The heat and humidity has hit with fury in November! We get to enjoy more daylight, more heat, more energy more fun! With that we’ve got to listen more intently to our bodies as we will dehydrate quicker and be distracted by the busy holiday season and lifestyle of late nights, food and drinks. If you listen to your body when it whispers you won’t have to hear it scream. Be aware to increase water intake, aim for quality sleep and eat whole foods. This will ensure maximum energy levels, bounce back and real human interactions.

Before we get too carried away with the Christmas season, I’d like to say thank you for all your time energy and support. We’ve had a fun year, let’s finish it off with positive energy!

We can’t wait to see you…

• HIIT style circuit
• Class max 4 people
• $50 per person

STAYING HYDRATED

As the temperature goes up in Summer water intake MUST go up also. Optimum cardiovascular performance, metabolism and general health require require optimum water intake.

What to aim for per day…. 1 glass of water per 7 kilograms of bodyweight. I.e. if you weigh 70kg that means you drink 10 glasses (approx. 2.5 litres) of water per day.  

Like anything in life, the more you focus on something the better it gets (and the less you focus on something the quicker it deteriorates). Bring a little thought and focus to your water intake over the next couple of months, you’ll be amazed how different you feel.

LOST PROPERTY

Over the course of the year, we have slowly accumulated towels jumpers, jewellery and water bottles.

If you a have lost/left items here please feel free to see us at the reception counter to see if it has been collected.

All lost property not collected by the 10th December will be donated to charity.

Welcome Sunshine and Rain!

It’s amazing how a little more sunshine in the morning and evenings can change our the mood and energy day to day. If you have been making it to the gym throughout cold dark winter days then this is now a breeze! If you dropped off a little during the cold and dark then NOW is the best time to get back on the wagon. 

One thing that we @Ruben’s are constantly working on, is creating a long lasting positive habit around exercise. For the next 6 months we have the best opportunity to build momentum and healthy habits and they should carry us through the next winter.

Winter can be a metaphor for change/turmoil in our lives as well. The habit of healthy exercise patterns means that your body/mind can stay healthy during trauma, illness, stress, heartache…

One of the greatest challenges is keeping your health as a high priority. AND if you lose sight for a while, don’t beat yourself up, just get back into it!

The flowers don’t grow without the rain…

We can’t wait to see you…

An opportunity to get together…

At the core of any happy community there is a shared hardship and shared goals towards greater good.

Whether you have participated in the Clean Slate journey or you are looking for an opportunity to get together with fellow gym members. @Ruben’s we are lucky to have a uniquely exciting energy. As a celebration of the ultimate team effort all members @Ruben’s are invited to The Henson for a social gathering.

With gratitude,

Ruben and the Team.

Winter is Coming!

As the days grow shorter and cooler. Now is the time to consolidate habits, that will get you through the coldest and darkest mornings/evenings. We all know that once you’re at the gym you feel good and achieve a great workout. The challenge is getting your shoes on, getting out of the house and getting in the front door of the gym.

Taking awareness to your own self talk, will help. You might hear yourself “telling a story” as to why you didn’t make it to the gym… (Ran out of time, no energy, too cold, too tired, too bored, too old… ). I like to refer to these as mental softeners. A way to make yourself feel ok for not following through. It’s simply a way to rationalise why we didn’t do something that we said we would do/something that we wanted to do. These stories come out whenever the going gets tough. And the reality is, you can 100% count on the going to get tough!
If you have been consistent throughout the last 6 months, as soon as your motivation gets low you will fall back onto the underlying habit that you have built. Of course if you have not been consistent with your exercise/nutrition habits, this can work against you!!! You will simply fall back onto your underlying habit that you have built…Whatever that may be (hopefully not too destructive).

We can’t wait to see you…
