  • Can you talk and run at the same time.... then slow down!

    Hi there, please excuse the geek in me coming out in this one but your body really is amazing and the way it works it truly fascinating. There are 3 energy systems that allow us to exercise. The first 2 are known as anaerobic systems and operate in the early phases of high-intensity exercise from the body's own stores of energy within the muscle. The 3rd system is known as the aerobic system and operates via a pathway involving oxygen, this means the intensity of the exercise must reduce in order to allow oxygen to the muscle requiring us to breath as we exercise. There are 2 key points in the measurement of the energy systems use, the first lactate or ventilatory threshold and the ....

  • 3 ways to recover from a run

    It's that window of time immediately post-run and you're too sweaty to go inside, too hot to do much else other than taking a walk and calm your heart rate down but is that the best thing you could be doing with that time? Here are 3 ways to recover from that run so that you're in tip-top shape for the next time: 1. Foam roll myofascial release is the fancy term but ensuring you roll along with the tissue on either side of the ITB, is nifty trick to giving your knees the best chance of not pulling up too sore. Check out this link for a 'how to' 2. Stretch When we run, our muscles contract, extending and shortening, by stretching out we just give the muscles a chance to fully ....

    Nutrition in Nundah

    Hi guys, I thought this might be a great opportunity to post a little on menu selection. With so many amazing cafes and eateries in Nundah, the next meal out doesn't have to be one that takes your health in the opposite direction. We are spoilt for choice and here is the little guide I like to use when selecting from a menu, I call it the 4 C's. 1. Colour - when making a choice (with dessert as an exception) the colour component on the plate will likely be the vegetable or salad component. Take a look at the other meals around you and if in doubt ask a waiter which meal that one is.. pointing to the most colourful plate that's close! 2. Cooking method - if you're a regular reader of our ....

    Personal Training near me.. 5 Best Things About Being a Personal Trainer in Nundah & Northgate

    Non-Hungry Eating

    The nutrition landscape has become a series of landmines, rabbit holes, and confusing anecdotes from the ‘study of one’ gurus. “I have a 6 pack follow me. It’s simple just eat on your left foot, while sipping a grapefruit through a straw and ensure you’ve done 3000 pull ups and 2300 sit ups but only after sleeping in 2 hour periods to maximise your ketoacidosis” ​WTF???? A lot of my work at the individual level is challenging a lot of those food rules. Food rules that we have just accepted as gospel based on not much truth at all. Those silly things when said out loud don’t make any sense but yet are the basis of constant thought and torturous ....

  • Caffeine

    Caffeine

    Is the daily dose of coffee doing us harm or good? Well, it’s one worth exploring, but like most things in nutrition, it comes down to quantity, timing and how your body responds. How does it works? The way I think of it is like a blanket. The caffeine interacts with a receptor in our brain that recognises a by-product of energy production and usually that leaves us fatigued to reduce our effort and conserve energy for survival. We don’t feel that fatigue though as it blocks the receptor, so it’s heightened alertness and improved performance and no downside, right? Like when your partner pinches the blanket at night and you’re suddenly shivering, wishing for that ....

    A Feeling of Overwhelm

    Everyone is adjusting to life as best they can and with restrictions all over the place dependent on your state, to say that this adjustment has been challenging is an understatement. The heart foundation recently surveyed Australians and found that 54% are eating more than we were before and are unhappy with the state of their bodies. It is surprising though? Not only did we take away a lot of the liberties that allow people to thrive under pressure, we added more pressure: no to gyms and social occasions and yes to home schooling and home offices and without any separation of spaces it’s been messy. Those who have maintained employment felt this insane obligation to work harder ....

    Nutrition for the Professional

    When we think about what you’re attempting to achieve, let’s not underestimate the challenges at play. From social media feeds to YouTube to your inbox and now we have added your pantry and fridge to those purpose built distractions from your workload. The promise of instant gratification with one mouthful of that sweet biscuit or the escape from the overwhelming task with that packet of salty peanuts. No longer do vending machines and water coolers provide us with that escape, we’re now in our own home just metres away without any perceived restriction, so how are those that are winning doing it? What’s working and what isn’t? Professionalism starts behind ....

    What's Your Persistence Pace?

    The pace of life has swelled to a fever pitch and between work and family commitments its almost like you have no time for yourself in that 168 hour week. We are always striving for just one more percent or to get more efficient to then add more to that TO DO list. Then the sense of guilt hits us that ‘we should do something for ourselves’. The research starts on ‘what to do’. This is a marketer’s dream with the promises of the life you want, along with a free set of steak knives at the end of the next ‘big thing’. How about we just pause for a minute before signing up for those steak knives and the life changing gizmo and agree that the likelihood ....

    Nutrition Essentials for Mum Life

    There are never enough hours in the day, you never get to the bottom of the to do list. The thought of making anytime for you exhausts you and before you blink the weeks start all over again! Lets not heap more guilt, food rules and shame to the list. Lets look at the energy you’re already expending and make the most of that. I don’t need you to put yourself before all the kids or your partner but I need you to get a seat at the priority table and your health in 3 months, 12 months, 5 years will be grateful you have! Cooking more when you’re already cooking. This seems like a simple one, but the amount of mums I speak with that will prepare food for the kids' lunches ....

I have been training with Amy and Sean for over 7 years and despite many changes in personal circumstance, have always found myself coming back to them. They are the best personal trainers I have ever had the privilege of working with. I am confident in their knowledge and skills and I know that they are committed to my health and wellness. Amy and Sean are kind and flexible; they continuously go out of their way to make others feel comfortable and find a training regime that works for the individual. I am incredibly grateful to have them in my life - and love that I can now call them friends.

Laura Hunt

I have trained with Amy and Sean for about 7 years now.
They are quite honestly the best personal trainers! 
Not only do they have so much knowledge and experience, they are genuinely lovely people. Their clients are like family and they go above any beyond to look after their family.
I have tried many different places for training during this time as well, including places like F45 etc. I always end up back with Amy and Sean, I get the best results from them.
You won’t regret working out with Your Fit!

Damian Brunow

Amy and Sean seriously changed my life, forever!  I have been seeing Amy and Sean for 7 years now and nearly 30 kilos lost and a much better life gained.  They are the best trainers I've ever had, hence sticking with them for 7 years now.  Personable, professional, caring and genuine, I can absolutely recommend them to anyone of any fitness level.  I thought Sean was mad when he wanted me to enter a 5km fun run event back in 2014.  Fast forward to 2018 and we ran the Melbourne marathon together, and then in 2019 I went to New York to run the marathon, a proud achievement I will remember forever.  I couldn't have done it without the truly amazing support, guidance and energy from Sean and Amy.
