentally. Thats my driver; nothing can stop me. Even in times such as these, set GOALS! Don't stop living, being healthy and being human just because certain aspects of life change. Today, and tomorrow, are gifts. If you are failing right now, the only person that can pull you out of this is YOU! Take the time to get to know you, to break yourself down and to focus on what you want for yourself moving forward. I decided a long time ago to take the toxic elements out of my life and adopt a "keep moving" mentality. Right now, it's all we can do....keep moving, keep setting goals, make yourself proud. That's it. See more

17.01.2022 WISE WORDS FROM HEAD TRAINER @travispantelic on day 1 of our challenge. Read on if you need some inspiration on this gloomy day.... HEY GUYS! Day 1 is HERE! And WHAT A DAY to start a challenge, huh? Wet, cold, miserable....a great excuse to just get back under the sheets, curse the world and this god forsaken year we've had and not stress about your health because the universe is literally TELLING US to stay inside. It is important to understand that those who take every oppo...rtunity will always succeed; not every day will be perfect....some days are harder than others and being prepared is key. You have enlisted in this challenge for a reason; not because it will be easy, but because you want feel better, look better and just BE BETTER! When days like this come along, embrace them! The only way we can change our physical being is by first starting with what we say to ourselves. To abandon your pessimistic and negative thought processes is the only way forward. This next 4 weeks is about change; and this starts up here (I am pointing to my brain). Day 1; a PERFECT DAY to start. LET'S. GET. THIS!!!! My day started at 3:35; woke up in Rosebud, packed my bags, packed my food, ate my breakfast and prepped a green tea for the road and got the legends at Rowville up and firing at 5:15. Feeling super excited myself for this next 4 weeks; I turn 36 in a week and I am hell bent on making this next year my best. It starts with this next 4 weeks. Let's GO, guys!!!!

15.01.2022 Saturday morning crew at #croydon MPT!

15.01.2022 Behind the scenes of today’s 30 minute full body express SWEAT session. body weight intense cute little baby Mya checking it out and playing with her toys ... @fernmalcolm @travispantelic

14.01.2022 On Saturday's, we train.... VIRTUALLY

13.01.2022 2020 THAT’S A WRAP Well another year down, and there’s no denying what a whirlwind, rollercoaster it was. We saw the birth of our baby girl, Mya, in January, and then things took a spin.... Spending 2/3 of the year in an online setting, we adapted, pivoted and did the best we could to keep our members motivated and moving whilst in one of the world’s strictest lockdowns in Melbourne. We made the decision to close to our Brunswick East location, to focus more on our Croydon and Rowville clubs and on our family (it’s hard managing three clubs all at once with a newborn). It wasn’t what we imagined, but we made it and cannot wait to see what 2021 has to offer. We will be starting the year off with a bang, bringing back our very successful 28 day transformation challenge. First start date is Jan 11th. To all of our team, members and those who support our clubs, thanks for sticking by us. You support does not go unnoticed and we appreciate you all. Wishing you all a very safe and happy New Years and cannot wait to see you on the other side #seeya2020

13.01.2022 FLASHBACK to the MPT gang at Mount Everest Base Camp. Here we have coach Trav and Croydon legend Steve. It sucks not just being away from the club, but being away from the people we see more than our own families. The one thing you miss the most is often the thing you take the most for granted. This will hopefully mean that we all appreciate the special moments, the eye contact and the daily relationships we have all taken for as a normal function of our lives when we come ou...t of this. Until then, all we can do is go through our camera rolls and count down the days. Well done to all the legends who jumped online this morning on FB and Zoom; you the real MVP. Jump online or give your best friend a call today and tell them you love them.... Love your work. Enjoy your Saturday! See more

12.01.2022 Friday feature at MPT is Chris. 36kg down in just one year (and he's kept it off). Chris put resistance (weights training) first and worked with our trainer Chris on his nutrition. Well done Chris, and, Chris.... Legends!

12.01.2022 Verb: prioritise Designate or treat (something) as being very or most important. Determine the order for dealing with (a series of items or tasks) according to their relative importance.

12.01.2022 The moment you head out on your run or launch into your cycle class, the benefits of working out kick in. "We see changes in the body within seconds," says Michele Olson, Ph.D., senior clinical professor of exercise physiology at Huntington University in Montgomery, Alabama. Your heart rate increases and blood is delivered to your muscles. You start burning calories for fuel. And you get an almost immediate mood boost. As You Work Out... Your lungs are getting stronger. Whe...n you do cardio, your brain sends signals to them to help you breathe faster and deeper, delivering extra oxygen to your muscles. Within One Hour of Exercise... You're protecting yourself against colds, flu, you name it. Exercise elevates your level of immunoglobulins, which are proteins that help bolster your immune system and ward off infection. "Every sweat session you do can help strengthen your immune function for about 24 hours," Within One Day of Exercise... Your heart is healthier. One of the major benefits of working out can be found in how your heart functions. One sweat session lowers your blood pressure for up to 16 hours. Within One Week of Regular Exercise... You can push harder next time. Your VO2 max, a measure of your endurance and aerobic fitness, has already increased by about 5 percent, according to Olson. Translation: You can go a little harder and longer than you could before. Within One Month of Regular Exercise... You're blasting belly fat. After four weeks of regular workouts, your body is ditching flab and gaining muscle. Overweight people who took part in a four-week program of moderate aerobic exercise in an Australian study reduced ab fat by 12 percent. Within One Year of Regular Exercise... You're adding years to your life. Fitness buffs have better telomeres, the DNA that bookends our chromosomes and protects them from damage, which can slow the ageing process, studies show. Not to mention cutting your risk of cancer and having a much more efficient heart. Thanks Alyssa Shaffer for the tips See more

06.01.2022 Christmas Eve and a packed house this morning in the clubs. What better way to start the holiday season than with a workout? Well done team for getting it done. No excuses. Just consistently trying to be better, every, single, day.

05.01.2022 RUOK ? If you feel like something’s not quite the same with someone you know there’s something going on in their life or you notice a change in what they’re saying or doing - trust that gut instinct and take the time to ask them Are you OK? That conversation could change, or even save, their life. It's great to ask, but do you actually know how to say it? Are you prepared to answer if someone says no? We thought we would help you out by sharing the steps from @ruokd...ay 1.Be relaxed, friendly and concerned in your approach. Help them open up by asking questions like "What’s been happening?" Mention specific things that have made you concerned for them, like "You seem less chatty than usual. How are you going?" If they don’t want to talk, don’t criticise them. You could say: Please call me if you ever want to chat or Is there someone else you’d rather talk to? 2. Listen with an open mind Take what they say seriously and don't interrupt or rush the conversation. Don’t judge their experiences or reactions but acknowledge that things seem tough for them. Encourage them to explain: "How are you feeling about that?" or "How long have you felt that way?" Show that you've listened by repeating back what you’ve heard. 3. Encourage action Ask: How would you like me to support you?" Ask: What’s something you can do for yourself right now? Something that’s enjoyable or relaxing? You could say: "When I was going through a difficult time, I tried this... You might find it useful too." If they've been feeling really down for more than 2 weeks, encourage them to see a health professional. IF THEY NEED EXPERT HELP Some conversations are too big for family and friends to take on alone. If someone’s been really low for more than 2 weeks - or is at risk - please contact a professional asap. 4. Check in Pop a reminder in your diary to call them in a couple of weeks. If they're really struggling, follow up sooner. You could say: "I've been thinking of you and wanted to know how you've been going since we last chatted." Stay in touch. Genuine care and concern can make a real difference. Artist: @danhlegend In frame: @ali.earthchild

02.01.2022 Did you know we offer 2on1 personal training sessions for just $39 per person, per session? Got a friend in mind you'd like to train with? Or perhaps you would like us to partner you up with someone? Msg us for more information on how you can get started? And in the meantime, here are 3 facts as to why working out with a friend is the cool thing to do right now... ... 1When it comes to working out, it’s all too easy to break plans with yourself but if you’ve got a friend ready and waiting, suddenly your optional workout plans become more of a commitment. You’re much more likely to attend a workout or personal training session with a friend who you’ve made plans with than to motivate yourself to get moving on a lone run after a long day. 2A little healthy competition never hurt anyone, right? Training with a friend can often bring out the competitive side (or, at least the side who feels like they need to keep up). This increased motivation will help to keep you moving. After all, you can’t hold up your workout buddy. 3 Did you know you’re more likely to quit attending a fitness class if you attend on your own, rather than if you go with a friend? Simply having your workout buddy next to you makes all the difference! Share your success by partnering up with a friend and choosing a workout class that you’ll both enjoy. See more
