Are you still stuck chasing the "It's not working for me."
"This isn't happening fast enough."
"I'm doing X, Y and Z for nothing."

That's what I call the bullsh*t phase.

What do you mean it's not working?

Because you don't look like the airbrushed, Photoshopped person in the social media reel you watched?

Let's get something straight.

You will only ever look like you.. and that's exactly how it should be.

Can you change your physique? Absolutely. With consistency, hard work, good nutrition, and finding what works for your body, you'll change.

But stop treating exercise like it's something you do until you get the result, then quit.

That's not how this works.

Exercise is forever.

Lifting weights is forever.

Why?

Because muscle isn't just about looking good.

Muscle helps you get out of a chair without struggling.
It helps you carry your groceries.
It helps you keep up with your kids and grandkids.
It helps you stay independent as you age.
It helps protect your bones, your joints, your metabolism, and your quality of life.

The goal was never to "finish."

The goal is to build a body that keeps showing up for you every single day.

Stop chasing an end date.

Start building a lifestyle.

Because the people who see lasting results aren't the ones looking for a finish line.

They're the ones who realised there isn't one.

Exercise isn't a punishment.
It's an investment in the rest of your life.

Now ask yourself...

Are you training for summer...
or are you training for the next 30 years?

Great work EXNZ!

ExerciseNZ has released the country’s first-ever White Paper focused entirely on physical activity and prevention, calling on all political parties to back four practical reforms that could improve health, reduce pressure on the healthcare system, and boost productivity.

The evidence is clear that physical inactivity is costing New Zealand billions every year, but the White Paper argues the solution isn’t more awareness, it’s action.

“The question is no longer whether we have a problem, it’s what we’re prepared to do about it.”

Read the release, and share within your networks: https://www.exercise.org.nz/industry-news/

I'm on the lookout to build a strong network of locally owned, independent businesses who believe in supporting each other and putting people before profits. ❤️

I'm looking to connect with:
• Physiotherapists
• Pelvic Floor Physiotherapists
• Massage Therapists
• Beauty & Facial Therapists
• Cleaners

If you're passionate about what you do, genuinely care about your clients, and aren't currently partnered with or referring through franchise gyms or exclusive referral networks, I'd love to have a chat.

At Bad Ass Training, I work with a large number of people every week and am regularly asked for recommendations. Rather than sending my clients to the biggest name, I'd rather recommend hardworking local business owners who share the same values of quality, honesty, and exceptional service.

The idea is simple...
You scratch our back, we'll scratch yours.

Let's promote each other's businesses, display each other's information, refer clients with confidence, and build a network that strengthens our local community.

This isn't about competition. It's about creating a trusted circle of independent local businesses that genuinely support one another and provide the very best service for our community.

I'm all about supporting local, and I'm looking for businesses that share that same vision. When small businesses work together, everyone wins, especially our clients.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, send me a message or tag an amazing local business owner below. I'd love to connect and see how we can work together. 💪🩷

🌟 What Would the New You Tell the Old You? 🌟

This week we're starting a brand new series that reminds us all just how far we've come.

Sometimes it's easy to forget the person who nervously walked through our doors for the very first time. The self doubt. The pain. The uncertainty. The "Can I really do this?" feeling.

This week, we're celebrating Georgie J❤️

At 81 years young, Georgie first walked into Bad Ass Training on 6 June 2025.

When I asked her what she would say to the Georgie who walked through our doors that very first day, her answer was simple...

💬 "Why didn't you come here sooner?"

Why?

Because since that day Georgie has:
⭐ Lost 3 dress sizes
⭐ Gone from living with constant pain to feeling absolutely amazing
⭐ Replaced tears with laughter and smiles
⭐ Never missed a single personal training session
⭐ Trains with me **twice every week**
⭐ Never complains.
⭐ Never makes excuses.
⭐ Just shows up and gives it her best.

I'll never forget our first consultation. Georgie was in constant pain and in tears. Looking at her now, it's hard to believe it's the same woman.

This is why we do what we do.

It's never just about losing weight. It's about getting your life back.

Georgie, you inspire every single one of us. We love you, we're incredibly proud of you, and we can't wait to see what you achieve next. ❤️💪

👇 We'd love to hear from everyone else...
If you could go back and talk to the person who first walked through our doors, what would you say to them?

🏋️‍♀️ 5 Things I'm Absolutely LOVING Right Now ❤️

1: These crisp winter mornings. ❄️☀️
Yes, they're freezing... but those clear blue skies and epic sunrises are worth every chilly start.

2. My family. ❤️
Always number one. Time with them is everything.

3. Training pain-free. 💪
Being able to move my body without pain is something I'll never take for granted. Every workout is a gift.

4. St Pierre's Sushi. 🍣
If sushi is wrong... I don't want to be right. 😂 It's my comfort food!

5. Watching people realise they're stronger than they ever believed.
Whether it's their first pole climb, first bungee class, first push-up, or simply walking through the gym doors... that's why I do what I do.

🤣 5 Things I'm REALLY Not Loving Right Now...

1. Bad coffee. ☕
If it tastes like burnt disappointment... we're going to have a problem.

2. Running. 🏃‍♀️😂
I've done it. I've tried to love it. I still don't. Give me a killer leg day, pole class or bungee session any day of the week!

3. The online world sometimes. 📱
Everyone has an opinion, everyone's suddenly an expert, and kindness seems to have taken a holiday.

4. Laziness.
Not because everyone has to be an athlete, but because showing up and giving something a go beats excuses every single time.

5. Bad music. 🎶
A rubbish playlist can ruin a perfectly good workout.

Before anyone races to the comments... 😅

If you disagree with anything on my list, that's completely okay. I genuinely love that for you. We're all allowed to like different things and dislike different things. That's what makes us unique. The world would be pretty boring if we all enjoyed the same workouts, food, music and opinions.

⚠️ WARNING: There are no wrong answers... unless you tell me instant coffee is better than café coffee, or that running is more fun than pole, bungee, or leg day. Then we might have to agree to disagree... with a laugh! 😂☕🏋️‍♀️

👇 Your turn!

❤️ One thing you're loving right now.
🤦‍♀️ One thing you're completely over.

Let's see if we've got some common ground... or if we're about to start the friendliest debate on Facebook! 😆

💥 Credit Where Credit Is Due 💥

I'm starting something new.

Every week I'll be giving a shout out to a locally owned business. Not the big franchises. Not the corporations.

I'm talking about the businesses built by one hardworking person, a family, or a small team with a vision, a dream, and a genuine passion for helping people.

The ones who open the doors early, stay late, wear every hat imaginable, and keep showing up even when times are tough.

Lately, I've been seeing more empty shops around town, and it's becoming a reminder that supporting local isn't just a nice idea anymore. It's becoming essential.

These businesses aren't just selling a product or service. They're creating jobs, supporting local families, sponsoring community events, giving back, and helping keep our towns alive.

So each week I'll be highlighting a local business that I believe is making a real difference. Businesses that lead with passion, integrity, and community before profit.

Because when one local business succeeds, our whole community is stronger.

If you know a local business that deserves some recognition, tag them below. Let's celebrate the people who keep our community ticking. ❤️🖤
