Chemo Club

Our chemo club is still growing every Tuesday and Thursday. The club has been designed by Steve Smith to assist in the recovery of cancer treatment for cancer patients. The inspiration of exercise is a powerful tool in overcoming the challenges of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. The club is solely volunteer based and not for profit. Our volunteers include exercise physiologists, physiotherapists, nurses, sports starts and mums and dads.

If you have any free time to assist with our chemo club we would love to hear from you. Please contact Jodie Smith on 9385 0424 or admin@aspirefitness.com.au

Security Issue

This is a reminder to all members that the last entry to the gym is 45 minutes prior to closing time. This is for the security of our staff and members. It is a strict policy recommended to be enforced under the insurance guidelines set out in the Australian Fitness Code of Conduct.

National Diabetes Week

Diabetes is the name given to a group of different conditions in which there is too much glucose in the blood. There are two main types of Diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common form. It is also known as a lifestyle disease and is strongly associated with high blood pressure, abnormal blood fats and the classic “apple shape” body where there is extra weight around the waist. People with Type 2 diabetes are usually insulin resistant. This means that their pancreas is making insulin but the insulin is not working as well as it should, so it must make more. Eventually it cant make enough to keep the glucose balance right. Adopting a healthy lifestyle may delay the need for tablets and/or insulin.

People at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes can delay and even prevent getting it by following a healthy lifestyle. This includes regular physical activity, making healthy food choices and not putting on a lot of weight, especially if they have been told they have a pre-diabetic condition.
