24.01.2022 Say hi to Fitness Trainer Tyson! Tyson is currently studying a Master of Teaching in Health and Physical Education, with a minor in Humanities and Social Sciences. Outside the gym, Tyson says that basketball and skateboarding have been a part of his life for as long as he can remember, and he also surfs when he gets the chance.... He says that it’s important to enjoy your training. At the end of the day only you can be responsible for your personal fitness goals. If you like what you are doing, chances are you will want to train more! It is unique for each person, but it may be a matter of including/ removing certain exercises, training alone or with friends; it could even be something as simple as time or music choice. Tyson says the best part about working at UWA Sport is the people. Whether it be a fitness class, fellow staff or members coming to train, it is a friendly environment and great to work in. Next time you’re on the gym floor or around campus, say hi to Tyson! For more information about the UWA Fitness Centre, visit bit.ly/uwafitness

21.01.2022 Meet Steph, one of our group fitness instructors. Steph has been teaching BodyAttack at UWA Sport for 2.5 years, and says that it’s a great calorie burner and cardio kicker. In one single class you can potentially burn up to 700 calories! she says. BodyAttack can also improve your coordination and agility plus increase your lung capacity and heart health. ... When not teaching you will find her at the beach, reading a good book or exploring and hiking one of Perth's many hidden gems. Steph’s BodyAttack class is high-energy interval training that combines athletic aerobic movements with strength and stabilisation exercises. If it’s your first time taking BodyAttack, Steph recommends taking your regressions and not going too hard too quick; the most important thing is to have fun. For more about Steph’s BodyAttack and over 40 other classes at the UWA Fitness Centre, visit bit.ly/uwa-groupfit

18.01.2022 Meet Tamsin, our Graduate Officer Student Athlete Support! Tamsin’s role is to help student athletes at UWA balance elite sport, study and life through delivering the student athlete development program. She says that working in the world of performance sport is exciting and every day is different: whether that be with Team UWA at Uni Nationals or a student athlete competing on the world stage. ... When not supporting students or studying, Tamsin does her own training at the pool, and also enjoys catching up with friends or reading/watching movies. Tamsin says she enjoys helping students in an impactful way, and that her favourite part of the role is seeing student athletes succeed. Hearing from student athletes that the program has helped them in some way, shape or form, and whenever one our student athletes achieves a big goal in study or sport is fantastic. Also having the opportunity to work in an environment is very welcoming, supportive and fun. UWA Sport is currently on the lookout for new graduate officers, including the next member of the performance team. Want to find out more? Head to bit.ly/39iHhLj
