Training for climbing.

April 15, 2021

In any physical activity, the more controllable ranges of motion available will mean you will possess more movement opportunities. In this case in the world of rock climbing, if you don’t have enough hip mobility to step to the next foot hold on a scattered rock face then you don’t have that option to use that opportunity, and you’ll need to figure out another route, which can result in unnecessary energy, strength and time spent.

Marianne conquered her fear of returning to lead climbing that happened because of her consistent effort in the gym developing an overall increase in general strength and mobility. Now, our current program has become more specific towards the demands of climbing in order for her to be even more successful in facing more difficult climbs.

The possibilities become endless when we aim to continue to expand our current capabilities, this applies not only in the gym, but to everything we do in life.

IT’S NOT JUST BUSINESS, IT’S PERSONAL

March 24, 2021
For 15 years I’ve been focused on helping local working mums, dads, business owners and seniors improve their health. Inspiring them to do the things they thought were impossible, like run a marathon, complete a spartan race or hike a mountain.
In the past 3 years, and especially this past year with our growing family and the world pandemic, the work we do has evolved to mean so much more. Now I’m a husband and Dad. Those roles I get to play mean the world to me.
And I have a whole new level of awareness and understanding around what it means to be a busy parent, juggling the roles we play at home, at work, and doing our best to take care of ourselves and those we get to love on the journey.
It’s hard. Anyone who tells you they’ve got it all figured out isn’t being honest with you or themselves. Every day we face new challenges and get the opportunity to grow and be transformed into something more… if we’re willing to accept the gift of strength that meeting those challenges brings us.
The best is yet to come.

Georges River Council hosted  an International Women’s Day breakfast event at Club Central to celebrate successful business women in the Georges River region.  Our guest speakers were Georges River Business Owners: Philippa Aslanis, Katherine Blizard and Sarah Cummings  who generously shared their stories to a full house.

Georges River offers the opportunity for enterprise and lifestyle with access to commercial, and residential offerings. Our rail connections, proximity to the airport and the Sydney CBD make Georges River a great place to live, visit, invest and grow. In particular, Georges River offers women a place of opportunity where a balance of work and life can be achieved.

Proceeds of the ticket sales was close to $3,000 and will be donated to The Women’s Refuge Centre.

Thanks to all who joined us, and Council looks forward to an even better event in 2021.
