photos for the blog

 

 

Hey Everybody

 

Got a small challenge for each team this week

For  a little spice on everyones blog, lets add some photos

 

Send in 2 training photos of you or anyone in your team training some time during this 12 week challenge to my email address by Monday 2^nd august at 12pm for a 30 point top up.

 

Any photo will do but has to be obvious it is some one in your team and they are training

That’s 2 photos per team. Hopefully they are from 2 separate people within your team and cant have the same pic as another team so first in first served

Email is justinw@genesisfitness.co.nz , feel free to blaze me up about anything, suggestions and comments, all are wwelcome

 

Not long till the end now folks we are nearing the end and there is a BIG BIG party being planned for the 21^st August at the Paddington Bar in Parnell. An apt end to the challenge that everone has done so well at, and details will be up around the gym soon. Be a great night, lots of prizes up for grabs and a free dinner and more prizes for the winning team so don’t take the foot off the gas. Partners are of course invited as is most of the gym, so they can all come and cheer on you evolutions bunnies and clap and cheer also

 

I have got some special conditions for  the last month and group fitness points so will keep you posted on Monday about the conditions and how the final months points will be accumulated

 

Any questions ask your trainers and they can let you know, or just email me…

 

The show aint over till Julius gives the thumbs down

Team Training :-)

Hi Team,

 

I’ve got a couple of times available for some team training this week:

 

7am Monday 26^th and 7pm Tuesday 27^th

 

Drop me a line to let me know if you’re coming and I’ll get a suitable session planned.

 

In the meantime keep up those gym visits, make sure you swipe in, and don’t forget to enjoy yourselves :-)

 

See you soon,

Brendan

 

 

 

Now is the time...

…to really keep up all the great work you’ve been doing!

 

The points for the last week have been published, and while we’re still hanging on to third place, we’ve lost ground to the first and second place teams and the others are gaining on us. Eek!

 

So make sure you all keep on attending regularly, and try to get those eight different group fitness classes worked in if you possibly can J Anna will be trying to arrange a couple more team training sessions in the next week so keep an eye out for those.

 

We’re also arranging a great event to finish off the twelve week challenge… more details to follow. Unfortunately I won’t be there as I’m off to the UK for the first three weeks of August, but I’ll be keeping an eye on the blog and checking how points are going with Anna, so no slacking off! ;-)

 

Great work so far anyway folks. No matter how we do in the points competition, I’ve been really impressed with the effort and commitment you’ve all put in, so keep doing what you’ve been doing, keep eating well and exercising hard, and most of all, keep enjoying it, so that a healthy lifestyle can become the habit of a lifetime J

 

GO TEAM ARES!

 

Brendan

 

Recognise this guy??

Need some inspiration??

Want to see what years of dedication and commitment looks like??

 

Then come and see Athena Team leader & Genesis PT, Rick Ujfalussy, strut his stuff (in his Speedos) at the 2010 Counties Manukau Bodybuilding Championships.

 

Rick’s been eating nothing but chicken and air but has also been training very hard at the gym so it would be great to get as much support for him this weekend as we can.

 

He currently holds the title of ‘Mr Waikato’ and his dedication means he’s got a great chance of picking up another title on Saturday.

 

When:    This coming Saturday 24th July

 

Where:   Hawkins Theatre in Papakura

                13 Ray Small Drive (of Elliot St)

 

Cost:       $15.00 for pre-judging starting at 1pm & $25.00

                 for the finals which starts at 6:30pm.

 

There will be Genesis staff there and it would be great to get some gym members along to cheer Rick on (and put the pressure on him to perform in front of us)

 

See you guys there J

Keep swiping tags & singing into classes

Hey Guys,

 

There’s been a couple of issues lately with some people attending classes but not writing their names on the sign in sheet and therefore not getting the points for the class. It’s the same with people coming into the gym. Some members are not making sure that their tags are swipe and again, are not getting points for attendance to the gym.

I know that you guys are on to it but I just thought I would make sure again that you guys all know to write your names on the sign in sheets for any classes you do as well as swipe your tag any time you coming into the gym or going to a class. When you’re swiping your tag, if you don’t hear the little scanning machine beep, then your tag didn’t swipe.

 

Like I said though, you guys are on to it. This problem has come about mostly within some of the other, not so on to it teams haha J

 

Fantastic work at the quiz as well guys! I’m sorry I couldn’t attend I ended up getting what I think was food poisoning from a chicken burger! Watch out for Sylvia Park Burger Fuel cause that was where I got it from! That will teach me for going there for dinner when I’m meant to be eating salad!

Anyway, you guys did great and ended up in 3^rd place! I hear we lost the lead in the last few rounds but that’s all good! Minerva won with both their teams placing 2^nd and 3^rd! Ridiculous!

 

Have a good weekend guys J

quiz night

 

 

Oh how funny was the quiz night!!??

Hats off to all teams who managed to scrape a team together in the school holidays and get some solid points

EVERY team managed to get a table of 5 people along and wearing a shirt so all get the maximum of 120 points which will be added next week.

Its becoming a tight race and im sure that we will have an exciting finish, with team Zeus mixing it up with the Septu team, showing what regular gym attendance and solid class attendance will get you points wise. Team Ares is holding steady yet I feel like they will be strong finishes and are now getting their team a little more hard core. Team maru needs just a fraction more consistency to mix it with the big boys and Minerva got off the bottom and have the lead in sight. Athena is a sleeping giant I think also and have plenty of motivation going ahead.

 

Just a heads up…. The Evolution Challenge will finish on AUGUST 20^th August  so we can have a prize giving function on the Saturday 21^st a chance to get together and share stories and experiences and throw out some trophies and commend every participant in a small wee way.

 

Keep up the hard work folks, keep your team motivated, an remember, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday

 

Asta manyana

I Love It When a Plan Comes Together!

The A-Team cranking it out at team training sessions Wednesday last week and this morning- good job folks :-)

 

Don’t forget, quiz night 7pm this Wednesday. We have our five for the team, but the more the merrier, especially if any of the five don’t make it! Make sure you wear your T-shirts for the extra bonus points.

 

We’re still doing really well, but it’s close at the top and a couple of teams are pulling back. Make sure you keep up the good work and try to get those eight different group fitness classes in early in the month if you can! I’m going to be giving Yoga a try at 6pm on Tuesday if anyone wants to join me- let’s make beautiful shapes with our bodies ;-)

 

Go the A-TEAM!!!

 

Brendan

 

Greetings from the Graveyard Shift

Hello Team,

 

Brendan and I thought we would get into the blogging spirit and thought we’d let you all know how our night’s going.

 

We’re at work on a Friday night, it’s school holidays and it’s completely dead!

Lucky for Brendan he’s only working till 7pm. But unfortunately for Anna she’s working till 9pm!

Brendan gets to go home with dinner sitting on the table cooked by his lovely wife (who makes mean brownies) and poor Anna has a stupid salad for dinner! Accompanied by some rather large mandarins (maybe they’re on steroids)

If you have no life like us, pop into the gym and see us J Or even better join Anna for a nice salad!

 

Keep blogging team!

 

Quiz night for Bonus points

 

 

Time for some smarts and not braun now folks!!!

 

Evolution QUIZ NIGHT team challenge

 

Wednesday 14^th JULY, that’s next Wednesday 7pm

Thought it was a nice way to compete for points withour crackin a sweat.

Will be a great night to be had by all who can make it. Gives some mums a chance who are on holiday or too busy to not have to sweat about letting the team down

 

So enter a team

-          Over $1500 worth of Prizes to be won!

-          Kick off, 7pm (be early to get a seat)

-           5 people per team

-          Entry is $10 per person (pretty cheap for a great night anyways!!)

-          Everyone gets a complimentary Tui Blond or House Wine on entry (already everyone wins)

 

Wear team t-shirts to get a bonus 20 points (all must be wearing team issue to obtain)

 

Ask team PTs for more info, if you have more than 5 that’s ok just more brains at your table but doesn’t mean you’ll win

 

Time to go to work folks

 

Juddy

Geeeeeeez it's cold!

Hello Team!

 

I am back from Rarotonga! (And I saw the post you made with the Rarotonga comment Brendan!)

So it’s my first day back at work, and what a stupid day to start back at 5.30am in the morning!!!!!

So I am feeling rather unfit after having a week off from the gym! I did do a little bit of running while I was over there but it was a little too hot to run. The resort I was staying at had a very small gym with very little equipment (but what do you expect from a place like Rarotonga where I’m one of the few nutty people who would try out the gym!). I attempted to do a workout there but I decided to go have a cocktail at the bar instead J You see, the bar and restaurant was pretty much right next to the gym and all I could see from my little bike in the gym was people drinking and eating! It was a little too tempting for me so the gym ended up having very few visits from me.  My eating wasn’t the best over there either! Several buffets and many cocktails later, I’m having a little bit of trouble getting back on the salads and water!

 

So now that I’m back, you guys will be getting lots of emails from me again J

 

I see that we are currently in 3^rd place with 233points with Zeus leading 237points and Septu just ahead of us with 234points. So I’m very happy to see that you guys are still going hard J We are not far off from those two teams so we just gotta make sure that we keep up the good work!

 

By the way….great work on the Latino Dance class guys J I didn’t get a chance to say well done to the eight people + Brendan that turned up! That was a real good effort J It’s that kind of commitment that’s going to help us win the 12 Week Challenge!

 

Has anybody tried that new reflex class?? I’m going to give it a go on Thursday morning @ 6.30am if any of you would like to join me. These classes are meant to be good so I’m going to see what all the fuss is about.

 

I shall see you all around the gym!

 

Have a great day guys J

 

Anna

Hello all,

Hope everyone is doing well with their training and nutrition. Sorry I
haven't been able to meet many of you, work is quieting down so
hopefully I will have more time for evening sessions and less 12 hour
work days.

I did not make it to 8 classes last month but I would like to. Anyone
up to meeting at some classes to help motivate?? Let me know.

I will for sure be at the next team training so I can locate some more
team members, have a great weekend all!
