25.01.2022 What does progression look like to you? Progress is not always about lifting more weight, or being leaner, or having more muscle. Sometimes it’s important to see beyond the surface. Progression can look like learning how to move more efficiently, developing more body awareness, understanding your optimal training style, feeling confident under the bar, practicing commands, etc. It takes months, or even years to see incremental progress in both your body composition and your strength. Enjoy the process and acknowledge your progress no matter how insignificant it may feel.

25.01.2022 Nothing better than being able to shut the rest of the world out and focus on a workout

25.01.2022 Sometimes it’s just impossible to control outcomes of our success. Yes, putting in the work can increase the likelihood of success but sh*t happens and sometimes it’s just bad luck. You might feel that sometimes you put in the work, but look back at your outcome and don’t see the difference. Hours, days and months of work but you’re still in the same place? But have you considered the things you’ve picked up along the way? Learning a new skill? Practicing discipline? Learning to be resilient? Finding what does and doesn’t work for you? All these are invaluable tools that will take you further in the future. Don’t define yourself based on what outcome you’ve achieved, but look back on the efforts, commitment and and appreciate the process.

25.01.2022 Try paying attention to the things you say to and about yourself. Whether said as a passing comment or as a statement, phrases like I can’t or I’m the worst at... can be very declarative and can define your ability to achieve your goals.

23.01.2022 Don’t let the noise distract you from your goal. There’s nothing anyone can say or do to take away from your success. Let the people talk while you put in the hard yards. After all, not everyone will understand what it takes to be a winner.

23.01.2022 Anyone else trained today and started the week of strong?!

23.01.2022 Full results don’t come from half hearted effort. If you truly want to achieve something, you will put in 110% of your efforts day in and day out. There is no such thing as a shortcut, just pure hard work, discipline and consistency. Shoutout to our boy @coachzacli who showed us exactly how that’s done in the lead up to ICN Worlds last month!

23.01.2022 Every decision and choice that you make, no matter how small it may seem, contributes to a bigger goal. Imagine if you made one better choice each day, where would you be in a year?

22.01.2022 Patience, consistency, hard work and good programming is key to getting stronger. You don’t get stronger by doing a different workout 6 times a week with muscle confusion doing movements you learnt from instagram. You get stronger by sticking to a good program consistently over a long period of time, working hard each time you train, and challenging your body with enough workload each time to require your body to adapt to stress.

22.01.2022 Short term change = short term results. If your diet has an end date where you start to eat normally again, chances are that you’ll regain what you’ve lost (or lost what you’ve gained). Intense periods of low carb, low fat, low calorie diets will probably lead to weight loss, but it eventually gets to a point where it becomes unbearable and you cave in and eat all the forbidden foods that you’ve deprived yourself of in the last months or so. Aim for steady and sustainable change. Be reasonable with the goals you set yourself and your action plan to reach them.

22.01.2022 The only limits that exist are the ones in your own mind.

22.01.2022 No time is no excuse. Slow cooker recipes are easy and takes little to no effort. Literally a chop and chuck job and you’ve got several meals for the week

22.01.2022 Nothing like being well prepared with prepped meals on a busy Monday! #MealPrepSunday keeps us stress free throughout the work week!

21.01.2022 Recognise and acknowledge your success. Look back at how far you’ve come through the hard work that you’ve put in. Appreciate yourself for your success - it’s good to give yourself a pat on the back to acknowledge and encourage yourself to make the same choices that lead to further success.

21.01.2022 Close your eyes and you think you’re at In N’ Out

21.01.2022 Be proactive, not reactive. Strive for consistency with exercise and good nutritional habits as a preventative healthcare measure, don’t wait until the onset of ill health to start building better habits.

20.01.2022 It is the dosage and not the substance that makes the poison. Too much of a good thing can be detrimental, but that’s no reason to completely avoid fruit! Rich in vitamins and minerals, fruit makes for a healthy little snack especially to satisfy the sweet tooth!

19.01.2022 Don’t worry about how fast or slow you’re seeing progress. What matters is that you are heading in the right direction. Does it really matter how long it takes for you to get there, knowing that you WILL eventually get there? Slow progress is better than no progress, and that with patience and more hard work, that will accumulate to a big result!

19.01.2022 Imagine giving up every time before you reach your training threshold. Or giving up when the set gets a little messy. Or stopping every time you feel tired. How would we ever get a result if everytime something got difficult, we just threw in the towel. However frustrating it may feel when things get challenging, persistence is key. Remember, diamonds are made under pressure!

18.01.2022 CONVENTIONAL VS SUMO DEADLIFT?? Conventional: - Less use of quad drive - More lean at the torso... - Larger range of motion - Not cheating Sumo: - Easier to use quad drive - Less upright torso position - Greater demands for hip mobility - Also not cheating Which do you prefer??

18.01.2022 Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn. We don’t just chuck you a nutrition plan and training program for you to follow 5 times a week. We don’t just show you how to do an exercise. Or give you a set of macros to follow. Instead, we’re committed to empowering you with the knowledge, skill and experiences in training and nutrition to problem solve through your issues. How rewarding to see #TeamMomentum veterans sharing experiences and advice to newer members, and seeing everyone motivate each other at our Saturday conditioning session!

18.01.2022 To focus on wealth building without health building is an incomplete equation. Let’s live longer lives so we can enjoy the wealth we create and not just leave it for the next in line. Take control!

18.01.2022 Big goals sure as hell are intimidating, but don’t let that stop you from trying. Think about the last time you achieved a goal that you thought was never going to happen. All it took was a bit of hard work, discipline and perseverance!

18.01.2022 WHAT FOODS DO I NEED TO EAT IN MY DIET? Answer isit’s really a matter of what you want to achieve. A diet high in carbs might be more appropriate for someone like a marathon runner, a diet higher in fat might be more appropriate for someone with a history of diabetes, a diet high in salt might be required for an athlete who sweats a lot. There really is no one size fits all approach when planning one’s nutrition! Comment below or DM us if you’re wanting to find out more about what YOU need to be eating!

17.01.2022 A goal without a plan is just a wish. Go into each week with intention. What do you want to achieve in that week and how will you achieve it?

17.01.2022 What you perceive as difficult is dictated by what you’ve experienced in the past. What you consider a heavy weight will differ depending on what your PB is. What you think about the state of your health might differ from another person because of your medical history. What you perceive about your body can change depending on what you view as beauty or depending on what you consider the norm. There is often a huge discrepancy between your reality and your perception. Our circumstance are often not as bad as it seems, it often is truly just a matter of what we choose to see.

17.01.2022 Exercise & intensity selection during your training sessions should be dictated by what strengths you want to achieve. Want to be great at squatting? Then incorporating more squats will improve your skill, develop the muscles used on the squat and increase strength in your squat. Have you ever seen that guy at the gym who smashes 15 reps of 240 kilos on the leg press but works up to a top single of 140kg when he tries to squat? That’s exactly what we mean! The most efficient route to getting stronger in a specific movement is to train that specific movement. So get squatting! (unless you just want to be strong on the leg press )

17.01.2022 70% adherence over a whole year will give you a better result than 100% adherence over 2 weeks. Consistency over intensity, always.

17.01.2022 Go for it. Take the leap. Whether it’s setting a big goal like running your first marathon or competing for the first time, just do it! Don’t hold back and second guess yourself. Set yourself to the challenge and you’ll be amazed at how much you can achieve!

16.01.2022 Our fave place to HANG out (and challenge our grip strength, of course)

16.01.2022 So nice! I’m choosing What do you choose?

16.01.2022 Whether you are accountable for your own actions, or if you have a coach or friend to hold you accountable for your goals, having accountability helps us commit to ourselves and the goals we have set out to achieve. Having someone be accountable for your goals can be a useful tool, especially at times of low motivation, or when other priorities start to impact on your goals. Who do you have responsible to keep you accountable for your actions/goals?

16.01.2022 Surround yourself with people who will empower, inspire and enable you to be better, stronger and the best version of you.

14.01.2022 As much as your meals don’t have to be bland and boring to be healthy, eating less palatable foods can be a good strategy to reduce caloric intake. Hyper palatable foods, typically highly processed, contain high concentrations of sodium or sugar and tend to cause cravings or may urge you to overeat even if full.

14.01.2022 SAFE SPOTTING Just because someone has big muscles and has been a gym bro for 2 years, doesn’t mean they will know how to safely spot you . Spotting is truly an art that apparently takes some brains to learn! A few tips on things to communicate about with your spotter before you lift: - How many reps you intend on doing - Whether you require help unracking/re-racking... - How you like to be spotted for, eg. If you like your spotter to stand in front of you or behind you (we recommend behind - the front can get a bit awkward sometimes) Here’s coach @esther.hoangle being an absolute gun at spotting her clients and ensuring that they’re safety is always the priority

14.01.2022 One step you take towards the right direction is one less step you have to take to reach your goal. Make everyday, every workout, every meal, every decision count. No matter how small or insignificant it may seem, it all contributes in the long run!

12.01.2022 Not all chocolate is created equal. Some are sugar laden, filled with caramel, cookies and other bits and pieces, but the darker varieties with a higher % of cocoa are potent in antioxidants linked with improved cardiovascular health, better cognitive function, blood pressure and sugar regulation and might be a tasty little treat that won’t derail you from your goals when eaten in moderation!

12.01.2022 Veggies, spray of oil, season, and roast. Bake with some protein for an easy and fuss-free meal!

12.01.2022 You won’t get what you hope for with your thoughts, you get what you demand with your actions.

11.01.2022 Can’t have everything!

11.01.2022 We all go through some good times and some bad. The real test of your resolve is picking yourself up when its easier to just lay on the ground. Stand back up and keep going. You owe it to yourself!

10.01.2022 The go-to brunch choice: eggs, bacon and greens Hope everyone is enjoying their Easter weekend!

10.01.2022 Doesn’t matter how much you feel like you’ve messed up or back tracked, the opportunity to turn it back around is just a matter of one choice.

10.01.2022 If you focus on results, you will never change. If you focus on change, you will get results. Put in the hard work, be consistent and trust the process.

10.01.2022 Wild vs farmed salmon Farmed salmon is much higher in fat - at 13g per 100g as opposed to 6g per 100g in wild caught salmon; has less potassium, zinc and iron than wild salmon; and has a mere third of the omega 3 : omega 6 ratio of farmed salmon. Farmed salmon is still an excellent source of protein and essential fatty acids, but if you have access to wild caught salmon, it’s definitely worth giving the nutritionally superior version a shot!

10.01.2022 Spice up your meal prep with some TURMERIC! - Has a subtle bitter taste - Contains curcumin, which has strong antioxidant properties - Can help fight chronic inflammation... - Is associated with improved heart function, joint and brain health See more

10.01.2022 We sacrifice lots of time, energy and put in lots of hard work day-to-day, only in hopes of reaching the goals we want to achieve. As unfortunate as it may seem, some of us might never reach the big audacious goals that we envision, which is why we stress on the importance of enjoying the process. Appreciate the fact that the work that you put in now will get you closer to your goal than if you didn’t put in the same amount of work. Find joy and pleasure in your work, instead of getting so caught up in our struggles.

10.01.2022 Shoutout to everyone who puts in 110% effort at every training session of the week! #TeamMomentum : @steven_wilson07

09.01.2022 Asian leafy greens are super low in calories, high in micronutrients and fibre, and are deliciously crisp when not overcooked. Blanched or sautéed in some ginger and garlic are one of the best ways to enjoy it!

09.01.2022 Whatever you dwell upon goes. The more you think about something, the more it becomes a part of your reality. Positive thinking plays a bigger part of your progress than you might think. Dwell on the failures or what you feel like you cannot achieve - you can probably guess what your trajectory looks like. Keep your chin up, keep looking forward and think positive!

09.01.2022 Have faith that your hard work will produce success. Be patient enough to put in the work for enough time to see a result. We often see people put in work for a week or two, get impatient, and give up, or look for another solution. Find joy in the process, trust it, and the outcome that you work for will inevitably fall in place.

09.01.2022 What’s a group session without a little bit of fun and laughter?

06.01.2022 You can set a goal, but if you don’t have a plan, there’s no way to get there. How will you achieve your goals? what are the steps you need to take to get closer to where you want to be? What’s your game plan?

06.01.2022 Shout out to Wolfpack Mentee Zac (Xiao LI) . - Part of the Momentum Health & Fitness crew, this chap is stepping up his career as a trainer and realised it's fa...ster (and easier) to ask for help from someone who’s been there and done that, rather than spending years hitting your head against a brick wall never making progress. - Very much looking forward to teaching Zac and the gang at Momentum Health & Fitness business and marketing this coming May! - Are you a trainer and need a hand with your PT business? DM me and let me know what you're struggling with. See more

06.01.2022 It’s so easy to overlook our own accomplishments, and compare our successes to others, especially in the scheme of social media posts of everyone’s highlights. Success goes beyond the superficial of gaining muscle, losing fat or getting stronger. Success can be overcoming something that you thought you never could. Success is giving it your best shot. Success is learning a new skill or obtaining new knowledge. Success is not giving up. What’s your success?

06.01.2022 No one can motivate you better than you can motivate yourself. No one can tell you what goals you need to set or what you should achieve by when. Neither can anyone put the work in for you for you to see success. It all starts with YOUR why.

05.01.2022 Anyone else putting those hot cross buns to good use?

05.01.2022 Flexibility allows for greater consistency. Imagine eating a strict diet of a small range of foods for a long period of time - you would probably go insane! Consuming a wider range of foods, and including that little treat every once in awhile, will enable you to be more consistent over a longer period of time, leading to better results in the long haul.

04.01.2022 Do you have limiting beliefs about your abilities? Do the phrases that run through your head sound like I can’t or I’m not good enough? Often it is those thoughts that place a limit on what you choose to do. It limits you from moving towards trying the things that you want to do and achieving that audacious goal that you’ve always wanted. Those are the thoughts that encourage you to give up, that tell you it’s too difficult or that your goal isn’t worth pursuing. Replace those beliefs with empowering self-talk: I can do it, I am looking forward to becoming healthier or even I am capable of being strong.

03.01.2022 Staying in control of the weight is important when learning movements or developing motor patterns. Focus on being precise and consistent with your technique at every rep, using a suitable load, instead of swinging weight around to demonstrate your strength.

02.01.2022 You simply will not know if you don’t try. But what if.... - you say? But what if you don’t? Don’t miss out on achieving greater things because you were too afraid to try. Stop sitting around and contemplating. Set up an action plan, and execute.

02.01.2022 That look when coach catches you working below the prescribed RPE #oops

02.01.2022 As exciting as it can be to start working towards a new goal, the go hard or go home mentality needs to go. You don’t learn to walk overnight without crawling. Neither do you get to your goal after a few training sessions. Don’t put everything you have into the first three training sessions, only to have nothing left to give for the rest of the training cycle! Gradually building up over time is key. There is no point taking two steps forward if you have to take three steps back. After all, slow and steady wins the race!

01.01.2022 Everyone likes having a choice. Being able to pick and choose what you like, have a bit of variety, and to have what you want when you want. Choice can become troublesome, however, when too much variety is possible. If you’re having to think about and decide what you will eat for each meal everyday, you may experience decision fatigue and will be more likely not to eat according to your goals. Instead, pre-plan what you will eat when you’re in the right mindset, and set up a good routine and set of habits each day that will aid in your ability to stay consistent for longer!

01.01.2022 Reflect. Appreciate how far you’ve come. Appreciate how much work you’ve put in. As far as you feel from your end goal, it’s important to give yourself the credit and acknowledgement of how much work has been done. Of how much you’ve grown. Of both your physical and mental transformations.
