This shutdown has included gyms, and indoor sporting venues. As a result the See Change gym doors are now be closed.

What you’ll need to do?

  1. Continue to book your session through Mindbody or the See Change PT app.
  2. Make sure your personal details are up to date
  3. Set up your space to exercise
  4. Download the Zoom app on the device you plan to use.
  5. You’ll receive a video link and a calendar invitation for your session
  6. Use your smart phone, iPad or laptop to login to your session (please login 2-3 mins before your session)

Questions:

What will happen to my current group training sessions on my account? – You can use your regular group training sessions for the video conferencing.  Our trainers will be paid for each of the training sessions they run online.  The video conferencing line will remain open after class so you can chat to the trainer and other participants.   If you have any concerns please reach out to Maree or your trainer.

Can I do one on One personal training via video conferencing?  If you are already training with a PT, you can organize that directly with them.  If you would like to set up with a personal trainer, please contact us.

Class changes and Training Options

Hygiene: You will now see in classes that you will be asked to wash your hands before we start any class.  We are also trying to limit the equipment used in sessions where possible.  Any equipment used is set aside to be disinfected before it is returned to the racks.  Hand sanitizer pumps will be installed in every room as soon as they arrive – they are on backorder.

Class changes: Some See Change classes will be modified slightly during this time – MetaPWR sessions will be run as MetaFIT being a bodyweight class rather than equipment.   Boxing glove inners will be worn at all boxing sessions. Check the app for the latest classes.

Class sizes: Please book your sessions in via the app as we will be limiting class sizes to ensure we can still keep appropriate “social distance” for our clients.

Outdoor sessions: We are still running our outdoor bootcamp and running sessions.  We will also look to add another outdoor running and bodyweight session – keep an eye out for this one.

Extra outdoor classes: Extra outdoor sessions have been added to ensure our class sizes stay under the limit and to cater for people working from home.  Keep an eye on our See Change PT app as any class changes are automatically uploaded onto the app.

PT Clients – If you are a PT client for a one on one or buddy session, you are also welcome to request an outdoor session if this makes you more comfortable. Please contact your trainer to organize this. We are happy to hear your requests / suggestions for the coming period.  Our aim is to keep you safe, fit and healthy.

We appreciate your cooperation and compliance.

Please feel free to contact us if required.

 

Stay safe and well,

Spartan Kids 2020

To our See Change Spartan kids – congratulations on everyone’s first Spartan event. They are all super keen to do another one. It may be the lolly snakes, hot chips and jam donuts… but “best day ever” and Ollie didn’t want to shower or take off his medal afterwards. Special thanks to Luca who took the little ones under her wing and was kind and encouraging the whole way. So beautiful to see.

Bush Fire Fund Raiser Workout and BBQ

Join us on Friday January 10th to help raise much needed funds to aid those suffering from the recent bushfires across the country.

All funds raised will be donated to Red Cross who distribute these finances to help the recovery of communities affected by this disaster.

5:30pm – FREE Workout
6:15pm – FREE Sausage Sizzle and drinks

The evening is about coming together as a community – if you are not in a position to donate, or have donated in other ways, please still join us. There is no pressure to pay for anything. We will have a donation box and an eftpos machine (throw the eftpos receipt into the donation box). If you would like to bring a salad, please do. We have a nut allergy in our community, so please if you bring something, make it nut free.

A number of our clients had close encounters with these fires through their holidays camping and visiting family.

If you are unable to attend and would like to donate, this is the link to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.

There are a number of other great organisations if you wish to support the animals that have also suffered.

We hope to see you Friday. To give us an idea of numbers for catering, please book in via the See Change App. No payment will be taken off your account.

Thanks! Maree and the See Change team.

Join our Spartan team

If you (or your kids) have ever wanted to try an obstacle race, now is your time.  This event is at Marvel Stadium on Saturday Feb 15th.  Pop it on the calendar and join our kids or adult teams and have some fun with us.

Click here for more info and to register yourself online . If you register before 24th Dec 2019, use the code MARVELLOUS20AU to get 20% off your adult entry fee.

We have teams in the following waves:

Kids – Feb 15th, 9:30am (Team – See Change PT Kids)

Adult Open – Feb 15th, 11:40am (Team – See Change PT)

If the wave we are in is full, choose the closest time to ours and we will sort it out. 

It is heaps of fun.  Lots of obstacles without too much running.  When I say running, it is a bit more of a casual jog where you can easily chit chat with other team mates.

Check out our photos from our last Spartan Sprint event – lots of fun.
