🏋️‍♀️ Technique Tuesday: Conquering the Smith Machine Squat!

We know the Smith Machine can look a little intimidating, but it's a fantastic tool—especially for perfecting your squat form! If free weights feel daunting, the Smith Machine offers a safer, guided path to building lower-body strength.

Our friendly gym instructors are always here to help! If you have any questions about your form, or need guidance on any equipment, please don't hesitate to ask one of the team during your next visit. We're happy to provide tips, safety checks, or further instruction!

This month we're diving into the incredible, but often underestimated, power of movement for your mental wellbeing. We will be discussing the emotional, physical, cognitive, and social benefits of exercise.

Week 1) Emotional:

Reduced anxiety and depression: Regular exercise helps lower stress hormones and promotes relaxation, reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression.​

Improved self-esteem: Consistent physical activity builds confidence and a positive self-image through progress and achievement.​

Release of endorphins: Exercise triggers the release of endorphins - natural mood boosters that create feelings of happiness and wellbeing.​

Emotional resilience: Regular exercise strengthens your ability to cope with challenges, manage stress, and bounce back from setbacks.
