It was a real privilege to be at the Great Southern Academy of Sport annual awards night last Sunday — an evening where we celebrated not just sporting talent, but commitment, growth and character. A great opportunity to reflect upon the values we all share across sport, performance and community.

We chose to sponsor the ‘Coaches Award’, an award based on more than just ability. It’s about being engaged and coachable, showing leadership, attitude, and a clear trajectory of development — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Congratulations Abbey O’Donnell!

Every day in our clinic we see the importance of building strong habits early. We often work with older clients who tell us, “I wish I’d started exercising properly years ago.” That’s why it’s so encouraging - and important, to see young athletes learning to move well, think well, and build strong habits from an early age. Whether they go on to elite sport or not, these foundations will serve them for life.

🟦 Why Resistance Training is a Game-Changer for People with Type 2 Diabetes 💪

If you're taking medication for T2DM, here’s something you might not know:

👉 Some of these medications can cause loss of muscle, not just fat — and in some cases, that loss can be equivalent to what you’d normally lose over 10 years of ageing 😧

And that’s a problem — because muscle is key for more than just strength or looking fit.

✅ It helps regulate blood sugar
✅ Keeps your metabolism firing
✅ Supports joint health and balance
✅ Protects your ability to stay active and independent as you age

That’s why resistance training (yes, weights!) is essential — especially if you’re living with or managing diabetes.

Our Accredited Exercise Physiologists can guide you safely through personalised strength training plans that help you:
✔ Maintain and build muscle
✔ Improve insulin sensitivity
✔ Lose fat in a healthier, more sustainable way
✔ Feel stronger, more stable, and more energetic

🎯 It’s not just about weight loss — it’s about keeping your body functioning at its best.

📞 Ready to start? Book in with our friendly team today and we’ll help you build strength from the inside out.

Sunday morning just gone, 4 intrepid SCSM team members went for a walk from Discovery Bay along the coast to Lake Vancouver and then inland up through the woods and over the hill and back. On the way we had a chat with a client also out walking which was happy circumstance. With only a couple of very brief rain showers, it was a great way to start Sunday walking through varied terrain. 2 of us got both feet wet, 1 of us got one foot wet and 1 of us kept his feet dry… 😉
