Morning Check-In. Tim here. It’s Monday, and if you’re reading this thinking of a dozen reasons not to start, you’re not alone. I still have those days as well.

Battling depression and anxiety often means the couch feels like the only safe place. But through my own journey and my work, I know that just 15 minutes of movement can change the chemical conversation in your brain.

It’s not about perfection; it’s about making one small step. What is the one thing that helps you break through the anxiety of starting a tough week?

Share your best motivation hack below—let's help each other out.

It’s Sunday Night. Let’s talk about Monday.

How many times have you woken up dreading the week ahead because you know your current routine isn't getting you the results you actually want? We see it all the time.

We built this Yarra Valley space specifically for people tired of spending money at a "money-making machine" gym.

We offer effective Cardio & Strength Training and Recovery support so that your efforts actually translate into health that lasts.

If you’ve been thinking about making a change before the end of the year, our 30% OFF introductory offer is the easiest way to start. No pressure, just support.

HUGE CONGRATS to Charlie Greenwood for taking out this week's Mini-AMRAP Challenge! 🎉

This is what makes our community so special: the incredible effort; the cheering; and the support everyone gives each other. Every single person in that challenge should be proud of how hard they pushed.

Thanks for bringing the energy to our Saturday! Come join us next week, you could be wearing the crown!

𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐲’𝐬 𝟔𝟎-𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐇𝐚𝐜𝐤! ⏱️ If you’re anything like me, you spend half your day at a desk or behind the wheel, and the other half trying to lift heavy things. That combination can absolutely wreck your upper back and shoulders.

When you're stiff, it actually makes your Strength Training harder and less effective. This 60-second stretch for your Thoracic Spine is a game-changer. It's not about being super flexible; it's about being able to move safely and comfortably in your every day life.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐱 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐟 𝐔𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬:

1. 𝐒𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐩: Lie on your side, knees bent at 90 degrees, hips/shoulders stacked.

2. 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐬: Extend arms forward, palms touching ("closed book").

3. 𝐑𝐨𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞: Slowly open the top arm toward the floor behind you, rotating the chest. Keep knees glued together!

4. 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐝: Hold the gentle stretch for 3 deep breaths (about 15 seconds).

5. 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭: Return to start. Do 3–5 reps per side.

Give it a try! Has anyone else felt this kind of stiffness creeping in lately? 👇

Tim & Stacey here. We wanted to talk honestly about why we started S&T STEPS.

Before this studio, both of us had big journeys just to get healthy (Tim lost 50kg+, Stacey 20kg+). We started from a deeply self-conscious place. We knew the fear of walking into a commercial gym where you felt judged, uncomfortable, or worried about being ridiculed.

Tim especially battled serious depression and anxiety, which made the idea of stepping through the door feel impossible sometimes.

That experience is why this studio exists. We got sick of the money-making machine of the fitness industry that didn't care about people, just profit. We vowed to build the opposite place.

This is a space where you are safe. Where your personal struggle is understood, and the focus is on achieving health that works for your actual life.

We promise you're welcome here.

Question for our community: What was the single biggest barrier you had to overcome before you finally felt comfortable working out?

Tim and Stacey here! We've got some huge news for the Yarra Valley crew.

We're putting on an intense HYROX training Masterclass from November 14th to 16th. If you want to level up your training and push your limits, this is it.

The part we're truly excited about is Sunday, November 16th - our next Charity Sunday. Every single dollar from class fees, and 50% from PT and Massage bookings that day, goes straight to a local charity.

We love seeing everyone push themselves, but doing it for a purpose - that’s what this community is all about.

Details and the booking link are in the comments!

Tim here: The toughest part of fitness isn't your body; it's your mind.

As I continue my post-grad work in Psychology, I can tell you that waiting for motivation is the #1 reason goals fail. Instead, focus on clarity. Define the single, smallest step you can take today. Action builds momentum.

If you need help crossing the mental hurdle of starting or restarting, come chat to me. Let's make a plan in our zero-judgment space.

Good Morning, Yarra Ranges! Stacey the Sports Therapist here with your Monday Morning Fix!

As a Remedial Massage Therapist, I know those stiff mornings can derail your entire week. Instead of ignoring it, take 60 seconds to try this simple stretch:
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦:

Tight hip flexors (psoas) from sitting, driving, or heavy training.

This tightness pulls on the pelvis, leading to unnecessary lower back pain and poor posture.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐱 (𝐇𝐨𝐰-𝐓𝐨):

Start in a kneeling lunge position (place a pad under the back knee).

Gently tuck your tailbone forward and squeeze the glute on the side of the knee that is down, you should immediately feel a stretch in the front of the hip.

Raise the arm on the side of the knee that is down and gently lean away from the stretched hip for maximum release.

Hold for 30 seconds on each side.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭:

Instantly relieves tension in the lower back and pelvis.

Improves hip extension, which is crucial for a stronger squat and a more efficient running stride.

Leads to better overall posture throughout your training week.

This is the kind of pre-habilitation that prevents injuries and helps you train consistently. Ready for a deeper fix? Book a Remedial Massage. Click here for availability: www.sntsteps.com.au/book

We often get asked, "How do you manage running a gym and raising Jaxon?" Honest answer? It's chaos! 😂 But this place is more than a business; it’s our commitment to the Woori Yallock community.

It’s why we run a zero-judgment gym where everyone is welcome.
