25.01.2022 Gym buddies https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw2GrtaF50f/

24.01.2022 This one is going to take some work. Its challenging & rewarding, learning new exercises. Credit goes to functionalpatterns Exercise is more achievable to me when l just move, l dont follow strict routines as such. Learning these types of exercises takes the pain away before you know it l have worked out hard, worked up a sweat & got them endorphins (happy pills) kicking in ... Job done... See more

22.01.2022 Exciting news Regional areas have the go ahead to re open gyms from this Wednesday. 28/10/2020. With only limited space, l am offering 1+1 pt and 2-1 pts only untill we can get back to groups.... If you have been in any group class and really really want to get back into it, please let us know, so l can see what l can do . Pick a time or day that suits you. Inbox Joe to book your spot. Looking forward to getting back into it.

22.01.2022 We stay strong

21.01.2022 ROTATIONAL SIT & REACH Try this as a bodyweight movement, dumbells or as demonstrated, with a ball All great variations of an exercise that also incorporates the entire body in one motion. Hands down beats sit ups Caution dont throw the dumbells, press them instead, like you would with a shoulder press

20.01.2022 Merry Christmas and a happy New year to all. It's been a tough year. Thanks all for your support, we didn't have a great run but we did what we could considering.... Looking forward to a bright, new start 2021. Stay safe. I will have info on group classes making a come back shortly in the new year. Boxing. Group training. Functional patterns style training we will hit it big. Let me know if you want in as classes will be limited due to current restrictions New and existing clients are welcome. Make a new start. PT 2-1 and 1-1 sessions are available, we have been running these through the restrictions. As per the covid recomendations. See you soon..

20.01.2022 With all this free time l have, why not share my workouts have turned into, do what l feel like on the day. Connecting the entire body in movement, not isolation. Works for me. No set times just do what l feel. functionalpatterns

18.01.2022 Are you excited that gyms are opening back up June 22nd. Cant wait to see all your friendly faces, well maybe at the start of classes anyway. Lets see who has been training or not Dont stress, lets just get back into it, no matter what level your currently at. Have fun with the journey.

17.01.2022 Happens to us all, we doubt, were scared of the unknown. Dont let fear rule you.

16.01.2022 I have this motivator, its this Excites me to move, to feel great, to learn, to create new connections, pain free exercise, pumped #functionalpatterns https://youtu.be/-MIweO9f23A

16.01.2022 All types of functional gains happening here Try these moves even without weights. Full body integration.

16.01.2022 New one.. I will be feeling it tomorrow.. Only a 10 kg . Involving more the upper arms in this one by the feel of it... Biceps + triceps. ... Core especially It's a good one.. Great for the cardio aswell.. See more

15.01.2022 GEtting It DONE... Home gym, is where l am really enjoying my training sessions at the moment. It's the place, spending the time to improve on my fitness, mental strength, to reclaim the inner beast that felt lost.... Covid is in our face, time to shut out that bullshit and get on with it. Get in, get it done. Don't let nothing stop you from becoming the person your thoughts are telling you to become. Positive mindset.. Empowering.. Bad ass attitude to achieve what you set out to achieve.. #covidsucks #healthy #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #weightlossjourney #ballaratfitness #ballaratfitness #ballaratgyms #barbell #bulgarianbag #resistancetraining #resistancebands #functionaltraining

13.01.2022 Rest in peace My trusty resistance band has failed me. Has held up for about 4 years, has done lots of work, l did like the feel. In the market for something new.

11.01.2022 2 variations of a Hip hinge, primarily working the glutes (butt muscles) Left view (kettlebell swings)... Right view (Dumbell pendulum swings) In my opinion dumbells do feel smoother, body in better position, shoulders dont internally rotate as with kettlebells, less shoulder irritation l find. Dumbells challenges more of the body, as you need to challenge stability aswell. Try for yourself.

11.01.2022 Got A New bag. Aqua ball. Filled up with water. Just like hitting real bodies... It is pretty cool to hit. Hook punches Uppercuts work well. Will make use of this in our Boxing, kickboxing classes aswell. Back to it, more bag work to practice

11.01.2022 Have you got a foam roller If you haven't, do yourself a favour and purchase one. The overall benifits has to be tried to be believed. Release muscle tension. Reduce aches and pains.... Great for pre and post workouts, (warm ups and cool downs) Reduce DOMS ( delayed onset muscle soreness, from hours to days after strenuous activity) Increase blood flow. Reduce injuries. Great for those that don't even exercise, but would like to reduce pain and discomfort in muscles. relaxing, helps in sleeping well. Alternative to some stretching routines. The list of benifits go on. Foam rolling is a great starting point to release & relax muscle tension, helping fix muscle imbalances, Its been a game changer for pain free movement, or at least decrease in pain It has made me aware of how my body was feeling, why l was sore, or muscles were tight, affecting especially my lower back in my case. I now can work out the muscle tensions before they become painful, restricting movement or even out of action.. "NO ONE WANTS TO BE OUT OF ACTION" Life is to short, why miss out on doing the things we love doing right ? Foam rolling in my opinion is the entry level to releasing muscle tension. It's easy to learn, has a larger surface area to work with. We then can utilise other tools, such as tennis balls, lacrosse balls, mini basketballs, PVC pipe, theracane etc. We then get into the real Myofascial release technique If you would like to know more, hit me up..

04.01.2022 Top exercise Bosu skaters Below dumbell alternating pendulum squat. Skaters work the glutes quite hard, definitely in my clients top 5 for overall development. Its a challenging 1.. Hip hinging and thoracic rotation leads to increased glute activation. Skaters can also be done without the bosu, body weight movement at its best, no equipment needed.... Pendulum squats another great hip hinge & Rotational movement, working your lower and upper body all in 1. Including core. (Abs) Give them a try. See more
