If you’ve been thinking about making a change to your health and fitness goals or just want to accelerate your results we highly recommend joining in on the 6 Week Shape Up Challenge. Hear from the trainers that have coached our previous winners on the best way to tackle the next 6 weeks and maximise your results.
Coach Connor
Connor (also known as Speedy) is one of our amazing trainers and helped coach Luke to victory!
What advice would you give someone looking to make a change to their physique?
Jump in with either a coach or training partner. Having someone else there to rely on and not let down is the biggest help. Even I have a coach, believe it or not!
In your experience, what’s the biggest hurdle people need to overcome?
Taking that first step to build routine. Specifically, setting aside time to get into the gym, or begin their fitness career. Once a routine is set, it’ll come naturally!
Client – Luke P. March ’23
- Challenge | March ’23
- Starting Weight | 84kgs
- Finishing Weight | 77.5kgs
Why did you decide to join the challenge?
I needed a push to loose those extra covid kgs from the last 3 years.
What made the biggest impact on your results?
The biggest impact for sure was the tailored training sessions, Conor was fantastic and I’m now using machines in the gym, I had no idea what they were when I started on my own.
What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?
Set achievable daily goals, little daily wins will get you to where you want to be.
Coach Paddi
Paddi (also known as Patrick, P. Diddy and Paddi the Baddy) is one of our amazing trainers and helped coach Steph to victory!
What advice would you give someone looking to make a change to their physique?
Get clear, commit and apply! When people are starting their fitness journey many don’t know where to start. Majority tend to hop on the social media train and begin random workouts. I find if you are organised with your programs you’ll have more motivation in each session. Committing tends to be the hard one. Fitness is more mental than anything. We are breaking old habits and replacing them with new ones, which for many adults it can be a difficult task. If you can power through the days where you lack motivation, the consistency will pay off in the end. Change doesn’t happen over night, it takes practice and diligence.
In your experience, what’s the biggest hurdle people need to overcome?
Patience and consistency. Consistency with your food and workouts. We live in a world of instant gratification. Its not like a haircut where you go in, get the service and leave feeling refreshed. Fitness takes time and effort. Everybody wants everything now, but if you can stop focusing on the end result and focus on the little wins that is where you’ll succeed. Yes we are aiming for the final goal, but in order to keep motivation alive you need to celebrate your little wins. Maybe your mobility has increased, maybe you’ve gotten stronger within the past two months or your clothes are fitting the way you want. The final product is a by-product of all of the ‘small’ accomplishments. Keep chipping away!
Client – Steph C. – December ’22
Starting Weight | 67.3kgs
Finishing Weight | 63.2kgs
Why did you decide to join the challenge?
I wanted to lose weight and 6 weeks seemed achievable to kick that off
What made the biggest impact on your results?
Tracking my food made me realise where I had been going wrong. I learnt how to eat without undoing my results and fit in going out occasionally.
What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?
Book in with a trainer! I couldn’t have done it without Patrick bringing the knowledge, motivation and fun to every session. Convince a friend to join you too so you can keep each other accountable
Coach Chris
Chris is one of our amazing trainers and helped coach Michael to victory!
What advice would you give someone looking to make a change to their physique?
Be consistent with your training. It will have it’s ups and downs, as long as you stick with it you’ll see the results you’re after. While setting is important, it’s more important to actually enjoy the journey. Those who find a way to enjoy their training always get better results than those trying to just grind it out.
In your experience, what’s the biggest hurdle people need to overcome?
People need to get super clear on their goals, and pick a program that’s focused on getting them there. For example, too often people want to get stronger, but then don’t want to follow through with the caloric surplus. The basic principals of training apply to everyone, and your training might have points of regression. Don’t let this discourage you, it’s just part of the process. Keep going!
Client – Michael B. – September ’22
Starting Weight | 89.5kgs
Finishing Weight | 81kgs
Why did you decide to join the challenge?
Post covid had let myself go a bit and needed to create better habits again.
What made the biggest impact on your results?
Consistency in attending classes. Good positive vibes of the sessions. Meal planning and restricting alcohol consumption.
What advice would you give someone looking to get started on their own challenge?
Hardest bit is stepping out the door. Every little bit counts. Don’t sacrifice everything, try and keep balance in your life so the change is more sustainable.
Coach Katrina
Katrina is one of our amazing trainers and helped coach Linh to victory!
What advice would you give someone looking to make a change to their physique?
As biased as it sounds having a Coach is honestly a gamechanger not only will they help guide you through all the rubbish information that is out there but they will get you to your results quicker and more sustainably. Not only that but the accountability and support you get is like no other.
In your experience, what’s the biggest hurdle people need to overcome?
People tend to overcomplicate things and jump from diet to diet program to program. If you just stuck to the basics and stayed consistent you would be surprised at what you can achieve. Don’t let one bad day turn into a bad week if you fall off track, don’t try and compensate the next day, just keep going.
