Join renowned motivational speaker (with a twist!), Amir Zoghi for a one day workshop on harnessing your intuition to achieve abundant, effortless living.

“There are many different types of teachings in our world today but what is clear is that all the different teachings fall under two main categories – the teachings to fulfil your head-driven ambitions and the teachings to fulfil your heart-driven ambitions.

The differences between the head ambitions and heart ambitions are vast; however both play an important role in humanity. The teaching for your head ambitions is what Amir Zoghi calls Self Development and is commonly understood as providing solutions and skills to better your life. This however tends to better your life temporarily because people still feel empty or as if they still lacked something after they had “bettered their life”.

At the end of the day if Self Awareness and what you’re reading is feeling true for you and if you are curious to explore further, then this site and Amir Zoghi’s message is what you have been looking for.” (from website)

Sound amazing? We had a hunch you might be interested!

 

Origin of Energy’s Aaron McKenzie will also be giving a 45 minute presentation on the day, as well as an appearance by Dr Ron Ehrlich, Sydney’s holistic health and dental whiz!

 

The event will be held on the 4th of February, and runs from 9am-5pm – a day crammed full of unconventional and life-altering insights; the perfect complement to your holistic training at Origin of Energy. (Not that it’s all about us!)

 

In keeping with the theme of goodwill and self-improvement, we want to make sure this event is accessible to all. Have one lonely dollar sitting in your bank account? Use it to book! The workshop is being offered at only $1. Seriously.

 

The inevitable catch?! You must be accounatble. Don’t show up, and be prepared to pay the remaining $169 – the full value of the event. Ouch. We’re sure you didn’t need extra incentive to attend, but this crazy scheme will cement your resolve to participate in this fantastic day.

 

As an added bonus to OE members, we will be offering a new membership deal only available to attendees. As the New Year class discount package wraps up, take the chance to book a $100, 10-class pass to keep the 2012 savings rolling in. We will only be selling these on the day, so snap them up and continue to train for less!

 

In other gym news, we want to wish a huge, fond farewell to our dead-lifting demon, Courtney who took her last class on Saturday.

This was march 2011 little girl to woman in 1yr. Awesome work

She is moving on to stake out other adventures in the fitness world, and we expect to see big things from her in the future! We’re supremely thankful to have had the opportunity to work with Courtney before she cracks the big time, and her hilarious (and punishing!) antics will be sorely missed from the studio floor. Love Ya Courts “Just sayin you know”.

 

Thanks, as always for keeping up to date with the latest from OE! Remember to check out the blog for weekly workouts, videos and holistic lifetyle tips.

42 Days of Change workshop


To revel in the spirit of renewal, we are hosting the 42 Days of Change Workshop on the 28th of January, here at OE. Join celebrity chef Marty Boetz (Longrain), local naturopath and holistic lifestyle goddess Anthia Koullouros from Ovvio Organics and OE’s Aaron McKenzie as they share their personal tips for health and vitality. The workshop will cover 42 accessible, achievable recipes, 42 essential lifestyle modifications and 42 workouts to put the icing on the raw, organic cake! Six weeks of sustainable progress to better health; certainly at the top of the list of gifts to give yourself to herald the new year!

Don’t despair if your brain reaches info capacity on the day – there will also be a 42 days of Change DVD (with footage from the workshop) available for you to take home, recap and refresh.

The healthy festivities will run from 11:30am to 2.30pm on the 28th of January, with this amazing food and fitness event only $75. Places are limited to 50 participants, so make sure to come into the gym and reserve your spot asap.

Also attending is Dom from G.R.U.B butchery, Vaucluse, Sydney’s number 1 destination for local, organic, grass-fed meats and other wholesome, nutrient-rich delights! He will explain how you can participate in a good old-fashioned 30kg meat-share (Pork, Lamb, Beef & Chicken) to save money, time and waste. A truly eco-friendly and sustainable option for the modern hunter gatherer!

New class-times (From 30th Jan):

Other exciting gym-keeping matters include new hours, so you can cram more short and punchy fitness routines into your day!
Classes will run at 9:15am Monday to Sunday (early weekend starts to muscle your way out of that hangover!) and 4:30pm Saturday and Sunday. No excuses! Get excited!
New business hours (From 30th Jan):

We’re bringing back a range of herbal tea’s, so you can sit and bask in the atmosphere with a handmade treat. And for all those who usually sneak away on the sly to procure a warm, caffeinated mug of comfort, we will now be doing coffee! There will be a limit of one per customer per day (your adrenals will thank you!), but what better way to pep yourself up for a class, or relax with the OE crew after you’ve sweat it out?

Learn to cook at OE!
