POST GYM with Juicy Gal Griff

For episode 6, I virtually sit down with Darcie Alderwick, the boss lady behind Darcie Ellen Nutrition. It is fair to say this girl has definitely made iso her bitch, by taking the plunge and starting her own business venture. Darcie shares that she has always been a perfectionist and wasn't too sure if it was the right time to go off on her own. But as she explains, in order to continue to learn, develop and push your limits you need to step outside your comfort zone to achieve your goals. We chat about Darcie's own journey with exercise and eating and how she has created a healthy relationship with food that motivates her everyday to assist others in maximising their health in a positive and sustainable way. We discuss the quote she lives by which is focusing on the step in front of you, rather than focusing on the the whole staircase and how important it is to find self love in maximising your potential. To find more about Darcie and her quest to assist women to feel proud, confident and in control of their life, through undoing all the often confusing 'shit' we are bombarded with, you can hit her up on the gram @darcie.ellen.nutrition.

For episode 5, I sit down with the legends of Roar, Harry Knight and Corey Kassabis. Both entering the fitness industry, relatively at the same time with the same goals, they quickly identified a gap in the supplement market and what the flaws were of several products readily available to consumers at the time. We discuss what brought them together to begin their unique and compatible relationship and how the Roar baby was born. We chat about what it takes to have the motivation, determination and discipline to penetrate a market to create a high retention rate and what are the musts when it comes to creating and developing a business partnership. Throughout the past few years, they have built a very strong clientele with the F45 community and have increased their product range to meet their customer needs. Their recent collaboration with coach Christian Woodford in producing an athletic range has provided a new and exciting market for long term objectives to continue to grow. Harry and Corey set out a quest to provide customers with high quality supplements and ensure they provide customers with no bullshit, trusting supplements to enhance their performance. To find out more about Roar and the product range, you can visit their website www.roarnutritionaustralia.com.au [http://www.roarnutritionaustralia.com.au] and hit them up on the socials @roarnutritionau.

To say I am excited to introduce you to my next guest is an understatement! For episode 4, I virtually sit down with Jackie Frangeskakis, the queen and founder of Adaptive Health & Performance. Jackie found her love for assisting people in living healthier and active lifestyles after finishing her masters in Prosthetics & Orthotics. She became a fully qualified fitness professional and built her own business, Adaptive Health & Performance, and is currently studying Nutritional Medicine. We chat about Jackie’s own journey to finding her true passion and what it took to get where she is today. We chat about the often confusing and complicated world of fitness and nutrition and her goals to ensure that people maximise their full potential. We discuss the quote she lives by which is ‘life won’t wait’ and the importance of fulfilling your purpose and spending time doing what you love, especially during this time we find ourselves living in. To find out more about Jackie and her quest to further educate individuals in the often-confusing world of fitness and nutrition, you can hit her up on the gram, @adaptivehealthandperformance.

And just like that we are on to Episode three – how bloody exciting! For this episode I ‘virtually’ sit down with one of the most beautiful human beings and most elegant Pilates instructor I have ever seen, Sharrman Maran. Sharrman found his love for Pilates only a mere two years ago, where he now teaches at two well renowned boutique studios in Melbourne and also works with corporate companies to bring Pilates to the office – focusing on enhancing employees physical and mental health. Oh, and did I mention he is also on track to becoming a Pilates teacher, to assist others in becoming qualified Pilates instructors. We discuss the importance of sleep and strategies Sharrman has successful implemented in his own routine to ensure he maximises his busy lifestyle. We also chat about the importance of tapping into your inner self during isolation and not being too hard on yourself during these uncertain times. He also provides a little insight into what you can expect from his Pilates classes and the importance of focusing on your health to ensure you make decisions now to enhance your long term physical and mental health. So, if you are a lover of Pilates, always wanted to start but have been a little unsure where to begin or you are after hearing some great content about maximising life, this one’s for you. To find out more information about Sharrman, you can hit him up on Instagram @sharrmanmaran where ‘everyone is welcome’ and even check out the boutique Melbourne Pilates studios he teaches at @happymelonstudios and @goodtimespilates.
