Peak Fighters 2010

Relay for Life Report – February 2010

The Weekend of 27^th and 28^th February was another awesome one. Seventy four teams took part in the annual Relay for Life Fundraiser for the HB Cancer Society. Once again, this was held at Tareha Reserve, Guppy Road in Taradale and our Peak Fighters Team was part of it. (This is the 6^th year in a row!) With a few newcomers on the team this year, it was shaping up to be a good one!

Our Awesome Team for 2010 were:

Peter Hibbard, Michael Ungerer, Ethan Foote, Ana Brooks, Cherie Allen, Kirsten Newton, Laura Bary, Adam & Kate Jones, Jess & Dimi Hanara, Brenda Gowan, Steph Nicholson, Lisa Ju & Jess Kite, Sue Taaffe, Jo Corke, Andy & Charissa Barham plus all the kids belonging to us, all helped out too!.

Fundraising was easy this year as we organised a twelve hour Group Fitness Xtravaganza in December 09 and held our $2 classes for the month of February. It was great to have all the money raised well before the event. Theme laps this year were “Stars in your Eyes” and “Black & White Sports Teams” and we joined in the fun as always. The overall result was 13^th out of 74 teams with over 335 laps acomplished and our team's total amount raised was $2865.80.

The weather was kinder to us this year with no downpours of rain and we enjoyed joining in the “Zumba” presentation early Sunday morning. The delicious breakfast smells gave us new energy and enthusiasm to last till lunchtime. Believe you me, 24 hours does go fast but the last few hours are hard yards on little sleep!

Thank you to Jess & Dimi for providing the tent for another year and to all of our team that helped pack up the gear before heading home for a much deserved sleep. You guys are awesome!

Groovy Winter Launch 2010

Charissa — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 01:08:17 +0000

Launch Report – 2nd Quarter 2010 – Wednesday 16 June 2010

What a fabulous Rpm morning class and massive night ! – created by a real happy buzz as the All Whites drew 1-1 against Slovakia during the night. Lisa and Sue took the regulars through their paces at 6.00am with the launch of RPM 47.

The Multi class on the same day was well supported by our members. All of them dressed in white to support the "All Whites" and with the Fluro lights in the GF room, it was amazing! Apart from step (we partied 80’s style – Rob, Brenda & Sarah looked like a combination of Richard Simmonds, Madonna and Leoroy & Cocoa from Fame all in one!), we grooved to all the releases in the dark but glowed beautifully and we were definitely seen!

The order of the night was Step, Pump, Vive, then followed by a half time break, then we continued with Attack, Combat and Balance.

At half time, we called out 6 numbers randomly and we asked those members to show off their soccer skills. Dee White, Fiona Bussell, Caroline Morton, Alice, Anne and Wendy Barnett had to shoot for goal, dribble the ball around the cones and do a header into the goal. All of them received a bottle of wine for their efforts and Fiona won a pair of skins. There were some great shots and skills shown.

Instructors dressed in soccer shirts representing different countries and knee high socks which looked a delight! Jess impressed us with her core and balance strength in Combat while Rob & Steph turned up the fun in Attack. Charissa and Graeme were impressive in white, while Jess, Steph, Brenda & Adam picked the 6 minute lunge track for the Pump Demo.

The week was completed with 2 dress up classes for BodyStep 80. Jo Goodsir, Peter Hibbard, Geraldine Edwards and Raewyn Ward-Welch made a real effort in dressing up in 80’s gear for the launch of Step. Well done to you all. Hope the Friday class enjoyed the cupcakes and choccie slice!

The All Whites continued to have success at the Fifa World Cup in South Africa and Drew 1-1 against Italy and followed that up with 0-0 against Paraquay. Unfortunately, they were unable to make the final 16 even though they were unbeaten; but the All Whites can hold their heads up high for their success. So can we, for a great Launch week!

By getting out of the studio and into nature, you can experience yoga as it was originally intended. "Being outdoors gives you access to a whole other world of sensations. It helps you feel part of a boundless existence, at one with an intelligent and sympathetic universe. The pure unpredictability of being outside and exposed to the elements can strengthen an existing practice or inspire a new one.

The Les Mills Multi Module Weekend April 3-5 2009

Charissa — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 20:34:17 +0000

This was organised and held at Peak Fitness, Havelock North for 23 trainees throughout Hawkes Bay. Peak Fitness registered 8 trainees, Contours Napier 8, Bay City Gym in Napier 3, Aspyre Gym in Hastings 3 and 1 trainee came up from City Fitness in Palmerston North.

Our three fabulous International trainers were Sarah Robinson, Bevan James Eyles and Sarah Ostergard and this was the first time Les Mills had ever run a Multi Module weekend for the whole 8 programmes that Les Mills has to offer. Some trainees decided to get value for money and registered in 2 programmes over the weekend.

The programmes involved:
RPM – 8 trainees
BodyPump – 9 Trainees
BodyStep – 3 trainees
BodyCombat – 4 Trainees
Body Attack – 2 trainees
BodyVive – 4 trainees
BodyJam – 4 trainees
BodyBalance – 5 trainees

The weekend started with a Multi 1.5 hour Group Fitness class opened to members and trainees and the room was packed out. We had so much fun trying to Jam it like Sarah R, squat like Sarah O and kick as high as Bevan J in BodyAttack!

There was theory as well as physical exercises and we always began with a funny icebreaker game at the start of every session. The 5 Key Elements of Les Mills are: Choreography, Role Model Technique, Coaching Mastery, Connecting and Creating Fitness Magic. All trainees went through these compulsory topics and had to be competent in all of them by the end of the three day weekend. While the majority of the training was done in one large group, there was plenty of downtime where trainees could prepare for their presentations – one on Saturday and the final on Sunday. We were scrutinised from head to toe and received lots of positive feedback along the way.

No Les Mills module is complete until you do the “Fitness Challenge”. This welcomes you into the The Les Mills family and is designed to push yourself to the limit to see if you have got what it takes! We had the “100 Club” test – 100 benchpresses, 100 plyometric lunges, 100 bicep curls, 100 O.T.T double squats and 50 sprint lengths with 10 jabs at each end of the room after we warmed up, which was a run around Anderson Park!! Believe it or not, I thought this was actually fun, in a crazy sort of way and paired up with a trainee from another gym. We made so much noise and commotion that members and passerbys stopped to look in to see what we were up to. The first pair home to complete the Fitness Challenge were Jess Hanara and Lisa Ju from Peak Fitness who worked together as a team beautifully and had great strategies. Well done to you both.

The Weekend finally came to an end and there were many exhausted bodies and fatiqued minds at the end of it. Our final presentation was marked and we awaited confirmation of a “Pass” or “Re-sit”. All Eight trainees at Peak Fitness and Health passed the module and now have 12 weeks to video a Group Fitness class that they teach. This is forwarded onto Les Mills in Auckland where it is analysed by the Assessors. A Certificate is awarded to the successful trainees. This enables them to teach a Group Fitness class without supervision from other Qualified Staff.
Peak Fitness are very proud of their staff that attended the module and feel 100% confident the gym will continue to deliver to the highest standard in Hawkes Bay.
Well done to Ngaio Lewis, Anna Brooks, Anna Kay, Stephanie Nicolson, Lisa Ju, Sue Taaffe, Jess Hanara and Brenda Gowan.
