Welcome back to another Oxygen Health & Fitness Weekly Wrap.
This awesome atmosphere at training has continued this week as Fitness Assessments were completed and Strength Training for Kiama Spartan Training Club and Fit Chicks Club Kiama officially begins. The intensity at our Conditioning sessions has also continued and performance levels have been insane .
Now that we have our Goals in place and we’ve all identified our Number One Priority for next week, let’s keep up this momentum that we’ve started and charge into the year ahead.

What’s Been Happening?
Strength training resumes
Our first real crack at Kiama Strength & conditioning this year has seen everyone working at around 70% of their 1RM on the core lifts of Incline Press, Squats and Trap Bar Deadlifts. We’ve also got back in the groove of performing those Neutral Grip Chin Ups which, as hard as they are seems to be an exercise that everyone enjoys, or at least wants to get better at.
Technique has been the focus but the workloads have proved quite challenging but achievable. This early emphasis on quality work and technique, is important as volume and increased weights will follow in the weeks to come. We are all set for a big year ahead and I can’t wait to see the improvements.
Assessments complete
This first week and a half has seen some comprehensive Fitness Assessments in Kiama covering Girth Measurements, Body Fat, Functional Movement ability, Bodyweight Strength and 1RM testing on both the Squat and Incline Press. We added to that this week with some S.M.A.R.T Goal Setting so the everyone could translate the assessment data into some Short and Long Term Goals as well as a Plan for the year ahead.
The Assessment process may have taken a little longer than I expected, but I’m glad we all took the time to go through everything and I believe I have now developed an excellent system for all new clients that join Oxygen in the future.We will go through this Full Assessment again in your Groups every 12 weeks but we will re-measure Girth Measurements every 6 weeks. If you miss one of these important Assessments and you would like to catch up, you can book in for a Private Assessment for $87 at a time convenient to you.
