Lifting with Lyndsay

Follow the plan

Following a workout program can help you make progress and the most of your time in the gym.
Structured programs can help you work on your form when you’re a beginner in the gym, and build mind to muscle connection.
Tracking progress is easier when you’re doing the same program over a period of time. It allows you to increase reps, sets and weight to see a visible difference in your body composition.
An evidenced based program designed by a professional can guarantee results. It means when you go into the gym you know what to expect and you’re not wasting time wandering around guessing what to do next.

Showing up:
Sometimes the hardest part of a gym session.
It’s easy enough to find excuses not to get your session done.
Work, chores, tired? There will always be a reason not to do it.

Look at it this way
Monday morning comes around and you have the dread of going to work this week, you have deadlines to meet and you have to make small talk with colleagues you have nothing in common with but it’s all for the greater good right?
The wage at the end of the month.

Now change ‘work’ for ‘gym’:
You get instant gratification from the endorphins, good chat with people in the class that have shared interests and then there’s the greater good; lose weight, gain strength and improve long term health and independence.

Going to the gym shouldn’t be something you HAVE to do, it should be what you WANT to do. And if it’s not, maybe you’re not doing it right.

👀 If you’ve wondered what my classes look like, here’s a sneak peak. I can’t promise they’ll all be as hilarious as this one but I can promise you’ll feel the burn and enjoy it.

🎤 I had a mic’d up session with my OG, Lynn on mic 2 whilst trialing our new total body burn class on a Thursday afternoon.

Solo session vs Gym buddy session

Going to the gym by yourself can be productive; quick, no distractions, in and out

But

Going with your best friend can take it to another level.
Yes. We took 35 mins longer, however having someone to push you to push yourself is something else.
I lifted 1033kg heavier and hit 2 PBs.
We laughed, we caught up on the tea from the week and we encouraged each other through the last difficult reps.

It’s not competition or comparison.
It’s accountability & support.

🚨 NEW CLASS 🚨

Got 45 minutes to yourself? Make them count. 🔥

If your day is busy from the minute you wake up, finding time to exercise can feel impossible.

School pick-up comes around. Work finishes. The evening disappears. And that workout you were going to do… never happens.

That’s exactly why I’ve created Total Body Burn.
Every Thursday at 12:30pm, a 45-minute, instructor-led full-body workout designed to get you moving, working hard and feeling good, without needing to find time at the end of your day.

Perfect for your lunch break, a WFH reset or while the kids are at school.

45 minutes. Full body. Done.

📍 Thursdays | 12:30pm
🔥 Total Body Burn
💪 Work at your own pace, but expect to sweat!

Your afternoon is still yours. Your workout is already done.
