25.01.2022 Community support! How’s this for a cool story? @ailidh.mccall is new to the area and wanted to join a gym but couldn’t find one. She spotted a casual Instagram post that our legends @newyburgerco reshared from our page yesterday and then TODAY acted on it and joined our community for the very first time! Two very cool things. NBC always supporting our business and mission to help women so THANK YOU!!! And then @ailidh.mccall acting on it without over thinking it or leaving it weeks and weeks to join! We just loved this so much and had to share! Thank you Benny and the team. You guys are one of the most kind and supportive brands we have ever known!!

24.01.2022 SUNDAY SESH!! 7:00am-8:00am TOMORROW! 30 min EMOM Choose 5 x movements and complete 6 x rounds! Be there ladies! All welcome!

24.01.2022 Did you know?! We absolutely systematise EVERYTHING for your entire experience when you train in a session at Lissome. We set our Coaches targets and To Do Lists for every session they coach with every athlete they come into contact with. One process we have is our 3 Contact Athlete Points Every session that you attend at Lissome you should receive; A point of welcome where you hear your name ... Morning Sally, how are you today?! A point of encouragement You’re hitting that depth in your squats beautifully Sally. Keep it up! A point of FEEDBACK Hey Sally, I really would love to see you focus on driving those knees out of the squat, especially as you get heavier with that barbell today. Now sometimes you get more, sometimes you get less. But that’s always our goal. Please don’t be offended, hurt or feel personally attacked when you receive the FEEDBACK. We follow a balance of both encouragement as well as helping you to improve. If we swayed too much on the encouragement side, you’d never improve. But if we were always super tough on you, you’d feel defeated and not enjoy the journey. So a balance of the two is necessary. Please always remember that every single one of our coaches has your BEST INTERESTS at HEART! ALWAYS! Oh and your name, we’ll that’s just the bare minimum isn’t it?! We know you’re name because we have a relationship with you therefore can truly have an impact on your life See more

24.01.2022 Control the controllable One thing that I CAN control is my actions; what I choose to do with my time For that reason, I choose to train. ... I choose to train when I want to, even when I don’t want to. It’s more often than not that bed seems like the more comfortable option when 6/7 mornings start at 4 or 5am. But, I know I aways feel so much better when I choose the less comfortable one. I choose to sweat and move my body daily because it makes me feel good and is my investment in my health and future self. No one else can do this for me. That is my power and my privilege. I ‘get’ to train and take care of my body. Training is self care, it’s a life force. It gives me energy and I am a more vital, productive, responsive, and resilient version of myself when I do While I have health and am able, I will train. For it is forever teaching me, equipping me and quite literally training me for life @kobe.jadephotography @lissome_newcastle @lissome_maitland

24.01.2022 All you have to do is two things. We can take care of the rest. Full money back guarantee if you join Lissome and you do not feel fully welcomed, supported and encouraged. No. Questions. Asked. Guaranteed

16.01.2022 Happiest of birthdays to this little weapon, legend, training buddy and friend! @maddisongiggins has been a member of Lissome for the best part of 4 years and an absolutely integral part of our community and culture. When polled recently who was the first friend you made at Lissome, our members voted Maddie in at an overwhelming 60%!!

You are goals my friend. Keep being you. We all love you

10.01.2022 ROWING There are huge benefits to incorporating rowing into your training routine including muscle conditioning and cardiovascular fitness. Rowing improves your aerobic conditioning, total body conditioning and is a relatively low impact exercise. Learning how to row efficiently FIRST is ultimately important and to do that you need to understand the basics of the complete movement; The Catch The Drive... The Finish We are hosting a workshop on Saturday 31st October and we really encourage you all to attend so that we can help you become more efficient and more powerful in this movement! Free for members. @ashlee_hammond See more

04.01.2022 I listened to something yesterday and it really rang true for me, so I thought I would share. I know that I have heard this before, either the exact wording or maybe slightly different... but for some reason it really sank in and hit home. In the context of standing by our values and expectations, whether you’re coaching, training or socialising with colleagues or members. If someone were to do or say something that wasn't in line with those values, we are always in a positio...n to; A) Ignore it and let it slide OR B) Stand up, express that it is against what we do believe in It can be and usually is complex and challenging as we innately want to 'be liked and fit in’... "Leaders aren't always liked but they are respected" Wise words by our leader, friend and forever biggest inspiration @ashlee_hammond At Lissome, our leaders stand by our values. Even when it’s hard. Actually, ESPECIALLY when it’s hard. That’s the only time it really counts. #COURAGE #EXCELLENCE #COMMUNITY

04.01.2022 First Breakfast Club for the year! So happy to be back doing our favourite things! Training + then eating! @wilandsons

03.01.2022 Happy Hump Day all!

03.01.2022 Monday... Today was tough. Let’s turn up again tomorrow and try our best. Make sure you’re booked in for all classes and don’t exceed the cap ladies! Plenty of classes on the timetable to choose from. Ensure you don’t cancel last minute either. It means someone will be unable to attend in your spot. Do the right thing

03.01.2022 SATURDAY SKILLS SWEAT SWIM SIP ... It’s our favourite day of the week and even MORE REASON to look forward to a Saturday! 6:00am Skills Workshop We are focussing on ROWING!

03.01.2022 In today’s workout I; Completed only the 30 minute Fitness Class to ease myself back in Scaled the weight of the dumbbell back to 10kg instead of 15kg... Focussed on depth, quality and consistent pace rather than going flat out Allowed and released the following thoughts all going through my head; I’m so unfit after a week off I shouldn’t have eaten and drank so much in Tassie I feel heavy, gross and slow And instead chose to redirect my thoughts to; I’m going to focus my energy outwards and encourage others I’m going to have fun and ease myself back in this week I woke up at 5am for the first time in over a week and I’m here We are all training a little less and feeling a little yuk around this time which is totally normal! Don’t hold onto those negative unhelpful thoughts. Change them up! Scale the weight back! Be kind to your body. Focus on moving and just being there and having FUN! And as always let your coaches know if we can help! It’s a tricky time of year and normal to dread coming back to the gym! But as soon as you do you’ll no doubt be feeling great and remember how awesome it is to be moving, back with your girls and back into a routine!

01.01.2022 Last class for 2020 If someone had told you on January 1st of 2020, what would unfold over the course of the next 12 months, would any of us have believed them? Not a chance. ... We were not prepared for the closing down of our two sites for 4 months. We couldn’t have imagined being under lockdown for months on end. We couldn’t have anticipated our local businesses, cafes, restaurants, bars and more would be closed and some to never reopen again. We could not imagine the overwhelming grief, loneliness and isolation we would each experience when daily contact with our community was prohibited. What we have learned is that nothing can replace the value of human connection. It is vital for our overall wellbeing, health and happiness. We have learned that we all play a part in our ever evolving communities and that our individual contribution is significant. Our motto has always been that we are Stronger Together, and this year proved that this is infinitely true. Who knows what 2021 has in store for us? Some predict it will be better and we have left the craziness of 2020 behind. Some disagree. All we do know, is that by creating a community that stands in love and support of one another, despite our differences, opinions and beliefs, where women strive to better understand, accept and celebrate each other, we can not be broken. We will not allow the uncertainty, fear and control of 2020, follow us into 2021. The way that we do this, is by becoming more intentional with how we lead ourselves and each other. Leading ourselves with love over fear. So in 2021, when times get tough, remind yourself that you always have a choice. Instead of FEAR Choose love, trust, calm and courage Instead of CONTROL Choose freedom, strength, knowledge and understanding Instead of ISOLATION Choose continuity, togetherness, community and connection We have the power. We are stronger, together Words by @neridabint
