A Special Shout-Out to Phil & Margaret

I'd like to give a special mention to Phil, one of our Parkinson’s clients, who continues to show up consistently with commitment and determination each week.

Phil’s positive attitude and willingness to keep challenging himself are a powerful reminder that progress often comes from simply turning up and giving it a go — even on the tougher days. It’s a privilege to support Phil as he works on improving movement, strength, coordination, and confidence through his Program.

And as the saying goes, behind every good man is a good woman. Phil’s wife, Margaret, has been a rock-solid support throughout his journey. Her encouragement, involvement, and trust in the program have played a huge role in helping us shape and adapt the training to achieve the progress Phil has made.

Thank you, Phil and Margaret, for trusting the process and being such valued members of our community — your efforts and support do not go unnoticed.

🧠 Teen Anxiety Boxing Fitness – Building Confidence Through Movement

Our Teen Anxiety Boxing program is designed for young people who may struggle with anxiety, low confidence, or feeling overwhelmed in group settings.

Sessions use structured, low-contact boxing-style movement to help teens:
• release nervous energy
• build confidence and self-belief
• improve focus and emotional regulation
• feel comfortable being part of a group

The environment is calm, supportive and predictable — with no pressure to perform and no prior boxing experience required. Sessions are particularly well suited to non-sporty teens or those who may feel unsure in traditional sports or gym environments.

📍 Lake Macquarie – Wednesdays 4:00pm

Ideal Ages: 11–14 years

If you’d like to know whether the program may be suitable for your child, feel free to reach out for a chat.

Looking Ahead to 2026

As we start a new year, I’ve been reflecting on what I want 2026 to stand for — personally and professionally. The word that keeps coming up is opportunity.

For me, that means four things:

• The confidence to create opportunities, rather than waiting for them
• The courage to step into opportunities when they appear
• The understanding to be kind to myself when an opportunity is missed
• And gratitude for every opportunity experienced — whether it’s good, bad, or uncomfortable

Growth doesn’t always come from perfect outcomes. Often it comes from showing up, trying, learning, and being open to what follows.

As we return to routine, this is the mindset I’m carrying forward — for myself, for the business, and for the community we continue to build together.

Here’s to 2026 and you finding your journey.

Closing Out 2025

As we finish our final day of sessions for the year, it feels like a good time to pause and reflect.

When I think about 2025, I think about the wins I’ve witnessed — and the thing about wins is that they look different for everyone. You all have your own goals, your own measures of progress, and your own outcomes.

Alongside that, I also quietly have my own outcomes I personally work towards for each of you.

Seeing you achieve your goals makes me genuinely happy for you.
But seeing you achieve my goal for you — feeling better about yourself, growing confidence, and continuing to move forward in the face of whatever challenges life throws your way — that’s what makes me truly proud of you.

This year hasn’t been about perfection or pushing harder. It’s been about consistency, resilience, and finding what supports your wellbeing — physically and mentally.

As routines change over the coming days, take this time to rest, reflect, and be kind to yourself. We’ll be taking a short break and will be back ready to move forward together.

2026 will be about continuing our journey.
Take care — and I’ll see you soon 💜
