Essential Fitness Victoria

Big Welcome Back to the Kids Kickboxing crew! We didn’t have the entire squad back yet but we’ve been working through the break and are happy to have some returning members coming back to the mats after short holiday hiatuses!

We’re going back to the basics, focussed on some footwork drills and some creative teamwork with our Youth leaders working with the younger members to bring it all together.

January is a great time to re-focus on ourselves and our personal development after the ‘holiday hustle’, it’s no different with the young ones! We are welcoming new members to our program, but spots are filling up fast. Whether your little superhero has an interest in competition or you guys are simply looking for a healthy outlet and to build some fitness and coordination that will help in all aspects of life… We are here for you and Fitness is ESSENTIAL!

⚡️⚡️Saturday SQUAD

🏆🏆Essential Fitness Competition TEAM

🙏🙏We may be a small team in numbers but we are BIG in heart, dedication, skill and respect. It’s an honor to help guide the current and future champions in the early stage of their martial arts careers.

🫡🫡These young practitioners are racking up wins and medals, validating their training and hard work with RESULTS. But we stay grounded, because every competition is a clean slate and past victories are irrelevant as soon as that bell rings.

🗣️🗣️What I tell these young warriors is that they have established themselves as a goal that their opponents are striving for. There are a bunch of kids in other gyms, literally training specifically to beat them. Those other kids are focused, have great coaches and are getting bigger and faster and stronger every day. So we have to stay hungry because we KNOW there’s a lot of other DAWGS out there that want to eat too.

🫵🫵We are welcoming new members into our Kids Kickboxing Program, for our young leaders to work beside and help others gain the fitness, skill, confidence and respect that martial arts training builds. These guys have all come so far and overcome their own challenges in becoming successful competitive martial artists and we want to share that experience with our community!

DM for more info, see you on the mats!

Posted • ⚡️⚡️BIG Energy in the Dojo this morning! The first win was hearing that alarm, dragging our asses out of bed and getting to the spot for 6am.

🔥🔥We fired up a quick warmup and got right into a spicy conditioning circuit with the Sledgehammer, Kettlebells, Slam Ball and Battle Ropes.

🙏🙏Followed with a 10 minute investment in stretching and mobility.

🥊🥊🪓🪓Then we got into the FUN stuff, working some fundamental kickboxing technique drilling, and left it ALL on the mats with hard rounds on the pads to finish 🥵🥵

😤😤We all agreed we felt like hot garbage when we woke up but everyone showed up, put in the work and left feeling, refreshed, energized and full of MOJO to attack the day!! If you’re looking for this type of action to kickstart YOUR day, we are here for ya!!

💥💥On another note, is ROCKIN that NEW Essential Fitness Zip Up hoodie! Available next week, DM to secure yours, it’s a LIMITED run!

What an awesome day at the !! The team showed up and showed out.

Hudson brought it big time in his first competition and had a couple split decisions in his tournament that could’ve gone either way. He was brave, tough and composed and we couldn’t be more proud. He took on a couple SuperFights after his division cuz he still wanted more action!

Our seasoned veterans Rylan and Levi both fought hard and stuck to the game plan against tough opponents, bringing home Gold Medals in their respective divisions. These 2 young assassins are dedicated, they train hard and they execute when the pressure is on. Resilience, conditioning and technique are all clearly apparent when these guys compete. The future is very bright for all of our young competitors.

Most importantly, everybody had FUN!!

Also shout out to our homie Mason who had some tough draws but fought hard and made the best out of it!!

Once again big thanks to for organizing the event and giving our young athletes the opportunity to compete and build the martial arts community on the island. See you guys next time!!

🥊🥊Kickboxing Bootcamp was a great vibe last night! We are rocking with a NEW class time Mondays at 5pm to provide more options for people who want to check this out!

⚡️⚡️The fellas here (ladies are welcome too! Let’s go girls!) were feelin it! Pushing themselves with functional movement conditioning circuits, taking the time to invest in mobility work and dynamic stretching, and drilling some kickboxing basics.

😤😤At the end of the hour you’ll know that you put in the work but you’ll feel refreshed, and carry that good posture, balance, breathing with you when you leave the dojo.

💥💥All experience levels are welcome, if you don’t know where to start in your fitness journey OR you are looking for a great supplement to existing routine, this is what you’re looking for!

🎤🎤IT’SSSSS TIIIIIIMMMMMEE!!

👉👉 Yea YOU!

💪💪 Time to get your ass off the couch! Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Stop complaining about how you’re
-stiff
-sore
-tired
-out of shape
-depressed
-anxious

🙃🙃 It’s easy to come up with excuses…
-Kids/Family
-Job
-Business
-School

💥💥But you gotta Flip the Script! These aren’t reasons holding you back from working out, they are the reasons to SHOW UP and start taking CARE of YOUR self!

⚡️⚡️When you show up for yourself, to move better, feel better and have better habits, you WILL perform better in the other areas of life for the people who need you at your BEST!

Weekend Warriorz!!

Respect to these young athletes, in the dojo training on Saturday morning when most of their colleagues are eating Froot Loops and watching cartoons. Oh wait that was my childhood. Well, Whatever the kids are into nowadays. Watching YouTube and having bad hairdo’s I guess. And to be fair these guys will all probably go do the exact same thing after class, but they EARNED it!

Kickboxing class is never easy, our young athletes know that will never get a free pass at the dojo. If they’re not here to put in work, it won’t last. Kudos to all the kids who show up day in and day out knowing that it’s never going to be a walk in the park. There is no means of instant gratification that compares to the feeling of pushing yourself, getting uncomfortable and practicing what you’re bad at until you become good at it. Life skills being developed at a young age. Our goal is that The work ethic and accountability they cultivate here, stick with them through life and all it’s challenges.

Youth martial arts when coached well is a great blend of fun and engagement, while building character, resilience and fortitude. We are welcome new members and would love to hear from you if want to give YOUR Little Superhero the opportunity to go on a journey of self discovery that comes from pushing further than they thought they could.

Posted • Great session today with the big homie Ashley Sims

Back on the grind at Essential Fitness Victoria ⚡️⚡️

In the Summer we tend to be a bit more preoccupied on all the events and external things going on, Fall seems to be a time get more focus on our internal and back to self development. Because Winter is coming. Let’s get fit and sharp, hit me up to get a training program going that works for YOU.

💪💪🇨🇦🇨🇦

You don’t have to be a fighter to train like one! The sport of Kickboxing and martial arts in general, are great in the sense that of course competition is the highest level of Practice. A great way to push yourself past any limits you THOUGHT you had, and see how you stack up against other practitioners. BUT you can TRAIN all of the physical aspects and reap the same benefits as what many experts will agree are among the best conditioned athletes in the world.

⚡️⚡️BALANCE
⚡️⚡️MOBILITY
⚡️⚡️CONDITIONING
⚡️⚡️ENDURANCE
⚡️⚡️FLEXIBILITY
⚡️⚡️CORE STRENGTH
⚡️⚡️BODY MECHANICS
⚡️⚡️COORDINATION

All of the above are huge factors in the development of your kickboxing skills, not just punching and kicking. These are all benefits you will gain from training, as well as confidence and self defence. Everyone needs an outlet to PUSH themselves and get out of the comfort zone, to feel truly ALIVE.

Training at Essential Fitness will build your physicality and skill set from the ground up. If you want to build a house, you start with the FOUNDATION, and training carries the same principle. When you start light sparring, you will build the skills of staying calm and cool under pressure, and thinking a few steps ahead. Playing Chess not Checkers as we say. IF you want to take it to the next level and compete, we have access to a network of Elite coaches that can fine tune your skills amd mindset to take that big step!
🥊🥊📈📈

AND I’m going to just throw it out there, the ‘elephant in the room’, these physical attributes will likely be ummm ‘appreciated’ by your partner or significant other. Just stating facts. A great way to get the twinkle back in your/their eyes. 🤩🤩🔥🔥

So if you’ve been looking for SOMETHING, we have it for you at Essential Fitness. Training for everyone, time to bring out your best self 💪💪😤😤

Kicked off Canada Day with some great morning rounds with the fellas! .8 and are 2 of the most dedicated dojo dudes around ! It was awesome to kick off a special day with a proper workout and some sparring rounds. I feel very blessed to be able to practice what I love and share it with others who want to bring out their best.

The meaning of Patriotism seems to have become a controversial subject but to us it is very simple. It starts with being our best selves. Personal Excellence is the ultimate form of rebellion when the system wants us weak, sick and subservient. Get off the couch and start training. Start with the physical, and the rest will come.

We love our country but object to how it is being run, against our best interests. We love our people but want them to stand up, show fortitude and cultivate a strong community instead of being manipulated, ‘offended’, divided and apathetic.

Patriotism is not a bad thing. We enjoy a great lifestyle and amazing land here but it is under attack. We love what Canada could be, but see it being pushed in a different direction. Once you are exposed to truth, you cannot be unexposed. Listen to your conscience and do what is right, whether it’s difficult or not. We have some work to do, it won’t easy but it will be worth it. Happy Canada Day. 💪💪🇨🇦🇨🇦
