Welcome to October!
With Daylight Saving officially underway here in Victoria, the days are getting longer, warmer, and brighter.

General Notice
The onsite team has been working diligently behind the scenes to prepare the outdoor area for the busy summer season. Recently, we had the tennis courts, BBQ, and pool area high-pressure cleaned, and the results are fantastic!
Check out the impressive transformation of the tennis court. We have also arranged for 8 new sun lounges for the outdoor area, so everyone can sit back and relax by the pool this summer.

Utilise them with the correct form and posture to train not just your biceps but also strengthen your forearms and grip.
