Your life depends on it!
Being a few weeks into Winter now, the weathers obviously getting cooler. It’s not that bad, I mean we don’t live in Melbourne but the coldest is still to come I suppose.

Being the last week of summer we're obviously looking at lower temperatures over the next 6 months. I've had a few clients, friends and even curious onlookers ask me what we do in the cooler conditions of autumn and winter. Well I'm here to tell you, NOTHING CHANGES! In the rain, we still train.

Summer is here! Can you believe it? Here we are in December already – almost another year gone. If your year has been anything like mine, it’s probably felt very quick and very busy at the same time. 2010 promises to be an exciting year, I can’t wait! Before 2009 comes to an end there’s still plenty happening. Tomorrow we have our second instalment of Fitness Age Testing at 6:30am … [Read more...]
We have a great new initiative this weekend for all our Group Training clients with the introduction of Fitness Age testing. FitnessAge is a fitness assessment that health professionals use to guide an individual through a series of physical tests, record the results, and then calculate that persons "FitnessAge". There is no magic formula here, rather, just a new way of looking at the industry … [Read more...]
Sunday 11th October saw the Official Launch of Oxygen Health & Fitness. The festivities kicked off at Hindmarsh Park Kiama where 20 people boarded the Oxygen Mini Bus bound for Werri Lagoon.

The crowd was huge, the views were … [Read more...]

It's exceedingly easy to be consumed by the responsibilities of life and it's really easy to tell yourself that one more day … [Read more...]
