Well done Simone for training hard with her partner Joe and progressing towards her goals leading up to her big trip to Greece.
Keep up the awesome work Simone!! 🙂
Huge congratulations to Adele, beautiful Mum to three young boys who has been training hard with us over the last Boot Camp and has gotten fitter, stronger, healthier and back to her pre-baby weight in just 12 weeks!!
Adele has always had the most positive attitude at training and it is a testament to her mindset to stay consistent and keep going even when life throws ‘curve balls’ and makes it more difficult to stay on track.
We think every parent can relate to the struggles of finding ‘me time’ with the demands of having small children and the need to be able to pick back up when you veer off course and Adele has been an incredible inspiration of doing just that!
We are so proud of you Adele and congratulate you for all of your hard work and positive mindset along the journey!! You are an inspiration!!!
We can’t wait to see you progress even further in this New Year Boot Camp and achieve your new goals!!
Here is Adele’s story below:
“After having my third baby last April, I was eager to return to Bootcamp. I wanted to lose a few kilograms to fit back into my normal clothes and to regain strength in my core.
I had done a couple of Boot Camps following my second pregnancy and I was looking forward to having Shea and Carlie’s knowledge, motivation and encouragement along the way.
12 weeks later, I was back to my pre-pregnancy weight, down 7% body fat and feeling stronger and more toned. As a Mum of 3, I find Bootcamp gives me a chance for 2 hours a week to focus on just me. The regular contact with Shea and Carlie helps to keep me on track and accountable and they’re always there to answer and question I have about my nutrition.”
Now I can’t wait to start the New Year Bootcamp and work towards some new goals.“
Huge congratulations to Gabby who has been training hard with us over the last few months in the last Boot Camp and has achieved amazing results!!
It is always so nice seeing friends and family members train together and motivate each other and seeing the determined father-daughter pair David and Gabby has been such a pleasure. (David has lost over 30 kilos!)
Gabby has been so committed, always filling out her nutrition sheets and implementing feedback and was always the first one to text back that she has completed her weekend workout each week. (Well done again Gabby!!)
Congratulations Gabby for all of your hard work, positive attitude and training like a champion!!
We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see you take your results to the next level over the next 12 weeks in the New Year Boot Camp.
Here is Gabby’s story below:
“Before starting Boot Camp I was unhappy with my weight and my general fitness, it was my Dad who had done a few Fresh Fitness Boot Camps before inspired me to join up.
I saw how good the results were for my Dad and how much happier he was and how much weight he has lost.
Honestly since doing my first Boot Camp I will never look back! I absolutely loved it! It was the highlight of my week.
I loved how much they pushed us I loved seeing myself improve and I loved that Carlie and Shea were so hands on.
You could text them anytime to ask questions and for extra help. Carlie really helped with my diet as well. Told me improvements and what to change. They also gave lots to praise when they saw anyone improving!
Everyone was so friendly so it made it more fun and we all encouraged each other each session.
Can’t wait for the next one and to see even more improvement to my weight and my fitness level then I have already!”
When it comes to achieving the most out of life and getting great results, self awareness is key.
Without self-awareness and consciousness it is easy to drift along in life and find yourself setting goals but not achieving them.
It would be like sitting on the couch and your remote control batteries run flat… instead of getting up to change the channel, you just sit there and watch whatever is on, instead of taking control of what you are watching.
We all have our own human nature in common, but we also each have our own individual nature unique to us and when we understand ourselves more we can help ourselves succeed faster.
We live in a ‘material’ world however we are also very much a part of nature… Just as nature experiences changes in seasons and is sunny one moment and raining or storming the next, we are living, breathing, emotional beings and everyday we can experience a cocktail of emotions and experiences that can knock us off balance. When we understand how we react and respond to these challenges in life, it can help us to be more in control of our actions rather than acting unconsciously.
For example, when it comes to Nutrition, are you the type of person who if you set yourself rules and tell yourself “Okay, from now on I am not going to eat that!” you find yourself rebelling from your own rules and breaking it straight away (“Life is short, I’ll eat what I want thank you very much!”) or put it off til later… (“I’ll start being really serious next week!”) … Or alternatively do you thrive on self-discipline and enjoy challenging yourself to stick to your word?
For example if you relate more to the former than the later, by understanding this about your own (rebellious!) nature, you could try a different approach.
“I am ‘allowed’ to eat whatever I want to, and I can eat that (for example chocolate, alcohol, chips, etc insert vice of your choice) if I really want to, but I’m going to pass today because I want to achieve my goals more.”
By allowing yourself freedom instead of restriction, you successfully use ‘reverse psychology’ on yourself and prevent a rebellious-streak binge out from occurring!
Or alternatively, if you need structure and discipline to knuckle down and get serious about getting results, how can you set yourself mini-challenges to stay motivated and on track. For example, “I’m going to quit (chocolate, sugar, alcohol etc) for a month and as a reward on the 31st Jan I’m going to book myself a massage as a treat and so forth for each month of the year!”
There is no right or wrong, just what works for you. You are your own unique being, and what works for one person may be different to what will work for another.
SO…
Our challenge to you this New Year… instead of setting your usual ‘New Year Resolutions’… take it a bit further, and write out a few key points about your own unique nature to help you succeed faster.
For example, if your goal is to lose weight and clean up your nutrition more, write down what has prevented you in the past…
(for example: “I know that when I am stressed I binge eat on sweets or turn to wine after work.” or “I know that the weekends are my weakness because when I am with my friends, I really don’t feel like restricting myself and I just want to have a good time.”)
And then take it a step further and write down a few ideas on how to over come this (for example: “When I am stressed after work I am going to run myself a nice bath and find a delicious herbal tea that I love that I can have instead to relax me.” or “I am going to find healthy alternative ways to catch up with my friends for example going to the beach or surfing, instead of meeting for a drink, or bringing my own platter of healthy nibblies to a catch up instead of binging on chips and alcohol”.)
Whatever it is for you personally, the key is to ‘shine the light of awareness’ and understand your own unique nature so that you aren’t fumbling around in the dark for another year and scratching your head wondering why you just can’t seem to achieve your goals!

A lot of our clients have been asking how to enjoy this time of year (without feeling guilty!) and maintain their results.
So is there a RIGHT way to INDULGE this Christmas Season?
There sure is!!
Here are a few tips to stay on track over this festive time:
TIP #1 DRINK LOADS OF WATER
Especially in this current heat, it is so important to remember to drink loads of fresh water to help your body stay hydrated, but not only that, to help flush out any extra toxins from the foods and drinks you wouldn’t normally be having.
When you drink lots of water it is literally like ‘having a shower’ on your insides, and helps your body function so much better.
Try to aim for around min 2L per day and more on the days you are exercising.
Have a glass of water in between ‘other’ drinks (such as alcoholic beverages or sugary fizzy drinks 😉 and have an extra glass of water for any ‘treats’ you consume (such as sugar/fat bombs!) to help your body flush it away.
TIP #2 INDULGE IN THE GOOD STUFF
When we think of indulging we often associate it with ‘bad’ and ‘unhealthy’ foods, but how about switching your mindset to indulge in delicious treats that won’t derail your results?
What could be nicer then chomping into a delicious fresh juicy mango, or big bowl of strawberries, or a delicious fresh coconut drink, or a Chocolate Cacao slice or dessert that you wouldn’t normally have time to make?
Sometimes when we ‘indulge’ in something unhealthy that we think is going to satisfy us it does the opposite and makes us feel sick!!
Remind yourself of this before you have already gone too far; ask “is this going to nourish me or deplete me?”
There are plenty of delicious ways to indulge without sabotaging your results.
TIP #3 EVERYTHING IN MODERATION
Keeping the above in mind, life is about balance, and often when we allow ourselves to relax a little and not be super ‘strict’ with our diet, it actually does more to keep us on track then it does to deny your urges.
Because when you do feel a bit ‘sick’ (or queasy) after eating the stuff you wouldn’t normally eat, you resolve even more to clean up your diet to the next level!!
Let’s be honest, having a ‘cheat day’ once a week, month, or year isn’t going to ruin your results when you are on track 80-90% of the time throughout the year.
In fact, having these cheat days actually does more for your results then it does harm, as you don’t feel deprived and you enjoy the process.
So enjoy yourself, make sure you get plenty of rest and relaxation and enjoy the festive season!!

The Gift of a Lifetime
So many of our clients say how much of an impact their training has not only on their health and fitness and results but on their entire life, creating a ripple effect through their relationships, self-confidence, career, stress-management and even impacting their leisure activities.
The ‘Gift of a Fresh Start’ is helping you or your loved one to actually follow through with your goals, not just setting them and then letting time slip by without achieving anything. When you book in for your 12 Week Boot Camp or Personal Training Package you are making the commitment and creating the accountability and giving yourself the support that you need to actually (sometimes finally!) get results!
We hope you are having a wonderful week end and are staying on track towards achieving your goals!
With 2018 just around the corner it is a great time to stop and reflect on how far you have come this year, and look ahead to decide what you would like to achieve in the next year.
How can you make 2018 your best year yet?
We always like to review our goals around this time of year, before the craziness of the Christmas / New Year dawn upon us!
That way when the ‘New Year’ rolls around, you are already clear on what you would like to achieve, and what changes you would like to make in the year to come (and even put things in place to make it easy to stick to).
That way you make sure that you start the year off on the right track!
So we invite you to reflect and look forward too:
1. What have you loved about this year 2017?
2. What are 5 things you are grateful for that this year has brought?
3. How have you progressed forward this year? (even in the smallest of ways)
4. Looking back to your goals from the beginning of the year, how have you not progressed as far as you would have liked to? (honestly and with kindness to yourself)
5. What lessons have you learnt this year, and how have you evolved and grown?
6. What are 3 things you can do now to get you closer to your goals before 2017 finishes?
7. What would you like to achieve or change about your life in 2018 and how can you set yourself up to start the year off well?
8. What are 10 things that you need to put in place in the New Year, and how can you make it easier for yourself to make sure that the year flows forward with momentum and you actually make the changes that you set out to achieve?
~
There are no right or wrong answers, and every person has different aspirations — But the one thing that is proven that we all have in common as human beings is that we are happier when we are working towards a worthwhile goal or something that is important to us, rather than just drifting aimlessly along 🙂
There is nothing like the feeling of satisfaction when we achieve what we set out to achieve!
Feel free to share with us in the comments below.
REGISTRATION FOR OUR NEW YEAR 2018 CORNUBIA BOOT CAMP has just opened!
If you would like to start the right year off on the ‘right foot’ we would love you to join us in our January Boot Camp and keep up the momentum towards achieving your goals and make 2018 your best year yet!
Life can sometimes constantly test us and it is all part of the juggling act to find balance and stay on track.
The secret is in your routine, and finding what works for you.
Can you think of the days where everything flowed and you felt that sense of satisfaction from start to finish?
For example it may be the days where you got up a little earlier, had more time for YOU, and started your day off on the right foot (literally!)
Or you took the time after work instead of feeling exhausted and ‘vegging out’ you went outside and did some physical activity like taking your dogs for a walk or jog.
For many of you it is coming to see us and training outdoors at Boot Camp or in the studio or coming to Yoga, and having that time to yourself to switch-off from the day.
Everyone’s lives and responsibilities and schedules are different, however the thing that everyone has in common is that we can all find what “secret routine” works the best for us.
Once we know what it is, and we incorporate it regularly into our life, everything just flows so much better!
The real secret is in making your training time your ME TIME and your ESCAPE from “the world”…
Daily exercise and training has been proven to be as effective as taking a daily anti-depressant, and once we make that connection in our minds with training our body for our mental benefit as well as our physical benefit, it becomes so much more then just about “weight-loss” or looking a certain way.
It is about feeling great more than anything!
Once we create that new association with exercise and training and realise how much better we feel it is no longer a chore or something that we HAVE to do, but something that we WANT to do… it is like taking our daily medicine!
So what is your secret routine that you know works for you?
Are you doing it???
If not, start now and incorporate it into your life more. You will be so thankful you did 🙂
Are you feeling unmotivated and want extra help to get your motivation back and achieve your own transformation in the next just-over 8 weeks before Christmas?

We can’t wait to help you achieve your goals by the end of the year 2017!
Recently we have had to come up with more ways to sneak healthy veggies into our diet… Usually a big fan of fresh green salads and raw veggies, recently during the first trimester of my pregnancy I (Carlie) have gone completely off these types of foods and been craving more starchy, carby, type of foods (like many other pregnant mama’s commonly do!)
Combine this with coming up with creative ways for our almost-two-year old daughter to enjoy more veggies and a wide variety of foods, and we have been putting our creativity to the test.
We will add the full recipes to the Members Area however here are three SUPER EASY and QUICK ways you can ‘sneak’ more veggies into your diet if you find yourself (or children) in the same predicament.
1. Green Pancakes
These were an easy addition to our usual Banana Pancakes Recipe, and our daughter absolutely LOVES them 🙂
Simply add a handful of fresh baby spinach leaves to your blender when blending up the wet mixture of your Banana Pancakes and you won’t even taste them!
(Quick Version of the recipe: Throw a couple of Ripe Bananas, Handful of Baby Spinach Leaves, 1-2 Free Range Eggs and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil into your blender / food processor and blitz until completely smooth. Then pour into a bowl and mix in the dry Gluten Free Self Raising Flour of your choosing and stir to desired consistency, then pop on the saucepan with extra virgin olive oil or coconut oil and cook! TIP: To make vegan (or if you run out of eggs like we recently did!) substitute the eggs for a few scoops of Chia Seeds instead. These were DELICIOUS! Serve with butter and raw honey 🙂 Enjoy!)
2. Green Smoothie
This is an oldie but a goodie. These days with all of the high powered blenders on the market (like the Vitamix or a Nutribullet or similar) it is easy to throw all kinds of veggies into your smoothie and you literally won’t even taste them. Like even carrots and harder vegetables which normally wouldn’t blend. (Gone are the days of chunky bits hanging around Thank God!). Taste-test your blends and if you need to, add more honey to sweeten or to make creamy add in unhulled Tahini or organic pure peanut butter etc.
(Quick Recipe: Add 1 banana, 1 handful of baby spinach leaves, 1/2 Tray of Ice, 1 Scoop Purest on the Planet Protein Powder, 1/2 Tsp Super Greens Powder, 1 Scoop Cacao, 1 Tbs Organic Unhulled Tahini & 1 Tbs Raw Honey or more if preferred, add water to just below top of contents to keep it a nice consistency. Blitz and Blend until smooth + Enjoy! 🙂
3. Smooth Veggie Scrambled Eggs
This one is another one of our daughter Skyla’s favourites. Throw a couple of eggs in the blender, along with what ever veggies you fancy (for example, a handful of baby spinach leaves, a few mushrooms, tomato, zucchini, fresh herbs, etc). Blitz until absolutely smooth with no chunks. Pour into the saucepan and either scramble up or just sit with the lid on at a low heat and cook like a soufflé. Serve with sprinkling of Pink Himalayan sea salt and cracked pepper. This magical recipe completely disguises all of the vegetables and tastes delicious!
We are in the process of filming more recipe vids which we will add to the Members Area shortly so stay tuned!
Feel free to share this post with any other fussy vegetable eaters (or their Mummies and Daddies! 😉
Do you have any delicious recipes to share? If so make sure you leave us a comment below.
Have a wonderful day and we will see you soon,
🙂
