22.01.2022 Want to make your veggies taste delicious? Here are 5 tips to LOVING YOUR VEGGIES! 1. VARY YOUR COOKING METHOD You can take one vegetable, like cauliflower, and cook it in a variety of ways. Methods include boiling, steaming, simmering, roasting, grilling, sautéing, stir-frying, braising, stewing, and even pickling. Whatever method you choose will lead to different flavours and textures. ... 2. TRY SOMETHING NEW Go to your local farmers’ market and get some suggestions for something new for you to try. Maybe pick up some artichokes to make a Spinach Artichoke Dip or some broccoli rabe for Sauteed Broccoli Rabe with Red Chili Flakes. Set a goal to serve at least one new vegetable dish a week. If there are already vegetables that you love, make your goal to prepare them in a few different ways (like a different cooking method). 3. DIFFERENT AROMATICS AND SEASONINGS Start with aromatics like shallots, onions and garlic. Heat a bit of your favourite oil in the pan and saute thinly sliced shallots and minced garlic until they are lightly browned and the smell permeates the air. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. Or grate some fresh ginger for an Asian flavour. These aromatics set the foundation for an amazingly flavourful dish. Use fresh or dried herbs and spices. Thyme, oregano and parsley are also among my favourite herbs while cumin, coriander and paprika are my favourite spices. 4. EAT THEM RAW Sometimes the best way to enjoy vegetables is to not cook them at all. Even when I am prepping veggies for cooking, I always munch on a few pieces raw. That’s the way you really taste the vegetable in its natural state and keep all those nutrients. Capsicum, carrots, celery, cucumber, mushrooms, just to name a few. 5. STUFF THEM Stuffing vegetables is a fun way to eat something different that also looks pretty impressive. There are a bunch of veggies that can be stuffed such as artichokes, capsicums, mushrooms, tomatoes, zucchini and squash. You can fill them with mince, rice (post workout), quinoa (post workout), mushrooms, spinach, or any of your favourite ingredients. #vegetables #veggierecipes #loveyourveg #healthyeating #foodtips

20.01.2022 Group sessions.. are back. Inside training.. is back. Training with our friends.. is back. Getting pushed that little bit harder.. is back.... How good had this week been? L O V I N G it

19.01.2022 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

19.01.2022 Dreaming of overseas travel, and ticking off bucketlists. Prior to covid, we had organised an international adventure with our fitfam every year. We've done; Everest Base Camp The Inca Trail, Machu Picchu, Peru... South Island, New Zealand 2020 was meant to see us get to South Africa and do Mt Kilimanjaro, however, it just wasn't to be. Thinking of heading out to our own backyard and exploring the great Aussie outback. Would you be keen or joining us, and where would you LOVE to visit/explore/conquer? #travelaustralia #bucketlist #adventure #wanderlust #machupicchu

19.01.2022 OUTDOOR PT - TRAIN WITHIN 25km of CROYDON, ROWVILLE, BRUNSWICK EAST Hey guys, somehow the govt seemed to forget giving us a mention in his press conference today.... As you know, we also have outdoor 2on1 and 1on1 pts running, with the 25km radius now coming in to place from tomorrow. If you were outside the 5km, but now within 25km, please send me a msg with your availabilities and I’ll see what I can do to get you in for some PT. SEE PRICING BELOW. Limited spots available

18.01.2022 Great to see so many happy, motivated people in tonight. Love the attitude, guys

18.01.2022 Your Tuesday reminder

16.01.2022 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

15.01.2022 New year, new attitude. The virus hasn’t gone away, but let’s work around it, focus on our health and be the best version of ourselves. Motivation will only last so long; set goals and throw yourselves into your health....now more than ever!

13.01.2022 A huge shout out to one of our Rowville members Ben. This is him doing walking lunges to full depth this week. 6 months ago, he needed to use a bench or a pole to balance him, and his range of motion only allowed him to go down about 2/3 of the way. He is now using his entire body weight (plus some added weight above his head), getting full depth and looking super controlled. Well done @bfish80. We couldn't be proud of you and all the changes you have made.... Not only that, he is also down a whole heap of scale weight and body fat too. A great reminder that you don't need to be perfect to start. You don't need to do all the exercises to start. If you've got an injury or a weakness, we can always adjust and regress an exercise to build you up to it. You've just gotta start. #progress #beforeafter #walkinglunges #regressions #welldone #personaltrainer

11.01.2022 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.

11.01.2022 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 WHO’S JOINING US?? MELBOURNE MARATHON, OCTOBER 10TH MPT will taking a team to the Melbourne Marathon with training programs and group training sessions to complete either the 5km, 10km, 21km or 42km run in October.... Whether you are fairly new to running and wanting to compete in your first event, or have done a few and ready to increase your intensity and level, then we would love to have you on board. We have trained groups before for a number of events (e.g. City to Surf), and I can honestly say it has been ones of the highlights of our time being a trainer. Seeing members complete goals they never once thought they could, and the camaraderie of training together as a team. Such a fun experience. Details will be out soon, but comment below or send us a msg if you are potentially interested and you will receive the info as soon as it is released. Also, we have had a few people say they would be keen to do some triathlon too, so we will also be taking a group through to complete in a shorter triathlon (more details to come soon), but the distance will be (750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run) and for race day either 28th nov or 12th dec. #setgoals #melbournemarathon #running #run #joinus

06.01.2022 After completing more than 380 live online workouts. After shutting our doors the past 32 weeks (bar that 2.5 week stint in July). Today we FINALLY reopened our doors and welcomed our members back inside. Been a massive couple of weeks getting it ready, but so proud. Can’t wait to finish off the year well and I think everyone is ready to bring on 2021

03.01.2022 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!!!!

01.01.2022 The REVERSE HYPEREXTENSION This machine is the real deal, and we have one available for use in our open gym at our Croydon facility. Louie Simmons first used the reverse hyperextension machine to rehabilitate back injuries. Today, it’s now also used to increase the strength of athletes, increasing their squat and deadlift weights significantly (and improving so many other lifts). Our open gym is currently being test driven by our current 12 week challenge members, but it w...ill be open in 5 weeks time to everyone else. For more information on pricing and availability, please text 0432 878 705. In the mean time, here is what Charles Poliquin (world renowed strength coach) has to say about the reverse hyperextension: "The reverse hyper machine is also excellent for improving posture and correcting abnormal pelvic tilt, which can immediately give the illusion of a flattened abdomen wall. One of the consequences of having weak erector spinae muscles is the development of a posture in which the upper back is rounded, causing the shoulders to droop forward and the chest to appear sunken. In order to maintain the center of gravity for this type of incorrect posture, the pelvis begins to thrust forward, ultimately causing a distended lower abdomen. This condition is often referred to as a kyphosis-lordosis posture. Together, the glutes, hamstrings, and erector spinae form what kinesiologists call the posterior chain. The posterior chain is responsible for allowing you to run at high speed, or to jump either forward or vertically. For example, in the vertical jump, the posterior chain contributes to 80% of the power output. So don’t waste your time on quads and calves development if you want rapid increases in your vertical jump. The reverse hyper machine will allow one to work the posterior chain in a synchronized manner. Back extensions would target the same muscle group, but not in the same recruitment pattern. Another disadvantage of movements like back extensions is the dizziness associated with their performance" @s@strength_sensei_inc @fernmalcolm #reversehyper #strongback #reversehyperextension #backday #posteriorchain @shanuk.rubera
