Emma Ladd Fitness

There’s something pretty special about watching someone take the leap, find a little bravery and choose to try something new. 🧡

Because we know it can feel scary and intimidating walking into a gym for the first time.

You might be thinking…

“Will I be able to do the exercises?”
“What if I don’t know what I’m doing?”
“What if I’m not strong or fit enough?”

That self-doubt and those nervous feelings are completely normal. But rest assured, we’ll do everything we can to make you feel comfortable and at ease from the moment you walk through our doors.🤗

We cater for ALL levels and abilities.
We don’t care what you’re wearing.
We don’t care if you’ve got makeup on or not.
We don’t care if you’ve never stepped foot in a gym before.
And we definitely don’t care if you’ve had a little (or long!) exercise hiatus.

We just care that you’re here. 💪

So privileged to train these two beauties today — Mum & daughter superstars! 🥰

How cute are they?! 🥹

A very warm welcome to ELF Aggie! 👋

Happy Father’s Day to all the incredible men we have the pleasure of training! 💙

You’re setting a beautiful example for your families of the importance of staying strong, healthy & active … not just for today, but for all the years ahead. 💪

Enjoy your day, legends! 👊

WE DID IT! 🙌 We made it through another winter… & there’s been some seriously impressive training consistency along the way! 💪🔥

I’m proud of you… but more importantly, make sure YOU’RE proud of you! 👊

Those dark, cold mornings and chilly evenings can make it pretty tempting to stay in bed or hit the couch, so showing up week after week is something worth celebrating. 🙌

But now… SPRING IS HERE! 🌸

The days are getting longer, the mornings are getting lighter and it’s time to turn that winter consistency into spring momentum! 💥

Whether you’ve been smashing your training all winter or you’ve fallen off the wagon a little… this is your sign to get moving!

Set your goals. Book your sessions. Get back into your routine. Bring a mate. And let’s make spring your strongest, fittest and most consistent season yet! 👊🔥

We’re ready for you, FitFam! 🧡

Enjoy the weekend ✌️

Only ONE more full day of winter! ❄️🙌

To everyone who has kept showing up & remained consistent through the cooler months — getting up in the dark, heading out in the cold or finishing your day in darkness…

BIG kudos to you! 👏

That takes discipline when the couch, doona & comfort are calling! 😂

And if you’ve had a little gym hiatus… or perhaps been hibernating 🐻…

It’s time to rip the bandaid off & get back into it! 👊

Don’t overthink it. Don’t wait for the “perfect” time. Just get yourself through the door.

We’re here, ready to hold your hand, cheer you on and get you moving again. 💪❤️

Spring is coming… and it’s the perfect time for a fresh start! 🌸

It’s time to recognise some seriously impressive consistency! 🥹👏

This week we’re adding some very special honour boards to celebrate the members who have clocked up 500+ sessions AND 750+ sessions at ELF. 🫶

To every single person whose name is on these boards — THANK YOU. ❤️

Thank you for choosing us.
Thank you for trusting us.
And thank you for playing such a huge part in creating the warm, welcoming community that makes ELF what it is.

A place where people feel safe to be vulnerable, have a crack at something new, challenge themselves, make friends… and often love it so much they stick around for months, years & YEARS! 🥹

Is your name on one of these boards?

If it is, we’re sending you the biggest, most heartfelt congratulations — and an even bigger THANK YOU. 😘

And then there’s our very special 1000+ crew… refer to photo 😎

The small handful of hardcore clients who have made it into the LEGENDS CLUB. 👊

To reach 1,000 sessions, you don’t just love what we do — you’ve made training a part of your life. You’re an OG. You’ve been with us through the early days, the location changes (Kenji St, Virginia St & Watt Rd), COVID lockdown, & all the good stuff in between. We go WAY back!

You’ve built some seriously awesome habits, shown incredible discipline & consistency, AND invested in something your future self will undoubtedly thank you for. 🫶

Welcome to the Legends Club. You bloody incredible humans! 👊🔥

And honestly, when we look at our conversion rate from free trials & the HUGE number of members who have stayed with us for the long haul, we reckon those are some pretty beautiful indicators that we must be doing a few things right. ❤️

But more than anything… we’re just incredibly grateful.

Thank you for being part of ELF. 🫶

Such a raw, emotional moment captured just over the finish line at Sunday’s Devilbend 21.1km run. 🥹❤️

To watch someone so young set their mind to a long-distance event, commit to the training, push through the hard days and ultimately do exactly what they set out to do — and do it so well — is something pretty special.

Running & exercise in general can be so powerful. Not just in changing the way you look, but in changing the way you feel. Building confidence, resilience, self-belief and that incredible feeling of knowing, “I did something I once thought I couldn’t.”

Do YOU have a goal, dream or wish for more? 🤔

Let me hold your hand! 👋
You’re capable of more than you know!! ❤️

3 1/2 weeks to go! 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻🏃🏻🔥

We’ll be taking on the Surf Coast Century in Anglesea — a massive 100km event shared across relay teams, proudly supporting Team Kill Cancer Inc & the Beyond the Finish campaign with our dear friend MADDI WILDE 🧡

We’ll be proudly flying the Team Kill Cancer flag, running for something bigger than ourselves, & showing up for a cause that means so much.

This beautiful charity has just hit an incredible milestone… gifting over half a million dollars to people in our community affected by Cancer! 🫶

If you’d like to get involved, or join us for the TKC Gala (Nov 7th @ Crown Palladium), send me a DM.

OR if you’d like to support us, you can donate via the link in my bio. 🙏

Let’s run for something bigger.
One day at a time.
One kilometre at a time.
Together. 👊

THIS!! 🫶

It was incredible to see so many of our beautiful Fitfam achieving great things at the Devilbend Trail Run this morning. 🥳

We had all events covered — 7k, 12.4k and half marathon… and every single person achieved greatness. ❤️

As a PT, it’s so humbling to watch people give something a crack. To choose something hard, set their mind to it, put in the training, push through the tough days & then come through with the goods on event day. THAT is what it’s all about. 🥹

And we had some pretty awesome wins…

👏 Kenneth, who’d been sick all week, absolutely nailed a PB in the half marathon.

👏 Ness, who is very new to running, ticked off her very first official half marathon — AND came 3rd in her age category! 🤯 Podium finish! 🤩

👏 Cath my twin is running the strongest I’ve seen in years, I’m in her dust & in awe. Nailed this mornings half coming 7th in her category 🥳 & just warming up for her Melbourne full marathon in October! 👊 Go twinnie, I love your work! 🫶

👏 Corinne took on the 12K & embraced every single muddy puddle along the way. 😂

👏 Paris & Michelle absolutely kicked some massive goals in the 7K.

But my absolute highlight of the morning belonged to Millie. I got to run this half marathon alongside my incredible daughter. 🥹

Not many people get to run a half marathon, but to do it alongside your daughter… well, that was one proud moment! 🫶

There were definitely tears at the finish line. 🥹

You can do hard things, honey. And I think you’re just amazing. ❤️

And to our loyal supporters and unofficial marketing & photography crew — THANK YOU! The cheers, encouragement & support mean more than you’ll ever know. 📣🫶

Enjoy those running endorphins, legends. You bloody earned them! 🏃‍♀️🔥

And if you want to get involved with Run Club, or you’ve got an event in mind you’d love to tackle, hit me up!

There’s always another goal to chase. 💪🏼❤️
