Success story of the year this guy!

Jackson has been training with us for a bit over a year now and boy oh boy has he been annihilating this weight loss journey.

He has dropped 30kg.

Gone from a 9XL shirt to a 2XL shirt, confidence has soared, energy has exploded, learnt a lot about his body and fueling it correctly and has found a community he enjoys being around, just look how much happier this guy looks!

None of this occurred without barriers. Jackson a couple years ago sadly lost his mum to cancer, and then lost his father to cancer a few months ago. As expected during this, perfect training really wasnt the top priority, I highlighted this with him. Sometimes bad things happen and dealing with that is more important than optimising your training. It wasnt the best training but he remained consistent with his attendance and got through it.

This guy should be so proud of himself with what he has achieved especially while dealing with all that hardship. Please show him some love. Well done mate!!!! Keep smashing it.

Falls. They’re not fun.

But what happens when you fall and you can’t get back up?

I’ve heard so many stories of people waking in the middle of the night, calling out to their partner for help. I’ve even had a client come on board after experiencing a fall. Rather than wake his sleeping wife, he chose to stay on the bathroom floor for six hours, waiting until the sun came up and she woke.

That’s heartbreaking to hear.

And it’s exactly why maintaining strength, mobility and independence is such a high priority for my older clients.

It’s not just about being able to exercise or move better. It’s about having the strength and confidence to get yourself up, stay safe, and maintain your independence for as long as possible.

Because that independence doesn’t just give them peace of mind — it gives their families peace of mind too.

A part of every good story unfortunately has an end.

For the last 6 years I have had the pleasure of coaching Daniel. He has taught me a lot over the years with his condition and it has definitely made me a better EP. He's an absolute character in the gym and always put his efforts in, he loved hearing about all my pets and we often spoke about food, especially burgers 🤣.

The amount of gratitude I have for Daniel and his mum Lela for trusting me from the beginning, then continuing to support me when I started my own business 3 years ago. I cannot thank them enough.

I'm gonna really miss this guy, and I wish him and his family safe travels in starting a new chapter down south.

Thanks for the good times mate!

I wanted to say some worda about training and pain.

I always encourage early movement and in chronic pain, let's not wait to be completely pain free before we begin as this period can take months or even years.

We aim to shift from a training IN pain to a training WITH pain mindset.

Its all about the intensity, not just the exercise. We assess, modify and implement a plan that works for you at this exact moment, and plan to build up from there as exercise intensity becomes more tolerable.

Just because something hurts more doesnt mean its doing more damage.

Analogy for the week:

You get sunburnt, come home and have a hot shower. It stings, but your skin isn't falling off or getting more damaged. So do you avoid a shower for a couple days? Or do you turn the hot water down a bit and as it starts to tolerate more you increase the hot water again?

Exercise intensity is the hot water. We dial it down so its not so sensitive and uncomfortable, then we appropriately increase it as it becomes more tolerable.

Have a great day all, and remember if you or someone you know need some help with this. Shout out.

Australia is a big country, and for those living in remote, rural and regional areas, access to immediate care isn’t a guarantee.

This October, I’m taking on a month-long fitness challenge to help more people access the care they need. By going further, I hope to raise as much as possible for the Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS).

Every year, the RFDS reach more than 330,000 Australians with 24-hour emergency retrieval and primary healthcare services. That’s one person every two minutes!

Together, we can keep the Flying Doctor flying and continue their life-saving work. Please donate to my challenge today!

Much love.

What is all this jargon?

A client of ours had undergone a total knee replacement. We were able to do strength testing early on in the rehab, and a test performed today, using the VALD equipment.

This client is 77 years old and has had a moderate level of strength and fitness prior to the surgery, but prior to coming to see us, the pain was too great to adequately challenge the tissues.

Interestingly, even from the get-go, the surgical limb was stronger and has kept getting stronger. Anyone who has any fears regarding their knee replacement should see these results very positively and boost your confidence that you're NOT frail or weak.

Very excited to see the discrepancy between limbs get reduced over the next month or 2.

Are you scratching your head on ideas for your home schooled child when it comes to physical activity?

Discover the amazing advantages of a weekly 1 hour gym-based PE class for a maximum of 6 students with a supervised Accredited Exercise Physiologist.

Why choose a gym-based exercise class?

Exposing young children to structured exercise helps to build confidence, independence, and goal setting, improve cardiovascular fitness, and improve muscular strength, which gives them the best start when entering adulthood.

Science is clear that exercise helps with emotional regulation, social interactions, confidence, and cognition.

Through structured sessions, your child will learn to understand the importance of physical activity, how the body works, the muscles used, and helps to put into a practical experience of any theory learnt.

I am happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have about this program, so please don't hesitate to reach out if this has sparked your interest.

Huge thank you to everyone who attended the Bonafit Performance 1 year celebration today. It was a great day to socialise outside of the gym environment and enjoy a few drinks and food together.

I am beyond grateful for all your support. Cheers to continue making big things happen! 🍻
