Friday Feature β Our Ultimate KEN DO! π
Forget Ken... our Don Ken Do! πͺ
At 86 years young, Don is proving that age really is just a number. He can hold an elevated plank, nail a perfect lunge, and tackle every workout with determination, a smile and absolutely no excuses.

Standing Pilates... completed. β
Revenge on the instructor... activated. ππ
Apparently 45 minutes of balance, core work and burning glutes deserves a small ball ambush at the end of class!
18 amazing ladies, a room full of laughs and just enough Pilates balls flying through the air to keep me on my toes.
If you didn't know we offer Standing Pilates at Studio Tribe, The Gap... now you do! π
7am Thursday morning.

Beauty tip of the day... Exercise
Look at these two beauties holding a plank!
Forget spending hundreds on anti-ageing creams.
Come and exercise!
It won't just make you look younger... it'll help you move better, feel stronger and put a smile on your face.
Great effort Patty and Kitty.
P.S. I'm definitely cheaper than LancΓ΄me!

Well... that's it. ππΎ
Margie's birthday celebrations are officially over.
No more cake.
No more excuses.
No more "I'll start on Monday."
See you back in the studio... or don't make me bring Boot Camp back!

One supplement I wish more people over 50 knew about... Creatine.
Before you scroll past...
Don't believe me.
π Google it.
π Read the science.
π Ask your doctor.
It's one of the most researched supplements in the world and may help support muscle strength, recovery and even brain health as we age.
I take it every single day, and I wouldn't be without it.

When an Olympian wears your shirt... you don't ask questions... you just brag about it! ππ₯
This is my beautiful friend Denise.
She just happens to be an Olympian (check out those Olympic rings on her ankle π), and today she was flying the Evil Barbee flag in Townsville.
I think it's safe to say we're officially Olympic approved! π
P.S never argue over the bill with a Taekwondo Olympic medallist!

Sometimes the universe gives you a shove... whether you asked for one or not! π
Leaving Ferny Grove wasn't in the plan, and if I'm honest, I was devastated.
But looking around these days...(7 months later)
Turns out our "Plan B" became our best move yet.
Here's to lifting weights, lifting spirits, in a brighter,bigger space! π
Thank you Studio Tribe.
Novelist Paulo Coelho on resilience:
"I ask myself: are defeats necessary?
Well, necessary or not, they happen. When we first begin fighting for a dream, we have no experience and make mistakes. The secret of life, though, is to fall seven times and to get up eight times."

Always learning. Always growing. Always looking for new ways to keep you moving. π
Today I surprised the Pink Ladies with a trial Seated Pilates class.
Thank you for always trusting me enough to try something new.
Should Seated Pilates become part of the Evil Barbee timetable? πͺ
