What are your fitness goals and are you practicing discipline to achieve them?

It’s been said that salt water can cure many things: Think sweat, 😰 tears, 😂 or the salt in the sea. 🌊

Each week is a new chance to set your trajectory for . 🚀

Mondays are great to increase your productivity and exercise motivation.

If you train on a Monday, it’s much more likely you’ll get three solid sweat sessions during the rest of that week. ✅✅✅🗓️

We’ve seen this and know it from experience… Skipping a Monday makes it easier to skip a Tuesday, a Wednesday and even a Thursday.

Which makes it hard to go on a Friday – when Friday afternoon is the work-out you absolutely don’t want to miss! 😃

Rounding off your week on a Friday afternoon gets you pumped for a great weekend, whether you’re going out for socials, 🍷🍺🥩🥧 attending a great show 🎤🎸🪩 or even just staying home. 🛋️📺

So remember: We’d LOVE to already see you on a Monday. 😁 It makes the other days of the week so much more … 🤸🏿🤸🏼‍♀️

We’ve all taken a few knocks in life and do the best we can to deal with it. 🤗🫂

Because of somatic memory (your body’s memory) tricky emotions get stored inside the body – in places like our muscle tissue. 💪🏽

As the psychiatrist Bessel van der Kolk terms this process – “The body keeps the score.” ✔️

Befriending your body is so important to cope with life’s challenges. It helps you recover a sense of ownership… So that you can use the healing power of your body to take charge and flourish. 👌🏻

You can regulate and restore your physiology: By moving... 🚶🏾‍♀️⬅️ By breathing…. 🧘🏾🫁

The body instinctively knows how to process hard times from the inside out and lead you safely home. 🏡🌄

Your mindset is your most powerful driver.

You use it to make choices that manifest as habits and form your lifestyle. 🏹 It’s the thing that gives you direction to achieve and succeed. 🛫🚀

Adopting a growth mindset 🌱🪴🌳 makes new and exciting things possible in your life.

"*Keep It Simple, Silly.

As humans, we’re super advanced and super complex beings – each busy with a unique life journey that sometimes feels more like a complicated marathon or a never-ending race. 🏃🏿‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️🏃🏽🏃🏼‍♀️

Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to take an hour out ⌚ with nothing else to worry about but finishing your workout. 🎾🤾🏾‍♀️

Tuning out of life’s complex demands while you tune into the physicality of your body helps your mind rest and reset. 🪐🧠

"Being a part of a is one of the most important reasons to join a gym. 🏋🏽‍♀️🤼⛹🏻‍♀️

Here’s one benefit for every day of the week. (A reason for every day except your Rest Day. Because then you’re on your own, buddy. Unless you invite us over for a meal.) 🍴🍷🍗🍖🥧🍠🥕🍰

1️⃣ Humour:

Between Sean, Maria, our enthusiastic trainers and our diverse clients, Phenomenal Fitness can be a really funny place sometimes. 😂

When working out alone, it’s easy to give up when things get hard. Having someone next to you 🧔🏽‍♂️👱🏻‍♂️👨🏾‍🦳 doing the same hard thing helps you to push harder and go further.

4️⃣ Support and belief:

Whether you’re working towards a pull-up or a push-up, some days it feels like you will never get there. The days you don’t want to see a soul and just give up are the days you need a the most.

At Phenomenal Fitness we believe in you and we always encourage you.

5️⃣ Fun:

Working out together, vibing on the same music, 🎵🎧 and getting your fist bumps and high fives 5️⃣ in is fun! Taking turns, tagging and turning up the speed together is fun.

"Going one step forward and two steps back can be frustrating when you’re trying to develop your fitness. 🏃🏾🤸🏻

But it happens. Because life happens. (Muscle soreness, bad weather, challenges at work, or just finding it hard to get your groove back at the beginning of a year.)

We nevertheless try not to squander the progress we make. The strength we acquired thus far is just too precious to let go.

So, when it gets hard – you take it slow but keep it steady. 🏊🏾🚣🏽‍♀️ That way you don’t give up. ➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️

You can’t control what happens in life, but you can choose to still show up for gym, do your warm-up routine, get on a machine and start a set.

Sure, it takes that little extra effort, but you deserve it.
