Runway Fitness

💚 THIS is what personal training is really about.

Three months ago, Mark suffered a stroke.

Once he was given the all-clear to exercise, we started working extremely closely with him — carefully, patiently and very much at his pace.

And if you know Mark… you’ll know he’s a little bit stubborn! 😂

He’ll tell us he can do more.

We’ll tell him to stop. 🙈

He’ll want to carry on.

We’ll tell him it’s time to recover.

And yes… sometimes he probably thinks we’re being a pain! 😂

But that’s the point.

Personal training isn’t always about pushing someone to their absolute limits.

Sometimes it’s knowing when to push, when to modify, when to stop and when to let the body recover.

It’s understanding that every client is different and working with their needs, their abilities and their goals.

And Mark is absolutely SMASHING it. 👏💪

Watching him regain his strength, confidence and independence and get back towards his normal self has been incredible.

One thing that’s often forgotten is the importance of looking after your health before something happens. Mark was extremely fit and healthy before his stroke, and that level of fitness and strength gave him a fantastic foundation to work from during his recovery.

It doesn’t mean things can’t happen — unfortunately, they can.

But being strong, active and healthy can put your body in the best possible position to face whatever life throws at you.

And with the right professional support, patience and consistency, getting healthy and getting stronger really can be life-changing. 💚

Keep going Mark. We’re incredibly proud of you. 👏

💚 THIS IS RUNWAY.

It’s been a little while since we’ve popped up on your feed… but believe me, things have definitely been happening behind the scenes! 😂💪

Different ages.
Different abilities.
Different goals.
Different reasons for being here.

But there’s one thing our members have in common…

They show up.

They train hard.
They challenge themselves.
They have a laugh.
They encourage each other.
And, most importantly, they keep going.

Because Runway isn’t just about lifting weights or getting fitter.

It’s about having somewhere you actually want to come to.

A place where you know your trainer, know the members, feel comfortable, have a laugh… and get the support you need to become stronger and healthier.

This is our Runway family. 💚

And if you’ve been thinking about starting, maybe it’s time to stop thinking about it and come see what we’re all about. 😉

Runway Fitness — personal training, every time you walk through the door.

🚨 A little late… but too good not to share! 🙈

Firstly… apologies for the delay! Runway Fitness took a little trip to France 🇫🇷🍷, so our July Challenge post has been patiently waiting!

Our July Isometric Bicep Hold Challenge certainly got those arms burning! 🔥💪

The challenge was simple:
🏋️ Ladies: 6kg
🏋️‍♂️ Men: 8kg
Hold those dumbbells at a 45° angle for as long as you can…

A huge well done to everyone who gave it a go – there were plenty of aching biceps and a few shaky arms! 😂

But one person stood out from the crowd…

🏆 Ashley absolutely SMASHED it with an incredible hold of over 3 minutes! 👏💥

An amazing effort and a very well-deserved Runway Challenge medal! 🥇

Keep an eye out for our August Challenge… who’s going to be our next champion? 😏💚

GYM = THERAPY. 💚

The school holidays are amazing… but let’s be honest, they can also be exhausting! 😂

Whether the kids are happily sitting in our staff room colouring, on the iPad, or being looked after by someone else for an hour… stepping onto the gym floor is your time.

No school runs.
No washing.
No emails.
No “Muuuum!” or “Dad!”

Just 45 minutes to an hour that’s all about YOU.

A chance to clear your mind, move your body, lift some weights, have a laugh with your trainer, and leave feeling stronger than when you walked in.

That’s why so many of our members don’t just come for the workout…
They come for the headspace too.

Because sometimes the best therapy isn’t talking…
It’s training. 💪💚

🚨 Relationship status: It’s complicated… 💚😂

It might be the first week of the school holidays, but our members clearly haven’t told Runway Fitness they’re taking a break!

In fact… some of them have been here TWICE A DAY! 🙈😂

At this point, we’re starting to wonder if their partners should be getting jealous…

“Sorry love, I’m just popping to Runway…” 🤭

Guided PT sessions, plenty of laughs, hard work, and a gym that feels like a second home… we can’t blame them really! 💪

Thank you to every single one of you who continues to show up, put the work in, and make this place what it is.

Have a fantastic weekend, Runway family… we’ll see you soon (probably tomorrow… and maybe later the same day! 😜💚)

🚨 JULY CHALLENGE IS HERE! 🚨
…Yes, we know… we’re a little late starting it! 😂 Better late than never!
This month’s challenge is the Bicep Hold 💪
🏋️‍♀️ Ladies: 6kg
🏋️‍♂️ Men: 8kg
Hold the weight at a 45° angle for as long as you can… sounds easy? We promise it won’t feel that way after a few seconds! 😅🔥
Can you top the leaderboard and take home the Runway Medal? 🥇
Challenge yourself. Challenge your gym mates. Bragging rights are up for grabs too! 😜
See one of the team, have a go, and let’s find out who’s got the strongest arms (and the strongest mind!) 💚💪
Who’s taking on the challenge this month? 👇

Even the coaches need coaching. 🥊💥
People often think that once you know what you’re doing, you don’t need someone pushing you anymore.
The truth? That’s exactly when you need it most.
Even our professional boxing coach knows there’s another level to reach when someone else is there to push you beyond what you thought was enough.
Could you train yourself? Of course.
But would you push as hard when your body is telling you to stop? Probably not.
A coach sees what you can’t. They squeeze out those extra reps, those extra rounds, that little bit more when you’d normally settle for “good enough.”
That’s where progress happens.
Whether you’re stepping into a boxing ring, training for a marathon, or just wanting to feel fitter and stronger, having someone in your corner makes all the difference.
Don’t just work hard… work smarter. Let us help you discover what you’re really capable of. 💚🥊

Jack’s idea of “ending the session with a fun game”… 😅🏋🏻‍♂️

Turns out his definition of fun involves a heavy medicine ball being launched around while you’re desperately trying to hold a plank. 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Safe to say… it wasn’t quite the relaxing finish they were hoping for! 💀

At Runway Fitness, every session is different. We work hard, we laugh (sometimes through gritted teeth 😜), and we always find new ways to challenge you.

It’s all fun and games… until Jack says, “I’ve got an idea…” 🤣

Come and see what you’re missing… if you dare! 💚

🥵 It’s absolutely roasting outside…
Yet somehow these two still turned up to train!
No excuses, no “it’s too hot”, no last-minute cancellations. Just straight into the gym and straight to work. 💪
Either they’re incredibly dedicated to their fitness goals… or they simply can’t stay away from us! 😜
Whatever the reason, we love to see it. 👏🔥
