Itโ€™s tiiiiiiiime! To celebrate some achievements and get the inspiration and motivation ๐Ÿ”ฅ up

๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š Celebrating ALL-GREENS* ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š

There ladies are real life inspiration right here ๐Ÿคฉ Just look at how pleased they are with this achievement.

If you don't know what our green obsession is about read to the end of the post for a full explanation ๐Ÿ‘‡

And just a reminder that usually less than 2% of workouts end this way - so yes, it is a huge achievement and if if wasn't you remember it is definitely not the norm despite how it feels ๐Ÿ˜Š
๏ฟฝOur Curves Smartยฎ system sets targets, personal to each of us, and hitting every single one on the same day is something we get very excited about!๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ

*๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š ALL GREENS ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š means that these ladies have hit all their personal targets on each machine, working each muscle group evenly and it refers to the data the system shows them at the end of their workouts, showing a green dot on every muscle they have achieved their target on.

It shows they are getting STRONGER ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ช and are ready for an increase in their PI (Performance Index) target to keep them challenged.๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝStrength Training and being stronger will make your daily routines a whole lot easier and will reduce your risk of common health problems such as back problems, osteoporosis, joint pain AND reduce your risk of chronic disease such as cancer.

Not forgetting; You will look better AND feel better โœ…

September is officially in full swing, and if youโ€™ve spent the last week or two trying to figure out how to get back to YOUโ€ฆ we completely see you! ๐Ÿ‚โœจ

The summer holidays are a wonderful blur, but they are also a total disruption to our normal routines. Honestly, quite a welcome disruption, but then we find ourselves craving those same routines again.

The good news is September is THE month for a reset. Itโ€™s also the perfect time to build a new habit that leaves your body energised and your mind completely settled. ๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ’œ

If youโ€™ve been putting off taking that first step (or returning) because youโ€™re worried about not doing something sooner, putting it off, or getting distracted, weโ€™re going to level with you: youโ€™re going to be in GREAT company because we ALL get it here ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ™Œ

Thatโ€™s why we make it โ€˜easyโ€™:

โฑ๏ธ 30-minutes, every time: A complete full-body workout that you can work into your day.
โŒ No booking and No Class times: Arrive, start, leave 30-minutes later with your body energised and mind calmed.
๐Ÿค Support from Day 1: A Coach is a part of your membership, so you are never left alone. Weโ€™ll keep you safe and motivated for your workout (and the next one too!)
๐Ÿ’ฆ Hydraulic machines: The resistance responds entirely to your effort and there are no weight stacks to manage. Itโ€™s safe and itโ€™s effective for all.
๐Ÿชž Zero judgment zone: No mirrors, no pressure. Just a warm, welcoming circle of women cheering you on.

It is time to put yourself back at the top of the list. No experience (or post-summer regret) required! ๐Ÿ‘ญโ˜•๏ธ

Woop woop- this Claire hit 400 workouts woo hoo! Claire gets her workouts in every week and is feeling the benefit of strength training ๐Ÿ’ฅ Strong muscles provide the support for bones and joints that keep your body stable and working properly. ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’œ

If you are Strength Training as you lose weight, your body will prioritise and protect muscle tissue and tend to burn more body fat for energy. Muscle tissue burns a lot of energy. When you are trying to lose weight and keep it off, it is critical that you do all that you can to burn primarily body fat and preserve muscle mass.

Congratulations Claire!๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ˜

๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ The size and shape of your body does not determine whether you are fit or healthy (or even greedy or lazy!) ๐Ÿ“… To wrap up Weight Stigma Awareness Week, we want to share one final truth: working out should not be a punishment or a 'price to pay'.

Your activity levels ARE a key factor in your health indicators and increasing your activity levels (especially with Strength Training) is one of the most effective ways of reducing your risk factors for many preventable health conditions.

BUT, the fact is women have been made to feel ashamed of our bodies, and using weight or BMI to assess health has become a way to put the blame on our shoulders. We didn't eat right, do enough or follow the plan.

There is a BETTER WAY - our members tell us what it feels like when you shift the focus to celebrating what your body can DO:

๐Ÿ’œ "Getting the green light on my Smartยฎ tag helps me to know I am doing enough!"
๐Ÿ’œ "I can feel my muscles working on the machines and then see the improvements in my data afterwards!"
๐Ÿ’œ "I love that it's just normal local women with normal bodies supporting each other."
๐Ÿ’œ "I love that the Coaches celebrate my consistency, not perfection."
๐Ÿ’œ "I love that there is always a Coach right there on the circuit to guide me and keep me safe."

Weโ€™ve worked incredibly hard to remove the barriers that stop women from building strength and create the space where women can be themselves, and 'have a go' at being the kind of person who exercises regularly and even enjoys the gym!

๐Ÿ’œ No is woman left behind โœŒ๏ธ

๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ This size of your body does not determine your health, fitness or whether you should be in a gym or not.

๐Ÿ“† THIS Weight Stigma Awareness Week; an annual initiative dedicated to shedding light on how to eliminate the harmful effects of anti-fat biases resulting in weight stigma and promoting understanding, empathy, and change. We KNOW the fitness industry has a lot of work to do here. How? Because our members tell us!

๐Ÿ’œ "This is the first gym I've felt welcome"
๐Ÿ’œ "This is the first time I've stuck at anything"
๐Ÿ’œ "I love that it's just normal women with normal bodies here"
๐Ÿ’œ "I can't believe how much better I feel"
๐Ÿ’œ "I just want to be fitter, so I can play with my grandkids"
๐Ÿ’œ "I can't imagine going to a normal gym"
๐Ÿ’œ "I love that there is always someone to help me when I come"

We've worked hard to overcome the barriers to women getting Stronger. Feeling that they don't have the 'right body' being one of them!

Our goal is that all women can experience the health benefits of improving their Strength and their cardiovascular fitness. Now those are REAL health indicators.

๐Ÿ’œ Kim's been a member for for nearly 2 years and uses the workout log journal to plan her workouts and keep her exercise habit a priority. She won't mind me sharing that this is not her first rodeo. Kim is one of our (many) returning members, but she never actually gave up and neither did we.

Between work commitments and a young family she has to plan and commit to herself. She's benefitted hugely from Strength Training meaning she moves through her days easier, and with more energy, and most importantly keeping her mental health in great shape too ๐Ÿ’ช๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ
