    Exercise: Good for the Body, Great for the Mind

    The science behind the physical benefits of exercise has long been established. However, we are now starting to better understand the psychological and emotional benefits too. This is particularly relevant in the current Covid-19 environment as many people struggle to deal with big changes to their daily lives and may feel overwhelmed with fear and uncertainty. The good news is that exercise can help, both now and further down the track. "People who are fit in their 40s seem to retain more brain volume two decades later and also perform better in decision-making tests, new research suggests." There are now numerous studies outlining the benefits of exercise and how it is used for the ....

    Cardio vs Strength / Resistance Training

    Where is my time best spent if I’m trying to lose weight?
    This is one of the most commonly asked questions I get from clients starting their fitness journey and is one of the most debated in the health and fitness community. We take a look at the benefits of both. All too often, I see and hear about people smashing themselves on the cardio machines in an effort to lose weight, yet who are generally scared of picking up dumbbells for fear of getting bulky.

I’ve been training with Matt at Great Shape Bayside for quite a while now. Each training session is different, with Matt understanding the best and most suitable exercises to maximise results. He often introduces new equipment which definitely keeps things interesting.

I have been training at Great Shape Bayside for 3 & 1/2 years & it’s been the best thing I’ve done in a long time. I’ve been to gyms before & have found them large & impersonal with big classes & no close supervision. It’s the complete opposite at Great Shape Bayside. Matt Sutherland is an excellent personal trainer, always positive, professional & on your side. The group classes are small & friendly & you are closely monitored by your trainer. I can’t believe how much my body has toned up. I dropped a jean size just from the exercise. I haven’t felt this well for a really long time & I have made some lovely new friends.

I can’t recommend highly enough what a brilliant place Great Shape Bayside is. Matt and the team, along with the members (a community within a community) welcomed me in with open arms. It’s a real social inclusive environment for all fitness levels, proving the support to achieve your goals. You can even bring your kids!
