“Eating sugar triggers the release of insulin, the most amazing hoarder you’ve ever met. Imagine a slightly creepy relative, one that is overly obsessive about cleaning; except for the fact that they don’t have a rubbish bin, they just clea…n everything constantly, but put the dirt and rubbish into the cupboards. This is insulin. Now imagine giving that hoarding weirdo a line of cocaine, laced with speed and mixed into a litre of coffee, topped with a mother drink. Their behaviour is similar to what insulin is like, when fed sugar. It packs everything (and I mean everything) into the lovely little storage spaces in your body we know as fat cells. Just remember that fat cells are not necessarily cells, they are empty bags waiting to be filled. They will always be there, and they are always ready to be filled with junk… On top of this, insulin is a real sugar junkie. If it gets a sniff or a taste, it just wants more. You feel this as hunger. Even though you just ate half your body weight in mcdonalds; 10 minutes later, you’re ready to go again, and feeling a little sick (because you’re dehydrated). Oh, that’s right, insulin doesn’t just pack the food into the cells, it lines it with water.” Thanks to Tanya R for sharing this.
What defines life successes?Take a moment to ask yourself this question and challenge your perspective. In a previous article, I reflected on CrossFit’s “What is Fitness” and how it reshaped my view of fitness. More importantly, it broadened my perspective on life. For many, financial success is the goal—but this is just one piece of the puzzle. What good is financial freedom if you lack health, functionality, or meaningful relationships to enjoy it? In CrossFit, we often say, “You are as strong as your weakest link.” We aim to develop balance across the 10 General Physical Skills: A deficiency in any of these areas is where the greatest improvement can be made. This principle applies beyond fitness to all aspects of life. Consider these simplified pillars of life—no single one is more important than the others: 1. Physical Health 2. Mental & Emotional Health 3. Relationship & Social Connection 4. Financial Stability & Freedom 5. Purpose & Self-Improvement 6. Quality Nutrition 7. Balance & Leisure How These Pillars Interact A truly quality life isn’t just about excelling in one area but finding harmony across all pillars. Strengthening one often positively influences others—for instance, improving physical health can enhance mental clarity and emotional resilience, while financial freedom can allow more time for relationships and leisure. Ultimately, the goal is to create a life that feels balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with your values. In my opinion, those who find balance across all these areas are living truly rich, fulfilling lives. They are the ones who achieve the status of a Lifestyle Millionaire. Time HorizonSuccess isn’t just about the present—it’s about building a foundation for the future.Ask yourself:Where do I see myself at 40, 60, 90, or even 100 years old?Are my current actions aligned with that vision? Your future will reflect where you choose to invest your energy today. Take ActionIdentify the area of your life where you’re currently weakest and start there. Small, consistent steps in the right direction will empower you to take control and responsibility for your own life. Nothing happens by accident—every outcome is a result of your choices. By making the hard decisions now, you can earn the rewards later. Holistic success is a journey, not a destination. Strive for balance, aim for growth, and build the life you deserve. We all have the potential to become Lifestyle Millionaires—the question is, are we willing to put in the work to make it happen? – Written by Marie.

Everyone has indulged over the festive period so we thought now is the opportune time to get back into control. Most people are back to training but is your nutrition on track? We will be hosting a Nutritional presentation on Wednesday the 11th Jan at 6pm (This will take the place of the WOD). Regardless of your nutritional goals this presentation will help you towards achieving results. This is a free presentation and we encourage you all to come along. RSVP at the box. Experience has shown us that most people commit throughout a challenge and possibly a short time after, however 6-12 months down the track all appears to have been forgotten. This Challenge is aimed towards healthy sustainable, life long change. Your Challenge: We will kick off a 4 week nutritional challenge with an initial focus on the balancing of Macro nutrients (Protein, Carbohydrates & Fat) and portion sizing (The Zone Diet). During this presentation you will assess your current nutrition, learn how to obtain correct balance in your meals (using zone blocks) and the correct portion size for your body size and activity level. Rules for the challenge will be established. This will follow with a Q&A session. Be sure to link to our Zone Challenge Facebook page to communicate, share recipes, experiences, ask questions, etc. We want you to succeed and are constantly reviewing our services and practices in order to help you achieve. We understand that many of you are looking for further accountability in regards to nutrition. For an additional fee of $40 we can provide a more personalized service. Ask us about this if you want to know more. We hope to see you all there and look forward to the long term results.
