25.01.2022 "Drop in and help us reach our goal of $10,000+ for the ACT Downs Syndrome Association. Buy socks flowers and donuts and enjoy a cuppa with our sponsors" THIS THURSDAY - 10am at Fisher Square!

25.01.2022 Even more so when working with a PT apparently: "What these results suggest, Meyer said, is that being coached and supervised leads to different effects on our bodies and minds than working at our own pace, whatever that pace might be"

24.01.2022 Get into Fisher Family Practice with your donations!

23.01.2022 A story about my family's mission to get Dad back on a fishing boat after his spinal cord injury. My brother Andrew fitted out a boat with modifications to make it accessible. I train Dad twice a week to build strength to haul in the big ones!

23.01.2022 New treadmill at WCF! #westoncreekpersonaltrainer #westoncreek

21.01.2022 There's been lots of new clients starting up at WCF in the past few weeks, I'm really enjoying seeing so many people begin improving their fitness and wellbeing. I love that I'm able to help them on their way & can't wait to watch them all progress on their steady path to better health!

21.01.2022 One session as a couple & look at them go!

20.01.2022 Ok, so who's going to give this record a crack at WCF this week? ;)

19.01.2022 Wise words from my Bega PT buddy!

19.01.2022 I have just finished my first online session with my father (Lud) who is a quadriplegic. Dad was my first client when I opened the studio & has been doing two sessions per week since. He needs a little assistance working out, which my Mum (Margaret) gave him today as I can't be there of course. Mum even joined in on the session which made it a lot of fun! Also, how good does my Mum look at the ripe old age of errrr, 52?!

18.01.2022 ONLINE PERSONAL TRAINING We're moving with the times! Outdoor PT is still available, but for those self isolating or in high risk categories - Online PT is a great option!... I design programs using the equipment you have at home, even if it's no equipment! We connect online via Skype or Zoom & I guide you through the session as I would if we were in the studio. The big gyms are closed & sports are cancelled. Online PT is a great way to stay active at home. I've been working with some clients this way for a week now & it really works! Open to new & existing clients - please get in touch to enquire.

14.01.2022 Weston Creek Fitness (/childcare) :)

14.01.2022 The family that trains together stays together! Rosi, Axel & Detlev working out well!

12.01.2022 Gym closed down? Sports cancelled? Weston Creek Fitness is now offering Outdoor 1on1 Personal Training & also Online PT via Skype/Zoom. 10% discount on first package for new clients who have lost access to their usual exercise options.

11.01.2022 Have done a few online PT sessions this week. Turns out I can hurt people even from a distance!

11.01.2022 Hi again everyone, I've put together some options for us to continue with your fitness training. I hope there's an option here that will suit you. OUTDOOR SESSIONS... I am still able to train clients outdoors. This means you do not have to miss your PT sessions, only the location and some of the equipment changes. This is how I operated before I opened in Fisher, so I'm used to designing sessions to fit. There will be extra safety precautions taken, including: No physical contact between trainer & client, as well as maintaining a 2m distance. No equipment to be shared between clients (until thoroughly cleaned). Hand sanitiser to be used often. I have some, but please bring your own if you have any I'll be wearing a face mask at all times. I encourage clients to bring workout gloves if they have them, or consider getting some. Clean pairs of the cotton boxing liner gloves will also be available. No boxing, as it is too face to face. I will investigate getting a boxing bag. Weather permitting, although I will find suitable wet weather options nearby No training if either client or trainer are unwell in any way. This is no time to push through a sniffle! This is list is by no means exclusive, I will add more measures as appropriate. SKYPE/VIDEO SESSIONS If you have the capability on your end, we can do sessions via video link. This is a good option if you have to or have chosen to self isolate. If you have any equipment at home then I can design your workouts around that. SESSION PROGRAMS Another option for if you need to stay at home or (otherwise can't do outdoor sessions) is for me to write you custom workouts for you to do on your own & with your own equipment. Please let me know ASAP to talk about any of these options. Email or text is probably best for the moment as I'm very busy working out how the future is going to look. I will get back to you quickly. Obviously things are a little chaotic for everyone at the moment, but I'd like to work out solutions for you all as soon as I can. Stay safe. Kind Regards, Mal

08.01.2022 Another day, another set of rules! The good news is that 1on1 outdoor PT is still allowed. I've been running sessions on the grassy area out the back of the studio & it's working well. Unfortunately I'm now unable to train groups or pairs & I know that impacts several of my clients. Some of you have moved to online sessions & so far they have been working well. I'll keep finding new & better ways to run these. For those that can't do online, I'll work with you to develop ...ways for you to exercise on your own. Likewise, I cannot now train anyone aged 70 or over & online sessions are available to them also, as are personalised training programs. Online PT is now available as an option for new or existing clients. Please get in touch to enquire. There's a lot of people out there that have lost access to their gyms, sports & other means of exercise. I'm already receiving enquiries from some of them, particularly from friends & family of existing clients. So thank you so much to those of you recommending me to them! Please stay safe everyone & look out for each other. Mal

08.01.2022 No filter... Sunset over our little shop. Captured just at the right moment. Whilst a beautiful coloured sky, it's hard to comprehend the devastating fires aro...und us. Let's stick together Canberra and support all the people in need as well as the brave RFS, volunteers, army emergency services and all other personal working hard to keep us safe. #canberralife #holidayherecbr #thankyoufirefighters #canberrabusiness #supportyourlocalbusiness See more

05.01.2022 Not quite as dramatic as the last pic of Ben (lying on the bonnet), but still looking just a little tired. :) #westoncreekpersonaltrainer #westoncreekfitness #westoncreek

03.01.2022 This is what I get up to when no one else is allowed in the studio. Saw a fit girl doing doing this on the net, couldn't resist giving it a go!

03.01.2022 National Pain week is coming up on the 22nd July I treat people experiencing pain everyday, and each individual is different. Many don't feel that their ex...periences are well understood, so I wanted to shed some light on the subject. Chronic pain is Australia's 3rd most costly health condition after cardiovascular disease and musculoskeletal conditions . It is still unfortunately poorly understood, by health professionals, by those suffering from it and by the public. Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience, unique to every individual, associated with actual or potential tissue damage. (Definition by the International Association for the Study of Pain) David Butler (a pain science guru here in Australia) explains pain very well. "Pain is a complex behavioural experience, not simply a symptom. Just like anger does not manifest from our fist, like love does not manifest from our heart; pain does not manifest simply from our tissues". Chronic pain is likely due to an individual facing prolonged exposure to physical or non-physical stressors (or potential threats). This triggers various biological systems to deal with the stressors/threats. Although our tissues play a role in the pain experience, it is likely that persistent pain is due to a multisystem issue, not simply a tissue issue. Just like love comes from all the thoughts, emotions, encounters, feelings, physical and non-physical exposures, pain is the same way. Please take a moment to think about this and share this post if you know someone living with chronic pain.

03.01.2022 To all my valued clients: Due to the current crisis - As of now, Weston Creek Fitness is closed for the foreseeable future as per Government instruction. All sessions are cancelled. I may be able to still run outdoor sessions if all necessary precautions are taken. I'll let you all know about this when it's clarified. ... I'm thinking about ways I can still help you with your fitness - things like giving you programs to do at home & perhaps Skype sessions. I'll be in touch with all my clients individually to talk about this. Please everyone stay safe, best wishes to you & your families through these difficult times. Mal

03.01.2022 Gym floor space has been extended. More room to play, particularly for groups! #westoncreekfitness #westoncreekpersonaltrainer

02.01.2022 Great to see the local community out in force to support World Down Syndrome Day @ The Fisher Shops.
