/0 Comments/in , , /by

Introducing a motivational fitness and nutrition program to nourish your body, mind and soul.

We are thrilled to be able to offer our community an awesome breakthrough program for our upcoming 10-week Autumn term (starting 20 April 2015).

Our Working-IN program provides a compliment to the constant ‘working-out’ in our daily lives. It’s all about nurturing our bodies by how we eat; our minds by how we think; and our souls by how we feel – with the goal of creating a more balanced, energized and fulfilled life.

Working-IN has been developed by a collaboration of health and fitness professionals on Sydney’s Northern Beaches. We all are passionate about educating our communities on the benefits of healthy, active, mindful living. The current partners include Beauty of Exercise, The Wellbeing Studio and Active Lifestyles.

We aim to provide our members with valuable guidance and inspiration on healthy eating, plus access to new and fresh training options with other fitness professionals in our local community.

Here’s a sneak preview of our coaches talking about the program…

What will the Working-IN Program offer Beauty of Exercise members?

  • Seasonal shopping tips and much more.

Our three experienced coaches will give you their own unique perspective on each topic. Stay tuned for a sneak peek at one of our weekly video insights from each coach.

Camaraderie at the Fore

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Oxford English Dictionary defines Camaraderie as ‘the mutual trust and friendship among people who spend a lot of time together’.

That is exactly what our community at Beauty of Exercise (BEXI) is all about. We support each other through the lo’s, celebrate the hi’s… or just have a good laugh with each other.  

A perfect example was at our interval training session earlier in the week. We had three groups training together – 1) Run-FIT; 2) Race-FIT half-marathoners; and  3) Race-FIT marathoners. It was a very tough session – 2km | 1.5km | 1km | 800m – all at fast tempo paces. The final 800m rep was intended for the marathon group only.  The other two groups were gloating that they had finished and didn’t have to do another rep… until they noticed their ‘buddies’ getting ready for the last rep. Not wanting to leave them unsupported, they jumped up and rallied around them for their final 800m rep.

This truly highlighted what an awesome Beauty of Exercise community we have fostered over the past 3yrs. One which is filled with a great sense of camaraderie, team support, motivation and inspiration. Our BEXI community are always there for each other – if someone needs a buddy to run with, we are there to support them. If someone is having a bad day, we are there to lift them up. If someone  is lacking motivation, we are there to inspire them. The true spirit of our BEXI community. That’s what makes us so special. That’s what we love so much!
