Bodies of Steele

hello all, sorry for the quiet stint over isolation period. i hope you are all doing well have been coping and are ready to re enter the world. due to going from working at the gym straight into becoming a full time home schooler made it difficult for me to run my business and run my household at the same time so i unfortunately have not posted on here over the isolation period for which i apologise.

today with the announcement from the nsw government it is set that gyms will return to operation (although limited) on the 13th of june so not long now guys, im excited too! although this is exciting news it will now also bring some unfortunate news from my end. due to these unforseen circumstances of the covid-19 pandemic it is with great regret that i announce i will not be returning to world gym when we reopen. This decision was not made without great contemplation and consideration of what is best for me and my business.

i will still be running my business onliine for those who wish to still receive assistance in achieving their goals, i will be offering online coaching, fitness plan and nutrition advice to those confident to complete on their own with no f2f assistance from myself. this means that any previous clients of mine from world gym can still train with me it will just not be f2f training.

i hope that you all can understand and respect this decision as it was not an easy one for me to make but i need to put the health, safety and happiness of myself and my family first and foremost. i hope you all have a wonderful day and have already started a countdown to that illustrious opening. if anyone has any questions or would like to enquire about services please dont hesitate to contact me through this page.

live fit and stay strong

Girls, you be trippin if you think strength training and lifting heavy gunna make you look like this. Pick up the weights and you'll see there's absolutely no need to be afraid of "getting bulky" believe me I'm damn trying 😂😂

You'll be pleasantly surprised to know it's quite the opposite. Unless bulky is your aim(which will take a female years by the way) then weights should be your game! Strong is sexy, and dumbbells are the new black! 💪🏋🏼‍♀️

EVERYTHING YOU DO NOW IS FOR YOUR FUTURE!

So you have goals right? You have goals for your health, you have goals for your fitness, you have goals for your career. But how often do you really think about your future? I dont just mean these goals, but have you ever really took a long hard think about where you'd like to be say 5 years from now? For me it's a successful business helping my clients achieve their goals and educating them so they can become self sufficient in their journey, having a child of my own, a healthy balance between work and home life, increasing my strength and fitness, owning my own home, furthering my education and being content and proud of all I have achieved in my timeline no matter how big or small the achievement. It's hard to timeline some of these things but I break down each goal into SMART format and give those micro achievements a timeline so I know I am on track towards this vision for my future.

So now I ask.... What does yours look like? What is your 5 year plan? Do you have a plan on how to achieve these goals? And most importantly are you on track? Sometimes it can be hard to plan and execute on your own, but don't be afraid or disheartened you are not alone. I'm here to help you plan, execute and achieve those milestones! If you want that help I'm here to give it, so let's connect and get to creating a solid plan and start making moves towards succeeding in those goals and help you achieve your 5 year plan 😊💪

TEN THINGS I WISH I KNEW ABOUT FITNESS AND THE FITNESS INDUSTRY BEFORE I STARTED....

💫 Yo yo dieting and cookie cutter programs from the net don't work.
💫 Cardio isn't the be all and end all of weightloss
💫 Pt's and other professionals aren't intimidating or a money grab
💫 Healthy eating isn't all about chicken, broccoli and rice.
💫 Consistency is key, excuses and negative self talk won't get you results or motivation
💫 Education for both yourself and your clients is paramount
💫 Being a pt isn't just training someone it's also constant support and encouragement
💫 Individualised programs and nutrition advice are the best for individual goals and results
💫 As a pt not every client will listen to you despite paying for your services, some will think the internet knows best and constantly challenge you
💫 Even though your focus is on your clients and helping them achieve their goals, don't forget to mentally and physically care for yourself

All of these things I learnt along my own journey or in becoming a pt and my first year or so in the industry. In every career or journey you will be constantly learning many things, what works best for you and/or your clients, how to perform better in your career and/or along your journey, why you love the ride and/or love what you do. You'll be forever educating and learning not just for yourself but for your clients and that's just one of the many reasons I love my job!

We all fail, we all falter, we all lose our direction in life at one point or another. We also all go through phases of life like chapters in a book, every phase is related the the ending but they all take off in their own direction in different ways to build a story.

In my journey I haven't always loved myself, I haven't always enjoyed being active (literally was the only class I didn't get an a and almost failed year after year all through school), I've had so many obstacles thrown in my way that knocked me down and sent me backwards (depression, anxiety, eating disorder, grief). I've felt(and sometimes still feel, bloody black dog) that I've failed my aspirations more times than I've created new ones. I could have been more consistent, I could have been more determined, I could have done things alot differently and I could have just stuck it out through it all and been where I truly wanted to be. But that wasn't the story life had planned for me, every obstacle led me to a new path that made the journey all the more rewarding, made me want to support others through theirs and made me who I am today. Depression made me love myself, anxiety made me reach out, ed's made me get educated and grief made me stronger.

My point is along our story we may fail, but it's an opportunity for learning and resolve. Don't let your failures define you or stick you in the quick sand, let them guide you on your path to the next big thing because you never know what that is, where it will take you or what you will learn and gain from it.

Let's laugh, learn and grow together

What a transformation! Biggest shout out to my client when she sent me this I was gobsmacked all her hard work is paying off! It can be hard managing a serious injury like a torn acl plus having a sedentary job where you work long hours but she has absolutely killed it. Her wedding pic was from back in November and now in my 4 week challenge she's even dropped another almost 2 kilos in 2 weeks! Her goal is to hit double digits for the first time in years and she's about to kick it's butt by the end of this challenge! And a bonus she has done this progressively and changed her lifestyle to boot so these results will be sustained well into her future!

Do you have goals for 2020? Do you want to take the steps towards changing your lifestyle to create a healthier you and healthier future? Come down and see me or slide me a dm and i can get you set up for success for the new year! It doesn't matter what your goals or your starting point, what matters is that we work together towards changing your lifestyle and your life for a happier, healthier you💪😊

This was just over 2 years ago, my goals were different to what they are now, back then I was working towards aesthetic goals of a lean, shaped physique. No I don't look like this today and that's because as I progressed in my journey and my career my goals changed as did my physique.

Now my goals are based on strength and all around health. I'm content with not having the leanest physique at the moment because with my current goals keeping my physique this lean would be more difficult, it would make me hungry and tired and leave me mentally struggling with a battle between focusing on my clients and focusing on myself. This doesn't mean that I am any less capable than I would be with a lean physique but it would take away from other elements from my daily life. We all go through phases of different physiques and goals. One day I might have these goals again but for now I'm happy with the course I'm running and putting more focus towards helping my clients achieve goals like this. 💪

Make wiser, healthier choices! I have had so many people come to work with me that have those goals to lose weight or drop body fat expecting their workouts to do the hard work for them. The look on some faces when I explain that their particular goal is 80% nutrition is astonishing. Now I'm not saying this as a bad comment against those people but it's simply astonishing to me that the general population are convinced it's the other way around.

This is the fight I put up everyday in my chosen career, the fight against bu****it information and pseudoscience posted all over the internet that misleads the gen pop to believing that healthy eating is only a small part of achieving their goals. If you have goals please speak to a professional! We don't charge to simply give you some advice on how to make wiser, informed and educated choices. We charge for services like structured plans and training but if you just want some advice, my inbox is always open, or you can always come in to the gym and just have a chat. 😊

📣PROGRESS NOT PERFECTION!📣

Check out these shots from todays session with ! Laura has always had a solid plank, over the weeks we've been progressively overloading by adding extra rounds or time and today we decided to test her limits with some weighted planks! We topped out with her having an additional 15kg to her plank! What a performance and we're not stopping there, another reason we should always aim for progress and not perfection!

Well done Laura! You should be proud, I know I'm proud of you for all your effort you put in to every session! @ World Gym Port Macquarie

⭐️Client spotlight!⭐️

Check out 's progress this year! Starting on the left in January 2019 to now in October 2019. Kristin is down 15kg and has made some serious physical changes to her physique 💪 I can't take credit for all of this as she done quite alot herself before joining us here at world Gym and starting to work with me when she signed up. But this girl is going places fast!

She's made all this progress all while battling a torn ACL in her right knee, what a trooper! In the past 5 weeks we have been working together Kristin has gone down a whole size in tops after a long plateau of progress, what an achievement! And although we have to go easy on her lower body due to her injury we are coming along on leaps and bounds, building strength and functionality again and preparing her to be her strongest post surgery! She even has her wedding coming up next month and has to keep making alterations to her dress due to all the progress she is making. 😎 I can't wait to see where this lady gets, she's truly dedicated to her goals and won't stop for anything! I couldn't ask for a better client 😊

Want to kick off your summer body and start getting results like Kristin, let's chat about how we can work together towards your goals!

Success is the end result of dedication and consistency. But also success is determined by what we see as success, is it losing a certain amount of weight? hitting a new Pb on a lift? is it being a better you than you were yesterday?

Your version of success determines your path to get there, but these are some good key points to keep in mind as we outline our individual paths to success. Set your goals periodically, celebrate even the littlest wins, don't be disheartened by a small slip up! Remember that we are only human and make many mistake and life sometimes throws hurdles at us that we don't make it over, what matters is that we get up dust ourselves of and run head first towards the next one.

Another proud coach moment! But also a great way to show you all the scale is irrelevant to progress...

Check out these results from my client Greg, Greg is 51 years of age and has a predominantly sedentary job and until joining world Gym hadn't completed any structured exercise in almost 10 years. In just 4 weeks of hard work on a personalised program Greg has dropped 20.5cm off his overall measurements and only lost 0.8kg on the scale meaning most of his hard work has already begun converting to lean muscle mass💪

And this is all just with structured exercise, we haven't altered Greg's nutrition at all yet so I can only see more results coming for him in block 2 when we start altering nutrition as well 👍 Excellent results Greg, keep up the hard work 😎

Are you ready to sweat?
Are you ready to push yourself to your limits and condition your body?
Do you want to burn hella calories even when you've finished your workout?

Message me about joining my metcon group! Metcon or metabolic condition is a method of high intensity training proven to condition the body to burn more calories than any other workout and continue burning calories well after you have completed these intense sessions. So if you like hiit training and want to take it to the next level, come and try metcon!

If you've taken some of my hiit classes you've also already had a bit of a taste. 😎💪🔥

⭐️Client appreciation post⭐️

Check out these action shots of crushing her metcon workout this morning! She absolutely murdered it! Shawney has been killing it with me twice a week since we opened and has made some serious strength and confidence gains 💪

She never says no to anything I put her up against even when it's delving her into the unknown or she knows is going to make her hurt! She is my b.o.s.s client of the week and our first Bodies Of Steele Superstar here at .

Keep killing it shawney, we'll hit those goals in no time💪 @ World Gym Port Macquarie

📣Healthy isn't the number on the scale!📣

For all my life and into my late teens I was unhappy with myself, the way I looked, the way I felt, the comments others made about me. It made me fixate on that scale number so much it made things even worse! Depression, anxiety, an eating disorder and general unhappiness followed me like a black cloud. .
It wasn't until I found the gym and cried my heart out to my pt and enlisted her help that I realised healthy was so much more than a look or a number on the scale. It was how I felt comfortable in my own skin, how I felt strong both in body and mind and how I would feel making better choices for myself for the right reasons.-----She was my guardian angel, she was by my side step by step and inspired me to become the trainer I am today and the reason why I love doing the same for others. I threw away fixated goals like weight and what I thought myself and others would find aesthetically pleasing and switched them for more progressive goals like strength and self love. .
On the left at 18 I was 100+kg, I'd stopped weighing myself dreading seeing that number each time, on the right at 24(January this year) I was 65ish kilos again I'd stopped weighing myself not out of fear but out of realisation that the number on the scale had no real indication of my health what so ever.----- My point here is and always will be, don't give up, don't be afraid to enlist help and most of all learn to love yourself for who you are and what you are achieving not what some rubbish piece of apparatus tells you you are! We all have a journey and story, don't ever stop writing those chapters of progress, be your own motivation and your only competition!💪 . . . .

World Gym gains! Being back in my element has reignited my motivation to grow, I finally have all my favourite play things again and can continue to grow in body and mind.

These last 3 weeks being at have been just astounding! We have such a supportive team of staff, wonderful members and determined clients! This is definitely life telling me it's time for growth, in more than just my arms 😏😜💪

I don't take or post alot of selfies, they're just not my thing at all. But sometimes when the pump is on after a juicy Sesh it's nice to snap a quick one to look back on how hard you pushed yourself that day. Especially on days when we feel like we can't lift ourselves let alone those weights.

I love my strength training and wouldn't give it up for the world! It frees me from my mind and let's me know what my body is capable of! Some people ask why I lift weights and why I prefer lifting heavy over things like cardio and hiit classes, the simple answer is, it's what suits me! My goals aren't aesthetically based, I don't aim to look like any fitness models or physique competitors... What I aim for is strength and lots of it so that's exactly what I train for!💪

Why do you train The way you train or would you like to change the way you train. Slide in those dm's or sound off below 🤘 @ World Gym Port Macquarie
