FIT BY STAN

01/12/2017

Hey guys,
In Feb a few friends and I are going on a pretty epic kayaking and climbing mission..

We’ll be the first team in the world to kayak and climb across Bass Strait. Our team of four will combine two adventure disciplines as we paddle 325km across one of the worlds most notorious stretches of ocean while stopping along the way to explore and establish rock climbing first ascents on remote, un-climbed, granite sea cliffs.

We will re-visit some of the only known rock climbing routes in the middle of the Bass Strait which were established by a group of Australian climbers in 1990 – many which have never seen a repeat.

We will also be making an adventure film of our journey which we will submit into adventure film festivals around the world! As part of the message of the film, we will be collecting data on plastic waste, discussing how it effects marine environments and how consumers can make changes in their lives to reduce the amount of plastic they use. We aim to inspire others to get outside, push their limits, be explorers, and take care of the Earth.

The expedition will bring together a hand-picked team from Australia and USA including rock/bike/ice/kayak guides, adventurers, a master of puns, and an experienced film maker/sea kayak guide from Alaska!

Our team is currently seeking partners/sponsors for the trip - if you would like to partner with our world first expedition, know someone who may be a good fit, or would like help out please reach out! For more info check out the video in this post and then our website (links below).

UPDATE: - STAN IS BACK!

GROUP FITNESS AND FREE SATURDAY OBSTACLE TRAINING

One of my aims since starting FIT BY STAN is to get people moving and exercising, not just for health and aesthetic purposes (they naturally happen as they are a bi-product of exercise and nutrition anyway), but to help people find ways to enjoy movement and training because it’s fun and opens up opportunities to experience the world, live a fulfilling life, and do anything you choose. I believe that: When you are FIT, creativity is your only limitation.

This has now lead me to Elite Performance Gym where I am now taking up a role as one of the head coaches and co-creator of a brand new training system which has been designed to address and improve important areas of fitness which we believe are greatly neglected in our industry.

If you’re a person who’s always wanted to: move well, get back from an injury or decrease your risk of sustaining one, learn a new and exciting ways to train, develop strength across a variety of different modalities (gymnastics, calisthenics, circus arts, primal & animal movement, weightlifting, tactical ability, coordination, balance), challenge yourself physically and mentally, and develop conditioning through a variety of hybrid and non-structural training styles.

If this sounds like something that interests you, or you would like to find out more call me on 0432 414 285, send me a message, or come down to elite performance gym (unit 3/17 Neumann Rd, Capalaba) this Friday at 7pm for an information night.

Also, as of this Saturday I will be coaching FREE Obstacle Race Training at Elite Performance Gym in Capalaba (every Saturday 6am) to help promote the sport of obstacle racing, help people discover new fun ways of training and develop a level of fitness, coordination, and confidence to approach any challenge you put your mind to.

Hi Everyone,

As of April 15th there will be no more Bootcamp at the Raby Bay Foreshore. I’ve decided that I will be going all in to continue to follow my dream in competitive sports and Obstacle Course Racing (OCR).

FUTURE SESSIONS: I will still be taking personal training sessions, and casual group sessions. These are available on a casual and weekly basis. Please contact if interested.

Because of my background, results, and passion for OCR I will also be involved in training people for Obstacle Course Racing (Spartan Race, Tough Mudder, True Grit etc.) as a specialist trainer from beginners to elite level. Keep an eye out for workshops, programming, and future training sessions!

Obstacle Course events are a goal to work towards, and test all components of fitness to make sure you are well rounded. OCR training has heaps of variety so your training never gets boring, it’s also a great way to challenge yourself physically and mentally. Keep an eye out for workshops, programming, and future training!

It has been a pleasure working with you all over the last two years, and I’m very proud to see the positive changes you have made to your fitness, lifestyles, and body composition. I love seeing your passion for exercise, expanding your comfort zone, and trying new things.

One of the big reasons I started bootcamps/group fitness was to have a group of people who would help each other get stronger simply by training together and being in each other’s presence. Many of you have discovered new interests, challenges, and training methods simply by sharing your story and inspiring each other. Iron Sharpens Iron. You’ve also inspired me.

I look forward to seeing you all develop in the future, and continue working with some of you to achieve your goals. Over the next few months I will be developing some training focusing on Obstacle Course Racing so keep an eye out and stay in touch!!

Refunds will be given for uncompleted sessions from April 15th 2015 (based on the per session rate for that payment method).

If you have any questions. Feel free to get in touch. I appreciate the support from all of you!
Talk to you soon!!

Stan
