π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈThank you so much to the fab peeps who donated over the weekend to help me get closer to my $500 fundraising target. Sadly, I was not the winner of the Les Mills exercise gear to be able to pass on to one of you, but your money will go to such a great cause, so I'm very grateful.

I'm a TEENY TINY $9 from my target, and I did say that if I crack that $500 mark by the 18th (that means till midnight right? Surely!) I'll double my movement minutes goal... So, who's gonna take it over the lineπ

We're halfway through June, and I've almost met my sweat target! So if I can meet my fundraising target by the 18th, I'll DOUBLE my sweat goal. And I know what you might be thinking... I'm a coach, so it's easy for me to do it, right? But I have a lot of the same obstacles as anyone else, and it's really easy for me to put my own exercise on the back burner, as "less important. Having this cause to fundraise for gives me a reason to hit the gym or hit the pavement.
Please, if you can spare a few dollars, I'd really appreciate the support, and you'd get to see me finally challenge myself after a good 6 months of having to stay dialled down π

Happy Friday, team! As most of you who follow this page will know, every June I take part in Sweat With Pride, a fundraiser led by the Burnett Foundation Aotearoa to support our rainbow community in receiving life-saving mental & physical health care & support.
From 4pm today (Friday 12th June) to 4pm Sunday, every $48 raised will be an entry to win a Les Mills Accelerated Training Set worth over $750! For every person who donates (even if it's just a couple of bucks) over these 48 hours, if I were lucky enough to win it, I'd pass it on to one of you ;) Happy training at home, AMIRIGHT?

It's been a hot minute since I've done any meaningful strength training. There have been good reasons for it, but it's time to get back on the barbell again.
But...
I'm feeling a bit uninspired. I can't be faaaaaarked to programme for myself. So when another trainer that I like to follow posted her "Build Her Back" programme, I thought "F**k it, why not? Nat's back is haaaaawt π₯." And now I'm going to have an exceptional posterior chain in 8 weeks and all I have to do is show up. What a fu***ng win πͺ
Thanks , I'm excited!

It's officially my birthday month and that means I'm fundraising again for the Burnett Foundation's Sweat With Pride campaign, to support our Rainbow community accessing live saving health care. I do this annually to show solidarity for my Rainbow friends, whanau, clients, and colleagues who all deserve better in this current climate where so many are trying to erase their value in our society.
I'll be moving my body for at least 630 minutes this month (last year I doubled it π), and would really appreciate any amount you would be willing to give. I know times are tough in this economy, so even just a couple of bucks or sharing this post would mean the world

Got to be proud of another family member this week as well. The husband was recognised at the awards with Masters Athletes of the year after an exceptional track season which included breaking a national record set over 30 years ago. Absolute proud wife and kids in our house π
Many thanks for the unwavering support from Josh Komen , Don Greig , .caden and the whanau at πββοΈπͺ

The absolute best. This client has been training less than a month. AND WANTS TO GO TO THE GYM. Not because she has to, because she enjoys how it makes her feel.
As much as I enjoy celebrating all your outcome based successes, messages like this are why I do this job and why I don't think I'll ever give it up.

When your biggest mindset win is nothing like your imagined it would be. Coaches learn new things about themselves all the time as well π

Selling some aerobic bars. Some brands call them gravity bars. Great deal. Would consider selling individually, but prefer to keep them together.

Been a while since I wanted to lay all my gear out and stare at it for a bit π Got everything I need for a good day out in the Hawkes Bay tomorrow. Training has been pretty different this time around with a number of challenges to navigate, but I think I can honestly say, I'll never stop doing this. Even if I'm not always in "peak form".
