Your joints aren’t stiff because you’re getting older.

Chronic stress keeps your body braced, and your joints are just the first place you feel it.

Swipe to see what’s actually going on, and the small daily habits that switch it off.

If you’re local to Midland or the Perth Hills and want coaching that looks at the whole picture, not just your reps, DM us “COACH” and let’s get you started. We’re five minutes from Midland Gate, open 24/7.

A little sneak peek from the SMA 2027 Dog Calendar shoot 🐾

These are straight off the camera, unedited and a bit chaotic, which honestly felt right. Plenty of good dogs took over the gym floor for the day (and their humans were very patient).

Every calendar raises money for Parkerville Children's & Youth Care. If you'd like one, let us know now. The more we order, the cheaper they'll be for everyone.

Ten years ago we opened our doors in Midland. Since then, so many of you have trained with us, shown up for each other, and made SMA what it is.

So we’re celebrating together. Bingo & trivia night is back at the Stirling Arms on Saturday 24 October, starting at 6pm. If you came last time, you’ll know the MC. This time we’ve got a bigger room, more seats and even better catering.

It’s also the start of our yearly fundraiser for Parkerville Children and Youth Care. We’ll be running a hamper raffle on the night, and every ticket helps.

Last time tickets sold out quickly, so if you’re planning to come, get yours early. Link below 🎟️

The SMA Olympics are back 🏅

Saturday 24 October, 9am–2pm at SMA. Free entry, and members and guests are both welcome.

Pick the tests you want to try across strength, bodyweight and cardio. Then stay for a 1pm seminar with 4× True Grit WA Champion Sam Shepherd.

A PB is just your best on the day. That might be a heavier deadlift, your first full dead hang, or a faster 1km row. It all counts.

If you're local to Midland or the Perth Hills and you've been curious about functional training, this is a relaxed way to see what SMA is like. Come for a test, stay for the seminar, and meet the community.

SMA is turning 10 🎉

We're celebrating on Saturday 24 October at the Stirling Arms Hotel, Guildford, from 6pm.

Bingo, trivia, the first-ever SMA Awards, and a charity raffle for Parkerville Children and Youth Care.

It's not just for members. Bring your partner, your friends, your training crew. Whether you've been here 10 years or 10 days, we'd love to have you there.

Our last trivia night sold out quickly, and this one is capped at 100, so it's worth sorting your table early.

October timetable is here, running Monday 5 October to Saturday 1 November.

The best training time is the one you can actually keep showing up to, so there are early, mid-morning and afternoon classes across the week.

Strength & Motion runs Monday and Wednesday, morning and afternoon. It's our foundation class, and a good one to pair with Mobility through the week.

New to training, or haven't been in a gym for a while? You don't need to work it all out yourself. Our Midland coaches will help you pick a few sessions that suit your week and where you're starting from.

Swipe through for the full timetable, save it for later, and send us a message if you'd like a hand building your week 👊

Heads up, crew ⚡

The gym will be closed this Sunday 4 October from 10am to 5pm. Western Power are doing service works on our street, so the power's off and so are we.

We're open as normal outside those hours. Sorry for the hassle, see you on the other side 💪

Shirley went to Bali halfway through her 28 Day Challenge. Cocktails, holiday food, barely any gym time. So how did her fat mass keep dropping the whole way through?

She thinks the trip might have actually helped.

119.8kg down to 113.4kg, with 4.2kg of that fat. And the part she's proudest of has nothing to do with dieting.

Full story in the video (Bali included)

Next Midland 28 Day Challenge is coming up, details here:

It took Craig 5 months to get these results the first time. This time? 28 days.

He’s 57 with a full-time job, family and kids, still made it happen.
