What is a Burpee? (From The Article Archives)
Trainee: "What is a burp-ee?"
PK: "Here we go again..."
Weekly Fluid Intake #1
Over the years I have enjoyed including snippets of my life as a Strength & Conditioning Coach and the people that have been working with me on my blog and facebook pages. Now that I have joined forces with Fluid Physio & Gym, each week I will add a quick insight-reflection into the work we are doing down at the centre. Now without further ado, here goes...
Phil Kelly Training Moving On...
I'm proud to announce that PKT is moving locations, back to the Lower Clarence Valley
(Maclean-Townsend-Yamba).
Many, Many, Many thanks to the crew up at Goonellabah, I am definitely a better person for having met and spent time working with you. My time at Goonellabah has been fun, but my studies have wound up and like I always quote "Seize those opportunities."
Having my beginnings in Yamba, I'm excited to beheading back to where it all began. Not only will I be running PKT, but I'm joining forces with the best in the area. More in the near future...
So I want to say one more final thanks and good luck to the PKT Goonellabah Crew. The following people in particular are awesome, and I won't forget the good times:
- Setter & Guru.
- The Murses - MG, Sandy, Doddsy, Carly, Superman Sauer & the Ironman Angelo.
“At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.” (Albert Schweitzer)

PKT Talks KISS
"What do you want to achieve in life?"
"What do you want to achieve in life?"
(Me living out my dreams, a selfie with Davo... wait, I mean...
helping people towards their health and fitness goals)
This is a question that I regularly ponder upon, whether it's regarding my health and fitness, personal, financial, and spiritual goals. I use this question as my fuel to achieve; I use this question to keep me on track; I use this question to give myself a reality check!
Bootylicious
I love to help people to reach their health and fitness goals.
Strength and Conditioning or "Fitness" coaching is my passion. I have spent years developing my skills and honing my craft into a level of professionalism that I am able to help my trainees to achieve what they after in life and in particular their health and fitness.
One problem I have always had was the battle between fad workouts (keeping the trainee happy and interested) and what I call need workouts (what the trainer and the trainee need). In particular, the very first workout or trial workout in order to join up at PKT. I have changed it, updated it, adapted it, evolved it and rewritten it so many times that it would make your head spin.
BUT now I have settled on a high quality fun workout, that works for both parties.
So what does that have to do with you the reader you may ask?
Well a few trainees asked:
"Why did we do so many squats and lunges for their first session?"
"I was so sore".
I answered their question with my typical:
"It provides me a with an insight into the function and interrelationship of your joints and..."
After I finished and I woke the group up from their boredom slumber, I informed them because it "...creates an awesome effect on your body."
HOWEVER, one of the fitness guru's whom walk this earth, the great Steve Hochman, has put out an entertaining and MUST WATCH video which may help to justify my reasoning. So to the Murses (that means you MG-Andre-Superman), here is why you lunge and lunge some more, enjoy:

Don't Give In!!!!
Long time no hear PKT readers.
I am really sorry about my lack of attention to the blogs
over the last 18 months but my focus has been on up skilling and developing myself
personally and professionally to become a better person.
PK vs. Shift Work
It has been a while since my first installment of "PK vs." and this topic is one that I am becoming more and more knowledgeable about.
Since i started working in the fitness industry, many clients and new friends have worked in jobs or have careers which involve shift work. For those not in the know, shift work is basically working on a rotating roster which includes night shifts. This is not the desirable 9-5 which most try to attain to working (better suits some families etc.). Primarily you will see hospital, law enforcement, factory, and emergency services working these sort of hours.
