Little Jim App Update:
Are you an Archē or Omega, an Alpha perhaps?!
The BEST WORKOUT APP ever is coming along swimmingly.
A KEY aspect of the app is to BUILD IN sustainability and enthusiasm to keep up with your training. Gamification is an excellent strategy to enable engagement and our app will have it in droves!
The Five Tier ranking system for Weight Training is established. As you "get better" at lifting you get rewarded both with digital stash and REAL WORLD stash.
Here's a look at the first draft of the Weight Training Badges/Tags. Key Chain or worn as a necklace.
Getting to Sigma tier will be a HUGE effort! Collect them all to be a VERY special VIP lifter!

NOT More than a Gym!
** Written by a Human. It may well contain grammar and logic errors but it is unquestionably "authentic and original". Just sayin' :)
Little Jim Gym is a gym. It's well named. It's small, named in recognition of an inspirational individual (my father) and it's a gym.
We don't provide additional services or products related or unrelated.
We do "A Gym".
We specialise NOT generalise.
We do A Gym, really damn well. From top to bottom, side to side, it's all about YOUR workout experience.
We are not selling merchandise, we're not value adding, we're not stretching ourselves thin. We're NOT trying to be "all things to all people".
HOWEVER, we do "a gym" VERY differently.
Whatever you're previous or current gym experience, well then it holds very little in common with Little Jim.
So we JUST do a gym but what a gym!
** We do not sell merchandise, nutritional products, coffee (it's free). We do not partner with nail, hair, massage, counselling (free again :P), physio, travel packages, real estate services or performance enhancing "supplements" (ask Ol' mate at your chain gym)

DARK JIM JUNE
Spectacular things happen in the dark but they are rarely witnessed.
Our Jimmies are an example. They train and chase down their goals without fuss or notice.
They don't rely on external validation, their success is personal, they do the work and transformation happens never by accident but by gradual, relentless progression.
It's slow and sometimes tedious but the rewards that accumulate over months and years are enormously satisfying.
Little Jim is a small space but it's a space created to enable long term, sustainable change.
Winter means transformation at Little Jim.
Time to dimensions the lights and see red!

GOOGLE GOBBLES FITBIT - APP & WEARABLES
The Fitbit App is now being mothballed and replaced by the Google Health App.
You may have already updated, if you haven't, you will need to very soon. It's not an overly painful update but it is a nuisance plus it is very different, at least superficially.
I personally took up the free 3 month Premium membership to get the best out of it, but that certainly isn't necessary.
I'm not sure how seamless the integration is for our Gym/Coaching App (Trainerize) but so far so good.
I would suggest anyone still hanging on the the nostalgia and familiarity of the Fitbit app, update to Google Health asap. Just be proactive NOT reactive - The Fitbit App wil be deleted by Google, along with ALL your data if you don't update, in September!!
GOOGLE FITBIT AIR WEARABLE RELEASED TODAY!
This is a major disruptor wearable in the market. Fitbit was already #1 fitness wearable, but with the new Google Fitbit Air, it will make performance trackers such as Whoop and Polar VERY nervous.
Hundreds of dollars cheaper, subscription NOT necessary and a tiny, screen free form factor PLUS it will get HUUUUGE third party support....it is a giant killer!
I'm going to get one as my Fitbit Sense is on its last legs. If you are curious: https://youtu.be/tGD9CS2YOiY?si=-4IDUS-r7I1OdSY9
BARGAIN WEARABLE OF THE YEAR: XIAOMI SMART BAND 10
Another absolute giant killer fitness tracker!
If I didn't buy a Fitbit Air, I would get this tracker. OLED screen, aluminum construction, very high brightness, colour of course, huge battery life, up to 20 days and only $69 from Amazon Au!! Check out this review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOQsrKoAhS8
Forget the Google Fitbit Air. Buy THIS Instead!

Human's ONLY!
I really don't want to discriminate, but I've decided to only coach humans at the moment!
I apologize to all those who identify as alien, Ai, android or alternative forms of consciousness, but you have to draw the line somewhere right :P
So if you're human and wish to become a 'better human' or you've set your goals even loftier at 'super human', then we'll get on swimmingly.
DM me or don't. Life and humanity will go on regardless. Have a great life :)
