The skin
F
you’re in!
or so many of us, our weight, what we look like or our physical appearance have at one point in our lives defined what we think and feel about ourselves. We’ve struggled with how we look, what others think of us and, above all, what we really think of ourselves. Feelings like these are not easy to admit, let alone try to understand. Too many women (and men) are overwhelmed with feelings of inadequacy, unworthiness and failure. What’s worse is some even hate who they are and have an unrealistic expectation of who they think they ‘should’ be. We all know that we ‘should’ feel good about ourselves, about getting out there and exercising and eating well. However, few of us actually do until we reach that all-important goal. Some of us NEVER reach that goal and continue to tell ourselves we are no good, we failed, or worse, we will never win at anything in life and the merry-go-round cycle continues. Chances are, unless we are able to identify the patterns and cycles that are holding us back, we may well be sabotaging ourselves without even realising the ongoing damage this kind of behaviour creates. The good news is you can really learn to love yourself and be happy in your own skin if you are brave enough to tackle the REAL issues that are holding you back. Guess what, once you dig a little deeper you’ll realise it’s NOT what you look like, it’s not the colour of your skin, and it’s not even what others think of you or your friend who looks hot in her new dress. The simple answer is, it’s what YOU think of yourself that truly matters. Until you can understand the gravity of this single sentence you will be forever limited by your own thoughts and will never break free of your judgemental self in order to become the person you know you are capable of being. Living life in a state of ‘loving yourself’ takes work, commitment and, above all, bravery to ask yourself the hard questions. Start by getting up close and personal with yourself by asking WHY you feel this way about ‘x’. Sure, you can come up with all the excuses under the sun to avoid the REAL reason you are feeling the way you do; however, those who are completely honest with themselves will ALWAYS find the answers and be able to deal with them a whole lot sooner. You might even find you begin to really engage in the amazing privilege of ‘life’ and end up achieving more than you could ever imagine. Now that’s something to get excited about!
Believe in Yourself, Train Hard, Keep Fit and LOVE Life!

LIVING THE DREAM
with Jetts Club Owners – Kees and Robyn Payens Jetts Springwood, Mt Warren Park and Sunnybank Hills, QLD
Tell us about yourself. We are a happily married couple with four daughters and now four grandchildren. Kees is a mechanical engineer and Robyn a music teacher. We are also professional musicians who regularly play for weddings and functions. How did you hear about Jetts and what made you want to get involved in the business? A colleague of ours and his wife shared their journey as Jetts club owners with us in 2009. Kees’ employment was very uncertain during the GFC, so we contacted the Jetts support office in August 2009 and opened our first club in April 2010. In November 2012 we opened our second club and finally purchased our third in October 2013. What do you love about the Jetts network? We love the fact we are providing
quality service to people who are really determined to maintain a level of fitness or actively turn their life around through health and fitness. How does the Jetts model fit in with your lifestyle? Since finishing full-time work at the end of February 2014, this lifestyle has suited us well. We have the ability to share quality time with our daughters and grandchildren, plus having three gyms is great for our own level of fitness – we work out three times per week at each of our gyms! Our team like the fact their business owners frequent the gyms and we love the interaction we have with our members during this time. What is the most rewarding part of being a Jetts club owner? It’s definitely rewarding seeing gym members enter the gym with difficult lifestyles who then become part of a family network
which they can call their own. It’s great seeing them enjoy working out whilst achieving their health and fitness goals. What is your most memorable moment since being a Jetts Club Owner? At the Jetts conference in 2011 we received the award from Jetts Founder Brendon Levenson for best community involvement – that was definitely a memorable moment. Playing live music at 2am during a 24-hour treadmill challenge to raise funds for the Heart Foundation was also a highlight. What do you get up to on a Sunday? Interesting you ask! We attend church and are frequently the musicians on a Sunday morning. Afternoons are generally family time; we visit our daughters, grandchildren and parents.

7-DAY PLAN:
SO YOU’VE JOINED JETTS… Adam Crooks, Jetts Brisbane Airport Village club manager, tells us what’s next. Welcome and congratulations on starting or continuing your health and fitness journey with the Jetts team. We’ve put together a handy 7-day workout plan to get you started. Our biggest piece of advice is to find what you enjoy and what works for you. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, take risks and push your limits. You never know what you might be capable of.
YOUR 7-DAY WORKOUT PLAN It’s your first week in the gym, so you might be feeling a bit like a fish out of water. You’ve probably Googled some workouts and heard friends talking about what they do in the gym. It can all get a bit confusing so we tend to walk around aimlessly from machine to machine until we’ve tried everything that looks nonlife-threatening and stretched. Yet by the end of it we still haven’t reached the sense of accomplishment we had hoped to get out of the workout. Never fear, though, the following pages contain an exercise plan designed to give you the confidence you need to get the most out of both your time and your membership! We recommend having a chat with a personal trainer at your local Jetts 24/7 gym before starting any new workout program.

DAY 1: Pump it up – upper body workout WARM-UP: Start today’s workout with a five-minute warm-up on the cross trainer. Choose a medium resistance level that works up a light sweat.

The Workout Exercise 1: Chest press Scan the QR code for correct set-up and form or ask a Jetts team member for help. • 3 sets of 12 reps with 45s rest between each set.
