I worked with Tim for a year whilst deployed overseas and was inspired by the enthusiasm and enjoyment he gets from training. So after observing for the first 3 months I started training with him, a slightly chubby metric = 190cm 105kg 34 year old. Over the next nine months he trained me in Olympic lifting, Kettlebells, high, med and low intensity cardio and functional weight training. Tim has also given me dietary advice which has helped with my weight loss and in keeping it off. It was an ever changing program with multiple styles and every session was always new and challenging. So nine months on from what I thought was fit (really wasn’t), I’ve dropped down to 90Kg and I am still enjoying the training. I am feeling great, am achieving more than I could imagine physically and my partner is enjoying the new look. My strength, cardio and reflexes are better and stronger than I believe I have ever been.

I just wanted to thank you for helping me to transform myself, both physically and mentally. In just 3 months, I have shifted from doing almost no exercise and ‘pigging out’, steadily gaining weight in the process, to training 3-4 times a week and establishing a healthy relationship with food. As a result, I am now half way to my weight loss goal.

The 8kgs that I have lost to date does not even closely represent the overall changes in my body’s shape and strength, not to mention my new found confidence in my ability to reach and maintain my weight loss goal. My children and my husband are also benefiting, they have a happier and more active version of the old me and, as a result, are also eating healthier and being more active themselves.

KETTLEBELL USER WORKSHOP

The one-day SFG Kettlebell Course is more than entry-level user instruction for the AK-47 of exercise equipment—the kettlebell. It is education in moving strong
No previous kettlebell experience is required. No matter what your goals are, we strongly urge you to take this Course. On one end of the spectrum, subtleties taught in this Course have been instrumental in helping Donnie Thompson make a breakthrough in strength while making back problems a thing of the past—and eventually breaking the 3,000 pound world superheavyweight powerlifting total record. On the other end is Tracy Reifkind, who lost over 100 pounds in less than a year
Learn:
• Kettlebell training safety procedures.
• Essential joint mobility exercises
• Sophisticated breathing techniques for strength, back safety, endurance, and reducing the stress level
• “Hip-centric” (McGill) movement, a must for strength and back health.
• Strength Stretching™ principles and key exercises which enable greater expression of strength while dramatically reducing the back, hip, and knee stress.
• “Lat-centric” shoulder mechanics which protect the shoulder while significantly increasing strength.
• The most “functional” exercise—the deadlift.
• A powerful drill for strengthening the feet and the ankles and injury proofing the hamstrings—the one-leg deadlift
• The single most beneficial exercise anyone can do—the swing
• The most foolproof squat—the goblet squat
• A foundation for barbell skills (this course is a prerequisite for our barbell course)
• What GPP really is and how to program it. Misunderstanding of general physical preparation, prevalent in the West, even among coaches, prevents one from reaching his or her athletic potential and predisposes him or her to injuries
• The principles of effective program design refined and condensed from the Russian methodology
• A number of foolproof program design tools and sample programs for a variety of training goals

INSTRUCTORS: Shaun Cairns, Master SFG & Tim Almond, SFG
Location: Box 33
1/96 McCoy Street
Booragoon, 6154

I have been working in the health and fitness industry for 8 years. From the day I met Tim 2 years ago I have been consistently blown away by his depth of knowledge on strength training and his amazing take on nutrition. Whenever I have a question about one of my own clients or even for my own programing, Tim is the first person I will call. You will not regret training at Box 33; it will literally change your life.

I started seeing results after only 2 weeks training at Box 33. Tim’s commitment to his trade and his clients is second to none. I recommend Box 33 for people of all fitness levels

I lost 3kg’s in the first 2 weeks training at Box 33. I love how the programing is structured, all I have to do is turn up and everything is ready for me. Hardest I’ve ever worked.

As one of the more “senior” members of Box 33, I’ve had the benefit of seeing all the usual’s come and go, from Laurie Potter’s life memberships, to Lords in Subiaco and The Superdome in Mt Claremont and all the fads from circuits to aerobics, step, through to crossfit.
I can honestly say I’ve never had anyone explain what I should be doing, why, how to do it properly and the results I can expect.
Most of the things Tim has shown me I’ve never experienced before and I’ve never worked so hard, or had so much fun doing it.
Thanks mate! I’m seeing results already, I already feel like part of a growing community and the nutrition advice is terrific. Just no more rope battling, PLEASE!!!

Tim is a master fitness coach and I have found Box 33 to be a great inspiration. After going to various gyms for many years, I can honestly say that what Box 33 offers is very unique and results focused. If you wants to train then I would thoroughly recommend you tap into their knowledge.

Hi
I thought I was reasonably healthy, taking the occasional bike ride on the weekend or going for a walk after work through the neighbourhood. I always included hills in my walks, which I handled reasonably well. I did not believe that a training program or exercise program would be of any benefit to a 58-year-old grandmother.
I noticed the sign out the front of Box 33 and thought I would ask the question. Can you help an old girl get a bit fitter so I could keep up with a tour group on my European Holiday? I have had trouble with my shoulders since having had surgery and very limited mobility in what I could pick up or lift with my arms. I could touch my toes but only just, creaks and squeaks from ankles and knees, groans escaping my lips through clenched teeth. What have I done, who am I kidding. As it turns out, I am kidding no one.
I can lift things, I can move better and quicker, I have confidence that I am a lot fitter than ever before, I have had good weight loss and the muscles feel harder in my legs, arms and body. I feel good, I am confident that I can do better and after my trip I will return to carry on trying to be more active and mobile.
Today after 4 months of twice-weekly personal training sessions and regular short bursts of intense aerobic activity on 2 other days of the week, I now have more mobility in my shoulders and hips; I can now do squats and I recently deadlifted my own body weight which I still can’t believe.
I’m still short and carry more fat that I should, but I can thank Tim at Box 33 for giving me guidance and encouragement to try to make myself more active and mobile.
Call in and speak to Tim and the guys, surprise yourself and take a chance.

I have been working as a personal trainer for just under three years now, and Tim remains by far the most knowledgable man I have met within the fitness industry. After reaching a plateau in my own training, I started with Tim earlier this year and have been absolutely amazed with the results I have achieved through his programming. I am fitter, stronger and leaner than ever before and can’t wait to see how I progress as I continue to train at his gym.
