When you’re saying goodbye to the big, custom climbing frame that was designed and fabricated by Matt, his dad and his uncle, was one of the central pieces of the Stage 6 playground, and a piece that saw so many first pull ups, first monkey bars, first laches, first 2m depth jumps, helped people conquer some fears of heights and was also responsible for the odd blister/callous or two.... and just before it drives out the driveway to go to it’s new home, Matt points out the “MR 4 AC” that had been tagged into one of the top corners waaaay back when we opened...

Enjoy your new playground ! We hope you love it as much as we did 🥰

When you don’t have an EWP on hand, you improvise with a couple of vault boxes, some cardboard to make em steady, and a crash mat just in case 😉

Fitness can and should be about so much more than what you look like or how many kilos you’ve shifted. What are you capable of? What do you WANT to be capable of?

Almost 6 years ago to the day, we opened the doors to Stage 6 (swipe right to see those two fledgling, fresh faced and oh-so-naive small business owners 😂). And here we are, with slightly more baggage in tow (a toddler, a dog and another bub about to make their appearance), packing up the memories and getting ready to close down at the end of this week.

Damn, it’s been a wild ride. We’re so grateful to all the souls who have darkened our door over the years. We hope that we’ve taught our clients a thing or two about themselves and what they’re capable of; rest assured that this journey and the people we’ve met along the way have taught us a whole lot about ourselves and what we’re capable of.

It’s the end of an era for us, and we’re sad to say goodbye to the place and the community we’ve pretty much called home for the last six years. This was our first real business venture and while we worked a lot, stressed a lot and made a bucket tonne of mistakes, we couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of people to meet along the way. We always wanted Stage 6 to be a community first and foremost - and in that we feel we truly succeeded.

We’re very excited for our next chapter, but there are so many things about Stage 6 that we’ll miss. The coffees, the chats, the laughs, the Friday night beers, the Christmas parties, the camping trips, the games nights, the BJJ gradings, Esme and Mo running around the gym and getting loved and looked after by everyone, people learning that they “can” when they thought they couldn’t - all of these memories will stay with us for life. Thanks to all of you for being part of the Stage 6 story 🥰🥰
