💪🏻 Member of the Month: Claire! 🏆
Massive shoutout to Claire, our October Member of the Month, and a well deserved winner of the coveted hoodie. 🎉 🙌🏻
Claire and her dog worked tirelessly throughout October, showing us all what consistency and determination look like. Claire smashed every gym session, racked up miles on her long walks with her furry companion 🐶, and earned gold stars galore for her nutrition. She nailed her calorie and macro targets, fuelling her body for success in every workout.
The results? Weight loss, increased strength, and pushing herself to new levels. That’s exactly what the Member of the Month award is all about, recognising those who go the extra mile and inspire others along the way.
This is what Phoenix Fitness encompasses—a supportive community, members challenging and encouraging each other, and a place that feels like so much more than just a gym. It’s your third place, your home for progress and positivity. 🏋️♀️🔥

🎥 Landmine Rows: Build a Stronger Back 💪🏻
Today we’re showing off one of the most versatile tools in the gym – the Landmine. If you’re looking to build a strong, toned back while keeping your workouts fresh and effective, this one’s for you.
Here’s how we’re targeting different areas of the back using 3 attachments:
➡️ Lat Blaster: Perfect for isolating the lats and building width. Neutral grip means it’s easy on the wrists while you focus on that mind-muscle connection.
➡️ V-Bar Handle: Hits the middle of your back. Members love this one because it’s all about control and technique which they know is vital for maximum gains.
➡️ Meadows Row Handle: Fix imbalances, build single-arm strength, and work your rear delts, lats, and core all in one move. You can't go wrong.
The Landmine is perfect for anyone looking to build strength, improve form, and add variety to their routine. Whether you're chasing a fit, healthy body or trying to smash your PBs, this tool’s got your back (literally). 🔥

What do you reckon to our festive upgrade? 🎄✨ This masterpiece of a wreath was handcrafted by two of our lovely members, Lisa and Alex, and it’s packed with detail—even mini versions of me, James, and Tom! 😂💪🏻
Now, before you start asking, no, the rest of the decorations aren’t up yet. BUT when this beauty arrived, how could we not hang it straight away?
Getting it on the door was another workout entirely. First, I tried a suction cup—fail, too heavy. Then a wreath hanger—also not designed for a gym door. So, in true Phoenix Fitness style, I improvised… enter the trusty TRX strap. Problem solved!
Massive shoutout to Lisa and Alex for their creativity and effort! 🎄

After retiring from rugby and facing challenges with his mental health, Kev turned to Phoenix to get fit, feel better, and find a sense of belonging. Fast forward to today:
✔️ Stronger and fitter than ever
✔️ Mental health transformed

Battle Ropes: one of the most “love-to-hate” exercises at Phoenix Fitness. These ropes don’t mess about—they push you right out of your comfort zone, and that’s where the real growth happens. 💪🏻 If you’re not challenging yourself, you’re not changing yourself!
Did You Know? Battle ropes were created in 2006 by John Brookfield, a strongman and athlete who designed them to build strength and endurance. Since then, they’ve become a staple in high intensity training for their insane benefits.
So, why are battle ropes such a game changer? Here are five reasons:
🔥 Full-body workout: They engage arms, shoulders, core, and legs all at once.
💥 Explosive power: Build power and speed with every wave and slam.
🫀 Cardio boost: Elevates heart rate fast, making it great for fat burning.
🧘♂️ Improves stability: Challenges your balance and coordination.
⚡️ Mental strength: These push you out of your comfort zone—ideal for mental toughness.
Here are the 10 battle rope exercises we ran through:
▪️Circles
▪️Double Waves
▪️High Knee Waves
▪️Lateral Lunge Waves
▪️Lunge Waves
▪️Slams
▪️Snakes
▪️Squat Waves
▪️Waves
Keep pushing yourself, and the results will follow. 💯 Let me know which exercise is your “favourite” to hate! 😂

Shoutout to Terry for smashing his personal best deadlift of 120kg at our latest workshop!💥💪🏻 When Terry first joined Phoenix Fitness, he hadn’t worked out in over 20 years and had no experience with free weights or functional training. Fast forward to today, he’s clocked over 300 sessions, built serious strength, and is confidently lifting like an absolute machine.
Looking back at his original intake form, his goals were to lose a stone and get serious about his health—and he’s nailed it. He’s gained a stronger grasp on nutrition, understands how to manage calories, and has consistently worked toward his goals. Every month, he’s hitting his sessions, rarely misses a workout, and tackles every exercise we throw at him (even if he moans when we bump up the weights, we know he secretly loves it!).
💪🏻 Here are some of the key benefits Terry’s achieved so far:
• Increased muscle 🏋️♂️ – Strength to be more active and capable in everyday life
• Decreased body fat 📉 – Feeling lighter and healthier everyday
• Improved cardiovascular health ❤️ – More energy and better endurance
• Enhanced mobility 🤸♂️ – Greater range of motion for functional fitness
• Accountability & community 👥 – Always pushing forward with his gym family
• Solid exercise routine 📅 – Sticking to regular workouts every week
• Nailing healthy eating 🥗 – Knowing exactly how to fuel his goals
Terry’s consistency, hard work, and willingness to get involved in everything we do—from workshops to gym events—make him a legendary member and a joy to have around. Here’s to even more PBs and milestones ahead, Tel. Keep smashing it, mate! 👊🏻

When you train at Phoenix Fitness, you’re not just working out—you’re joining a community. We’re a group of people who love to work hard, have a laugh, and support each other every step of the way. Whether it’s an encouraging word, a bit of banter, or just showing up, we’ve got your back. 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Our coaching focuses on helping you develop strength and perfect your technique, with consistent support on nutrition and regular check-ins to keep you on track. You’ll have everything you need to succeed and achieve a transformation that lasts—because it’s not just about quick fixes, it’s about building habits for the long term.
Training here gets addictive, and it’s a blast to be part of the action! Neil recently left us a review, and here’s what he had to say:
“I’ve really enjoyed Phoenix and it has already hit some personal goals. I enjoy the way the classes are constructed and that it is rare that we repeat sessions exactly. The gym members are what make it special as everyone is supportive and on their own journey!”

We don’t skip leg day at Phoenix Fitness. 🦵🏻👍🏻 If you’re looking to mix up your routine, here’s a bunch of superb leg exercises you can do with just a pair of dumbbells.
🔥 Lateral Lunges 🔥 Pulse Split Squats 🔥 Kneel to Stand 🔥 Good Mornings 🔥 Single Leg Deads 🔥 Calf Raises 🔥 Sprinter Lunges 🔥 Triple Squats 🔥 Hip Raises 🔥 Low Lunges
You could even smash these out bodyweight if that’s more your style. Whether you’re hitting up the gym or training in your living room, give these a go. Aim for 8-12 reps, and don’t rush it—focus on that technique and take your time. 🏋️♂️
These exercises tick all the boxes: flexibility, mobility, strength, muscle gains… plus, they hit different muscles for a well-rounded session. And if you’re using dumbbells, you’ll feel it everywhere—arms, shoulders, back, core.
I’m all about full body workouts, and trust me, it makes a difference. I get it, fitting workouts around work, family, and all the other chaos adult life throws at you isn’t easy. But if you can carve out that time, you’ll notice how it boosts everything else you do. Stronger, fitter, ready to take on the world… or at least the pile of washing you’ve been ignoring. 😂
So yeah, no excuses—get after it! 👊🏻 Let me know which one’s your fave and if you’ve got any other go-to leg moves.
