Peach Strength & Welness

Sometimes the gym is about far more than building muscle.

This young bloke is 16. A great kid who has experienced trauma and was starting to head down an all too familiar path: trying to fit in, smoking, drinking, and not locking in at school.

Mum to her credit got busy!!

👨‍🔧 He’s started an apprenticeship as a plumber in a fantastic workplace.
💪 He trains twice a week at 6.30am with Peach, and will soon be increasing to three sessions.
📈 More importantly, he is building confidence, routine, and surrounding himself with people who are positive influences.

We don’t always tell him what he wants to hear, rather, what he needs to hear.

Ultimately, clients reaching their goals is what it’s all about. In this case it was assisting Alex & Pat move 10kgs & build some muscle for their wedding day!

Amazing results from two ripping people & compliant clients!

Congrats 🙌 🍑

Welcome to Team Peach, Kahlia 🍑

This post is about pull-ups specifically…

However, and I have just taken a moment to recognise the work Pat has put in since joining Peach 🍑. He joined us a little lost, seeking an overhaul in the way he looked and felt about himself. We’re bloody proud of the significant changes he has made in his life and the work he has put in the gym, not to mention the the contribution he continues to make in our business behind the scenes 💻.

Ok onto pull-ups…
As far as back exercises go, it’s the 🐐 in our opinion.
However we hear so often people say
“I can’t do that” or “it’s just too hard” 🤔..

📍Pat in pic 1 was about as far off from a pull-up as you could get.
↪️He got to work on his nutrition, steps and resistance training for 12months.

📍 slide 2 - The next time we tried he got 3.
↪️Continued working his butt off on nutrition, steps and resistance training.

📍 And after another 12 months now he can do 10 😊.

Moral of the story, we encourage y’all (learnt a new word in 🇺🇸) to persist for a bit longer.

The migration back to the gym has begun! 🦋🐃

A large percentage of the population make the trek back around this time of year, with the prospect of ☀️ warmer weather insight!

However, the gym is only one small 🤏🏼 part of feeling your best:

Why?
• Consistent daily energy expenditure on top of training.
• A useful way to recover from leg sessions.
• This is a priority and have been doing it for so long it’s just part of the day.

Strength first. Fat loss follows. 🍑

Women, gain energy & confidence from resistance training — not just a lower number on the scale.

Fat loss is a pleasant byproduct!

and I (Mitch) have never spoken about losing weight or being a certain number on the scales. We have focused on technique and progressing her confidence with load (building strength).

The results speak for themselves.

Jess has lost 30kg in 10months! 🍑

This isn’t a surprise to her whole family (her husband, mum, sister and son all train with Peach too), or to anyone at Peach, given the actions she has taken.

Initially, Jess wasn’t motivated and was extremely apprehensive about the idea of resistance training. In fact after meeting with Mitch she took 3 months to get back to him, before taking the leap and deciding to train 4 days a week, every week since that point.

Jess isn’t finished yet and has bolder goals she is working towards. We’re all very proud of the commitment she has shown and she should be commended for results to-date. 👏
