25.01.2022 QUICK POOL UPDATE: The outdoor pool will be unavailable tomorrow for public swimming, Friday 11/12/20 between 7am-8:30am, we have the Olympic Triathlon team visiting and training. Our normal squad and deep water running classes will run as per usual

25.01.2022 It’s a long weekend this weekend!!! Just what we need. Your club is still open Saturday and Sunday 7am- 5pm, so plenty of time to still get a session in. See below for more info

25.01.2022 Hi I’m Coach Des I teach the swim squads and triathletes here at Movement Casuarina. I was born and raised in country NSW growing up in a town of 350 people. I grew up racing motorcycles from an age of 5 until 30 before switching to triathlons, the rest as they say...is history!... I moved to Cabarita 25 years ago and have been looking after the Movement swim squads for the last 11 years. My love for coaching has taken me all around Australia and around the world, with Fiji and Tasmania being at the top of my list of favourite places. I’m never far away from my beautiful partner Ruth and our Springer Spaniel ‘Jasper’. I love a simple dinner of lamb roast, and living a quiet life outside of the competitiveness of full time triathlon coaching. A fun fact about me is that every male member of my family dating back to the early 1900s played a musical instrument and or sang. I love this life on the Far North Coast and the people so please come up and say hello if you see me round

25.01.2022 The Power of a Positive Morning Routine What is it that you do first thing in the morning? Whatever you do, whether you’re a morning person or not, work shift work, or are running around after kids, the decisions and actions upon waking matter. Why?... The power lays in the foundations of habits which set you up positively for the rest of your day by reducing decision fatigue and stress. Therefore, positively effecting the rest of your life. You have probably heard Steve Jobs, Barack Obama or Mark Zuckerberg wear the same shirt or suit everyday to reduce decisions in the morning, in order to make space and time for more important decisions of the day. Most people are either in a rush to get to work, pack lunches, get the kids to school or alternatively like the snooze button too many times. Are you a person who tries to relax in the morning or starts the day frantically or are you productive? Statistics suggest that yes going to bed early and waking up early help, but one of the stand out facts suggest no technology 30-60 minutes around sleep times. One of the main tips is to put your phone in another room and resort back to analogue alarm (((((scared face)))). Second is to meditate or use breathing techniques, and the third is to move. What does your morning ritual look like? Ours looks a little like this: Smiling members, tea and coffee, movement, healthy breakfast, then work. Comment below or tag us in your Movement ritual @movementcasuarina YouTube link: https://youtu.be/Ic8DhcRorgs

22.01.2022 Club Manager Mel grabbed one of our awesome members Janet and jumped into the Tesla to ask her some questions and rock out to some 80s beats. Dressed to impress in their 80s aerobics for our Les Mills Launch last week, Mel, Tammy and Janet are sure to impress you with this video Check it out and let us know what your favourite memory from the 80s is?

21.01.2022 Hi Everyone we are having some issues with our phones so please message us on facebook if you have any questions :)

20.01.2022 GIVE BACK THIS CHRISTMAS 2020 has been a difficult year for communities across Australia. And as Christmas approaches it is becoming increasingly clear that many Australians are going to struggle to have even a modest celebration. We have decided to help some local charities and organisations prepare Christmas hampers, including Agape, Baby Give Back, and You Have A Friend in Pottsville. Join us in providing gifts, there is a donation box in the club and we are wrapping pr...esents with Tweed Coast Church on the 26th November 3-9pm. Please consider giving gifts for a range of age groups, including babies, teenagers, parents, elderly and even pets! Gifts can range from non-perishable food, personal hygiene items, baby items, toys, gift vouchers, etc. Consider donating gift vouchers A gift voucher means a parent or guardian can still share in the unique joy of buying a gift for their child or family member (vouchers are also ideal for teenagers). Please leave gifts unwrapped so parents or guardians can choose which gifts suit their child’s interest and personality (feel free to include wrapping paper or gift bags). Your donated gift may be the only present someone receives this Christmas, so please donate new items only. Donations need to be to us by 5th December! For more details call the club (02) 6674 9966 or email [email protected]

20.01.2022 Coffee after class with the wonderful Pam You will often find Pam here at Osteria Cafe after one of our Pilates or aqua classes.

16.01.2022 Every moment of our life can be the beginning of great things ~ Joseph Pilates. How many great ideas came from discussions over tea or coffee? Today, our Member Experience Managers, Jess and Charmaine caught up @osteriacasuarina for their weekly meeting and usual Chai Tea to discuss the little victories of September happening across both Tweed and Casuarina Movement Health Clubs and future plans for October. We want to thank all of our members for their donations on Jers...ey Day, we sent off a $120 cheque to The Nathan Gremmo Foundation today, which made us so happy to be able to contribute to such a beautiful cause. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all your generosity and participation. It’s the little wins like this that lead to big wins! Stay tuned over the coming weeks to find out what’s happening in our Movement Community for the month of October!

07.01.2022 Meet Jennifer One of our fabulous members! We asked Jen a quick five fun facts you might not know about her! 1. Jen tries to attend the gym 6 days a week. To get herself ready and motivated she packs two bags every morning, one ready for the gym and one for the pool.... 2. Her favourite class is Deepwater Running on a Saturday. 3. One of her favourite activities is walking along the beach with her dog - Roy the Boy, a German Shorthaired Pointer. 4. She has four beautiful grandchildren, who she enjoys watching play football on the weekends. She’s their biggest fan! 5. Jen explains she is from Pottsville but travels to Movement Casuarina because it is an important part in her daily routine. She loves the open and down to earth atmosphere, the variety of classes and the instructors, and after class has coffee catch ups with the other ladies from the class. It keeps her social and she slips the sentence in - her second reason for attending the gym is she trains so she can eat. I think we all feel the same way Jen! See more

02.01.2022 The long awaited recipe for CHOC ZUCCHINI LOAF is here. If you got a taste of this lil beauty at the members morning tea, you will know what we are talking about If you didn’t get to try this tasty slice, don’t let the idea of zucchini and chocolate together scare you. It’s surprisingly delicious because the zucchini means it doesn’t dry out #moist. And of course it’s a healthier option to a choc brownie and a sneaky way to include more veg in your diet. Just don’t tell the... kids what’s in it Tip: Toast the loaf under the grill and serve with a dab of butter and you will be in chocolate heaven or alternatively put melted choc on top like we did here INGREDIENTS 2 cups blanched almond meal 1/2 cup raw cacao powder 1/2 cup cashews chopped 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp baking powder pinch of salt 100g butter 4 eggs 1 cup coconut cream or dairy cream 1/2 cup honey or rice malt syrup 50g dark chocolate melted 2 cups firmly packed grated zucchini (make sure you squeeze out all the excess juice - use a tea towel, and like really squeeze it so it dries out well!!) 1 tsp pure vanilla extract METHOD Preheat oven to 180 degrees and line a loaf tin with baking paper In a large mixing bowl place all the dry ingredients together and mix well. in a blender or processor place the butter, eggs, coconut cream, honey, chocolate and vanilla. Mix on low speed until smooth and combined. Add the wet ingredients to dry and mix until combined. Finally add the grated squeezed out zucchini and mix really well. Transfer to loaf tin and smooth out the top. Place in the oven for 1 hour 10 minutes or until completely cooked through. ENJOY
