At Focus Fitness and Massage Studio Gym in Mudgeeraba we’ve combined the benfits of yoga with the benefits of Pilates, and are running a Yolates course.
Yolatesi hasbeen established on a very tried and true, historically proven form of exercise.
You see, Yoga is focused on your flexibility and then strength and Pilates is focused on your stability, and then your strength and flexibility.
If you’re looking for core body strength, you’ll find that Pilates helps. Then there are people that have concerns about being hurt in yoga classes because they may not have developed your core strength to move through some of the positions.
We’ve combined the best of both disciplines to create “Yolates”.
We’ve been holding Yoaltes classes on a Monday afternoon from 5.00pm – 6.00pm
There’s so many personal trainers around, how do you know which one to select in Mudgeeraba?
A great place to start is by asking your family, friends or work colleagues if they can recommend anyone
Norm Cavanagh has been a personal trainer in the Mudgeeraba area for over five years, and is well known to many of the locals. He’s built up a reputation theough his personal training, and most of the persoanl training business that comes through his Mudgeeraba gym is through word-of-mouth.
At Focus Fitness and Massage Studio Gym you’ll find a range of Personal Training packages to select from – the best way to approach is is to take advantage of the free guest pass
At Focus Fitness and Massage Studio Gym, we don’t spend heaps on glossy brochures and marketing like the BIG two supermarkets.
Since our business is built on our reputation, and through word-of-mouth referals, you won’t see a great deal of advertising around Mudgeeraba.
This month we teamed up with Tallai General Store to distribute some flyers for the benefit of people that may be new to the area.
As chance would have it, the company that distributes the leaflets were also distributing flyers for two national gym chains. One woudl think that they could use a bit of common senss and advise the three competitors of their dilemma.
Who cares about customer service? Certainly not a Mudgeeraba business owner that’s no longer in business, and didn’t listen to his customers
We pride ourselves on customer service , as Mary told us. She said that she has never felt better than when she was here at Focus Fitness and Massage Studio Gym, and loves the classes and the gym, as it is small and personal and not like a Big Gym.
“And this is the kind of gym that you look forward to going to,” said Mary
Throw those Fenix Gym brochures in the bin, and claim your FREE* 7 Day Guest Pass and 1 PT Session for you and a friend valued At $94 Each
Another story about the flight from those Fenix gyms, comes from one of our past members of Focus Fitness and Massage Studio Gym
We’ll protect her identifty and call her “Mary”
Mary phoned us at the gym saying that she wanted to get back into training. Mary used to come to our gym, but then joined Fenix as several of her friends joined and they were all going to go together and motivate each other etc etc
To everyone’s surprise, that didn’t end up happening and she had joined for 12 months (to end beginning June)
Funny how things work out ….
Mary went onto to say that she has never felt better than 12 months ago when she was here at Focus, and loves the classes and the gym, as it is small and personal and not like a Big Gym.
“And this is the kind of gym that you look forward to going to,” said Mary
The biggest challenge that many clients face, is not the exercising, but the reasons to keep you exercising.

Once they’re gone …. They’re GONE
Once again Focus Fitness and Massage Studio Gym is supporting the Mudgeeraba Street Party, this year to be held on Sunday 31 October 2010
Everyone had heaps of fun last year, and it was a great opportunity to see what goes on in the thriving township of Mudgeeraba.
It’s a free event from 10.00am onwards – they’ll be closing a couple of the roads and making use of the village green
We’re planning a few surprises for the day, so make a note in your diary and be sure not to miss it
How To Get Fit And Stay Fit is a question many people ask themselves every New Year, as we write down some “New Year’s Resolutions” and somewhere on the list is “Get Fit”
Our Mudgeeraba gym clients are not far from the beach. Whether you’re in Tallai, Worongary, Bonogin, or Robina , it’s only around fifteen minutes to the beautiful Gold Coast beaches.
Mudgeeraba’s best gym is close to some excellent walking tracks, rock pools, and other areas of natural beauty that take away any excuses for not going out and getting some exercise whilst enjoying our fabulous surroundings
The soapbox “reality” TV shows constantly find stories with “quickfix” weightloss solutions or gadgets to get fit without having to really do anything. You can spend money on similar “mail order” products and DVD series.
Like anything in life, the more you put in, the more you get out. And the old saying “Use It Or Lose It” is just as true with fitness and exercise programs.
With a “want it know” society, the idea of having to put some effort into a healthy lifestyle program can be a challenge.
Imagine doing somethingfor ten minutes every day. After a week that’s about an hour’s worth.
At Focus Fitness and Massage Studio Gym in Mudgeeraba, we suggest that you start exercising by doing something for twenty minutes every second day – which is also around an hour’s worth.
After a month you’ll certain feel the difference, and it will become a habit that just becomes part of your routine
The hardest task is to take the first step after making the decision to do something. This can become eaasier by getting together with a friend or family member, so that you give each other some encouragement and / or support.
You’ll see people that get a dog as a pet – and then need to take it for a daily walk – if that works for you, then why not!
You can decide to park you car a little further away from the shops, so you have to walk a bit extra. Take the stairs instead of the lift at work.
Engage A Personal Trainer
There’s many benefits of having a personal trainer. The first being that you’ve now got someone to be accountable to. By booking a time with your Personal Trainer you’re more likely to meet that commitment for fear of not only letting yourself down, but also your Personal Trainer
The personal trainers at Mudgeeraba’s best gym are all well qualifed and have experience in helping clients of all ages, sizes, and shapes. You’ll get a variety of training schedules, different exercises, and have someone to guide and enciurage you making sure that you exercise correctly to avoid personal injury.
By letting loved ones or friends know of your plans, you’re again more likely to follow through with your commitment. They’ll be asking after you, and informally monitroing your progress. You don’t want to let them down too, do you?
Set some goals
No, you can’t decide to go and buy a huge slab of chocolate to celebreate your weight loss!
How about setting a holiday destination as a reward for your success.
Another goal may be new clothes (because you’ve shed all that weight!)
Exercise with a friend
Having someone else with you can be much more fun than doing it by yourself. That’s why we’ve got the Buddy Body Training Program
You can share the fun and share the cost of personal training by doing the sessions together with your buddy
Write A List Of Excuses
We can write a huge list of excuses and valid reasons why you can’t get fit and stay fit.
In reality the only person you’re letting down is you. Have a look at where you were five, ten, or fifteen years ago.
Project that forward and look at people who are five, ten, or fifteen years older than you. Do you want to be like them? If you do, then why not ask them what they’ve been doing to get to where they are now.
Get A Reality Check
Your level of fitness will not change overnight. It takes time, and effort.
Just as it’s taken time and effort (or lack thereof) for you to get to the condition you are in now.
Some of our Mudgeeraba gym clients have taken thirty years to get to the level of unfitness that they have now – we can only help them become fit if they decide they want to do that. We put exercise programs in place to strengthen their joints, their muscles, work on their breathing, posture and many other aspects of their physical fitness
Start with this simple exercise:
1 ) Write down some goals
2 ) Write a list of excuse
3 ) Cross off “Can’t be bothered” and try again
For many people starting out on an exercise program, the idea of an intenseive workout is very off-putting.
It’s a good idea to start out gently, particularly for older people.
A low intensity exercise regime, which is where your heart rate is around 60% of its maximum potential, is inefficient for anything other than gradual weight loss,
You won’t boost your metabolisim, or see any significant increase in muscle mass, and there’ll be little improvement in strength and endurance
By working out more intensely, and pushing your haeart rate upto 75%, you’ll find a better increase in your health
Heart rate is determined by subtracting your currentage away from 220. So a 50 year old should have a maximum heart rate of around 170 beats per minute
Gentle exercise, or low intensity workouts are great for warming up and cooling down. They’re beneficial for elderly people, or anyone recovering from injury or illness.
There’s many healthy people that go along to the gym and sticking to low intensity workouts, missing out on the chance to increase the intensity and increase the effectiveness of the workout
Generally a higher inensity work out will burn a higher number of calories. For instance, walking is low intensity. If in 20 minutes walking you burn off 100 calories, then 50% of those calories are fat, so you’ve burned off 50 fat calories.
In ten minutes of a high intensity workout suppose you burn 160 calories. Of those , 40% are fat , so your ten minutes has burned 64 calories.
Burning 14 more calories in half the time could mean in the same 20 minutes you burn 28 more calories and so on
People that are really serious in losing weight should make the bulk of their session high intensity
