With summer fast approaching, everybody starts to panic about getting their winter bodies out. Most of us had grand intentions over the past few months of getting in great shape and some of us have. Unfortunately though many of us have slipped up far too aften and the results we should have achieved didn’t come to fruition.

Add to this, the party season approaching in December and we have a recipe for 1 piece costumes at the beach and ankle length skirts for the girls. Guys, that 6 pack you dreamed of sporting at the beach this year looks more like a keg than a 6 pack.

But, there is hope. Make November your best month to date!

Join the No sugar challenge!

Here’s the rules:

All rules apply for the entire month of November. 

When you mess up, which I am sure you will, at least once. You have to write down what you did on the blog for everyone to see. This alone will help to keep you on track. There is nothing like being accountable to keep you on track, let alone being accountable to everyone in the challenge!

No refined sugar at all.

No sugar in tea or coffee.

No artificial sweeteners either! 

No cakes, chocolates, lollies, soft drinks etc

No bottled fruit juice

No alcohol

No dried fruit

Only 2 serves of fruit per day

No sweetened yogurt

No white potato

Only mulitgrain bread if you must have bread

Only basmati rice if you must have rice

Pasta no more than twice a week

If you follow this, you are sure to trim away the bodyfat. I don’t like to make outrageous comments, but I am positive if you follow these rules, you will get leaner!

It really doesn’t take that long to change your tastebuds and reduce the amount of sugar in your diet. Try it for 30 days and see how you feel. Other than being thinner and healthier, I bet you won’t crave it as much either!

If you are keen to join the challenge, enter your name in the comments and any other info you might like to add and then consider yourself part of the challenge.

I hope by the 31st October we have a large list of names to join the challenge.

With the success of our flagship group training class in Centennial Park, we are kicking off a new location next month in July.

Our affiliate Training company Gateway to Health will be handling the training of the classes. The head instructor will be Liam Zollo.

The format will still be the same, you will still get an entire month of training with a highly qualified and experienced personal trainer for $235. This concept has been so welcomed into an industry where you generally pay around $80 an hour for a 1on1 session with a trainer.

Not only is it cost effective, but it is highly motivating to train with likeminded others in this results orientated fun and social group environment.

Classes will include boxing, circuits, kickboxing, fitness challenges, games and much, much more.

It doesn’t matter what your fitness level, all you need is the willingness to work to your full potential every class and watch your fitness improve dramatically!

Check out the video below for a taste of what you can expect in the classes and then head over to the group training page for all details or to enrol.

Get onboard for the new group fitness location at Maroubra beach, or join us at the original in Centennial Park
