It's called 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,239 Speaker 1: E three Training and helping pull this one together. Still 8 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,919 Speaker 1: a baker, so I rolled by on the weekend to 9 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:25,959 Speaker 1: have a bit of a nosey and find out some 10 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:26,599 Speaker 1: more about the plate. 11 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 2: So we are a local gym. We're service coming up 12 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 2: six years ago. We're open to females and males. We 13 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 2: are probably more female dominant. We specialize in weight training, 14 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 2: so a lot of strength stuff, and then we also 15 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 2: operate for teenagers. We've got a T and T class 16 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 2: twice a week to help teens kind of build that 17 00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,840 Speaker 2: confidence behind using gym gear and weights. 18 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 3: Before they head off to commercial gyms. 19 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,320 Speaker 2: And yeah, we've got a kids area for the kids 20 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 2: to come along while you work out. And we've also 21 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,600 Speaker 2: got a dog area because we're very much dog people. 22 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: Sometimes I feel like kids go on the dogs and 23 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,160 Speaker 2: the dogs go on the kids zone, which everyone. 24 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,000 Speaker 3: Who knows me well thinks that there's how I should 25 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 3: have done it. 26 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,040 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's a great, great environment. We bring our 27 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 2: dogs down clients. There's always dogs here. They've got a 28 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: special shelter for them. Otherwise they can just be tied 29 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 2: up and they join them with the clients on their runs, 30 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 2: and then it's also good socializing. 31 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 3: For them too. 32 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,039 Speaker 1: It's funny you say that strength is one of the 33 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,720 Speaker 1: priorities because I look around here and I don't see 34 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 1: too many of those scary machines that have all the 35 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: wires and the weights. 36 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 3: Yeah. 37 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 2: No, we are very much big believers in free weights 38 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: because at the end of the day, when you were 39 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 2: moving stuff around home, you haven't got a cable supporting 40 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:45,080 Speaker 2: you or a support system there, so it's you lifting 41 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,080 Speaker 2: the weight and you moving with it. So learning how 42 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: to do that correctly I think super important for functional 43 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: everyday life. But no strength training is building just support 44 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: around the joints and creating stability. 45 00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 3: It also helps improve mobility, but. 46 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 2: Also long activity in life as well being able to 47 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 2: be independent and doing things for yourself. Because you see 48 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: a lot of people as they get older who haven't 49 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: done a lot of strength training things become a little 50 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 2: bit harder, and they become more reliant on other people 51 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 2: to support them, and you do age a lot quicker physically. 52 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: So strength training is just giving people back their independence 53 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,160 Speaker 2: and confidence in life. 54 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 1: So it's bulking up and getting ripped just a heavy 55 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: consequence of that. 56 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: Well, that's also like it's obviously a confidence booster all 57 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: about the protein shakes, but yeah, like no steroids or 58 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 2: anything around here, but we definitely encourage your high protein 59 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 2: diets and keeping fluids up and just helping the muscles 60 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: with recovery and feeding them. 61 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: Those big black tubs of powder. Do they actually do something? 62 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 3: They do? 63 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: Yes, they do help with recovery, and they also help 64 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 2: keep your appetites down as well because it keeps you 65 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,680 Speaker 2: full of for longer. But that's just a good snack 66 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 2: is in between on the go and also post workouts too. 67 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: Yeah. Right, So what do you feel makes the space. 68 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: Unique other than the fact that we're the only gem 69 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 2: that provides a kids zone and a dog zone. Probably 70 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 2: like we're quite community based. 71 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 3: We very much. We know all our clients that come 72 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 3: in the door. 73 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 2: I can ask them on a Friday what they're doing 74 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: and chicken on a Monday and ask them how the 75 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 2: weekend was with whatever they told me was heaping Friday. 76 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 3: For the weekend. 77 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 2: So, yeah, we're very community based, very involved with our clients. 78 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 3: We try to. 79 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 2: Do a lot of stuff for the community, fundraiser wise 80 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 2: or New Zealand wide for things that were special to us. 81 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 2: And yeah, we just like to get behind people and 82 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: support them, lift them up. We're not about who looks 83 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: the best, who's the fittest, the skinniest, or the fastest. 84 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 2: We're about making sure that everyone feels welcome and everyone's 85 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 2: included in the gym space. 86 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: Hey, so a couple more questions. What's the E three 87 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: stand for? 88 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 3: I get asked it quite a lot. 89 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: So it goes back to when I first kind of 90 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: got into the industry and things like I had personal training. 91 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 2: I also had a lot of rehability for people. That's 92 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: probably a focus that I'm quite passionate about is rehab 93 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 2: post injuries and things. And then the other one was 94 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:12,119 Speaker 2: the group classes. So we had personal training, group classes 95 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 2: and then the rehabilitations. They're kind of the three things. 96 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:21,039 Speaker 2: The ball represents strength and courage, and then the triangle 97 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 2: is because the triangle shape is one of the Strongest 98 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 2: shapes and it's three equal sides. 99 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 1: So you talk about some of those fun charity events 100 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: and I remember coming along to one not so long ago. 101 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: I see that there's a post drop now for us 102 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 1: at the seventh of November. What's going on here? 103 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,039 Speaker 2: Yeah, So this time around we are doing Stepping Up 104 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 2: for twenty four hours for kids with cancer. 105 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 3: We've got a client who. 106 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 2: Is one of the companions for Camp Quality, which is 107 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 2: a self funded camp that has run for kids with cancer. 108 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 3: It's a week away from. 109 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 2: I guess the hospitals, the cancer environment and stuff. 110 00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 3: They can go away, have some fun. 111 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: They've got a companion them at all times, and it's 112 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 2: just a really fun event for a whole week for 113 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 2: these kids where they just get to be kids again. 114 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: And so she asked us if we would do something 115 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,719 Speaker 2: to support it. So we're like, yep, let's get into it. 116 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 2: Last year we did a fundraiser with a boy and 117 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 2: ash burten with cancers. So this year we're doing it 118 00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:20,719 Speaker 2: for the Camp Quality and so we're stepping Up for 119 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 2: twenty four hours. There is you get to go onto 120 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 2: teams and your teams, you get to sleep them. The 121 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: idea is the box that you're assigned for. Your team 122 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 2: is stepped up on the whole twenty four hours, so 123 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 2: you can tag people in and out, and there is 124 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 2: fees to join. But the idea is that all that 125 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 2: money goes towards it. We'll have a bake sale and 126 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: we'll have heaps of stuff that we're going to be 127 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 2: auctioning off and doing raffles as well, and one hundred 128 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 2: percent of the proceeds go towards it. 129 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: That is a pretty powerful motivator. 130 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's pretty cool. 131 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 2: A lot of people they've said, you know, that's a 132 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 2: long time or that's really hard. 133 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, it is, But. 134 00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,359 Speaker 2: The same time, kids goma cancer is harder, Like they 135 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 2: don't have a cho weye. 136 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 3: We're asking people to give. 137 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 2: Even if it's two to five minutes of their time 138 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,799 Speaker 2: stepping on a box, it's for a good cause. 139 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 3: So it'd be cool to have people come down. 140 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 2: Kids are welcome, if people are keen, We're going to 141 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 2: be posting more about it.
