25.01.2022 TESTIMONIAL Jay has been with us for almost 3 years. He’s an integral part of our 6:30am and Saturday morning classes. A legend of The Gym you might say :) In @jay.gordon.923 testimonial he kindly mentions how much he has learned at The Gym even though he has an extensive training history. A common thread with our members is their focus on, and willingness for, continued learning no matter their age or experience Yes to that I say!...

24.01.2022 CORE SERIES - Exercise 5 Have you been told you have a weak core? Do you find it difficult to stabilise your core during dynamic movements, like skipping or whilst lifting overhead? Do you struggle with exercises like hollow holds or bar hangs? ... Then the Dead Bug is for you! The Dead Bug targets your ANTEROLATERAL CORE muscles (the front and side muscles). These muscles are very important in creating a strong base of support for your limbs to move off. This is extremely important in exercises where you need to maintain a stable core and resist rotation such as a hollow hold, pallof press or knee tucks on the bar. Muscles targeted by this exercise include the Rectus Abdominis, Internal and External Obliques, Hip Flexors (psoas major, iliacus, pectineus, rectus femoris and sartorius) and your Rotator Cuff muscles (teres minor, subscapularis, supraspinatus and infraspinatus). If you would like an at home core builder program please contact us via our website, link in bio. #thegymsydney #stleonards #crowsnest #naremburn #strength #training #gym See more

23.01.2022 MARKETING STRIKES AGAIN For us strength trainers, protein is even more important to hit and our members are often looking for ways to get it in. With many of us looking to reduce animal product consumption,... seeing the word protein plastered all over products seems to make it ‘easier’. Sometimes thats not the case. Compare the pair! Bonsoy plain Vs Vitasoy Protein Protein Content = Same Always check the nutrition label and not the pretty flashy labels that are designed to fool us !

22.01.2022 TESTIMONIAL Klara has been with us at The Gym for 2 years now. I love that her testimonial is so much about education along with consistency of training! Our goal is to educate our members so they can go safely through life moving & lifting & understanding the basics of nutrition without being reliant on anyone else. So, while Klara probably doesn’t ‘need’ us anymore because regular training has become a permanent habit & her movement patterns are solid, I’m glad she stil...l wants to hang out with us and do some more learnin! Such an awesome testimonial from Klara who is an absolute ray of sunshine in our lives :) Coach Missy #thegymsydney #stleonards #crowsnest #naremburn #strength #training #gym

22.01.2022 SCAPULA PUSH UP Do you struggle with stability and control of your shoulder blades? Do you find it challenging to set your shoulders and thoracic spine for exercises like deadlifts? ... Scapula Push Ups work the muscles that control the movement of your shoulder blades. Learning to retract and lock in your shoulder blades to create tension during exercises like Deadlifts, Kettlebell swings and even squats is imperative for efficient and safe movement. During the scap push up, we move through protraction (push the floor away) and retraction (squeeze the shoulder blades together). Muscles targeted by Scap Push Ups include: Rhomboid major and minor and trapezius (retraction) and serratus anterior and pectoralis minor (protraction).

20.01.2022 JERKS :) A few vids of some of our heavier lifts at the end of our 6 week cycle where we focused on Split or Push Jerk. Some of these friends were fairly new to the movement at the start but had it nailed by the end. ... I’d have to say this is probably my favourite lift. A highly technical skill but mostly a lot of fun. Nice lifting team @larissacrabb @the_bijlwan @ygrcourtney @globwilson @lkwraydog @jay.gordon.923 @amyelle23 #thegymsydney #stleonards #crowsnest #naremburn #strength #training #gym #olympicweightlifting See more

16.01.2022 LIFTING TEKKERS Don’t underestimate it. Back off the load & speed & learn the positions which will help you progress the load & speed more efficiently and safely later down the track. Our six week focus in the current training cycle is power cleans from the hip, above knee and below knee. Taking away complexity of lifting from the ground helps pattern positions such as hips to the bar and full triple extension. ... We only do this once per week but the way these guys lift you would think they are doing it daily. Legends! @the_bijlwan @anna.a.Martel @amyelle23 @jay.Gordon.923 @ygrcourtney @globwilson @lkwraydog @caitlin_pitt @tehgusbus @j_bidds Klara :) #thegymsydney #stleonards #crowsnest #naremburn #strength #training #gym See more

15.01.2022 PEACE AND LOVE FOR INJURIES ‘There is evidence to suggest that ice along with anti-inflammatories can slow the body's natural healing process, part of which is inflammation’ ...

15.01.2022 STRENGTH & SKILL TRAINING FOR WOMEN We are not a female only gym, we have about a 50/50 female/male membership base. As a female gym owner though, I’ve seen first hand the benefits of getting the gals lifting. This video shows some of our newer members throwing some tin around, doing things I’m sure they didn’t think they could just a few weeks ago. ... We break down each movement and build up to these technical skills slowly but once they arrive I see first hand the increase in confidence which they tell me carries through to day to day life. You only have to spend 5 mins with lovely @leahsamson for her to tell you all the things she can do at her job that she couldn’t do before. If you think you can’t / shouldn’t do this you’re wrong :) @leeoradar @xbriannacampbellx @soph_selles #thegymsydney #stleonards #crowsnest #naremburn #strength #training #gym #ipreview via @preview.app See more

14.01.2022 MINDFUL EATING If I’m chillin at home over the weekend and I’m after something fun to eat, something delicious - I say hello Affogato So many people say they live 80/20 but don’t realise they are actually living about 80/80. I’m not an advocate for obsessively tracking every speck of food for the rest of your life but if you want to keep a meal to a certain amount of cals then wacking the ingredients on the scales really isn’t a big deal and you shouldn’t let anybody j...udge you for your choice to do so. If I don’t weigh my ice cream I can easily put the entire container in my glass (and have been known to) and all of a sudden I’ve eaten more than my bodies daily requirements in one sitting. A quick check of the Nutritional label will give me a good guide as to how much an appropriate serving size is to stay in the calorie range I’m looking for. At least being just a little mindful about it rather than going all out means I can stick pretty close to my plan and still enjoy some of the things I love. But of course, if I want to go all out sometimes that’s ok too. Recipe 75g Peters Lite & Creamy in a messy glass :) 15ml Baileys (1/2 shot) 7.5g Flake (1/4 bar) 1/2 shot coffee (so few cals I don’t record) Cals 204 P 4 C 29 F 6 Winner Coach Missy #thegymsydney #stleonards #crowsnest #naremburn #strength #training #gym #nutrition See more

08.01.2022 POSITIONS FOR THE WIN! Always focus on position...over weight, speed, or volume. Everything we do at The Gym is a series of positions. If you regularly pattern each position it wouldn’t be long before you can start to add....weight, speed and volume. This is our ethos whether it be an unweighted squat, a Turkish get up or Olympic weightlifting. ... Thanks to @atginsta for posting this perfect position of triple extension. Or as I like to call it ‘hips to the bar’. It’s probably the hardest position to coach. It takes patience in waiting for the 3rd pull, speed (for often ageing hips of our general pops :) ) and some bravery in connecting with the body. Before adding weight or speed we pattern this position several times during our technical skills warm up. We don’t progress till we hit this position. Highly technical skills don’t happen overnight but with constant movement patterning and patience it will come. Position, practice - repeat! #thegymsydney #stleonards #crowsnest #naremburn #strength #training #gym #olympicweightlifting #ipreview via @preview.app See more

07.01.2022 CORE SERIES - EXERCISE 6 Do you struggle carrying heavy shopping in one hand? Do you feel weak when picking something up in a rotated position? Have you lost mobility through rotation of your spine? ... Do you rotate whilst holding a weight overhead? These activities can be improved by strengthening the Internal and External Obliques (side muscles) along with the erector spinae muscles next to your spine. These muscles work together to stop your hips or spine from dropping down while performing the Side Plank. Strong obliques are crucial for activities performed during our everyday lives such as picking up little people out of cots, or carrying tools, shopping or handbags. A weak core including your obliques will lead to poor lifting techniques which can lead to injuries both in and outside of the gym. This is the last exercise in our core series.

02.01.2022 VEGO PROTEIN OPTION Now more than ever, many of us are searching out more plant based nutrition options which can make protein intake even more challenging when it can already be difficult task. One of our members kindly pointed me to Red Tractor Protein Oats which I was surprised to find wasn’t just a misleading fancy label. ... Plain old oats have about 12g P per 100g Red Tractor have about 20g P per 100g Yes they are a little more expensive but if you don’t mind an oat and you are making a protein increase attempt this one could be a little helper. #nutrition #flexibledieting #thegymsydney #stleonards #crowsnest #naremburn #strength #training #gym #ipreview via @preview.app See more
