BFT Fitzroy

👑 MEET THE WOMAN WHO’S BASICALLY LOAD-BEARING AT BFT FITZROY👑

1000 SESSIONS. ONE VIVIA.

By day: Executive Producer & Co-CEO at Malthouse Theatre, running the show on Melbourne’s biggest stages. By 6pm: sweating it out with the rest of us like everyone else.

Vivia’s trained through injury, through Mondays, through everything, and somehow still shows up with more class than the rest of us combined. She’s not just part of the furniture at BFT Fitzroy, she basically IS the studio at this point.

1000 sessions. Thousands of reasons why we love having her here.

Queen behaviour, honestly. 👑

Here’s to the next 1000, Viv.

Our coaches don’t just say “engage your core.” They say things like “balance a tray of drinks on your lower back” and suddenly your bear crawl makes sense.
Weird? Yes. Works? Also yes.

The milestones are stacking up and we are here for it. 💙
🏆 250 sessions: Pauline, Leah, Fabian, Mariano, Diana & Wendy
🏆 1000 sessions: Kristian
& Kristian, a thousand sessions, well done brother 👊

This community never stops showing out and honestly we wouldn't have it any other way. Huge congratulations to everyone celebrating a milestone this month, you've absolutely earned it. 💙

The double kettlebell clean is one of the most powerful movements in the BFT toolkit, and one of the most butchered. 😅
Coach Chris breaks it down step by step so you can nail it every single time.
Here's what to lock in:

➡️ Kettlebells together, stand a foot's reach back
➡️ Feet wide enough to get both bells between your knees
➡️ Watch off (or turned around) before you touch anything
➡️ Hinge, pack those shoulder blades, tilt the handles in
➡️ Hike powerfully, thumb to bum, and let the momentum do the work

Clean technique = more power, less injury, better results across every session.
Save this one. You'll want it next time double cleans come up in class. 💪

Last Sunday, we brought the nervous system back online with Niamh, one of our members and a breathwork facilitator who knows her stuff. We're talking better sleep, faster recovery, and actually waking up feeling it, not just going through the motions. If you're smashing sessions but sleep's still a write-off, this is the one you needed. Niamh runs breathwork across Melbourne studios, working with high-performance athletes, but Sunday was all about meeting you wherever you're at. Thanks for showing up for your recovery. 🫁
