Before adding more weight to the bar… fix the basics first 👏🏼

The back squat is one of the BEST exercises for building:
🏋🏼‍♀️ Lower body strength
🍑 Glutes
🔥 Quads
💪🏼 Core stability

✅ What good form should look like:
• Bar sitting securely across upper back
• Feet around shoulder width apart
• Brace your core before every rep
• Chest lifted with a neutral spine
• Hips and knees bend together
• Knees track over toes
• Hit depth YOU can control
• Drive through the full foot to stand up

❌ Common mistakes:
• Knees collapsing inwards
• Heels lifting off the floor
• Losing tension at the bottom
• Folding forwards excessively
• Looking too far up or down
• Rushing reps
• Squatting without bracing properly

Think of it like this:
🛠️ “Brace first, then squat.”

A good squat should feel strong and controlled — not like you’re fighting to stay upright 😅👏🏼

Don’t chase weight at the expense of form. Strong basics build strong lifts 💪🏼

Still need help with your form or unsure where to start? Book in for an Activate session with a member of our fitness team and let us help you build confidence, improve technique, and get the most out of your training 💪🏼

MEET THE TEAM 👋🏼

Say hello to Mitch 👋🏼

Mitch is one of the newer members of the team, but he’s actually worked with us before — so some of you may already recognise him! 💪🏼

You’ll usually find him in the gym on Thursdays leading our Functional Training sessions, helping members improve strength, fitness, and overall conditioning 🔥

Be sure to say hi if you see him around the centre 👏🏼

Never tried a wall ball before? 👀
Don’t worry — they’re tougher than they look… but SO good for full body fitness 🔥

We’ve got NEW wall ball equipment in the gym 💪🏼

Wall balls are a full body movement that combine:
🏋🏼‍♀️ Legs
🔥 Core
💪🏼 Shoulders
❤️ Cardio & conditioning

✅ How to do a wall ball:
• Hold the ball at chest height
• Feet around shoulder width apart
• Squat down keeping chest lifted
• Drive up explosively through the legs
• Throw the ball towards the target/wall
• Catch softly and flow straight into the next rep

❌ Common mistakes:
• Throwing with arms only
• Letting knees cave in
• Not using leg drive
• Standing too close to the wall
• Catching stiff instead of absorbing the ball

Think of it like this:
⚡ “Legs drive the throw — arms just guide it.”

They’re brilliant for:
🔥 Conditioning
🏃🏼‍♀️ Fitness & endurance
💪🏼 Power
❤️ Getting your heart rate UP fast

Start light, focus on rhythm, and don’t underestimate them 😅👏🏼

Still need help with your form or unsure where to start? Book in for an Activate session with a member of our fitness team and let us help you build confidence, improve technique, and get the most out of your training 💪🏼
