The Power of Community

November 6, 2019realadmin_adminEducation

At RFT, we have strived hard to create a feeling of community within our four walls. We aim to seperate ourselves from the majority of fitness clubs out there where you simply scan a tag and pass through a gate, and maybe, just maybe you’ll get a hello from the ‘friendly’ reception staff (more than likely only if you say hello first). 

What’s the benefit of creating an environment that has a sense of community? After all, if you’ve got a goal and are dedicated and strong-willed enough to want to succeed, it shouldn’t really matter right? Well, to put it bluntly… WRONG! 

Having a friendly, community based atmosphere can be a crucial yet often overlooked tool in achieving your health and fitness goals. You may be asking yourself, “How so?” As I mentioned, if your desire to change is strong enough, what does it matter? Well, having been in this industry for 16 years, I know that desire, passion, commitment, comes and goes. Even for myself. And it’s during those times when you may feel ‘not up to it’ or just going through the motions, that the power of community really takes effect!

Think about it. Imagine walking into your gym, session after session, week after week, and the atmosphere feels cold, sterile and even lonesome. Your training can become a chore. And this is the time when you can possibly lose sight of your goals. Just drifting in and out and maybe you stop attending the gym altogether. Now, what if you were walking into a gym where you’re welcomed? A place where you’re like family? A place where you’re emerged in a positive culture? Research shows that by surrounding yourself with like-minded people, people on a similar mission to you, can increase your chances of success, be it a health related goal or business related goal, spending the majority of your time with those people can impact your results dramatically. 

The people whom you spend the most time with you will become like them, is not just a statement, that is a fact. John Locke said it best; “We are like chameleons, we take our hue and the colour of our moral character, from those who are around us.” Who are you becoming? What are you reading? How are you acting on a daily basis? What are you uttering to yourself? And where are you heading with your life if you continue to surround yourself with your current friends? 

The people around you should believe in you, they should uplift you, they should make you believe in yourself to a greater degree, they should push you to be the best that you can be, and they should hold you to a higher standard so that you may achieve your dreams. 

This is what a community based facility like RFT is all about! Whether you’re coming in for 1 on 1 personal training, Semi Private Training or coming in for the group exercise classes, you will be made to feel welcome. You will be surrounded by like-minded people. You will engage with those that are on the same journey as yourself! This can only have a positive impact on your health and fitness goal!

The 3 most effective stress management strategies The 3 most effective stress management strategies

Stress is not just emotional but it can also be physical. There comes a point where your physical body can be just stressed and tired. So here are 3 of the most effective ways to manage emotional stress as well as physical stress anyone can use. 

1. MEDITATION. At first meditation seems daunting and pointless to some. However it can be an awesome way to give your body both a mental and physical reset from day to day life. Having a crazy day at work just to get home to an even busier family life can be strenuous on the body and mind. So taking 5-10 minutes to just find a quite place where you can just sit relax and breathe. You don’t have to be an expert at MEDITATION to give it a go and feel real benefits just from a few minutes. 
2. SLEEP. Getting a good nights rest sounds so simple but it could be the difference between you being or not being stressed. In the world today we are always go go go and sometimes it’s hard for people to stop their day early to get to bed at a reasonable hour, but SLEEP is an integral part of stress management for everyone. So to put it simply focusing on getting a good 7-8 hours of straight sleep can help anyone manage their levels of both physical and emotional stress. 
3. WALKING OUTSIDE. Just the act of being OUTSIDE during the day or even at night can calm a persons stress. Add in the benefits of WALKING and you have the ultimate stress reliever. Having a long stressful day? Head OUTSIDE and get some fresh air.

Finding time in your day for at least one of these strategies might just change your attitude for the rest of the day. Becoming less stressed is always a positive and their is no harm in trying 1 if not all 3 of these strategies during your day.

🍇The importance of adding plant matter to your 🍇The importance of adding plant matter to your meals🥬

Fruits and vegetables pose many health benefits and play a crucial role to living a healthy lifestyle. It is essential that we are adding plant matter to all of our meals because;

🍆They provide colour and texture and make the food we are eating more appealing.
🥦Fruits and vegetables are convenient and are quick and easy to eat.
🍉Plant matter contains high amounts of fibre which helps keep us fuller for longer and keeps our digestive system happy.
🍌Fruits and vegetables are naturally low in calories which is of more benefit to us as they are nutritionally rich but low in calories.
🌱Plant matter foods contain high amounts of vitamins and minerals which help us stay energised and feel good.
✅Eating the right amount of fruits and vegetables can help to reduce your risk of lifestyle diseases.

So start of by adding some greens first to your meals with some fruits in between should help in increasing your plant matter intake and watch you start reaping the benefits.

LEGEND OF THE WEEK Congratulations to this super LEGEND OF THE WEEK

Congratulations to this super star 🌟 Joanna B! 
Joanna joined our community a little under 3 months ago, armed with some big strength goals; including performing a bodyweight chin up. This has been the jumping off point for her training plan in which she completes:
3x PT 🏋🏻‍♀️
2-3x Sweat 🏃🏻‍♀️
Having never lifted a weight before coming to RFT, in the last week Joanna performed a:
• 50kg back squat for 8 reps
• 60kg deadlift for 6 reps
In under 3 months! This is largely due to her get in and get after it mentality; her determination and curiosity about what her body can do is unmatched and makes her a genuine delight to train.

Aside from that, Joanna brings such a warm and kind energy into the gym that is appreciated by all the staff and members, and makes us proud to have you as part of our gym, so thank you Joanna!
And congratulations to this Legend! 🌟🏋🏼‍♀️🤩
