Sixty7Six Strength and Conditioning

We're bringing benchmark workouts to Sixty7Six.

We already test our strength lifts, and it's a great way to see how far you've come when it feels like you're just grinding away week to week.

So, we're doing the same for the rest of your fitness. One gym-specific benchmark workout every 2 months, six a year, one of each testing something different:
• Aerobic capacity
• Strength total
• Chipper
• Sprint
• Barbell cycling
• Bodyweight

Every result goes into Wodify, so you can look back and see your progress across your lifts, your endurance, your gymnastics, and your engine.

First one drops 16th September. Come and set your baseline. 💪

We blinked, and somehow Christmas is fast approaching! 🎅

It's time to celebrate another incredible year with our Sixty7Six family. The laughs, the PBs, the friendships, and everything in between.

This October, our gym is proud to be hosting a Telethon fundraiser in support of Perth Children’s Hospital, and this cause is incredibly close to home.

Our coach Kirsty, her husband Eddie and the Holder family know first-hand just how important children’s healthcare is.

When their daughter Asha was just two days old, she underwent emergency surgery for a gut malrotation. At just 13 months old, Asha and her family, spent six weeks in Sydney under the care of Westmead Children’s Hospital, where she underwent life-changing surgery to restore blood flow through her liver.

There were terrifying moments, countless hospital hours and an incredible team of doctors, surgeons and nurses working to give their little girl the best possible chance.

Asha is here today because of incredible medical care — and because hospitals like Perth Children’s Hospital are there when our kids need them most.

That’s why Telethon means so much to the Holder family, and why we’re proud to get behind it as a gym community.

And here’s how we’re making it count:
For every person who attends our Telethon fundraiser, our gym will donate $10 directly to the cause. ❤️

So bring your family, bring your friends, get involved and help us raise as much as we can.

Come along. Show up. Make a difference.

MINDSET - “Anything you add to something unsteady doesn’t make it bigger. It makes it wobblier.”
There’s a version of getting better that’s really just getting busier.

More on the calendar. More projects half-open. More weight on the bar. It feels like progress because there’s visibly more of it — but underneath, nothing has actually been made steady. You’ve just given the wobble more to work with.

The unglamorous truth is that most things fall over at the base, not the top.

That’s what Week 2 is really for. Week 1 you found the positions. This week we add load to them — and the load will tell you the truth about whether you actually own those positions or were just visiting. A push press from 60% that’s strict and clean is worth more than a heavier one that bends in the middle. Same with a front squat at 70% you can hold honestly.

It works the same outside here. Before you add the next thing, ask whether the last thing is standing on its own yet.

So this week, resist the urge to pile on.

Pick one thing — a lift, a habit, a routine at home — and instead of making it bigger, make it solid. Steady it until it doesn’t need you propping it up.

Then add. That’s when adding actually counts.

We're launching Foundations, a 6-week beginners program led by Coach Sue, made for the people who feel nervous about walking into a regular class. If that's you, you're exactly who we had in mind.

You'll learn all the movements you'd see in a normal session, build real strength and confidence, and go at a pace that suits a beginner. At the end you'll retest where you started and see your own progress in black and white, then step into regular classes already knowing you belong.

Starts Tuesday 8 September, 6.30–7.30pm, running 6 weeks. Just $99 for the full six weeks as an introductory special.

Know someone who's always wanted to give it a go but felt intimidated? Send them our way. This is the softest possible place to start. 💙
