24.01.2022 Did you know? https://www.ideafit.com//exercise-improves-memory-perfor/

23.01.2022 Congratulations Angela, what a terrific journey to better health and wellness.

21.01.2022 Functional training is what I describe as any exercise that helps you perform activities in everyday life more easily by mimicking the movements of your daily life like reaching, carrying, dragging and shifting. Training in this manner improves your quality of life by allowing you to move easier therefore reducing your risk of injury. I believe traditional strength training goes hand in hand with functional training. For example one of my favorite moves/exercises is getting... up and down of the ground. In order to do this easily you need to have upper and lower body strength, as well as balance, mobility and flexibility. If we were to look at upper body strength you’d see that there are many options available from beginner to more advanced. Pull ups, lat pull down, TRX rows, seated row, chest press are just a few exercises that help with upper body strength. - Shiela Askey

20.01.2022 When working with clients or watching ‘gym goers’, personal trainers often observe the following common ‘mistakes’ associated with functional movement. 1) Gym goers read an online or magazine article about a ‘you beaut’ new exercise guaranteed to do X, Y and Z. 2) Gym goers see someone performing an exercise and think that it would be worth a try to see if it works for them.... 3) A friend who has no fitness qualifications recommends it, without knowing what your body needs. 4) Lifting too much weight, performing exercises with poor technique or not using enough weight. Remember EVERY body is different and an individual and specific approach is required.

17.01.2022 You have 2 days to workout this year! Wednesday 6am to 6pm and or Thursday 6am to 1pm. ... Circuit class tomorrow at 9.30am with Fran. See you soon!

15.01.2022 Wishing all our members and clients the happiest Christmas Remember we are open tomorrow from 8am to 12 noon.

13.01.2022 If you haven’t exercised since prior to Christmas, Colin’s 9.30am circuit class tomorrow may be just what Santa ordered!

13.01.2022 Catching up on sleep can be difficult... so, can my body get used to sleeping less? Research shows that people can get by with 6 hours sleep each night, provided they do this gradually and to ensure they function well during the day a 30 min nap is recommended. Approximately 80% of us manage between 6 to 9 hours and the other 20% sleep more or less than that. Former British Prime Minister is said to have only slept for 4 hours most nights!

10.01.2022 Happy birthday Gabby

08.01.2022 Graham was very happy to receive his voucher as a prize winner of our Members Appreciation Month competition.

04.01.2022 How can we best learn new movement patterns? Firstly, we need to know which new ways of movement you need to learn, it may be squatting, reaching overhead, lifting something from the floor, picking up a young child or re-learning how to walk with a good gait. Our personal trainers can identify which new way of moving will give you the best ‘bang for your buck’ and then go about helping you re-learn the movement and engage and activate the appropriate muscles.

02.01.2022 Congratulations Shana & Nathan.

01.01.2022 We hope you all had a fabulous Christmas. If you missed your exercise this morning . . . Sunday 8am to 12 noon... Monday 8am to 12 noon and a great Circuit class with Colin at 9.30am

01.01.2022 The third of this week’s functional exercises is the barbell deadlift. Here is how to get started. Approach the bar so that it is centered over your feet. Your feet should be about hip width apart. Bend at the hip to grip the bar at shoulder-width. Allow yourself to ‘fold’ into the starting position. Lift through the chest, pull the arms straight and tight and shoulders back.... With your feet and your grip set begin pushing through the heels to move the weight upward, keeping the bar close the shins. After the bar passes the knees pull the bar back and shoulder blades together as you drive your hips forward into the bar. Lower the bar by bending at the hips and guiding it to the floor. If you would like to now more, please ask us.
