Gym Member Highlight - Balthazar the Elf on the Shelf

With Christmas fast approaching we welcomed a new gym member into the facility for December. Balthazar the shelf elf knew there was not a lot of time left to get ready for the big day!

Luckily the UWA Sport fitness staff and gym members were willing to help Balthazar achieve his fitness goals.

Firstly, Balthazar downloaded the UWA Gym app so he could book in a fitness appraisal and get a gym program.

Excited to try out his new fitness program, Balthazar headed to the brand new treadmills (The faster ones of course) only to find his trainer had made a typo for his treadmill speed!

Fortunately he was able to reach the E-stop button and save himself from serious injury.

After his first disaster in the gym, Balthazar sought guidance of the UWA Sport front desk team to learn about the functional and group fitness class timetables.

Aidan suggested Balthazar give boxing a go to try out the new boxing bags.

But the gloves were too big! 

So Balthazar tried an RPM class…

But he couldn't reach the pedals! 

So he tried out Body pump....

But the bar was too heavy.

Deflated, Balthy knew Yoga would be his last hope to get started in the gym

Finally Balthy has found a routine that suited him and he shot up the rankings on the gym leader board.
