23.01.2022 TIME TO GET GYMS BACK TO NORMAL TRADING!! Yesterday we witnessed this on NSW beaches, whilst our team sat inside as COVID Marshalls in our 450sqm gym that has no more than 20 people in it even at peak times. It is extremely unfair that we have been targeted as a risky business when there is no evidence to back that up: Gyms are cleaner than any other public space, and our members and staff are doing an amazing job at keeping it that way. And all of this when we have had 10 d...ays straight of no community transmission in NSW! We have all had enough, and we need to stop this crazy rule now! We need to get back to 24/7 trading for our members, and bring our wage bill back to normal ASAP. Tomorrow the 24 Hour Gym industry are taking our fight to Brad Hazzard and NSW Health, but we need your support. If you haven't already, please scan the QR code in club and sign the petition, or click on the link here. https://www.change.org/p/brad-hazzard-allow-nsw-gyms-to-ope Thank you for your support!

A big thank you to the team (including our COVID marshalls!!!) who are doing a great job at ensuring our gym is safe & hygienic ...for all our members. An even bigger thank you to our amazing members that continue to do the right thing by: Sanitising their hands upon arrival Using a towel at all times Wiping down equipment Maintaining a 1.5m distance This doesn't mean we slack off!! Inspections can happen at any time!! It means we all continue to do our part in ensuring gyms remain safe & hygienic & we continue doing the amazing jobs we are currently doing!!!

21.01.2022 Introducing our new ATX squat block The idea behind elevating the heels when squatting is to place the ankle into plantar flexion whilst in a stable position; allowing the knees to travel further forward when squatting down. This will allow you to isolate your quads better. From there, the hips do not need to sit back as much, and a more upright torso position can be maintained. Another great reason to elevate your heels is if you have limited ankle mobility and find that y...ou aren't able to get too deep into your squats. The ankles seem so far from the hips, but are in fact, crucial to squat depth! Give it a go next time you're in club!!

14.01.2022 Training tip from our friends @plusfitness247padstow to help increase intensity during your workout

13.01.2022 The NSW Department of Health have announced new restrictions due to an increase in cases of Coronavirus across NSW. One of these restrictions is that gyms are only permitted to be open when they are staffed. This means we are currently not able to trade 24 hours a day. To minimise any inconvenience, we have extended our staffed hours until we are able to return to 24 hour trading. This means our temporary opening hours are now;... 5am to 10pm Monday Thursday 6am to 6pm Friday 6am to 5pm Saturday 10am to 2pm Sunday This takes effect as of 11.59pm Friday July 31. Doors will automatically lock until 6am Saturday August 1. Outside of normal office hours, one of our team will assume the role of a dedicated COVID Marshall. Please note they cannot process membership changes during those hours. This restriction will have a significant impact on our wage costs following what has already been a challenging 4 months for us. Please remember to be kind to our team. We are all doing the best we can to keep the gym open for you, and are understandably devestated by this decision. We appreciate your understanding at this time. Please also continue to do your part by sticking to our cleaning and hygiene protocols when you are at the gym. Thanks, Plus Fitness Marketown team.

12.01.2022 A father is neither an anchor to hold us back, nor a sail to take us there, but a guiding light whose love shows us the way. Happy Father's Day to all our amazing dads @Plus Fitness Marketown!! Hope you have a wonderful day filled with love, laughter & happiness

03.01.2022 Meet the faces of the Newcastle & Hunter Rugby Hunter Wildfires Women's team (proudly sponsored by Plus Fitness Marketown)!! Name: Steph Klimovitch Age: 30 Position: Prop... What inspired me to play: My friends who played were asking for about four years for me to play and eventually I said yeah What I focus on during training: I try to do circuits that include strength and power lifting. Most embarrassing moment on the field: It was a semi final against our biggest rivals, I busted through four tackles, running down the field toward the sticks with no one in front of me, ten metres out I had the ball tucked under my arm and then all of a sudden it was gone. Dropped my lollies in front of the biggest crowd we’ve ever had. You can catch Steph and the team training at the gym Monday nights with @__a__fit__ . If you are in town this Saturday make sure to get down and support the Newcastle & Hunter Rugby Hunter Wildfires Women's team SEMI- FINALS against Sydney University Football Club 2.
