DAY 4 report
This photo doesn't tell the full story of the rain the riders experienced yesterday over their longest day - 129km!
Dale Beaumont tells us that within about 20 minutes they were completely soaked, but after lunch the weather went to the next level, For about an hour, they rode through absolutely relentless rain.
At times there was flash flooding across the roads, with water reaching up around their knees as they rode through it. There wasn’t a square inch of any of them wasn’t completely soaked.
He says "There was one section where the road had basically turned into a river, and suddenly everyone was laughing and smiling like kids riding their bikes through puddles again."
Martin tells me that for the last hour the sun came out - beating down and drying them out but leaving them "crisped" 😂 Thanks to Finn and Hands Across the Water for the photo

Lets rearrange OG's gym floor...

Today was one of those days where all hands were on deck — Tim, Lauren, Karen, Sam, Isla and Sam’s husband Dan all jumped in to help give the gym floor a bit of a shake-up.

We’ve flipped the layout, brought the dumbbells and benches into the centre, moved some of the big leg machines and opened up the space in a whole new way.

And let us tell you… Moving gym equipment is NOT for the faint-hearted 😂💪🏼

It’s not quite finished yet, but we’re pretty happy with the start!

There’s still plenty more to come, including some changes to our pin-loaded machines and functional training equipment.

So… what do you think so far?

We’d love to hear what you think!

And we can't wait to show you what's next 😉

🇹🇭 TODAY’S THE DAY, MARTIN! 🚴‍♂️💙

Today, Martin heads off to Thailand to take on his 500km charity ride for Hands Across the Water — and we couldn’t be more excited to cheer him on!

It’s hard to believe it’s already been two weeks since we held our huge charity ride at OG. The support from our members and our local community was absolutely incredible, and we are so proud to have played a small part in helping Martin smash through his fundraising target!

Martin, we’re with you every kilometre of the way. Wishing you the absolute best for your final charity ride. We can’t wait to follow along, see the updates and cheer you on from back home!

And a huge good luck to Dean and Joanna from Little Beach Boathouse as they take on their own challenge too.

What an incredible group of people coming together to make a difference.

GOOD LUCK, MARTIN! GO SMASH IT! 🚴‍♂️🇹🇭

Thursday 10 September is R U OK? Day, and we’re turning Our Gym Nelson Bay yellow! 💛

We’re using the morning to raise awareness around mental health, check in with the people around us, and most importantly, remind each other that you don’t have to go through things alone.

Here’s what you can expect:
💛 Come and train in yellow!
☕ Community breakfast & morning tea hosted by Lauren & Karen
💬 Activities and ways for our members to connect and get involved
💛 Lots of community, conversation and a few yellow surprises!

Mental health is something that is incredibly important to us at Our Gym. Lauren is a passionate advocate for creating spaces where people feel seen, supported and connected — and we’re lucky to have such an incredible community of people who look out for one another.

So save the date, wear your brightest yellow and come spend the morning with us.

Let’s train together, have a coffee, have a chat and maybe help someone feel a little less alone.

Thursday 10 September.
Our Gym Nelson Bay.
Let’s ask the question: R U OK? 💛

STRONGER FITTER HEALTHIER TOGETHER 💪🏼
