What If I told you there was a simple way to stay motivated to lose weight and it only took 20 seconds per day? Would you try it?

The vast majority of the Growing Younger members do amazingly well and at the very least make a very substantial headway towards their goals while being in the programme.

Like any group of individuals, there are those who do better than others.

For quite some time we were wracking our brains trying to figure out what determines who does better than the rest.

So a little over a year ago we decided to run a survey of our members.

We plotted the results on a graph…

And what do we find…

The two groups were almost identical in terms of their age, family status, occupation, hobbies, habits, etc. We couldn’t see any major difference between people who did ok and who had mind-blowing transformational stories to tell.

…except for one thing…

The ones who did exceptionally well…

…are you ready?...

THEY READ THEIR FITNESS GOALS DAILY WITHOUT A FAIL

Eureka!

These more successful members also happened to stick to the programme longer… which as we know is needed to see a result.

If you think about it. It all makes sense.

It is so easy to get distracted in our busy daily lives.

We are bombarded with 1000’s of pieces of information daily.

No wonder many people lose sight of their important goals.

However, if you look at your goals on a daily basis it certainly helps to keep them at the top of your mind.

So here it is… if you just take one thing out of my 30 daily tips - let it be this. No doubt it will help you immensely.

Create a list of your fitness goals (if you don’t have one already),
Write them on a piece of paper.

Read them daily (best time is either first thing in the morning or right before bed time)

The Coaching You Need. The Support You Deserve

Most people over 40 don’t want a loud bootcamp or to be left wandering in a gym.
What they really want is…

👉 A coach who actually cares if they show up
👉 A plan tailored to their body, their fitness level, their goals
👉 Motivation and accountability to stay consistent
👉 A supportive small group, so they don’t feel “on their own”

That’s exactly what our Semi-Private Personal Training (PODS) gives you.

It’s personal training — just shared with 3–5 others — which means:

💪 Confidence you’re doing every exercise safely and effectively
💪 The results of PT, with the energy and fun of training together
💪 Affordable coaching that actually fits your lifestyle

⚠️ We have had some openings and spaces are strictly limited, and they fill fast.

If you would like to know more, either email me at Gavyn@growingyounger.co.nz or comment PODS below.

Achilles tendon injuries become increasingly more common after 40.

The pain can last for months or even years if not addressed properly. And it's definitely the type of injury that will throw a spanner in the works when it comes to disrupting your regular fitness routines.

The good news? You usually don’t have to quit moving completely... you just need to be more selective what exercises you choose. Let’s break it down.

Here’s the truth: aching knees aren’t “just ageing.” Common causes we see every week:

👉 Osteoarthritis
👉 Old sports injuries flaring up
👉 Weak or imbalanced muscles

Left untreated, it’s not just physical pain — it’s the frustration of:

❌ Skipping walks with friends
❌ Feeling nervous on stairs
❌ Worrying that it’ll only get worse

👉 You don’t have to live with that.

When Karen first came to us, she was battling daily back pain from years of sitting at a desk.

She loved tennis but had stopped playing because she didn’t feel strong enough to move without risking injury.

With our Semi Private Personal Training Program, we focused on rebuilding her core and back strength, giving her confidence to return to the court.

Within 10 weeks, she was playing doubles again — pain-free.

👉 “I feel like I’ve got my life back. I didn’t think I’d play tennis again at my age!” — Karen

If Karen's story resonates and you are ready to feel confident in your body again?

If you’re over 40, and your body just feels older than it should…

Maybe your back aches when you get out of bed in the morning.

Or your legs get tired… just from walking up the stairs.

Maybe your clothes aren’t fitting like they used to…

Or you’ve just started slowing down — and you’re not really sure why.

If you can relate to this you’re not alone.
But the good news is — there’s a way to turn it around.

You know deep down that you need to do something, but you also get frustrated because you can't seem to stick to a fitness or weightloss regime long enough to see lasting results.

The problem isn’t you, it's the plan you're following.

Here at Growing Younger we have a 3 step framework that can increase your chance of success.

You need a fitness programme that suits your needs and your schedule which blends both strength training and cardio so that you can build muscle, burn calories and improve your energy.

You need a flexible nutritional strategy that allows you to enjoy the foods you love, because we know that if you have this you can stick with it long term

You need some accountability, without this you let your mind control you and we all know what it feels like to wander to the cupboard like a robot and start eating the snacks as if someone else is in control.

If you are missing one or more of these then you are doomed to fail.

So Alex and I have put our best 30 tips covering fitness, nutrition and accountability into a daily email that you can easily digest and implement so that you can kickstart your health journey the right way.
And best of all it's totally free!

So comment 30 days below and we’ll get you started!

Growing Younger

Alex and Gavyn combined forces to not just help people over the age of 40 but to revolutionise the way exercise and nutrition is delivered. In so many cases, Physio Therapists and Personal Trainers never speak to one another, let alone work together.

So when they combined their knowledge and experience, The Growing Younger Programme was born...

...A Health Coaching Programme unlike anything else in Auckland.

In nearly 2 years the Growing Younger Team have changed the lives of dozens of people over the age of 40. Their clients have lost 100's of Kg's combined. Stopped taking medication for things like, high Blood Pressure, high cholesterol, and have been given back years on quality of life.
