Last Week Coming Up!

Hi Guys,

 

The Evolution is drawing close to an end with just over 1 week left!

I don’t know about you guys but the Evolution Challenge just feels like it’s gone by so quick!

 

Next week we will be re-doing all the Evolution members BIA tests. All of you should have had this done at the beginning of the challenge and having it re-done in the last week will show the great progress that you have all made.

The testing will be next Thursday 1^st September from 2pm – 6pm. The bookings will be in 10 minutes slots i.e. 2pm, 2:10pm etc

Bookings can be made by emailing me at anna@genesisfitness.co.nz, speaking to staff at reception, or calling us on 520 3455.

 

If you’re unable to make it into the gym during this time for your BIA test, you will need to see the Tarry at her Newmarket office on Great South rd before Friday. Email Tarryn at tarryn@discoverhealth.co.nz or call her on 520 1447 to make a booking.

 

Several members have told me that they’re worried about their BIA results because they haven’t lost any weight on the scales. Keep in mind that the BIA test will calculate your fat loss as well as muscle gain. You will earn 10 points for every 500g of fat lost and 10 points for every 500g of muscle gained.  So if you’ve lost 500g of fat and gained 500g of muscle then you earn 20 points.

But really, whatever you’ve lost or gained on the scales isn’t what we’re calculating the points from.

 

 

Saturday 3^rd September – Bootcamp Challenge @ 8.30am & Partaay @ 7.30pm J

 

I mentioned earlier in the challenge that we would hold a Bootcamp challenge on the last Saturday of the challenge. Juddy has been planning out a way to thrash you guys but we have decided not reveal exactly what the challenge will be....can’t have you guys training for it before hand. The challenge will be relay type activities but it is all designed to be fair no matter your fitness or skill level. The Bootcamp will start at 8.30pm and will be done here using the College Rifles facilities. Juddy will take you guys through a 20-30mintue Bootcamp session first, and at the end will be when we’ll run the relays between the teams.

Points are given for participation so you want to get as many of your team to attend and participate. Points will also be given depending on the placing of your team. Team Captains will be included in the Challenge also J

I will let you know later in the week the points that can be earned from the Bootcamp challenge.

 

 

Then that evening at 7.30pm we have arranged exclusive hire of Juice Bar in Parnell for our gym partaay. The party is to celebrate the end of the Evolution Challenge, although all members are welcome. Also feel free to bring partners or a friend.  There are lots of prizes to be won including a GHD, wine, plenty of vouchers and more!

It would be great to get as many of you as we could there on the night as it’s guaranteed to be a great time. All of the staff will be there and don’t worry....we will be eating and drinking!

 

 

So book for you BIA test, get raring to go for the Bootcamp Challenge and then I hope to see you all at the partaay in your fancy gears!

We will be judging by:

Originality – Anyone can bake a good chocolate or banana cake but we want to see something different

Taste – Very important!

Texture – Nothing worse than a dry hard piece of cake

Presentation – All of my best tasting cakes have been the worst looking so it’s got to taste and look good

Sin Value – how guilty are we going to feel eating this

 

Each of these will be scored out of 10 so overall you overall score will be out of 50.

 

 

The cake must be submitted by Friday at 11am and the whole cake must be submitted as there will be several judges.

 

1^st Place – 100 points

2^nd Place – 70 points

ATHENA'S MIGHTY WARRIOR!

 

Re: Viva - Team Athenas pic for FB

 

 

Hi there all, well I am back into it as of Monday morning!.  Done my four gyms visits this week and have now clocked up five classes for the month so far and will knock the other 2 off next week!!   Sorry I missined the get together last night.  You guys are all doing awesome thanks for going hard while I was away last week.  Here are a few photos you maybe interested in.  Some from our last Villager visit and one of me working out on our skiing holiday – real snow not artificial grass to work out on!! and what a view!!!  I was hoping to attach these photos so they were in the message and you did not have to open them up but could not work that one out?? Maybe one of you can as I have sent this to the blog also. 

 

Look forward to seeing you at the gym.  I am going way hard on the weight loss points over the next five weeks which will be a real challenge for me, but I think I can do it!

 

Cheers Jo Dakin

GOOD DAY SIR/MADAM

Email: barrister_fernandez@lawyer.com

Good Day,

Firstly, please accept my apology for sending you this sensitive information via mail with out meeting you in person. This is due to the urgency and importance of the matter at hand. The development am about to unfold will be based on Trust, confidentiality and sincerity of purpose in order to have an acceptable meeting of the minds. I am fifty two (52) years old established lawyer. My name is Barrister. Fernandez Manuel Tomas Esq., a legal representative and personal Attorney to an expatriate and a contractor with an Independent Petroleum, Exploration & Production Oil Company - PERENCO (Now deceased) He died in the Tsunami disaster on 26th December 2004 while on vacation in Indonesia.

Seven years ago, My Client successfully executed a contract for the Spanish government worth US$16.5 million dollars. A part payment of USD8.million dollars was paid to my client, while the balance of USD8.5 million Dollars was still unpaid before my client died in the Indian Ocean Tsunami disaster. However, all my efforts to locate his next of kin proved abortive after his demise, He was not married and was 44years old.
NOW THE CRUX OF THIS LETTER is that the government of Spain is fully paying all foreign contractors who have successfully executed their contracts and my client is among those to benefit in this first quarter payment schedule, which has already been deposited with his bank. As his personal Attorney/Adviser, his bank has officially notified and instructed me to forward particulars of my client's next of kin within the next 14 official working days so that he/she can be paid the outstanding USD8.5 Million dollars otherwise his fund will be diverted to the government coffers account as unclaimed bill.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating any of his relatives, I decided to contact you for a deal so that we can work together as a team to remit the money to your account as my client next of kin since I do not want to seat and watch my client hard earned entitlement to go astray, it will be easy for us to achieve because you are of the same country like him. Although I know that a transaction of this magnitude might make anyone apprehensive but I would like to assure you that I am proposing this project to you with the best of intensions. As an Attorney, I have the power to secure all the necessary legal documents that will be used for this claim.

All I require from you is your honest co-operation to enable us see this deal through. I guarantee that this transaction will be executed under a Legitimate banking arrangement that will protect you from any breach of law. Upon successful conclusion of this project, you will be compensated with 45% of the total fund, while 55% will be for me.
If you are interested to work with me in this deal, kindly reply strictly to my personnel Email: barrister_fernandez@lawyer.com and also give a call to my direct telephone number +34 603 157 603. as above or you can equally send a fax with your personal Telephone /fax number for effective communication and oral clarification on how to proceed next.

Kindest Regards,

Barrister. Fernandez Manuel Tomas Esq

Bonus Challenge - Viva Latin Dance

Hi guys,

 

Just counted up the points earned from last week and Zeus is still sitting on top with Athena following close behind them.

 

For this week’s Bonus Challenge we’re pulling out something that we did last year…..

Viva Latin Dance class Thursday night @ 7pm

 

Each team member that attends and participates in the whole class will earn 10 points. You must wear your Evolution t-shirt to earn the points, and we’ll have a dance off between one member from each team where extra points can be earned.

 

Although there is one more thing….you must get a photo of your team members some time during the class and post this up on the Genesis Fitness Remuera Facebook page. This needs to be done by this Sunday 31^st otherwise you do not earn any points for your teams attendance.

 

The rules:

-          Evolution t-shirt must be worn (for those few who don’t have their t-shirts yet this does not include you)

-          You cannot be anymore than 10minutes late to the class

-          You cannot leave the class early

-          A photo of your team members participating in the class needs to be posted on Facebook by end of Sunday 31^st

-          Have fun!

 

 

 

FYI…we’ve had a lot of Evolution members suggest some sort of challenge between each team that also includes the team captains.

We are definitely looking to do some sort of Bootcamp relay for the last Bonus round. It has not been decided yet what exactly will be involved in the challenge, but we’re looking to hold this the end of the last week on Saturday 3^rd September.

 

We’re also in the midst of planning the party for the end of the 12 Week Challenge. This will also be on Saturday 3^rd September and will be held at the Paddington in Parnell. The party was a big hit last year and a great end to the challenge and it would be great to have you all attend J

 

 

Keep up the good work!

 

 

Anna

 

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

 

Ye ha!!! That’s great to hear – HUGE thanks to the 2 Jo’s for their rather phenomenal results although everyone gave it their best shot and we had an amazing final score! I found it incredibly difficult and both the mind and the body let me down but I will make up for it by grabbing any other points I can.

 

That’s brilliant that we have climbed another notch to 2^nd place. Now we have to maintain the pace and chase down that 1^st place position…….it shouldn’t be too hard for warriors like us!

 

A reminder that it’s joker week this week so if you’re planning on using it you should plan out your classes for the month and make sure you get the full benefits from it. I used it last month but found it only really worked when I did classes that I wouldn’t normally do during the joker week. If anyone is still not sure about how it works please email and I’m happy to go over it.

 

According to my calendar we have Jenifer, Jo Darbyshire, Claire and Andrea away this week. Di, JoDaikin  and Sarita all head away later in the week too. Those of us still here need to head into the gym for a minimum of 4 visits to maximise everyone’s points. We won’t be getting any points for Jennifer for the next 2 weeks as she has used up her ‘away’ allowance (she has assured us that she’ll make it up to us in weight loss points at the end of the challenge – no pressure Jennifer!). Can everyone let me know how many gym visits they are going to do this week – It’s good if I can keep a record just in case we need to check anything with Anna.

 

Don’t forget Rick’s boot camp on Wednesday morning – I can’t believe I’m thinking about getting up at 5.30am in the school holidays! To be honest, I probably wouldn’t be but Jo Daikin convinced me I should.

 

Keep up the great work everyone and start planning out your 7 classes for the month.

 

Have fun out there

Maree

Hey Team,   i hope this email finds finds everyone healthy and well. I just wanted to fill you in on some positive news. We WON the DB Hold challenge!  Well done ladies you should be very proud of yourselves. I have to say it again, that was one impressive performance and a total team effort. We are climbing the ladder and currently sitting in 2nd place. We must keep up the pace and and stick together. We need everyone to chip in and do what they can to keep things rolling along. Have a great week and I hope to see everyone at the gym! Train hard and eat well!   Rick

 

Faster than a speeding bullet....

 

Points, points and more points!!

Hi All

 

Just a gentle reminder to those that are unfortunate enough to still be in Auckland -  we should all try to do our 4 sessions this week as we have about 5 people away. If we all do 4 sessions then all those that are away also receive maximum points. Having clawed our way up from 4th to 3rd place we don't want to slip back down!

 

Also, remember that Sunday is the end of the 1st 4 weeks and you must have completed your 7 different classes or your joker week + 2 X 2 other classes to gain maximum points. This is what makes a big difference in the points table so it will be interesting to see what happens next week. Nearly everyone has managed to gain full points for the classes so keep up the good work and start planning ahead for next month.

 

Thanks for the class this morning Rick - I have to confess that I woke at 1am to the rain and wind lashing the house and prayed that I'd forgotten to set my alarm, but alas, at 5.30am that persistent beeping woke me! As Diane said though, once it's done one does feel rather smug and virtuous.

 

Happy exercising everyone and I hope that those that are tackling the challenge this week are strengthening those shoulder muscles!

Maree

 

Evolution T-Shirts Have Arrived!

Our Evolution T-shirts have finally arrived at the gym J

 

See one of the staff members at the gym and they’ll grab your t-shirt for you.

 

We may even throw in some extra points at some stage for teams wearing their t-shirts J

 

 

 

Keep up the good work guys!

Week 3 Bonus Challenge

This week we have a exciting challenge that involves strength and endurance. Time to put all this gym training you guys have been doing to good use!

 

Straight arm DB front raise hold –

5 team members must perform this exercise while a staff member times them. Depending on how long you hold the dumbbell up for, will depend on how many points you earn for your team.

 

The rules:

 

-          Bum, shoulders against the wall with head back. Feet can be a foot length away from the wall.

-          Elbows must be locked and cannot bend during the exercise

-          Women hold 3kg and men hold 7kg

-          Dumbbell must be held at shoulder height and if it drops your time is stopped

-          You must hold the dumbbell up using the correct technique and a staff member will time how long it is held for

-          For every 30seconds you will earn 5 points

-          You must make either the minute or half a minute mark otherwise you do not earn the 5 points

-          Only 5 team members are to participate

-          Challenge must be complete by Friday

 

Once all team members have completed the challenge, we will add up the times and you’ll earn 5points for every 30 seconds.

 

So amongst your teams, decide on the strongest 5 people to do the challenge and come see myself, Sia of Callum to time you for the exercise.

 

In case any of you are unsure of what the exercise is, I have added a photo of one of our instructors Sia performing the exercise. Sia ended up holding the dumbbell up for 2minutes and 30seconds.

 

Points update will be done by the end of today.

 

 

Keep up the good work guys!

Hey Team, I hope this email finds everyone well. Two weeks down and we are in the race but I think we may have to pick it up a bit. Remember if anyone wants me to have a look at their nutrition I'll be more than happy to help out. Looking forward to boot camp tomorrow....dress warm!   Train hard! Rick

 

Coming 2nd on the table

Well done everyone!! Moved up to second on the table this week, great effort.  Must say I am feeling pretty tired doing all the extra classes, lets hope some progress is being made on the look of my body?   (no need to reply as to your thoughts on this thanks!)

 

The big points will come at the end of the week with the bonus pts for the number of classes, so as Jennifer says book in if you have more classes to do.  Look forward to seeing you on Wednesday evening.  Keep up the good work.  Cheers Jo D

First Bonus Challenge on the

“First Bonus Round Challenge!

 

We’re into our second week of the 12 Week Challenge and Ares is in the lead by only by a few points. Well done to all teams for a great start and commendations on the many planning and training sessions done already across all teams

 

This week we’ve got a Bonus Challenge where each team can earn up to 100 extra points for their team!

 

Just get 5 people from your team to ‘like’ the Genesis Fitness Remuera Facebook page as well as write the answer to this question in the ‘comment’ section on the page. It’s 20 points per person that likes and comments, although only a maximum of 5 people per team can earn the 20 points each.

The riddle is this...

 

·         What does the abbreviation ‘MHR’ stand for in relation to exercise?

 

Please put your answer in the status bar on the Genesis Fitness Remuera page, along with the team name and we can go from there.

We’ll collate the points and post on Monday along with joker points.

 

 

This must be done by 5pm Sunday.

 

If you are not on facebook, you just need to find someone who is

 

Okey Dokey??

 

 

 

 

Happy updating guys

 

JUDDY

GM

 

WE'RE STILL WARMING UP.....BUT LOOK OUT NEXT WEEK!

 

Holy hang team – we definitely need that strategy meeting next week having just looked at the points board!! It’s only a tiny gap at this stage but we don’t want to be at the rear end of the field and we sure as heck don’t want that gap to increase any more. For those that haven’t seen the points yet Brendan’s team is winning on 145, the bottom team is on 130 and we are on 131. 14 points at this stage is nothing so long as don’t keep dropping behind.

 

How about a drink on Wednesday night at the Villager (unless someone has another suggestion) between 7 – 7.30pm? I’ve spoken to a few people and that night seems to work for most. If people get back to me with the dates they are going to be away I’ll try and plot it into some sort of chart so that we can have an idea of when we have to be really vigilant about gym visits.

 

Just to clarify the joker week and maximising the group fitness points for the month:

-          You must attend 3 different classes this week if you’re going to play the joker card

-          You must attend 7 group fitness classes in total for the month

-          They have to be 5 different group fitness classes in the month if you’re using the joker card

-          If you can’t make use of the joker week this week then you should be aiming for 7 different classes this month

So………for example, this week I’m doing pilates, yoga, and spin and sometime before the end of the 4 weeks I will do MC2 twice and Active Fit twice equalling a total of 7 group fitness classes but requiring me to only do 5 different ones.

It does take a bit of forward planning with the old diary to make sure that you are ticking all the right boxes.

What we need to keep in mind is that if everyone gains maximum points it’s 400 points!!!

 

By now you’ve probably guessed that I have a slightly competitive edge and far too much time on my hands at the moment!! Anyway, I hope that everyone is plugging away merrily and eating well.

 

Have a great week and work hard. Catch up next week.

Maree

 

 

Re: 1 WEEK DOWN, 10 TO GO - LET'S MAKE THEM COUNT!

Love to meet for iced water!  What blog, I'll have to look it up?  We have to work our tails off, I'm going to Fiji for a week July 9 - 16 so I'm out for that week.  If anyone is going to be away over the next few weeks, let us know. 

 

Gym on a Saturday morning is a BITCH.  No parking, nada, zilch, zero.  About 200 cars all jostling for the same spot. If you're planning on Sat morning classes (early) like the 10am yoga I tried for, either park in Remuera and walk down, or plan for later in the day.  Very frustrating.

Hi all

 

I've just perused the other teams blogs and ours is looking a little dull – not to mention the fact that some of them look very organised and competitive!!

 

I will get the camera out this week and if anyone else has the opportunity to snap team members in action, go to it.

 

Are people interested in a strategy session one evening during the week of 4^th – 8^th of July. Maybe a wee iced water at The Villager one night??? Let me know what night would suit. We could make sure that everyone is on target for maximum points for the month and see if anyone is struggling with any aspects of the challenge.

 

Take care and go hard this week

WEDNESDAY MORNING CHALLENGE!

Hi all

 

Rick is running a boot camp style training session on Wednesday mornings at 5.45am for $5 a head.

 

This is not exclusively for Athena members and we thought it might be a bit of fun (yeah rite!) to throw it open to other teams and perhaps even partake in a little healthy competition. Trainers are also welcome!

 

Let’s get this challenge cranking!!!!

Welcome to 2011 Evolution Challenge

Welcome everyone!!!

 

Well here we go again and I would like to take this chance to welcome back all the folk who were part of the challenge last year, and also give props to those of you who are trying it out for the first time, I’m sure that you won’t be disappointed.

We had a great meeting last night and i would like to help over the next few weeks answer any questions that you think you might have. Remember that you can contact you’re trainer for assistance and where they cant help, feel free to ask me directly or email info@genesisfitness.co.nz

 

So just to go over last night the rules and conditions i have attached them below

 

 

evolution 2011

12 week assisted lifestyle programme

 

Points for your team can be occurred by:

3 visits to the gym in a week = 10 points

4 visits to the gym in a week = 15 points

4 different Group Fitness classes in four weeks = 20 points

7 different Group Fitness classes in four weeks = 30 points

The points for attendance to Group Fitness classes are tallied over four week periods.

You must bring your swipe tag and swipe at reception for your visit to count. If you do not have your tag then inform staff at reception who can put you through.

Group Fitness classes must be booked and your name must be written on the class sign in sheet to earn the points.

 

We will also be playing what we have called the ‘Joker Card’.

To make it easier for those who are prepared to do some hard work every now and then, we have a sneaky bonus to try for.

During the first week of every four week period, if you’re able to get to three different Group Fitness classes in that one week, then for the remaining three weeks you can choose two of your favourite Group Fitness classes, and participate in those twice to the total of 7 Group Fitness classes for the four weeks.

The four week periods for the Group Fitness points to be earned are as follows:

Monday 20th June to Sunday 17th July (Joker Card week Monday 27/06 to Sunday 3/7)

Monday 18th July - Sunday 14th August (Joker Card week Monday 18/07 to Sunday 24/07)

Monday 15th August - Friday 2nd September (Joker Card week 15/08 to 21/08)

**Last installment will only be 3 weeks

These don't include the points we award for weight loss and muscle gain, which is measured by Discover Health at the beginning and end of the competition. Discover Health do the official weigh in, including BIA test at the start to correctly measure the body fat percentage and muscles mass. The BIA testing sessions are as follows: Tuesday 21st 3pm - 7pm, Wednesday 22nd 10am - 12pm and Thursday 23rd 3pm - 7pm. If you have not booked for a BIA test yet please do so at reception.

Every two weeks we will have ‘Bonus’ challenges where you can earn extra points for your team. Your team captains will inform you of upcoming bonus challenges.

Each Evolution participant has 2 x 1 week dispensation. If you’re away due to illness, work, holidays or injury, we have a system where the average points of your team mates will also be given to you.

 

Now if this doesn’t clarify some things for you then please ask your team captains, or contact us at the gym.

Remember to please

 

·         Confirm your shirt sizes to your team captains

·         Please pay your $99 entry fee

·         Book in for your BIA if you haven’t already

 

Ok... now get busy
