Comparison is the thief of joy.

It’s really easy to fall into a comparison trap. Especially when you are starting out. The person next to you seems to be effortlessly smashing out reps and you don’t have a chance of keeping up with them. It can be very demotivating.

DON’T COMPARE! Check your mindset and intentions. Everyone has good days and bad days. Your sessions are about you, for you. If the person next to you is smashing it, use it as inspiration, give them a well done and a high five at the end of the session!

Don’t let it rob you of the joy of your workout and efforts.

You don’t have to go “extra hard” to make up for the workouts you missed or what you ate over the holidays.

You could listen to your body and ease back in. A much kinder approach! Also less muscle soreness to deal with and more importantly less risk of injury!

We start back tomorrow…

We are starting back with our Glenfield classes on Wednesday 18th January! Woohoo!

We start back on Wednesday 18th Jan - stay tuned for details!

Ahh those post workout stretch feels 🧘‍♀️

Lovely holiday catch up with some of the team, funny seeing everyone in regular clothes and glam rather than activewear!
Ready for term 4!

🤔 Did you know leaking urine when you exercise is NOT a sign of a good workout.

While it is common, it certainly shouldn't be accepted as normal!

Its is not all bad news, you don’t always have to make drastic changes. Sometimes it’s a pelvic floor issue, sometimes it’s an abdominal pressure management issue, sometimes it’s the result of what else you have been doing. Lots of reasons why but no reason to freak out.

There is help and hope out there if you are experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction.

I recommend getting checked by a pelvic floor/womens health physio. Here are a few places on the shore where my clients have had great experiences.
- Femme Physiotherapy, Milford
- Plus One Wellbeing, Northcote
- Bump and Beyond Physio, Takapuna
- Physio Down Under, Forrest Hill

Any other recommendations?

We’ve made it through winter! Many of us just doing our best to hang on and survive winter bugs and the inevitable disruption of our routines. With summer on the way now is the time to take care of yourself!

Take control of your health and your goals. We start back on Monday with
- A flexible approach to strength and fitness
- Pelvic Floor friendly options
- Accountability from me and our community
- Nutrition guidance if you want it
- Fun with a community of like-minded mums

Ready to join in and get the ball rolling? Drop me a message 😊

Term 3 is done and dusted! Well done team 🙌

Its great to see so many of you sticking with outdoor training through the winter months. Seeing that routine and discipline kick in (lets face it...motivation can be hard to find on those cold, rainy days!)

It has been an epic term - training around injuries, improving strength and fitness, smashing some goals! I always love the sharing of ideas and stories too, we are building this community - it's so much more than exercise.

Enjoy your break, cant wait to see you ready and raring to go for Term 4!

Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there!

Friday chats (and fancy pants) 😎

Fun Finisher involving squats and paper, scissors rock ✋✌️👊
Always a laugh and competition can get a little fierce!

P.S. Thanks for drawing such great circles Natasha 🤣

The dice were nice. What came next? A bit of a challenge!

But that challenge included modifications for shoulder injuries, neck issues, SPD and knee issues - a fun challenge for everyone 💪🙌

Well done team, Happy Friday 😁

Do the mahi, get the treats 🍰

We dont always have cake after our sessions but we did today - just because!

Happy Friday team 😁

This 2017 Ted X talk by Claire Baker is well worth a watch. If you want some recommendations for pelvic health physios near by let me know!

Leaking is common but not normal. At Encompass Fitness leak free exercise is the name of the game!

Common...NOT Normal Poos, wees and s*x: Hard enough to talk about when things are going well!! Pelvic floor pain and discomfort is something many of us experience, but rarely talked about. Claire busts the veil of shame sitting over our relationship with our pelvis, and invites us to seek help if we need it.

I’m a sucker for a good quote. We always have a quote of the week on the board and we often talk about self talk. This is a goodie from Bruce Lee!

Start showing up for yourself, take the leap into being an active participant in your own health and well being.
Worried about where to start? I think movement is a great place to start.

Come along and try a class!

Yesterday it was mums in the mist thanks to the Auckland fog!

We played some peg tag before a tough session - luckily everyone was still smiling at the end 😃

You dont get the same boring workouts here - and yesterday there were lots of options on the board to accommodate for injuries.

If you're keen to come along for a no obligation, free trial class drop me a DM

It’s been so nice to see the sun this week ☀️☀️☀️

The sun was appreciated more than the froggers 🤣

2 weeks ago today we went out for High Tea 🍰
The mum chats were great - I love our little community. Its all about balance - squats AND scones! We've got it sussed!

And while I forgot to take pics of the team at least I remembered the food and cocktail...

What a way to start Matariki weekend ✨⭐️✨ No scheduled classes on a public holiday so we met up for Kaipatiki Stairs instead! Well done team - fantastic start to the day 😎💪
