Sweat Co

What a perfect rainy morning to finish out my last PT session!

Jin, you are a champ. Soo Jin busted her foot at the end of last year, and we couldn’t finish her PT package in time.

So I am like, hey, I still have a few weeks left in January, where I can duck out from the chaos and get it done.

Thanks, Soo Jin, for riding it out to the very end.

Only four more sleeps left!!

OUR MOVING DAY IS ALMOST HERE!
I am so very excited for the future. I am beside myself for my children to experience the ENDLESS BLUE SKIES, the SOOTHING BIRD SONG with Jurassic overtones, and those hypnotising AUSTRALIAN HORIZONS.

I have so many plans and ideas swirling in my head for the next step. For the next chapter, I ENVISION an ONLINE SWEAT CO FORMAT, through an app or Zoom, as well as in person with ONE-ON-ONE TRAINING IN ADELAIDE.

I AM A BETTER HUMAN BECAUSE OF YOU SWEAT CO
Sweat Co, you have witnessed my growth, with all the ups and downs and lumps and bumps in between, as a business owner and fitness trainer. It hasn’t been smooth. I have learned I need to set firm boundaries, and I have also learned empathy as a trainer.

Communicating with empathy and understanding did not come naturally to me, I have had to work on it and LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES, and there have been many. I have discovered my limitations, that it’s not me, there is only so much I can do, and WHEN TO WALK AWAY from a situation, client, or colleague.

I AM SO PROUD OF SWEAT CO
Running Sweat Co has been a period of personal growth that I AM SO SERIOUSLY PROUD OF. I AM PROUD of the human I have become. I AM PROUD of the business owner I have learned to be, with all the hard decisions that come with this responsibility. I AM PROUD of the community we have built. I love that I can walk through my neighbourhood and I will see a Sweat Co member or one of their children or partners or fur babies, we will wave and stop for a chat while their fur baby gives me a WET LICK.

To walk away from this is not easy. The pull for a new chapter and the yearning for my Singapore-born Australian boys to experience something like my childhood growing up as a FREE-RANGE FERAL AUSSIE KID is too much.

I am going to miss you all so very much. I feel confident that I have done the best possible job in ensuring the SWEAT CO SPIRIT LIVES ON. Coach Felicia has got you covered, BURN SQUAD, you are ready to FEEL THE BURN.

LOVE YOUSE ALL,
SAM XOXO

About last night…





**k

Someone just told me that sadly Sweat Co is closed, and the classes will not continue.

Wait! Whaaaat? Nooooooooo! Huh?

No way! I would never leave Sweat Co hanging for their sweat highs. I may be relocating to Adelaide soon and temporarily pausing Sweat Co as I settle my family into our new city. This does not mean the sweat stops flying for our die-hard sweat-loving community.

Sweat Co will re-open in Adelaide in a new format. Sweat Co, the community will still be thriving and sweating it out in Telok Kurau Park: under the guidance of Coach Felicia and her new fitnes community Burn Squad. The Burn Squad community is calling themselves Squadies, and I love this!

Coach Fel has been Sweat Co’s assistant coach for two years, and I am so proud that she is stepping into her boss lady trainers and heading up Burn Squad at Telok Kurau Park. Coach Fel has been by my side, steadfastly sticking with me, when I have been overworked and over-committed, offering to take on more classes so I can focus on PT. And always offering sensible pearls of wisdom and helping me see from all perspectives. Fel you have been my rock, and I am so grateful to have met you, we work so well together.

That could also be because you are so kind, putting up with all my finicky musical tastes, my stickler for form, don’t forget to offer modifications nags, all my many cues, and my border Gen X luddite tendencies.

Burn Squad, you are going take off under the guidance of this fabulous human. Coach Fel for the BURN!

Burn Squad’s First Session is TOMORROW!!!

SESSION: Boxing
PLACE: Telok Kurau Park
TIME: 7:15 am

Check the links in the profile for Burn Squad details.

Coach Felicia is launching her new fitness community, Burn Squad, this week! Her first boxing class is this Thursday at Telok Kurau Park.

Coach Fel and the Saturday SweatCAMP gang! 🩷

Second last SweatBOX class of the year... How time flies! We've now got a regular crew that enjoy the upper body and cardio workouts every week - happy to see new faces!

Sweat Co showed up for our penultimate SweatSTRONG sweat session. S**t is getting real, and the end of an era is almost here.

Who am I, without waking up at the crack of dawn every Wednesday and hustling my overloaded trolley to Telok Kurau Park? Big thoughts.

MOBILITY WORKSHOP COMING UP 
THIS SATURDAY AFTER SWEATCAMP!

Our bodies are unique; we learn and adapt the way we use them as they change and age. We all need mobility, regardless of whether or not we are rigid or hyperflexible. Sometimes we can be both; it depends on which joints we’re talking about!

We strongly believe in mobility; it’s vital to understand how our bodies and joints are used, to prevent injuries and maximise our range of movements.

Get Bendy is OPEN TO ALL members, simply book in with your package.

GET BENDY | MOBILITY WORKSHOP
When: 18th November
Time: 8:45 am
Where: Telok Kurau Park
Duration: 60 mins

CAN I SIGN INTO SWEATCAMP AND GET BENDY?
YES! Get Bendy is designed to complement our SweatCAMP class. So YES, you can do both. Get Bendy is not a workout session. We will be exploring deeper stretches and mobility movements we touch on during our WARM-UP and COOLDOWN segments in class.

SIGN UP before you miss your spot.

MOBILITY WORKSHOP COMING UP
THIS SATURDAY AFTER SWEATCAMP!

GET BENDY | MOBILITY WORKSHOP
WHEN: 14th October
TIME: 8:45am
WHERE: Telok Kurau Park
DURATION: 60 minutes

WHAT HAS MOBILITY GOT TO DO WITH SWEAT CO?
The greater your mobility, the LESS CHANCE you have of INJURING yourself, be that while exercising or more likely from everyday tasks such as walking up the stairs, to picking up toys off the floor, or simply getting out of bed.

FEL’S MOBILITY EXPERIENCE
Our bodies are all unique, and as they change and age, we learn and adapt how we use our bodies. MOBILITY IS IMPORTANT - whether we are stiff, or hyperflexible. Sometimes, we can be both, it just depends on which joints we’re talking about!
 
I strongly BELIEVE in mobility, it’s so important to know how we use our bodies and joints so we can prevent injuries and maximise our range of movements.
 
As someone with HYPERMOBILITY, I thought flexibility = mobility. I experienced pain in my joints due to the uneven loading and pressure until I learned to move the smallest muscles that played the biggest supporting roles.
 
In addition, most of us have uneven mobility on both sides, so we should be aware of this and continue strengthening these muscles (think hip flexors and shoulder blades!).

CAN I SIGN INTO SWEATCAMP AND GET BENDY?
YES! Get Bendy has been designed to complement our SweatCAMP class. So YES, you can do both. Getting Bendy is not a workout session. We will be exploring deeper stretches and mobility movements we touch on during our WARM-UP and COOLDOWN segments in class.
 
SIGN UP before you miss your spot.

Time to get mobile team and join the Get Bendy Love in.

See you Saturday!
