Let's Get This Party Started

Hi Everyone,

 

First of all welcome to teams Ares and congratulations on signing up for the Genesis Evolution 12 Week Challenge!

 

It was great to see a few of you at the information meeting last night. For those of you who couldn’t make it, we currently have eight in our team:

Roy Champtaloup

Priscilla & Chris Keep

Dianne Moffitt

Matthew Gilligan

Adrienne Bartle

Sheena & Kirk Gibson

 

We may have a couple more join us at the 8 weeks to go stage, so watch this space.

 

My job as your team PT is mainly to try and keep you all on track and motivated, coming to the gym regularly and answer any questions you have. But before we do any of that I’d like to get you all together to meet you all and for you to meet each other.

 

Several of you have already said you can make a short (15-20 minute) meeting at the gym at 6pm tomorrow (Wednesday) so it would be great if as many as possible can turn up for that. Let me know if you can or not.

 

Also really important is the nutrition seminar by Tarryn & Jen from Discover Health this evening at 7pm. Last year’s participants found this a really good, helpful session, full of practical advice, and there’s a Q&A session at the end, so please do try to get to this one. Good nutrition is the foundation for your training, so it’s really important to get it right.

 

What else do I need to tell you? Please see Juddy’s intro below for details on how the points work, and ask me if you have any questions. Do give some different classes a try- you might even find you really enjoy them! Next week is a great chance to try some classes you’re not sure about and get your ‘Joker card’ so you can focus on your favourite classes for the next couple of weeks.

 

Oh, T-shirts! I have all your T-shirt sizes from your registration forms, but if you’re not sure then have a chat with reception at the gym as we have some spares from last year which you can try on, and then let me know by our meeting tomorrow so we can get them ordered.

 

Next, have you got a program that you follow at the gym? If not, let me know and we can meet to take you through something suitable and get you off to a good start. I’ve already got Dianne & Priscilla booked in for Monday, so give me a shout if you need some inspiration.

 

I’ll be organising some free team training sessions along the way, but if three or four of you want to get together and chip in $10 each then I have some early morning or evening slots in which we can do some fun and testing group workouts, so let me know if you’re interested.

 

And if you haven’t booked in for your BIA testing (tells you not just your weight, but how much is fat and how much is muscle, and where you should be headed), then it’s really important you give the gym a call on 520 3455 and get yourself booked in ASAP. We’ll be doing it again at the end of the challenge to see how everybody’s done. (And I know you’ll all do great! :)

 

Right, that’s enough waffle for now! Please make use of the blog to keep in touch with me and each other. It’s real easy to do: just send an email to genesis.team.evolution.ares@blogger.com and it’ll get posted here. It’s a really good way of organising to meet up, posting what classes you’ve been up to and how you enjoyed them and keeping each other motivated and on track.

 

Give me a shout if you have any questions, hope to see you all at the nutrition seminar at 7 tonight and for a quick team chat at 6 tomorrow. Hopefully that way we all meet and catch up and get started on making this a great 12 weeks!

 

Cheers,

Brendan
