New poster for girl's workout on Saturday mornings: Lennox Gardens @ 9:15am. We've already run the first session last Saturday and this weekend coming should be fantastic!

I know it sounds super cheesy, but there really is no better time than now to start working on the body you always wanted... It's a great way get in shape and meet new people while you're doing it...

Call me if you're interested in coming to this Saturday's session so I can get a better idea of numbers. Mobile: 0407 900 795

Saturday morning BEST workout with the girls!

Wednesday WOD 21.01.09

I've been trying to get more guys along to our Wednesday work outs and totally racking my brains trying to craft an email that would pull on the heart strings of the guys on the email list... Well my latest email seemed to hit the spot as at today's session we had 10 guys rock up (inc. 4 first timers :)

This is what I wrote:

------------------------------ 

I've had a tonne of excuses from guys that could have made it to last weeks session but didn't. So if you can't make it to tomorrow's workout because you need to organise your matchbox collection, or it interferes with your daily ritual of a bucket-o-hot-chips-&-sauce... I guess we'll understand...

It's probably won't be much of an excuse next time you put your back out packing groceries into the back of the car though... Or having to prematurely end playtime with the kids because you're turning into puff, puff, puff the magic dragon...?

They guys who come to Wednesday WODs aren't iron men
They come to workout with mates. To get fitter, faster & stronger with other mates trying to do the same. They come to feel better about themselves and they do - Winners do what losers don't (cliché - perhaps...?)

Sweating's actually OK - more guys should do it more often...
