This week’s training tip comes from Personal Trainer and dual Olympian Justann Crawford:

Boxing is an explosive, anaerobic sport. The act of throwing punches, round after round, while contending with a pad partner, is the next best thing to real boxing. As a boxer, you must punch, slip and weave with split second movements and reactions. A boxer must be prepared to fight with intensity round after round. Your body will be conditioned to throw explosive punches from the start to the end. Come learn to box the right way.

Justann teaches the Thursday evening boxing class, or you if you would like to book him for one on one session please see reception.

Just a reminder that the GYM CHRISTMAS PARTY is coming up only a few Saturday’s away on December 8th!

This year we have decided to have a theme: Heroes. It does not have to be superheroes – your childhood or current Hero/Heroine will do just fine! So get thinking and prepare your costume. There will be prizes for both the best male and best female costume.

See You there on the night!

So you think fat burners are just for the girls?They are also fantastic for men wanting to shed that stubborn fat from around their stomachs by utilising it as an energy source. They help strip surface fat which hides good muscle definition and create that ripped look we all want.

So thermogenics combined with a protein powder is the quickest and most effective way to reduce fat and build muscle.

With Christmas and the silly season just around the corner, there are a couple of dates that need to go in your diary before it gets booked up.

First is the Balmain Fitness Christmas Party. This is a must to attend and is a great way of celebrating all the hard work throughout the year. It will be on Saturday 8th December from 7pm upstairs at the Town Hall Hotel on Darling St.

It is always a well attended function and a great way to meet other members who you may have seen in the gym but not had the chance to speak to. Phil Haig will as usual be providing the tunes and a good time will be had by all. Family and friends are most welcome, but do remember that numbers are limited by the size of the venue, so get there early. Hope to see you there!

For the younger members there is also the Gym Creche Party which will be held on  December 15th from  2:00pm to 4:00pm. There will be face painting, a clown and bouncy castle for entertainment plus refreshments to keep everyone going and having a good time. Due to the space, numbers are limited so bookings are essential. Please see reception if you would like to book your little ones in.
