Trainer Stories – Part 2

I was born and raised in New Zealand and although I enjoyed an active lifestyle – lots of sport, surfing and fishing etc – being “Healthy” was never a major focus…

Are you getting enough Iron?

Feeling tired and weak, decreased work performance, difficulty maintaining body temperature, and decreased immune function are all signs of possible iron deficiency…

Purpose

In this bite-sized blog I am going to drill into the meaty topic of life’s purpose/ vision and how it is distinct from and integrated with one’s mission…

You Move Me – Where are we now?

You Move is not so much an achievement as it is the greatest extension of who we can be as a community and how each of us in our own small way has the ability to change the world…

The Power is in the Vision

I often will tell my clients that the best training program you could ever have is the one that you do. We, as humans, are literally “meaning” making machines. What we do is create reasons and meaning behind our lives that simply justifies our lives exactly as they are. You see, our minds are 100% dedicated to proving ourselves right exactly as we are…

Hit the Trails & Run Free

It is easy to train indoors when the conditions outside are slightly uncomfortable. Yet, that is not why we do what we do. Evo training is about far more than just your session and getting a bit of movement into your week. We are aiming to tackle some of the big challenges in modern times, the loss of connection…

But what is the ‘Core’ anyway and why do so many people talk about this magical Core?

Building Community

Evolution was founded on the whole idea of communities of people training together in their local beach or park and supported by a lead trainer who was as much community connector as they were fitness trainer…

What makes an Evo trainer different? Trainer Stories Part 1

I am 26 years old, Adelaide born and raised and I drinks green smoothies for breakfast. So far so good? Although only 3 years young as a community leader and trainer for Evolution my relationship with Evo delves much deeper. I first found Evo (or maybe Evo found me) when I had just moved to Sydney after living in Perth for 3 years. Upon arrival I only knew the friendly face of my sister and my two new housemates…

Controlled focus is like a laser beam

Two weeks ago I finished the blog by paraphrasing George Zaluki, saying, to be consistent with who you are, the machinery of how you are made, is compelling and we need to be compelled to reach out and achieve. That there is clearly something attractive and inspiring about people who are setting out to achieve and the focusing of your energy to achieve is harnessed by goal setting…
