HOW DO LISTEN TO YOUR BODY ESSENDON SESSIONS WORK


  • Each session runs for 45 minutes

  • There is a Personal Trainer in charge of every session, who will select exercises SPECIFIC for your needs and goals

  • A key difference to other gyms is our PT sessions are not circuit based, so even though there will be others in a session, you will work at your own pace……in your own area……with your own equipment.

  • We don't have rigid or set days of the week where every on that day must do "Cardio" or must do "Strength". Whichever day you attend, each member can book into whichever mode of training they prefer, be it strength, cardio, core or a combo of each.

  • As we are able to customise every single exercise & session just for you, it is the perfect way to get back into a fitness routine……at an intensity just right for your body. Our youngest member is 16 our oldest is 79.

*Weight-loss


*Toning Up


*Strengthening Core Muscles


*Increasing Mobility/Flexibility


*Feeling Fitter & More Energised


*Enhanced Self-Confidence


*Increasing Bone Density (especially important for our members over 50)


***We also run Four YOGA classes per week to assist flexibility, energy & vitality***




WHAT’S OUR SECRET TO SUCCESS


To get you the health & fitness results you are after – we first sit down & take the time to find out exactly what YOU want to achieve.


For many, the primary goal is simply getting back into a healthy routine. For others it is toning up or weight loss.


For older clients, perhaps it's lowering your cholesterol or improving bone density.


If your job involves sitting at a desk for long periods each day - stiffness in the neck, back and shoulders is often a key focus for us to help to resolve.


Our job as PT's is to identify which of these are your goals......sometimes it's all of the above!...... and then work together to achieve them




Once the training starts, we then need to make the sessions fun & enjoyable, so that you look forward to every session. This ensures exercise becomes part of your weekly routine.


This has been the key ingredient to our members long term success……they love coming to a fun and non-intimidating environment.


We deliberately don't have mirrors in our studio, to make the space feel super comfortable for everyone.


HOW MANY SESSIONS DO WE OFFER EACH WEEK



We know everyone has a busy schedule, so we offer over 50 sessions per week, 7 days a week. Yes even Sundays we will be open & working for you!




HOW DO I BOOK IN?


In a busy world of work, kids, study.....we know flexibility is key.




So we have made the process to book or amend your session time super easy. Even if it's last minute.


All sessions are booked via the LTYB app, and you are free to book in or change appointment times up to 10 minutes before the session starts.




For the super organised, sessions can be booked up to 1 month in advance.




WHAT IF I HAVE A HEAP OF INJURY LIMITATIONS? CAN I STILL JOIN?


Yes! We know each member has their our own specific body niggles and limitations, so as your trainer – we take the time to find out exactly what the nature & severity of your injuries are - so that the exercises we prescribe



1) Do not injure you



2) Begin to repair/improve the limitations you have



3) Are matched to your unique goals



We love a challenge, and also enjoy liasing with your medical professional (physio, osteo etc) to work on a rehab program where required.



If you are returning to exercise post-surgery, we can liase with your surgeon and rehab specialist.



WHAT IF I AM REALLY UNFIT AND HAVEN’T BEEN TO A GYM IN YEARS?


Firstly….you won’t be alone! Second....you've come to the right place!!


If your fitness is back to rock bottom, our PT team will initially program at a low intensity then slowly build up as your confidence and fitness base improves.



A lot of new members currently joining have been inactive for a long period of time. Our speciality is motivating anyone back into a routine, no matter how inactive they have been.


And if you are already super fit and looking for a change up to your current routine - there's an endless supply of progressions we can dial you up to.


Each person is working in their own space in the studio - so we can easily accommodate all fitness levels.




WE LOVE FIRST TIMERS TO A GYM!



For beginners – LTYB is a great place to start. Many of our members are “first time in a gym” – and the fear of joining a traditional gym can be intimidating. First timers often say “I have no idea what to do at a gym” or “am I doing this exercise right” or "I am so unfit, I'm worried everyone will be looking at me".



Firstly....many will be just as unfit as you right now, and infinitely more worried about themselves than you. Second, once you have done a few sessions, you'll quickly realise everyone else is in a similar boat as you, just trying to improve themselves to be happier and healthier for daily life.



We also love to teach…...and take great enjoyment in showing newbies how to use gym equipment and get your technique just right.




DO I NEED TO COME ON SPECIFIC DAYS FOR CARDIO? THEN OTHER SPECIFIC DAYS FOR STRENGTH?


No. As it is a real person delivering the exercises, we can deliver ANY programming, on ANY day.


So if you usually do cardio & core on a Monday, but miss that session due to another commitment, just rebook for Tuesday and we will program where ever you are up to in your training sequence.




SAVE MONEY ON BABYSITTERS, BRING THE LITTLE ONES


One of the biggest obstacles for young parents to getting to the gym, is finding a babysitter to mind the little ones while you squeeze in a 45 minute workout.


As the mother of 3 young children, owner Elle has created a beautiful little space for the kids to sit and play whilst you work out.


Its filled with puzzles, building blocks, crayons - and if they are old enough...let YouTube Kids do the babysitting haha. Prams also welcome.




NUTRITION


We are big on guiding your nutrition & healthy eating, but are not into “fad diets”, rapid weight loss, or unsustainable short term results.



We very much have a 52 week a year philosophy, so once we help you lose the weight, we make sure the weight stays off.....FOR GOOD!



Some of our members have been with us for over 15 years. At first we focus on the shifting the weight, then it's a matter of pivoting the programming and nutrition....to keep that weight off.




OTHER KEY BENEFITS YOU WILL ACHIEVE


We've always known the benefits of our sessions have been not just physical, but mental as well.



2020-2021 re-enforced just how crucial organised exercise in a supportive environment is on everyone's mental wellbeing.


We all need an escape from the daily grind of work, study, uncertainty, social media.......so by coming along to our sessions to recharge your batteries and have a laugh with our trainers for 45 minutes, while you exercise, is producing many smiles again.



We know exercise isn't everyone's favourite thing to do, BUT by building a fun atmosphere, our sessions become an enjoyable part of your day.




WHAT DOES IT COST?


The final key ingredient to consistent training is what will it cost.


Any gym membership needs to be affordable and sustainable.



By having multiple people in the same PT session, the costs are shared as compared to a one-on-one PT session which can cost north of $60 per 45 minute session.

Owner & Personal Trainer

It has been a unique journey to the PT world for our owner Andrew. Starting life out of university as a financial adviser in the early 2000s, Andrew then moved overseas and travelled the globe for many years running tours for Contiki. In 2012 he returned to Australia, and planned to work as a Personal Trainer for only one year at Listen To Your Body before getting back to the “real world” of finance and an office job.

Discovering the daily joy of helping people get their health, fitness, positive mindset and self-esteem in order - Andrew stayed a further 5 years, before eventually buying the Strathmore studio in 2017 from the founder LTYB Ben Fletcher.

Andrew is now happily married to wife Elle, and has two young children Angus & Mya

Flick

Yin Yoga Instructor

Felicity ('Flick') has been practicing yoga for more than a decade. In 2022, she became a qualified and certified yoga teacher, training in the hatha style of yoga. Later that year, she also qualified as a yin yoga teacher, a practise that is designed to encompass stretching of the connective tissues in the body and promote a slower, more meditative style. Flick has a particular interest in meditation and breathwork. Her classes also focus on the functional anatomy benefits of yoga and how it can be incorporated as a key addition to a person's overall health and wellness. Not only does she love to practice and teach hot flow yoga and yin, she also enjoys the regular challenge of lifting heavy weights and her favourite piece of gym equipment is the kettlebell! Off the mat, Flick juggles life as a mum of two teens (look out for her 6 ft son Oscar in the Strathmore gym) and is a freelance marketing and PR consultant.

Jane

Yoga Instructor

Jane was introduced to yoga at university. Her first yoga teachers played a big role in helping Jane move beyond thinking of yoga as simply physical exercise, and towards appreciating the subtler, mind-body benefits of yoga - particularly with managing stress and improving mental health. Jane has a background in dance as well as group fitness and instructing Pilates. Her knowledge and practice of safe and functional alignment and movement infuses her classes. She aims to structure and deliver classes in a way where every person feels welcomed, supported, and appropriately challenged, from beginner yogis through to experienced practitioners. Jane completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training and 35-hour Theming and Sequencing training at Yoga Flame in 2022, with a focus on teaching Hatha and Vinyasa style classes. She completed a further 100-hour advanced asana, yoga philosophy, and Ayurveda course in Mysore, India in 2023. When not on the mat, Jane loves getting around on her bike, making up meals from a Ceres fruit and veg box, and getting out in nature for a hike. She's delighted to be joining the LTYB team!
