Staying motivated in winter can be a challenge, so let’s shift the focus and look at some fresh ways to move your body, feed your soul and nourish the brain. Let’s see if we can’t make this Winter something new.
Move Your Body
Martial arts can help with strength, focus and overall fitness. More than just learning a new skill, Combat House in Pambula offers a really diverse range of services from personal training, group classes, nutritional education and a guaranteed community ready to adopt you as their own.
Combat House also runs a free women’s-only self-defence course- a five-week program designed to build confidence, boost strength and equip participants with practical skills and strategies.
If building strength is a particular focus School of Strength, The Iron Stronghold offer a unique and specialised approach.
Recovering from an injury, suffering from chronic pain. or managing a chronic condition doesn’t mean you miss out. Rewild with JC is all about a holistic approach to mobility, chronic pain and whole-body health.
Sapphire Coast Physiotherapy are another great resource, with locations in Bega, Merimbula and Eden. They offer their own gym, where you can train on a plan bespoke to you.
Group Together
Group classes can be a great motivator. Guided in a safe and fun environment, it’s a great way to move your body without the mental load.
We’re spoilt for choice on the Sapphire Coast. Try pilates at Ritual As Remedy, Reform At TLF or Daytrip Pilates Studio. Personal training at Tathra Beach Personal Training, Tarryn Lucas Fitness.
Yoga at Pure Body Co, Good Vibes Studio or The Yoga Humm.
Many local gyms also offer some great group classes including boxfit, yogalates, spin and 1:1 training. Seaside Health Club, United Fitness Studio, Velocity Fitness, Epic Fitness Studio and Lee’s Gym.
Look After Your Noggin’
Mental wellbeing deserves a place in your routine, which looks different to everyone. It might be finding a moment of stillness with a sound bath at Inu Clinic or Tai Chi and meditation at Sapphire Zen Academy. Grabbing a massage at Body & Beyond and sweating it out in the sauna at Safir House. Discover the salt room at Healthy Glow Healing Centre or try float therapy at O’Shen in Bermagui.
Team Player
Why not give a team sport a go this Winter. It’s a fresh way to keep yourself motivated, whilst building connections, skills and finding a new community of like-minded people.
Try table tennis in Pambula, give bowls a whirl with The Merimbula Dolphins Bowling Club, give squash a go in Bega, or be swept up in the addictive sport of pickle ball with the Sapphire Coast Pickleball Association.
