ETC’s Annual Open Day – Saturday 23rd September
It’s the event of the year…
(Well, we tell ourselves that!) Come along to our Open Day and see what we have to offer. As one of Geelong’s leading family gyms (yes, that’s right – we have classes for kids, teen and adults – we even cater to dogs!) we pride ourselves on offering a premium facility, with a positive, supportive environment that fosters your health and fitness journey! Check out what we’re doing for our open day, as well as a little more about who we are, below…
Our Timetable for the Day…
7.30am – Elite Power
Elite Power classes involve a variety of high intensity exercises based around functional movements. Olympic lifting and strength based movements using free weights, kettle bells and gymnastic movements are included to help the development of your physical and neurological skills. The beauty of our Elite Power classes is the variety, every single session is different which allows us to cover all the bases needed to improve in every physical capacity.
8.30 – Muay Thai/Boxing “Taster” Class (1.5 hrs)
Muay Thai originates from the battlefields of Thailand and has evolved and spread across the globe as a popular kickboxing sport. Deadly and technical, Muay Thai training will whip you into shape both mentally and physically. As with other fighting forms, it is as much about your mentality as your physical ability and this is what gets many people hooked on training.
9:15am – Kids Muay Thai Class
These classes are a great way for kids to learn self-discipline and engage in physical activity with their peers. Whilst Muay Thai is definitely a contact sport, we’re not teaching kids to fight each other, instead we use proper padded equipment such as punching bags, boxing gloves and focus mitts. During kids Muay Thai classes, we also do lots of other fitness activities such as running, jumping, ladders and more.
10am – Sparring Demos
10am – Deadlift Competition
Prizes available, anyone can enter! To enter email us here.
10.30am – Fun Run
Hosted by our personal trainer Jim Kanellos. Anyone welcome to join. The $5 entry will go to our friends at Adopt Me Inc, who are dedicated to saving the lives of unwanted animals and finding them a perfect home to grow old in.
12pm – Ladies HIIT
HIIT is an enormously popular high intensity form of interval training, used to build fitness and torch fat in minimal time with a huge variety of exercises. The beauty of HIIT workouts is that you’ll keep burning fat even once you’ve left the gym, due to the quick, intense bursts of exercise, followed by short recovery periods. Mums with bubs welcome to attend this session.
1pm – Dog Walk
It’s definitely a crowd favourite, held regularly at our gym, so we decided to put it in the open day too! Bring along your furry friend for a walk with some of our members and friends. Anyone welcome! W ask that everyone coming along gives a gold coin donation that will go our mates at Adopt Me Inc.
Open Day Details…
Kicking off at 7.30am, we’ll have a range of classes and activities throughout the day for you to enjoy (and you can choose to pop in at a time that suits, or join us for the day’s festivities!)
What’s on offer? As well as our classes and comps, we’ll also have heaps to see and do around the centre. Our friendly staff will be available all day to show you around and tell you a bit about us, and they can also answer any questions or concerns you may have in regards to your health and fitness goals.
We’re offering door prizes throughout the day (so you can score yourself a sweet deal just by walking in the door!) as well as some exclusive open day membership offers (but, if you’re just coming by to have a look, that’s totally cool too – we’re not sales people!). The kids will enjoy the jumping castle and face painting we have on show and we’ll also be making coffees throughout the day.
Our friends at Spartan Supps are going to be here showing off their stuff and giving away samples and we’ll also have the guys from Juice Syndicate Cold Pressed Juices here with their new products.
If you’re after a Personal Trainer rather than a group fitness session, we’ll have a range of PTs walking around available to chat to you about your needs. Whether your journey is one of weight loss, toning up, strength and conditioning or you’re looking to get into fighting professionally, we’ll have someone available to chat.
