🌟 Embracing a Journey of Health and Happiness Together 🌟

In a world where it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle, it’s heartwarming to witness a community coming together to embrace a healthier and fitter way of life. What makes this truly special isn’t just the pursuit of physical goals—it’s the spirit with which we approach each step. Our community is not about perfection; it’s about progress, and we’re doing it with humility, laughter, and integrity.

We lift each other up, celebrate the small wins, and share our struggles openly because we know that vulnerability is strength. There’s no judgment here—only encouragement, support, and a genuine belief that every person deserves to feel their best. We laugh at our missteps, dance with freedom and joke like there’s no tomorrow!

To anyone watching from the sidelines: know that there’s a place for you here. A place where you can be exactly who you are, where your heart is honored, and where you’re surrounded by people who genuinely care. It’s not about having it all together; it’s about being willing to take that first step, and then the next, with a community that’s got your back every step of the way.

Let’s inspire each other to keep showing up, keep striving, and keep living life with humility, laughter, and integrity.

Let’s be the change we wish to see, one day & night at a time. 💚✨

Finally please support …. Link is in the comments section 🧡

• congratulations Aaron •

Please put your hands together and congratulate for being awarded the HARTS award thanks up the - here’s an insight into Aaron’s .train experience to date . . .

“I initially stepped on board the Chi train because I had to do something about my bad health habits. My body was feeling really out of shape and mentally I was at rock bottom. It was time to do something and my lovely wife Felicity said’ How about coming out to Chi one day for a try out.

My Favourite part of Chi is the people I train with. Very encouraging, friendly and always a good laugh. Also it feels great to be out in the fresh air.

The true value of Chi is the variety of training provided, always some thing different which keeps me interested and focused on my goals for improving my health.

So far I have achieved a weight loss of 10kg and my aerobic fitness has improved alot. My breathing has never been better. I would highly recommend Chi to anyone looking for an alternative to going to a regular gym which I find would never help you to push yourself and encourage you as much as a highly skilled trainer like and his team.

I wish I had joined years ago.

Aaron “

• from challenges to challenging moments •

Our last challenge that we ran was all about focusing on what brings people joy, and WOW, did everyone deliver! 🙌

From cozy evenings with pets or exhilarating hikes in nature, from heartfelt moments with loved ones to diving into creative passions such as incredible art pieces - each participant embraced joy in their own unique way. 🎨🏞️💖

This challenge wasn’t just about finding joy; it was about *promoting* it. Every post, every share, every story was a beacon of happiness, reminding us all that joy is a powerful force in our lives.

Thank you to everyone who participated and made this challenge such a success! Your joy is contagious, and it’s inspiring others to discover what lights them up too. ✨

Keep shining, keep smiling, and keep spreading that joy!

We eventually had one winner and that was who we couldn’t my be happier for, especially considering recent events with her husband Lee, who JR publically shared that Lee is currently recovering from a cardiac arrest in the hospital.

As said . . . “ we are all very lucky to still have him here with us today. Thanks to prompt and effective CPR by first responders.

Thank you for all the love and support. We will keep you all updated. “

We hope you’re able to eventually enjoy the cross trainer once things stabilise for you 🙏 all! We’re praying for Lee & his recovery each and every day …..

We all just don’t know what’s around the corner as every day is a gift 💝

• congratulations 1 & only Leone •

Well done to our latest Harts award winner thanks to . . .

kindly gave an insight into why Chi is her thing !

“ I joined initially because it was close to where I lived and because I had NO DESIRE (and I still don’t want to) be training with 20 year olds. Although we do have some “young” people, I really enjoy having more mature people training with me.

I LOVE the fact that every training session is different (probably the ADHD in me😂)!

I love the “we’re in this together” - no matter how “big” or “fast” or great you are, we look after one another mentally and on the day. No one is left behind. And we get to know one another and although we may be very different we support one another and we miss members who are absent AND IT’S SINCERE.

I’m fit! I can pick up my grandchildren and get them into their car seats (although Ollie who is 5 is getting really heavy and thankfully he can get in and out by himself). I can do a 230km hike self guided with a full pack for 12 nights and at the end I may have been a little smelly (there were only 2 showers along the way) and possibly a little suntanned but I did it and I was non the worse for wear.
I may walk daily, but it’s all the other things we do on the square that builds my muscles snd reduces my fat and makes these technical hikes easier.

Yes , I do speak about the .train to all my friends and people who are amazed at my fitness. Unfortunately, to date I haven’t managed to get even one person to join.

It never ceases to amaze me that people my age (65, 66 in September) behave like OLD PEOPLE, it drives me nuts. Or, they simply have different priorities e.g expensive overseas trips in luxury (on and off a bus or luxury cruise ships); shoes and clothes for hundreds of $$$$ but they don’t look after their body - the only one we each have to live in, we are only given one. Or the excuse “you train at 6:15 am?”

Regardless of this we love who you are and what you stand for…. inspiring others along the way!!!

• Exercising at Sunrise •

1. Boosted mood:The natural light exposure can enhance your mood and energy levels, setting a positive tone for the day.

2. Vitamin D: Sunlight exposure in the morning helps your body produce vitamin D, which is crucial for bone health and immune function.

3. Regulated sleep: Exercising in the morning can help regulate your circadian rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep at night.

4. Increased focus: Starting your day with physical activity can improve concentration and cognitive function throughout the day.

5. Less crowded: Typically, outdoor spaces are less crowded in the morning, allowing for a peaceful and uninterrupted workout experience.

6. Consistency: Making morning exercise a habit can lead to more consistent workouts since there are fewer scheduling conflicts compared to later in the day

Please do yourself a favour and get up and out of that warm bed of yours - you won’t regret it 🌅

• therapy for the heart & soul •

Therapy can be unique to an individual ….

• congratulations Bri •

Please put your and be up standing and let’s congratulate for the Harts Member of the ( last ) month . . .

Bri kindly shared some of her experiences at chi to date …

( Before Chi ) I had gym membership, but there was nothing to entice me to go there. The gym was not a friendly place - Chi felt more welcoming.

I love that we are outdoors with no two sessions are the same.

I feel part of a community and everyone genuinely cares about all of the other chi train crew, trainers and all the members of Chi Admin. My fitness levels have improved.

( I would recommend Chi … in fact ) I just found out that a customer lives in the city, I will talk to him about it.

Thank you for your super caring and thoughtful ways , your authentic direct approach and your ability to lead the Catherine side regardless !

Enjoy the beautiful 🍷

• benefits of dancing , exercising outdoors •

Why would we at chi do a dance off every single week …. In addition to our exercising in Winter ?

Here are arguably the top 10 ❤️

1. **Physical Health**: Both dancing and exercising improve cardiovascular health, strength, flexibility, and endurance.

2. **Mental Health**: Engaging in physical activities releases endorphins, reducing stress and anxiety, and improving overall mood.

3. **Social Bonding**: Dancing and exercising in groups enhance social connections, fostering a sense of community and shared experience.

4. **Improved Coordination and Balance**: Dancing specifically helps improve coordination, balance, and agility.

5. **Increased Motivation**: Group activities often encourage consistency and motivation, as participants hold each other accountable.

6. **Exposure to Nature**: Being outdoors exposes individuals to fresh air and sunlight, which can boost vitamin D levels and overall well-being.

7. **Enhanced Creativity**: Dancing encourages creative expression, which can lead to improved problem-solving skills and cognitive flexibility.

8. **Accessibility**: Outdoor spaces provide a free and accessible environment for physical activity, reducing barriers to participation.

9. **Mindfulness and Relaxation**: Outdoor settings can promote mindfulness and relaxation, reducing the impact of daily stressors.

10. **Cultural and Emotional Expression**: Dancing together can be a way to celebrate cultural heritage and express emotions, deepening personal connections.

• congratulations Bri • Please put your @hartofthebarossa and be up standing and let’s congratulate @bri_anne_loves_bowie for the Harts Member of the ( last ) month . . . Bri kindly shared some of her experiences at chi to date … ( Before Chi ) I had gym membership, but there was nothing to entice me to go there. The gym was not a friendly place - Chi felt more welcoming. I love that we are outdoors with no two sessions are the same. I feel part of a community and everyone genuinely cares about all of the other chi train crew, trainers and all the members of Chi Admin. My fitness levels have improved. ( I would recommend Chi … in fact ) I just found out that a customer lives in the city, I will talk to him about it. Thank you @bri_anne_loves_bowie for your super caring and thoughtful ways , your authentic direct approach and your ability to lead the Catherine side regardless ! Enjoy the beautiful @hartofthebarossa 🍷

• benefits of dancing , exercising outdoors • Why would we at chi do a dance off every single week …. In addition to our exercising in Winter ? Here are arguably the top 10 ❤️ 1. **Physical Health**: Both dancing and exercising improve cardiovascular health, strength, flexibility, and endurance. 2. **Mental Health**: Engaging in physical activities releases endorphins, reducing stress and anxiety, and improving overall mood. 3. **Social Bonding**: Dancing and exercising in groups enhance social connections, fostering a sense of community and shared experience. 4. **Improved Coordination and Balance**: Dancing specifically helps improve coordination, balance, and agility. 5. **Increased Motivation**: Group activities often encourage consistency and motivation, as participants hold each other accountable. 6. **Exposure to Nature**: Being outdoors exposes individuals to fresh air and sunlight, which can boost vitamin D levels and overall well-being. 7. **Enhanced Creativity**: Dancing encourages creative expression, which can lead to improved problem-solving skills and cognitive flexibility. 8. **Accessibility**: Outdoor spaces provide a free and accessible environment for physical activity, reducing barriers to participation. 9. **Mindfulness and Relaxation**: Outdoor settings can promote mindfulness and relaxation, reducing the impact of daily stressors. 10. **Cultural and Emotional Expression**: Dancing together can be a way to celebrate cultural heritage and express emotions, deepening personal connections.

• congratulations 1 & only Leone • Please put down your Saturday soup and be up standing and congratulate @leonemackenzie who recently completed this epic adventure …. When asked about it ….. “ The Larapinta was challenging - not the 230km but carrying a full pack and water because of not having water at all the camps. But …. it was amazing! “ A couple of other quotes from the 1 & only … I’m constantly praised for being able to achieve what I do and I’m speaking about my training on the Square frequently - Leone Mackenzie Although many colleagues and friends envy my fitness and mobility - Leone Mackenzie I believe we “only have one body to live in” so we need to look after it and the cost comes down to priorities - many don’t think anything about spending $$$ on clothes or shoes yet are not prepared to spend that on their health - Leone Mackenzie Finally inspiration is everywhere - within you & those around you ❤️

It was also the shortest day of the year here in @cityofadelaide with the small group communal crew once again inspiring in what was your typical fresh Winters morning … Here’s a little insight !
