Hey everyone!

Hey everyone!


Tomorrow (April 3) at Fitclub at the Hub we're kicking off our second 8-Week Fitness Challenge for 2018.


Our 8-Week Challenges are a way for us to challenge ourselves to achieve the body transformation so many of us are aiming for.


Here's how it works: we weigh in, measure body fat and muscle mass, and take a set of measurements during the first week of the challenge; attend as many Fitclub sessions as possible over the eight weeks; work on brushing up our nutrition at the same time; encourage each other both in person and in our Facebook group; and at the end of the eight weeks we collect the same data and check out how far we've come!


We've decided on a twist this time - there will be a $10 entry fee for this round of the challenge which will become the prize pool for our top achievers! All funds will be returned to the participants. Class tomorrow (April 3) will be free, just pay your entry fee - you can still join the challenge and pay your entry fee by Saturday April 7 but normal class fee of $2 will apply on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday as well.


Come join a great group of motivated, friendly local women in a fun, kid-friendly environment and get started on your fitness goals! We have four sessions each week including Boxfit Tuesdays, Zumba Wednesdays, HIIT It Thursdays, and #SweatSaturday. Snacks and toys available for kiddos.


All welcome- all ages, bodies, fitness goals and abilities - participation in the challenge is not compulsory either, casual visits welcome! No need to book.


Check us out on Facebook (Fitclub at the Hub) to learn more about our fab community fitness group. We'd love to meet you!


<3 Carly, Tash and Rachel - the Fitclub Girls

I have just checked my stored water had nothing growing in it (so it was safe to reuse the bottle), then emptied the bottles rinsed the bottles out and then topped them up to overflowing before putting the lids on. I then changed the date on the bottles and stored them back in the cupboard in the garage.
Remember that you should have AT LEAST 3 liters per person per day and 3 days worth as a minimum. Some suggest that you should have two weeks worth if possible because, when the Alpine Fault ruptures, so much of the South Island will be affected it could take 2 weeks for help to arrive.
Empty fizzy drinks bottles work for storing water, rinse well and fill to overflowing then add lid - just don't use empty milk bottles (wrong type of plastic and you cannot clean them sufficiently - over time microbes from the milk that leeched into the plastic will contaminate your water).
Also check any stored emergency food (we keep all ours in the pantry with the rest of the food - trying to rotate the stock continuously).
