Shout out to the crew for finishing the last day of 8 week with a bang! the boxing comp was great to witness and the strength gains made in the gym were ace.
The gents had a alot of responsibilities to juggle towards the end of the year but still managed to come out on top and all now stronger for it!.
Was also great to see the boys who are new to boxing get stuck into sparring comp showcasing vast improvements in skill set in such a short period of time.
Thanks to the @97.Group for coming to capture some footage of it all.
The next 12 week camp starts on the 8th of Jan followed by another second start up date on the 8th of feb for those who need the month off with family etc.
If you've been looking to dip your toes into the world of combat sports, boxing with and grow fit is a great doorway into this world, as I and the team can train you from scratch the right way.

14 days of controlled chaos done and dusted!
Couldn't have asked the universe for a more successful trip! Oh wait I did ask:)
Billy and I went hard at it for two weeks right in the heart of Muay Thai country in Chalong, Phuket at one of the world's largest fighting communities 'Aka' Fitness Street.
We trained hard, we partied, we ate, we drank, we enjoyed a good laugh, and we took plenty of time to rest and recover and sleep like kings.
Every trip I've made to "Fitness Street' has left me with a renewed spirit.
The Tropical vibes, the genuinely happy people, the passion and excellence everyone is pursuing in that community are second to none.
It doesn't take long to realize the level of untapped potential that exists when you are surrounded by world-class fighters, coaches, and fitness enthusiasts who are giving their all every day to pursue a dream above the mundane.
I'm grateful to have made this into my first successful fitness retreat and looking forward to doing it bigger and better next year!
But until then Thank you cottage and everyone who made this trip a phenomenal two weeks.
And of course, a big shout to who went full throttle no fear for two straight weeks, getting thick into Muay Thai, kickboxing, and even a touch of MMA. we had a ball together and would run it back in a heartbeat.

The next group retreat is going to be insanely good.

'One of the biggest mistakes you could be making'
Is overlooking the importance of something just because it's BASIC.
Like..
-Drinking high quality water
-Sleeping 7-8 hours every night
-Breathing from the belly
-Eating real whole foods
-Exercising regularly.
The level of complexity that exists in your life can easily pull you away from the thundamentals.
But all the highest performers execute the simple things day in day out.
Because the basics are the pillars which momentum builds itself of.
Complexity seems sexy because it lures you into the exclusive club where things are shiny & Different.
While the basics are like
"Oh no don't fall for that again"
Does this resonate ?
If it does, then part of you already knows the game that's being played.
The devil you know is the better than the devil you dont.

In the middle of 2017 I reached a turning point in life……
After a relationship breakup & losing my boxing fight on the same day.
I booked a trip overseas to leave my problems behind.
After 30 days of partying straight.
I came back to Australia financially broke starting from square one.
I knew from that point on I had to step it up and commit to my true passion of health & fitness.
I had no money or capital but I had to find a way.
I quit youth work and started doing 1: 1 coaching.
AND the rest is history!
I wanted to tell you that if I can do it, you can do it.
Take this as your sign to Chase that dream and not settle of s**t you aren’t happy with!
I’ve now helped 100’s of career professionals to get in the best shape of their life, quickly and efficiently.
Drop me a 🔥 if you would like some more info on how I can help you too.

Smashed out a 2 day hiking trip in the blue mountains.
Forgot how much working camping is🤯
Nonetheless was a good time, got a solid 25km hike yesterday with some intermittent jogging on white dog trail, the hills were huge.
I found this rock pool on the way back, jumped in and was astonished by the feeling of the water, hard to explain really, but insanely uplifting!..never felt anything like it.
Put me on a massive high for the rest of the hike, definitely worth a try if you get the chance.

The closing of a chapter and the beginning of a new one!
Shout to all the legends who come along to tear it up at the THINK & GROW FIT Steel River gym!
I had a absolute blast training everyone here!
Cranking tunes full blast, ripping through endless combinations and throwing around some iron.
It was a hell of time the good, bad and the ugly!
Super grateful to be surrounded by some many awesome people..
(You know who y'all are😜)
It really does make it all worthwhile.
Onwards & upwards.
♥️
