David Flynn, master PT at Bayswater 24/7 fitness, rugby league player 20+ years rugby league coach 5+ years, group trainer & PT 5+ years tells us more about the NEWFIT programs ...

"I am proud & excited to launch our brand new,  functional classes NEWFIT, this is a totally original concept I have designed from the ground up to be a constantly progressing results based program covering all fitness levels from absolute beginner to advanced athlete. It's designed to be functional, efficient & above all fun! We utilise our newly renovated functional class space with various floor markings & stations that cover a huge range of exercises & movements in a results based program. NEWFIT truly has something for everyone

NEWFIT will be an additional cost to membership as it is designed to be Small Group Training with an emphasis on results and personalised attention. Perfect for anyone seeking more individualised attention than they can receive in large group fitness classes. It's also a good addition to anyone currently using a Personal Trainer.   

How to do a Lat Pulldown properly by Lisa Hall - Physiotherapist at Newtown Gym

Have you ever wondered am I doing this exercise properly?

Our Video Presenter and Physiotherapist at Newtown Gym, Lisa Hall takes us through the do’s and dont's of performing a lat pulldown  exercise. See the video version of this article here

This is the first in a series of articles on how to do an exercise properly. Remember – doing an exercise incorrectly is not only unlikely to work the targeted muscle group in the desired fashion, it can also lead to injury.

1. Lat Pulldowns - the incorrect technique

Note in this incorrect technique the bar is at the back of the neck and the head pointed down. The Lat Pulldown places a lot of stress on the anterior joint capsule of the shoulder and can eventually lead to impingement or even rotator cuff tears. 

2. Lat Pulldowns - the correct technique part one (starting position):

To start the movement : Lean back a little from your hips. Bring the shoulder blades down and back and pull the bar right down to your chest. 

Squeeze and hold your shoulder down for 2-3 seconds at the end. 

Returning the bar upwards to finish the movement - as for the shoulders; we want those to come down as much as possible. As you raise the bar up, focus on keeping the shoulder pushing down towards the ground.

So what's your excuse?

Being in the fitness industry for many years I have heard many excuses. And after a quick pow wow with the others here and at our sister gym Bayswater 24/7 Fitness we decided to come up with some of the best ones we have heard to date. Watch out on our Facebook page as we will be posting some humorous, some thought provoking examples of reasons why people don't start or take up fitness again after a break.

Although we may be preaching to the converted - after all the majority of you are members - let's not forget that we once had a really good excuse. And some of us (myself included!) are still good at coming up with excuses from time to time. We are only humans, after all!
