Can you touch your toes??
Amy can! With her forehead..

Touching your toes isn’t just a party trick — it’s a sign of healthy hamstring mobility and overall flexibility.

Being able to comfortably forward fold helps:
✅ Prevent injuries by reducing strain on your lower back and legs
✅ Improve posture and movement quality in and out of the gym
✅ Keep your body moving freely as you train and live

Hamstring mobility = strength + freedom of movement. 🐒🌴

Can't touch your toes? You might be trapped in your own body! Come see us. We'll help liberate you..

How close can you get to your toes? 👣

The Benefits of Human Connection & Mobility Training

There’s something powerful that happens when you mix movement with connection.

When you train around good people — people who see you, support you, and give a s**t — you stop carrying everything on your own. You realise you're not meant to do life alone. That human connection is underrated — it builds trust, it calms the nervous system, and it reminds us that we’re not crazy for feeling what we feel.

And then there’s mobility — one of the most overlooked forms of training. Not about just being bendy. It's about freedom. Moving without restriction. Feeling strong and pain-free in everyday life. You build control, strength, and awareness in ways that regular training often misses. A mobile body moves better, recovers faster, and lasts longer.

Put those two together — connection and mobility — and you’re not just getting physically better. You’re resetting your system. You’re releasing stuck tension. You’re getting your power back!

This kind of training isn’t just about how you look. It’s about how you feel. How you move. How you show up in life, relationships, and under pressure. Dynamic, durable, maluble, resilient..

Quality training with quality humans isnt just about self-care, it’s self-respect.

Spicing up those hammies!!

Here are 5 powerful benefits of having strong and long hamstrings:

1. 🏃‍♂️ Improved Athletic Performance

Strong hamstrings generate explosive power for running, jumping, and sprinting. They’re key players in hip extension and knee flexion—core movements in most sports.

2. 🧘 Reduced Risk of Injury

Flexible and strong hamstrings help stabilize the knees and hips, reducing strain on joints and lowering your risk of:

Hamstring strains or tears

ACL injuries

Lower back pain

3. 🪵 Better Posture & Pelvic Alignment

Tight or weak hamstrings can tilt the pelvis backward (posterior pelvic tilt), leading to slouching and spinal discomfort. Balanced hamstrings support proper posture and spinal alignment.

4. 🧍‍♂️ Enhanced Movement & Mobility

Long hamstrings improve hip mobility and leg extension, making everyday movements—like bending, squatting, and walking—more fluid and less restricted.

5. 🏋️ More Strength in Key Lifts

Strong hamstrings are essential for:

Deadlifts

Squats

Lunges

They help you lift heavier, with better form, and avoid overloading your lower back.

So much value, so little effort! You'd be mad not to invest in longer, stronger hammies...

Every tribe has its Shaman..

The good human that's always listening and available without judgement. Giving credit where credits due and always setting a standard in the gym and getting the hard work done!

Thanks for being our medicine man, Shannon! Being an "ear" for the tribe is a sacrifice, a talent and a gift. You're a big part of our community and we're super stoked to be training with you.

Listening without judgement, with presence, truly is medicine for the people around us. ❤️

Chasing the elusive middle split..🧐

03/06/2025

getting those hip mobility gains.

Alizee's consistency is paying off. Gaining more range and strength over the last 6 Months has opened the door to new and exciting moves.

Progress in these areas is so rewarding. Being able to do something today that was unachievable yesterday acts as the perfect motivation.

Spending time in the basics, like this Taylor's pose, pay dividends when you apply that new range to more complex movement patterns.

Well done, Alizee! Keep kicking goals..

Coach demonstrating a quality example of Strength and Mobility combined. Taking joints to the end range, twisting them then hanging full bodyweight from them, takes time to master.

Time to prime the nervous system, strengthen and lengthen tendon and ligament and time to build enough muscle density to hold things together without breaking.

Hitting this level takes consistency, patience and trust in the process.

To get there, programming that works like a ladder is necessary. Start with a similar movement at a lower intensity, then another a little harder, a few more and voila! You're practicing the "meat hook" like Jesse!

Our Tribe❤️❤️❤️

It's always tough saying goodbye to a member of our tribe.
But it's nice to know Robbie left on a plane fitter, stronger, more mobile than when he arrived!

We will miss you Robbie!!

An Osteo, a gym owner/coach and an EP. There was nowhere for poor form to hide in last night's "Hand Balance" class!

Do you need to be a qualified practitioner and be able to stand on your hands to participate in this class? Nope. Wednesday's 6pm!

Come get involved.
