See Change PT

Spring is well and truly springing, 🌸🤧 so this month we are featuring someone who really brings the brightness to our See Change community - Olivia Clark-Moffatt! 🤩

Liv has been a member for…well…she only knows it’s since her twin boys - who are now well and truly twin men! - were young lads. 👯‍♂️

In that time, she has gone through the ups and downs we all face in life and in fitness, but she credits the community that Maree and Mark have built at See Change, and the people they have gathered around them, as a driving force for her showing up for over 15 years! 👏🏻

It’s no wonder her class-of-the-week is Ainslie’s packed out, pumping Get Strong 💪 at 8am on Sundays, complete with a post-workout coffee ☕ with the many friends she has made over the years. She loves to lean into a challenge, and the healthy ache in the muscles the next day, all while feeling supported and safe from injury. ❤

Liv is also a very welcome and smiling fixture at team events, like Stadium Stomp, 👣 Foamfest and various hikes, 🌲 and she’s always up for an evening out with the See Change theatre lovers too. 🎭

Liv tells us, “See Change is a warm, friendly place that’s all encouragement and no judgement. You can be yourself and that person is welcomed.” Couldn’t have said it better myself, which is why I didn’t change a word!

We’ll be checking in again later in September, to see what this busy, buzzy lady 🤗 has been getting up to, at See Change and in life. We know you’ll love seeing her big smile again then, as much as we do every week.

In the meantime, if Liv has convinced you it’s time to find a new fitness community to call home, check out See Change at seechangept.com or drop in and see us at 432 Heidelberg Road, Fairfield. 👀

Guess who is back in town? Who else gets a workout that includes a “chatting circle”?? It’s been a year since we’ve had Alice in the building. We look forward to welcoming her to our new building.

We’ve been back at Fairfield Cricket Club at the crack of dawn this week, 🌅 to catch up with our member of the month, Luke Brown, and the boot camp crew. 👣

What a way to see the season changing, with the sun now fully up by the end of the session. Bliss! 😎

And Luke agrees. He’s a big fan of Melbourne’s seasons, 🌸 and there is no better way to experience them than by attending outdoor classes at 6.30 in the morning.

It’s also given him a greater appreciation for Melbourne’s warmer months. With these firmly on the horizon, we hope Luke can achieve his goal of arriving on time more often than not. ⌚ I’m sure Jess and Maree will be happy to hear that too.

Life has done its thing over the last few weeks, and Luke has experienced higher levels of stress, along with a back injury that has temporarily changed his exercise program. ❤️‍🩹 He is focusing on active recovery to rehab his injury and deal with the extra stress, building back up with lighter weights and modifications. This approach is 100% See Change approved! ✅

He’s loved being able to get back to Wednesday lunchtime classes in the gym as well, where he can offset the comforts of a more controlled climate with the 🤔 ‘what’s-she-going-to-think-of-next?’ delights of a trademark Ainslie strength session!

As an indoor gym girlie, I’ve really enjoyed seeing our incredibly dedicated boot campers in action this August. Maybe I’ll even join them one day 🫣…but for now we salute Luke and the crew and celebrate them for adding another fantastic dimension to the See Change community. Keep on getting up, getting out and getting fit, you lot. We love to see it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

If you’re looking for a local fitness community that grows together in all seasons, check out See Change at 432 Heidelberg Rd Fairfield, or visit us at seechangept.com to find out more.

New class starting the Friday - Get Strong and TRXed. Join Ainslie for her beloved TRX mixed with barbells and weights. You’ll feel strong to the core after this session! Ainslie Hodgkinson

Retiring our spin bikes to make way for new ones. The big change over happens this weekend and can be collected from Friday 11am. Make an offer on a spin bike or a few. Most have working screens. The ones without working screens have a bigger discount. Local delivery can be organised on Sunday. $150 for our See Chnagers.

We’re a little late celebrating our member of the month for August, partly because of when this awesome lot trains - but it’s definitely worth the wait! 🥳

Introducing Luke Brown, and the Brown Bears! A rock star band name if ever I heard one. 🤘

Luke joined See Change with his friend and training buddy Laurence in 2020, as a way to bounce out of lockdown and into shape. The duo become founding members of the Monday and Friday morning group affectionately known as Brown Bears, alongside Nick and Simon - the original bootcampers since 2011! 👏👏

Training with Maree on Mondays, and Jess on Fridays, Luke tells us there’s almost nothing that can make him miss a session. Rain, hail, freezing temps and black Melbourne mornings 🌡❄️ - they all fade into the background when he’s working hard with his mates. His wife Lisa even joined in the last year, to make it a family affair.

The 7am coffee ☕ after the 6am session on Fridays is an extra motivation - not to mention the ‘challenge’ of making Jess giggle 🤣 with every huff, puff, groan and grimace.

Luke is a very active guy! He loves playing cricket 🏏 and kicking the footy, as well as skiing ⛷ and hiking. To show up the young guys, minimise injury risks and perform his best, his See Change sessions help keep him strong, limber, and physically and mentally fit.

Getting out to visit Luke and the Brown Bears was a real pleasure - even though it was in the pitch black of a Melbourne winter morning. 🌚 I’ll be back to snap a few action pics before the end of the month, cold weather or no!

Whether you love a chilly outdoor start, or a more temperate approach to fitness, See Change is a place where you can set and achieve your own goals, ✅ with a bunch of supportive friends and (sometimes giggly) trainers to cheer you on. 📣

If this sounds like your kind of place, and the Bootcamping Brown Bears your kind of people, check us out at seechangept.com, visit us at 432 Heidelberg Rd Fairfield, or give Maree a call on 0417 768 721.

We’re ‘Luke-ing’ forward to hearing from you! Yes I went there, and I have no regrets. 😆
