🏆 We Won! Community Partner of the Year 2025

Awarded by the Mai-Wel Group

Our Community Gym was honoured on Friday night to receive the Community Partner of the Year award from the Mai-Wel Group — and I’m incredibly proud to share this moment with you.

For the past three years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting Mai-Wel clients through special-needs fitness sessions that focus on movement, confidence, connection and fun.
Seeing their courage, growth, personality, and willingness to try new things has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career.

This award isn’t just mine — it belongs to every participant, parent, carer and support worker who has trusted me with their clients’ wellbeing.
It also reflects the heart of Elevate Esteem Training: creating safe, inclusive spaces where people of all abilities can feel stronger, more capable, and more connected — inside and out.

Thank you to the Mai-Wel Group for recognising the importance of adaptive, accessible fitness, and for the opportunity to be part of your community.
And thank you to everyone who supports what we do through trust, encouragement, and showing up each week ready to move and grow.

This win belongs to all of us. 💜

💜 LAKE MACQUARIE – POWER OVER PARKINSON’S

Try Your First Session 1-on-1 for Just $15

Starting something new can feel overwhelming — especially when living with Parkinson’s.
That’s why we’re offering a private introductory session for just $15 (the group rate) to help you experience the program at your own pace, without any pressure.

Today we welcomed Phillip for his first $15 intro session — and he did incredibly well.
He took his time, learned the movements, asked questions, and walked out more confident than he walked in.
The best part?
Phillip has already booked his next session for next week.
A great reminder that sometimes the first step is the most powerful one.

Our Power Over Parkinson’s Boxing & Movement Program is designed to support:
✔ balance & coordination
✔ posture and mobility
✔ cognitive stimulation
✔ confidence & emotional wellbeing
✔ strength through adaptable pad work, bodyweight, and resistance exercises

Your first 1-on-1 session allows you to:
✨ learn the movements safely
✨ understand how the program supports symptoms
✨ ask questions freely
✨ build confidence before joining the group

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or years into the journey, you’re welcome here — all ages, all fitness levels, all stages of Parkinson’s.

If you’d like to book an intro session or chat about whether the program is right for you, I’m always happy to talk.

🎯 It’s Not Just Effort — It’s the Right Kind of Effort

We’re often told that hard work pays off.
But the truth is… effort alone doesn’t guarantee the result you want.

If you want to become a great tennis player, swimming five days a week won’t get you there — even if you work incredibly hard.
Why?
Because success isn’t just about how much effort you put in…
It’s about whether that effort is aligned with the result you want.

In fitness, wellbeing, confidence, or life in general:

✨ Want to feel stronger?
Choose movement that builds strength.

✨ Want better balance or mobility?
Choose exercises that develop those skills.

✨ Want more confidence?
Choose actions that challenge you safely and build small wins.

✨ Want better mental clarity or calm?
Choose movement that supports your mind, not overwhelms it.

You don’t need MORE effort.
You need the RIGHT effort — the kind that moves you toward the outcome you’re hoping for.

So take a moment this week to check in with yourself:
Are my actions aligned with my goals?
If not, a small shift might make all the difference.

And if you need guidance on where to start, we’re here to help you turn effort into progress — and progress into confidence 💜

🌿 SUNDAY RESET: Choose Movement That Supports Your Wellbeing

As a new week approaches, here’s your reminder:
You don’t need to chase perfection — just choose movement that supports you.

Movement that matches your energy.
Movement that feels safe, achievable, and calming.
Movement that builds confidence, not pressure.

✨ Choose movement that helps you feel clearer, not overwhelmed
✨ Choose movement that supports your body and mind
✨ Choose movement that fits you — not anyone else’s expectations

Whether it’s boxing fitness, anxiety-friendly training, special needs programs, seniors balance work, or a simple walk — the right movement is the one that makes you feel better, not stressed.

This week, give yourself permission to move at your pace, in your way.
We’re here across Long Jetty • Lake Macquarie • Maitland to help you feel stronger inside and out 💜

🥊 BOXING FITNESS – BUILD STRENGTH, CONFIDENCE & WELLBEING

Looking for a way to move that feels energising, empowering, and supportive?
Our Boxing Fitness sessions are designed for all fitness levels — no experience needed, no pressure, no egos. Just progress at your own pace.

🌿 Wellbeing Benefits of Boxing

Boxing-style training is more than just a workout — it’s powerful for both body and mind. The impact and resistance components help stimulate bone strength, while footwork and coordination drills improve balance, mobility, and joint stability.
On the mental side, boxing boosts focus, emotional regulation, and stress release, helping calm the mind and build resilience. Regular structured exercise is also linked to improved cognitive health, potentially helping reduce the risk of dementia later in life.
It’s fitness that leaves you feeling clearer, stronger, and more in control — inside and out.

💪 Physical Benefits

✔ Improves strength and conditioning
✔ Builds coordination & footwork
✔ Increases cardio fitness & stamina
✔ Enhances balance and body awareness
✔ Supports healthy weight management

💜 Mental & Emotional Benefits

✔ Reduces stress and anxiety
✔ Builds confidence through small wins
✔ Sharpens focus and concentration
✔ Boosts mood and motivation
✔ Creates a sense of personal achievement

If you're looking to start fresh, build your confidence, or simply find a fun way to move — boxing might be your perfect fit.

TEEN ANXIETY BOXING PROGRAM

Not every teen feels confident stepping into a sports team…
Not every teen feels comfortable in busy environments…
And not every teen needs “more pressure” — they need support, structure, and a safe place to build confidence.

That’s exactly why our Teen Anxiety Boxing Program exists.

Our sessions are designed specifically for teens who experience:
💭 Anxiety
💭 Low confidence
💭 Social overwhelm
💭 Difficulty with traditional sport environments

In this program, teens learn how to:
✨ Build confidence through small wins
✨ Improve focus, emotional regulation & body awareness
✨ Develop resilience at their own pace
✨ Move in a space that feels safe, calm & supportive
✨ Have fun while learning real skills — with zero pressure

There’s no sparring and no head contact — just structured pad work, movement games, and skill-building activities that help teens feel stronger inside and out.

If your teen needs somewhere to belong, grow, and feel capable… this might be their place. 💛

Spaces are intentionally kept small to maintain a calm, supportive environment.
