1. What are your fitness goals?
My main goal is to improve my fitness so I can have a healthy balanced life to enjoy life to the fullest with my family. I am also looking to lose a little bit of weight which will come by focussing on my first goal and improve my nutrition. When I started this I set myself a goal to run 5km straight, I have now done that 3 times now! My goal is to now run 5km under 30 minutes consistently. I am also keen to start doing longer runs.
UPDATE: Has completed numerous 10km and half marathon runs including City to Surf and other events around the country. His running times have been slashed and he is always looking to improve.
2. What excites you about achieving these goals?
I am proud of what I have been able to achieve in this short time. I am also loving the feeling and improved fitness levels. In October I was awarded Gungahlin parkrunner of the month due to my results there. That was the first sporting award I have ever received!
3. What are the first 5 things on your bucket list?
To run City2Surf, to try scuba diving, climb mount Kilimanjaro, cage diving with sharks and learn to skydive solo.
4. What do you like about Elements4Life?
The community feeling in the club. The support from the coaches and other E4LAthletes.
5. Why is Elements4Life and Focus PT different compared to your previous fitness experiences?
There is support from the coaches, not just here is a programme knock yourself out. The ability to have honest discussions. It’s safe and comfortable.
6. What is your favourite fitness skill or workout?
I like the group sessions where there is lots of variety.
7. What does a healthy lifestyle mean to you?
It means investing in myself for my family.
8. What event or adventure would you like to do in the near future?
I really enjoyed the recent Pigeon House Mountain Climb we did as a group. I would be interested in those kind of challenges.

What Our
Clients Say
‘Service’ defined as ‘the action of helping or doing work for someone’ - the service that Elements 4 Life provides goes beyond this. The coaches are genuine, their approach to training is exciting and progressive, you will be supported and challenged to be the best version of yourself – mind and body. Then there’s the amazing people, our E4L community, this is what makes the gym so unique to all the other gyms I’ve been a member of. 
Sab and Erin offer a personalised and uniquely supportive approach to fitness. Be it classes or personal training everyone, regardless of ability, is catered for. I have trained with them for over two years now and can not speak more highly of them. They have supported me through both injury and illness without a second thought. It is not just a gym, we're a community. 
Sab, Erin, and Joe are a great team who work hard to not only a gym but a thriving community. They also don't just get you to throw weights around the place but to think constructively about your training, own it and do the work whilst shaping lifestyle changes that last for the long term.
Elements4Life is different. It is not your bog standard gym. Here you will be challenged to become reflective, encouraged to join a community and become one with your health and well-being. Love this place and the best decision I made in 2019 was to become a member of E4L.

- **Endurance and Strength:** Today’s exercises focus on building endurance and strength, reflecting the resilience of the ANZACs.

- **Reflection and Respect:** Take moments within the session to reflect on the sacrifices made for our freedoms.
