Ok let’s walk slowly because this might get messy!
Thankyou.
Thankyou doesn’t seem enough though.
Let’s try though…..

Firstly Thankyou to my husband Simon who has never doubted me once. He has my back on everything and is bloody handy to have around when you’re moving premises, installing filtered water lines, drilling, cutting, shifting, changing my mind again etc. Simon you are the backbone of our family and with you I am complete. You are my rock, my secrets keeper, my love and my inspiration.

But there are more thankyous to offer:

Thankyou to the single/FIFO Mums who came with their babies/kids and trusted me.
Thankyou to the anxious/neurodivergent/terrified people who trusted me.
Thankyou to those who have had bad fitness experiences for trusting me.
Thankyou to the men who came and gave every woman full respect and support.
Thankyou to those who brought me snacks.
Thankyou to the kids who reminded me how to play.
Thankyou to the pregnant women who shared their journey with me.
Thankyou to Mark and the VH Boxing Club for putting up with my crazy timetables.
Thankyou to every person who stepped through the doors for trusting me to help.
Thankyou to the OG peeps from back in the parks & beach workouts.
Thankyou to those who learned when I need a hug and when I need some support and taught me to accept help.

Thankyou to you all because you allowed me the greatest indulgence of all:
You enabled me to raise my kids my way..to never have to miss a sports day or an excursion, to always be able to come into class to listen to readers or work in the school garden, to be able to drop off and pick up and to simply have time with them.

So Thankyou.

❤️

Do you still have some passes loaded onto your profile but you train elsewhere now? Or maybe you’ve got too many pre-paid class passes you won’t use in the next 3 weeks? Why not either sell them to someone wanting to train or ”pay them forward” by donating them to the free pass collection?

Let me know if you’d like your leftover passes donated and I’ll pass them along to anyone wanting to come to classes over the next 3 weeks.

If you want to sell them on feel free to comment below and I’m sure a buyer will reply!

Let’s not let those passes go to waste!!!

**Classes tonight are 7pm Cardio Boxing and 7:30pm Bootayrobics. All welcome**

16/12/2022

How do you say goodbye? I’m not sure, but I’m going to give it a go.

For those who know me you will know that 2022 brought me exciting times with my first semester at Uni studying Nursing. 2022 also brought me (and many others) a lot of burn out and fatigue from 3 years of pivoting, pushing and persisting.

2023 marks 25 years of me being in the fitness industry. It marks 25 years of helping, of caring, of sharing, of listening and of keeping my mouth shut (what happens here stays here) 25 years of providing a safe space for those who didn’t fit the mould of what the commercial fitness industry expects.
25 years of bucking the system, saying no to TikTok validation and saying yes to real life hugs.

But now my time in the industry must take another detour. As my studies progress I will be veering away from the fitness industry and into the nursing/health field. My other work has offered me permanency in the care industry and I will be taking them up on that starting next week.
So that means I will be offering afternoon, evening and weekend PT and classes across Dec and Jan for everyone (men and women) to use up any remaining passes and after that I don’t honestly know how much involvement I will be able to add continue to offer. Our lease will finish up in end of January and I’ll be looking to sell off some of my equipment.
Maybe online sessions? Maybe outdoor sessions? Maybe PT in another location?

No promises will be made because you know that I hate to break a promise. From promising your babies that I’ll attend their dance shows to promising that I would bring back Bootayrobics..I pride myself on my follow through.

So no promises past January except that I will absolutely throw myself into my studies and become the best nurse that I can and that hopefully you never need.

Oh and also that there will be plenty of nostalgia photos and posts to come over the next 6 weeks or so and that I will ugly cry with every hug I get from each of you.

Thankyou for the memories and for enabling me to be the best mum I could for my babies.

Love Ali
