Merewether Fitness Studio

I'm a big believer in going with the flow of life but, every now & then, you do need to stick that oar in the water & paddle!

KEEP A LOOKOUT FOR LUKE. 🙏

On Saturday night, the 6th of July, my nephew went into the water after a boating accident in the Swansea Channel. Despite an intensive air, sea, and land search he has sadly, not been found.

The authorities have estimated that there is a ‘Window of Opportunity’ around this Friday the 12th of July to Monday the 15th of July in which our Luke may surface for a short period of time.

We know it's a long shot but we are asking for help to bring our beautiful boy home.

We are reasonably confident he is in Lake Macquarie but obviously, we can not be 100% sure. So whether you're out fishing, paddling, boating, walking, or surfing we are asking anyone and everyone near or on the waters of Lake Macquarie, and its beaches, to keep an eye out for Luke or any items that appear suspicious.

The police have provided the following instructions as to how best to deal with any sightings:

- Do not touch him or items of interest
- Drop a pin in your maps
- keep Him or items in sight
- Call Crime Stoppers 1800 333 000
- Belmont Police Station 4922 8899

The community response and support of our family since the incident has been overwhelming. We know we can rely on you again over the coming days in 'Keeping a Lookout for Luke.'

Please share with as many people as you can and thank you.

Studio Holiday!
We will be closed this Friday, 21st of June, & reopen on Monday the 1st of July 😎

What better way to spend a wet & cold winter morning then a late breakfast with your bestie at your local coffee shop. Located only 100 meters up the road, the Corn Fritters here are delicious 😋

A great morning in the gym with a few handstands to celebrate the birthday of a special lady Sonya Fisher

Hello Team,

Some of you may or may not know that I have been away, traveling around Australia for the last 2 years but, I’m back baby! 😎

My son Sam has done a great job looking after the studio in my absence, with some great feedback from existing clients. Sam also brought a few new clients onboard but……. the fact remains that client numbers are still far below our ‘Pre Covid’ figures.

This year the studio celebrates 17 years and after 2 years of travel I am feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and motivated and it’s time for a recruitment drive. There is no better place to start than with former clients or existing clients who may have fallen by the wayside.
Let’s not forget that new clients are always welcome!

Maybe only a few days ago you were eating Easter eggs thinking: “I really need to get back to the gym!”

If you have found another gym or activity that is keeping you happy & healthy then I say well done, keep it up!

BUT; if your intention has always been to come back “one day” now is a great time as we haves space in most sessions.

“So, one day or day one? Your decision!”

We have had a slight increase with our 10 Visit Pass for the first time in over 10 years but, we now also offer weekly or monthly memberships for those who want to train more frequently.

I have really enjoyed getting back into the Studio & seeing many familiar faces, and I look forward to seeing a few more.

Hello everyone,

As many of you would know, around 2 years ago, my wife Annie & I took off to travel around Australia. Yes….it has been 2 years, which was the arrangement with my son Sam who has done a sensational job running the studio in my absence.

Sam has wanted to move to Melbourne for some time & he has recently managed to secure a rental property down there in a very tough market. Therefore, he needed to act quickly and take a leap of faith when this property came up.

As such, I will be returning to Newcastle on Wednesday the 20th of March (also Sam’s birthday!) & resume running Merewether Fitness Studio from Monday the 25th of March.

To the clients I have trained before; I am looking forward to getting back in the gym & reacquainting myself with all of you. To those new clients Sam has brought on board, I look forward to meeting you & working to maintain the same level of trust, confidence & quality training that you experienced with Sam.

Once again a massive thanks to my son Sam and best wishes for the move to Melbourne.

I have enjoyed the last 2 years of traveling, but I am also looking forward to getting back, setting some goals & getting to work.

Cocktail hour has to end sometime 🍹

See you in the Studio Team.

Stephen 😎💪

The calm after the storm!
