One on one training is all about focussing on you and your goals. The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Individualised programming and training will strip out the thing you don’t need so that you can concentrate on the things that will yield the best results.

Sometimes it helps to look in the rear view mirror to remind ourselves about where we started. The year isn’t over. We still have a little bit further to push. Looking back … and seeing all the gains will help us run through the finish line and keep going.

Attendance at morning sessions tends to nosedive in tune with the plummeting temperature gauge during winter. Don’t succumb to the comfort of the comforter! Get up and get at it! After all, we’re used to intentionally making ourselves uncomfortable in CrossFit right?

As a coach I have lots of discussions about mind-set and the mental game with clients. Motivation is hard to maintain at the moment for lots of people in isolation. We all know that good nutrition and lots of exercise is crucial to maintain at the moment. But it’s still hard to find the will to workout sometimes. So I decided to share some knowledge acquired from my martial arts background. I don’t get to do much martial arts training these days but the lessons learnt in the dojo are more relevant now than ever.

Gyms in the U.S. are opening. In some states at least. What does that mean for us here in Australia. Maybe we should be ready for anything? If you’ve let your fitness regimen slip maybe it’s time to reboot and get ready to get back to the grind?

5 reasons you need to care about your fitness and mental health when spending all your time at home. Take control wherever you can. That includes looking after your long term health as preparation for the day when we’ll all be able to put this time of crisis a long way behind us.

Coaching CrossFit is a privelege. Often seeing people during the best hour they’re going to have that day. For some, their workout is the best hour they’ll have that week. Coaching online or in-person, Any difference. You might surprised by my answer.

Kettlebells are a ‘go to’ item for me when looking for a workout solution in a hurry. They’re also the perfect antidote to the sedentism pandemic coming our way, as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. Here’s a little explainer about why I think they’re so aweseome! Especially when you can’t go to the gym or you can’t go out full stop! Push-ups, sit-ups, air-squats etc get pretty boring after you’ve been doing the same workout for 3 days straight!

We’ve stepped into another dimension. We don’t really know what lies ahead. But we know what we can control. Enforced closures are another challenge to our business. But what we do is based on our fondness of facing up to challenges every day. Don’t you think?

How do you keep people moving in times like the present? It’s ironic that gyms are being closed as part of a strategy designed to keep people healthy! Keeping people healthy is our business.
