25.01.2022 WOWZA! What a month! The Firm has been back at it for a month now, and we sure have been busy! We cannot thank you all enough for your help throughout this transition to "COVID normal". The diligence to cleaning by you all has got me seriously considering moving the gym in to our home!!... Those of you who went the extra mile (you know who you are) to assist with opening hours, THANK YOU. Keep training hard. The beach is calling as summer rolls in. Rob & Katy P.S. I'm wearing our new colour t-shirt...charcoal! Available now

24.01.2022 Theyre here! Cosy up, get in quick!

24.01.2022 Yes! I'll train you outdoors! I've had a handful of enquiries regarding PT outdoors. OUTDOOR PERSONAL TRAINING NOW AVAILABLE. 0416555716.

24.01.2022 To those who have been asking, here ya go. We are posting this in the spirit of learning about the actual research, which we trust Chris Kresser to do a fair job discussing. So tune in! We will be

24.01.2022 Summer is nearly done and dusted! How are your 2020 intentions sitting? On track? Professionally speaking 2020 has treated us very well with a bunch of new Firm believers coming on board. On a personal level, its been ROUGH. The passing of my sister a month ago continues to play havoc with my plans to make 2020 a great one. In truth, she was my inspiration to enter the fitness industry! ... Within the space of one tragic day, my new year resolutions changed very quickly from focusing on what I DONT have, to what I DO have. What the fortunate among us have, is our HEALTH. And the opportunity to keep it. Or to redeem it. This is your life. DONT BLOW IT.

23.01.2022 Hi FIRM Believers, We have laid fairly low since Sundays announcement. In truth I think we are in a bit if shock! Throughout this whole COVID experience, I have really focused on not jumping to conclusions, or pushed too hard for answers. To just go through the motions, do whats required, and get through. A work in progress at times, but the right people in our corner has helped! So LETS NOT GET TOO EXCITED, but read on below to shed a little light at the end of the tunnel. Still seems a bloody long way off though! Whatever the tough opening restrictions are, with your help and patience we can make sure all our loyal members are back at it without any further interruption to your gym-time. Bring on October!

23.01.2022 OPENING MONDAY 22ND!! Heres the scoop: 1 Restricted to 20 patrons at one time. As a private, boutique facility we dont see this as posing a problem for us. ... Membership has its privelages at The Firm! NO BOOKINGS REQUIRED AT THIS POINT, subject to change if necessary. It might be best to wrap your workout up within the hour. Thank you. 2 No towel? Absolutely, positively NO WORKOUT. 3 Feeling unwell? Catch ya later alligator. 4 Make use of hand sanitiser at the gym and practice good hygiene like always. Change out of your grotty work clothes before you hit the gym. Your fellow members will feel more comfortable and safe. Social distancing must be observed. Be mindful of this...you cant spot each other. 5 Direct Debit payments will activate on your next due date after June 22nd. Upfront memberships will have 90 days applied to their original expiry date. Access cards will be active from 4:00am Monday 22nd. 6 NO CASUAL VISITS. Minimum term is 12 months upfront, until restrictions lift. Thank you. We are flat out this week preparing for your return. When people used to tell us we are the cleanest gym going around, I thought nothing of it. But when Rob snapped this second photo today, I thought "yep, we sure are ". And it couldnt mean more right now. We are dedicated to making you feel safe, but very much at home. WELCOME BACK FIRM BELIEVERS.

23.01.2022 So here we are one week in to Lockdown 2.0. We hope you are all keeping well, and finding a way to move your body each day. Were using the time to do a few small renos at the gym. We think its important to stay positive, and if possible, keep moving forward with our plans for 2020. Try and find a way to do the same with your training. The shut down has raised questions amongst The Firm Family as to "how can we help?". Many of you beautiful people have offered to keep... paying your gym fees. This is incredibly generous, and many gyms have welcomed the offer. And there is absolutely no judgement here. Rob and I just decided it wasnt the right move for OUR business. We are a-OK No doubt your membership (and friendships) drive our business. But you dont need to pay for a service thats not operational. The best way you can help is to be there upon our re-opening. Buy the odd drink or protein bar. Buy your protein powder at the gym rather than on line. If youre in the market for a hoodie, consider grabbing a Firm one. If youve thought about PT, shout yourself a session when you can. Maybe even tip the washing lady $2 for that towel you "borrowed" Point is, its all in the little things. All of the above offer tremendous support. We believe the 6-12 months POST shutdown is set to be the hardest on many gyms. But were ok. Were good. We have great people in our corner, and were ready. We are so grateful for your support, and cant wait to see you back.

23.01.2022 Here we go again!! GYMS OPEN November 8th!! See you soon.

22.01.2022 Hey there Firm Believers, We are all aware of the ever changing developments re COVID-19. For now, please be advised that the gym is open as usual. Stay calm, remain kind and be considerate of your fellow members.

22.01.2022 Well, we made it! The Firm is back to normal trading hours 4am-midnight. What a journey! Train on Firm Believers! Please keep following guidelines re cleaning and distancing. Most of all, have fun! Rob & Katy

21.01.2022 No gym, but we still have plenty of take away food available. Stock up before lock down!! Home delivery available

21.01.2022 One of the perks of heading up North recently was meeting the brains (and the beauty) behind our Spa Jar magnesium range. We have stocked this product for 2 years now, after being blown away by its effect on pain response. We have since come to learn of (and experience) the many other benefits of this powerful mineral. Sabines background in biochemistry has her asking all the right questions when it comes to what a magnesium supplement should contain, as well as how it... should be used, both CRITICAL factors when choosing and using your Mg supplement. Talk to us about this awesome product. Your body and your training will thank you.

21.01.2022 Hey Firm Believers Just checking in. How you all doing? We miss your faces. Tell us how youre keeping fit!... Rob & Katy See more

20.01.2022 Relax mode on point 2 years ago to the day we sat on this very bench and thought "...what now?" We had literally just received news of the old gym closing. Today, on the same bench, we celebrate over a year in The Firms new location! Look at us go! And were just getting started.

19.01.2022 COVID-19 UPDATE So if you would like information on how YOU can be back training as soon as tomorrow, you need to call Katy NOW on 0417555716.

19.01.2022 Getting in our last workout for 2019; it was great to see a number of our members doing the same Wishing all of you happy, healthy and safe New Year celebrations tonight We are so grateful for your continued support of our small business. We look forward to seeing everyone smash out their goals for 2020!

18.01.2022 Drinking on the job! COVID Marshalls reporting for duty Ok so we haven't quite depleted the stock of snacks, but an iced coffee can go a long way with these hours we're putting in! Yes...the contact hours are a shocker at the moment, but we are just so glad to be back seeing your faces again. Train on FIRM Believers. BIG welcome back!

18.01.2022 Our current take on COVID-19 Continue to support small business. Lord knows they have been hit hard enough already. Practice good hygiene in the gym, as we always encourage you to do. Dont train when youre sick. Virus or no virus, thats a no-brainer.... Eat well, dont over train, and keep that immune system roaring. Spare a thought for those throughout the world who have contracted the virus, and send out good vibes of love and healing to those suffering, or experiencing loss. Be mindful. Be accountable. Be sensible.

17.01.2022 2020. What a year. Shock, fear, heartache, frustration, loss and tears...LOTS of tears! Thank you ALL for your continued support throughout what has been a really rough, sad year. We could not have made it through, or forward, without our truly valued members. Welcome to those who have joined us since our re-opening! We are excited for the year ahead. Stay safe tonight. HAPPY NEW YEAR ... Rob & Katy See more

16.01.2022 Probably the most overused and abused word in our industry is MOTIVATION. The fact is, getting and staying in shape has very little to do with motivation. We believe it to be more a case of READINESS, STRUCTURE, ORGANISATION, CONSISTENCY, DISCIPLINE AND A GOOD DEAL OF GRUNT. With these things in place, motivation becomes irrelevant. Readiness: If you are not ready physically, mentally or emotionally to make the changes necessary to get in shape, no amount of motivation wil...l get you coming in the door on a regular basis. Find your WHY. Structure: You need to know how to go about things. By this we mean you need to know HOW to workout. Most people dont. Find a trainer/gym who knows, and cares. Organisation: As Rob often says: "You need to get your sh#t together!!!". You need to eat well and MAKE time to exercise. This means preparing whole foods, and prioritizing your workouts. Theres no way around this, so get a move on. Consistency: No truer words have been spoken than "consistency is key". Enough said. Discipline: FACT: "getting in shape is simple, but it aint easy!". Once you have the tools, only you can apply them. Some days you wont feel like it, do it anyway! Often your most dreaded workouts turn out to be great workouts! And those non-exercise related habits that are holding you back? You need to deal with them. Find the help you need. Grunt: Get comfortable with being uncomfortable. You need to challenge yourself! The human bod is strong! Be sensible, but be a little tough on yourself. This post was born out of our complete fascination with the growing complexity of our industry. There are so many options available to people by way of exercise. Yet people are more confused, demotivated and out of shape than ever. Keep it simple. And if you feel lost, talk to us. I couldnt find a particularly relevant photo, but I thought Ronnie looked super "motivated" in this shot

16.01.2022 Our hoodies and tees have arrived! Hoodies available in BLACK & NAVY, tees are in INDIGO & ARMY. Available now, and I can deliver if you are outside 5km radius. Hoodies $65 Tees $35... (I know I quoted $50 for hoodies in my last post, however the wholesale price has gone up sorry guys!). Text on 0416555716 or 0403222532. See more

16.01.2022 They broke the mould when they made our Ronnie, but we're excited to welcome "Truman" to The Firm family

15.01.2022 Ab workout #2 Remember, these workouts are designed to be quick, do-anywhere workouts. After all, ab training results come from CONSISTENCY. Try this:... 3 ROUNDS (1minute rest between rounds). No rest between exercises. 1V-Snap 20 reps TOTAL 2Single leg V-Snap 10 per side 3Toe touches 20 reps 4Walking plank 20 reps TOTAL 4Inverted V-Snap 20 reps - these can be done on a fit ball, a slippery floor wearing socks, or even the seat of the rowing machine. Or a swing, like I demonstrate in the video. Complete this 3 times during the week.

14.01.2022 READ ME. Ready to sanitise and exercise? Doors open Monday Here's the deets:... 1. As the gym must be manned at all times, trading hours are 5:30am-8pm M-F, 9am-5pm Sat & Sun. We hope this changes very soon, but for now Rob & I are "COVID Marshalls". 2. No bookings required AT THIS STAGE. We are feeling our way with this one. 3. ACCESS CARDS ARE MANDATORY. Contact tracing now makes this a requirement thanks guys. They are available for $30 if you've lost yours! 4. STRICTLY no towel, no workout. If you forget your towel, you will be required to hire one. You will be administered your own spray and rag upon entry, but you still need a towel. No exceptions. 5. No short term memberships available at this time. Joining the gym is available by appointment only. 6. Face masks are mandatory in the gym, subject to change perhaps tomorrow? 7. Showers are off limits, sorry. 8. All other restrictions will be explained upon arrival. We are very sorry for all the rules and regs. It feels awful to be enforcing all these restrictions. We are very much looking forward to seeing you all. We ask that you can work with us in getting through this challenging time. x

14.01.2022 A pre breakfast hike/run. Shhh...dont tell him its 12km!!!

13.01.2022 So most of you have seen the new machine in the gym! While we strongly advise having one of us show you the specifics of the machine, heres a quick snippet of how it works. Its a ripper! Glute training is important for everyone. Men AND women. Strong glutes promote correct pelvic alignment, propulsion during sports and single limb stance support. Strong glutes also help to support the lower back during lifting movements and even prevent knee injury. So think about it...EVERYONE should work on developing a strong behind: athletes, the elderly, bodybuilders, etc. And who doesnt like a firm set of glutes anyway?

13.01.2022 Ok, so it's GO, GO, GO until we HO, HO, HO! These photos are a good reminder to us as to what you can achieve in 3 short weeks! Let them be a reminder to you that you can get right back on track with your fitness by Christmas....AS OF MONDAAAAY! Yes, we open Monday the 9th. We are still waiting on a complete update of restrictions for our industry. For now, assume business as almost normal for The Firm (COVID-NORMAL), and check back for finer details within the next few days. Who's excited?

12.01.2022 BACK TO BUSINESS! Welcome back! We have decided to disallow short term memberships at The Firm until restrictions on numbers lift. While there is great opportunity to make a lot of money on casual memberships at the moment (as larger clubs continue to require bookings to train), we believe this practice runs the risk of becoming a disservice to our current, loyal members. We are working hard to have your workouts continue to run seamlessly! No bookings, no rushed workouts. As any small business affected by COVID-19 would know, the hardest yards lay ahead of us. Please continue to make the road ahead a little less stressful for us, by continuing to do your part in keeping The Firm clean and classy!

12.01.2022 FINAL COVID-19 UPDATE Dear Members, There has been an enormous amount of uncertainty within our industry as to what is required by law to keep our community safe during this crisis. Last nights address by the PM suggested that personal training and small group training was permitted if all hygiene precautions were met, and groups remained small. There were no specific guidelines as to whether the training must take place indoors or outdoors. ... Today, Fitness Australia has identified that training can only take place outdoors. So unfortunately, The Firm must temporarily close its doors completely. We are so dreadfully sad for our members. We know that going to the gym is an important part of many peoples routine. Rightly or wrongly, an inability to do so creates an enormous amount of anxiety for some people. This may be socially driven, physically driven, or emotionally driven. It doesnt really matter. Our opportunity to service these needs is no more. We cannot help you. And that makes us sad. To our industry peers: Stay strong. Support each other! And always, ALWAYS be kind. Remember, those trainers striving to keep a light for their clients/members may not be "searching for loop holes" or "butting the system" or "being reckless". They may just be trying to help people! At any given moment, we are all doing the best we can.

11.01.2022 So here we go again The Firm temporarily closes its doors once again! 6 weeks and counting Firm Believers. Last chance workouts tonight. We have loved having you all back, and are feeling gutted, sad and just a little bit terrified. But we have all been here before. Chins up. Weve got this! ... All direct debits have been suspended, and upfront memberships will be extended. You know how it goes. Supplement sales continue, we are restocked tonight. Call 9782 4940 anytime for a top up. Hoodies make comfy iso-wear, and theyre on sale for $50

11.01.2022 HAPPY 12th BIRTHDAY to The Firm! We may have aged 10 years between the two photos, but the gym? She looks better than ever!! They say "love what you do, and youll never work a day in your life". When you run a small business that is unequivocally a LIE! But there will be MANY days where your tenacity to continue doing what you love, astounds you! Thank you to ALL our valued members and friends who have made this a successful, fun and rewarding year.

11.01.2022 Wishing all our members a very merry Christmas! We look forward to seeing you all back putting those Christmas calories to good use!!

10.01.2022 Ok...so as most of you have witnessed, we have some fairly major roofing issues at the gym!! This wind has made things particularly bad. So please excuse the state of the gym floor today. We just cant keep up. Were aiming to get things sorted, but of course these things take time!

09.01.2022 GYMS RE-OPENING MONDAY 22ND!!! 1 week to go peeps!!! I More details soon!

09.01.2022 Take us back to this kind of "Iso"! Thinking of you all with this latest round of restrictions guys. We truly empathise with those of you who have been impacted. Whether youre out of work for 6 weeks or 6 months, it can be very daunting. ... If we can be of ANY help, please shout out. (Even if its to massage your temples while you navigate the government websites! ). We feel your pain! 0403 222 532 Rob 0417 555 716 Katy

Well, maybe the last ones not that exciting for you guys, but Im just a bit obsessed by it Thank you to our LEGENDARY builder Nathan for hunting this ripper down for us. You never fail to deliver! Hang in there FIRM believers. Now is not the time to lose your grip on staying committed to your fitness and well-being . Keep moving, keep doing. Miss your faces.

07.01.2022 STOP THINKING, START EXECUTING!! Today marks 12 weeks till Christmas!! The sun is out, the roller door is up and its a great day to be alive. Make it count .

06.01.2022 COVID-19 UPDATE Unfortunately the gym has to close at 12 noon today. We are suspending direct debit payments immediately. Supplement purchases are still available and can either be picked up by prior arrangement, or delivered. Please know that we are working on things as quickly as we can. Please also know that The Firm has faced adversity more than once before and come away better than ever. This is our biggest challenge yet, but we know we will get through. You can too. ... Our direct mobile numbers are 0403222532 (Rob) 0417555716 (Katy). Please feel free to call ANYTIME, for ANYTHING. We are still here for you. If they are not already, get your gym buddies on our Facebook page, as it is the only way we can communicate updates with everyone.

05.01.2022 Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there!!! Wasnt he a cute baby?!! (Ronnie was too ). Hopefully you get to hug your kids and fur babies today.

05.01.2022 Hi there Firm Believers Week 2 check in! How you all doing? We miss you, and hope you are safe and well.... We feel blessed to have received so many genuine calls and messages of concern since our business closed its doors two weeks ago. THANK YOU. We cant say we feel "positive", as there is nothing positive about the current situation. People are dying, families are suffering and business owners are losing everything! But we do feel OPTIMISTIC! We are strong, we are surrounded by great people, and we are in good stead to bounce back. If we can help ANYONE in ANY way, NAME IT. Rob 0403222532 Katy 0417555716

05.01.2022 Checking out how the locals do it

05.01.2022 Baby its cold outside... Question: How do I stay motivated in Winter? Answer: You wont. But do it anyway.... Its that simple. Suck it up and get out there.

03.01.2022 So, we've had a handful of people asking about ab-workouts. With so many variations of exercises, and limited time to show each person some examples, we've made the very brave decision to put some routines on here! Here's one I banged out after my run on Friday. Nothing revolutionary, just what works. This one is pretty straight forward. I'll do my best to post a weekly workout, introducing variations. Try this:... 3 ROUNDS (1minute rest between rounds). No rest between exercises. 1Bicycles 20 reps TOTAL 2Elbow to knee 10 per side 3Knee to elbow 10 per side 4Bicycle 20 reps TOTAL 3 Rounds. FEET SHOULD NOT TOUCH THE GROUND DURING A ROUND!! Complete this 3 times during the week. P.S. I'm no model, nor the Instagram-y type, so go gently on me!

03.01.2022 Merry Christmas from our family to yours

03.01.2022 Happy Sunday Firm Believers Please understand that although this is the cutest photo I have lifted off our cameras in a while, Douglas the Golden Retriever is permitted in the gym by special request. He is battling some serious health issues and I know exactly what its like to want to share every moment you can with a fur-baby who has limitted time left. So Douglas and The Firm have a special agreement . Its unfortunately not permittable to have everyone bring their doggos to the gym (although you could probably quite easily twist my arm!!). Thank you for understanding.

02.01.2022 READY TO SANITISE & EXERCISE? Doors open tomorrow June 22nd

02.01.2022 Touch-base Tuesday Hows it going there Firm Believers? Hope you are all safe and well. 3 weeks in to these crazy times with no near end in sight it seems Keep moving your bodies every day, and believe that everything will be ok. It truly will.

01.01.2022 GYMS RE-OPENING JUNE 22ND!!! Best we snap out of ice cream mode!!! We dont know full details, and YES we are intrigued with the inconsistency of the governments guidelines, but it is what it is. ... Lets focus on the good stuff. Well be seeing your faces again real soon!!! COUNT DOWN IS ON 28
