Xcel Fitness East Tamaki / Botany

Hey Team

We are currently experiencing issues with our old access key system. If you havent done so, please head in to the gym to get the new access key (multi club one). It is unlikely the old system will be revived due to the age of the hardware.

Multi club is active so if you want access to our other gyms, please swap your access tags asap.

Apologies for the inconvenience 🙏

Hey fam!

If you've heard the rumours, they are absolutely true. Over the next week or so we will be rebranding the gym to Xcel Fitness East Tamaki.

We're excited to offer all 24/7 members multi club giving you new locations to visit! Once everything is ready, you'll just have to come in and swap your tag to a multi club tag.

Keep an eye on our social media for more updates!

Get ready to smash your next grocery haul with these 5 TIPS for HEALTHIER SHOPPING! 💚

Plan Ahead: Before heading to the store, take some time to plan your meals for the week. Write down the items you need based on your meal plan. Stick to your list to avoid buying unnecessary items that may not align with your health goals.

Add Your Favorite Cheat: Treat yourself! While it's important to prioritize nutritious foods, it's also okay to indulge in moderation. Allow yourself to add ONE favorite cheat item to your cart, think of it as a reward for maintaining your healthier lifestyle.

Choose Fresh Produce: Opt for a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables to ensure you're getting a range of nutrients. Aim to fill half of your plate with fruits and veggies at each meal. 🥦

Choose Lean Proteins: Opt for lean sources of protein such as chicken breast, fish, tofu, beans, and legumes. These options are lower in saturated fat and can help support muscle health. 🥩

Read Labels: Take the time to read nutrition labels and ingredient lists. Always refer to the ~per 100g on the nutritional table when comparing foods - this allows for a consistent baseline of comparison.

From planning ahead to choosing fresh produce, these simple strategies will help you make nutritious choices and stay on track with your wellness goals. Stay tuned for more healthier living tips & tricks.

Stack em' high, watch em' fly! 🥞 Give this PROTEIN STACKED PANCAKE RECIPE a try, you're welcome 😎

Packed with muscle-building goodness, these pancakes are a tasty way to refuel and recover.

You're going to need:
1 banana
75g oats
3 large eggs
2 tbsp milk (dairy, soya, oat or nut milks all work)
1 tbsp baking powder
pinch of cinnamon
1 scoop protein powder (whey / plant based - whatever your preference)
coconut oil, or a flavourless oil, for frying
nut butter, maple syrup and berries or sliced banana to serve

How to make it:
STEP 1
Blend the banana, oats, eggs, milk, baking powder, cinnamon and protein powder for 1-2 mins until smooth. Check the oats have broken down, if not, blend for another minute.

STEP 2
Heat a drizzle of oil in a pan. Pour or ladle in 2-3 rounds of batter, leaving a little space between each to spread. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until bubbles start to appear on the surface and the underside is golden. Flip over and cook for another minute until cooked through. Transfer to a warmed oven and repeat with the remaining batter. Serve in stacks with nut butter, maple syrup and fruit.
