My
home
away
from
home!
I
absolutely
cannot
recommend
5th
Element
Wellness
enough.
Finally,
a
gym
that
cares
about
you
in
a
holistic
way.
I
have
tried
various
chains
of
gyms
in
the
past,
including
the
gym
at
my
University,
and
each
time
the
experience
was
the
same.
Get
you
in,
give
you
a
generalised
program
(maybe,
it's
tailored
to
your
goals,
maybe
not.
Not
a
concern
of
most
gyms)
and
a
swipe
card
and
off
you
go.
This
might
be
fine
if
you're
an
experienced
bodybuilder
who
knows
exactly
what
they're
doing
in
regards
to
exercise
form,
motivation,
nutrition,
and
other
aspects
of
leading
a
healthy
lifestyle
but
certainly
for
me,
and
I
suspect
most
others
out
there,
this
seems
like
a
hugely
daunting
prospect
when
starting
out.
In
retrospect,
I
realise
this
is
why
I've
tried
and
failed
at
so
many
other
gyms
in
the
past,
because
the
care
and
attention
to
detail
is
non-existent.
I
would
sign
up
to
other
gyms,
and
realise
that
if
I
didn't
go,
or
skipped
days
of
the
week
(which
would
turn
into
weeks,
and
then
eventually
stopping
altogether),
there
would
be
nobody
to
support
me
or
motivate
me
to
pick
myself
up
again
and
get
back
on
the
horse.
This
isn't
the
case
at
5EW.
At
5th
Element,
I
feel
constantly
motivated
to
get
up
and
exercise,
because
I
realise
I'm
no
longer
accountable
to
just
myself.
Whenever
I
go
to
the
gym
(which,
by
the
way,
started
at
maybe
twice
a
week
and
has
gradually
INCREASED
to
4-5
sessions
a
week,
not
decreased
as
I
would
at
other
gyms),
I'm
greeted
by
friendly
staff
who
I
feel
are
genuinely
interested
in
not
just
my
progress,
but
me
as
a
whole.
Weekly
PT
sessions
with
my
trainer
keep
me
motivated
and
on
track
with
my
fitness
goals,
and
ensure
my
exercise
form
is
on
point.
Monthly/bimonthly
alignment
sessions
ensure
my
workouts
don't
get
stagnant,
and
let
me
discuss
goals
not
just
related
to
exercise
but
my
wellness
as
a
whole,
such
as
nutrition,
meditation
or
sleep.
I
also
love
a
little
time
in
the
infrared
sauna,
or
picking
up
a
delicious
bone
broth
after
a
particularly
hard
training
day.
As
health
and
fitness
has
now
become
a
hobby
of
mine,
I
also
thoroughly
enjoy
discussing
sports
physiology,
aging,
diet
and
supplementation
with
all
of
the
knowledgeable
staff
when
I
get
the
chance.
By
the
way,
the
supplement
store
attached
to
5EW
stock
some
of
the
best
exercise
supplements
in
Australia,
some
of
which
are
quite
difficult
to
find
and
can't
be
bought
at
your
local
chemist.
I
started
at
5th
Element
Wellness
around
March-April
of
this
year,
and
since
then
I
lost
over
10kg
(around
8-9%
bodyfat),
back
to
my
natural
weight.
My
goals
have
since
pivoted
and
I
am
now
focusing
on
increasing
strength
and
lean
muscle
mass,
and
my
trainers
have
supported
me
in
every
step
of
my
goals
and
made
sure
that
what
I'm
doing
is
on
the
right
track.
Not
only
this,
but
throughout
my
training
there's
also
been
a
focus
on
injury
prevention,
posture
correction
and
foundational
strength
which
is
so
fundemental
to
good
health
but
seemingly
goes
unnoticed
in
today's
fitness
industry,
as
it
seems
that
everyone
wants
quick
results
with
minimal
effort.
At
5th
Element
(a
gym
I
can
see
myself
staying
with
for
a
very
long
time),
it
seems
the
emphasis
isn't
just
short
term
but
also
long
term,
to
set
up
a
foundation
of
health
that
will
support
me
throughout
life.
If
you're
looking
for
a
gym
that
ACTUALLY
CARES
about
your
progress,
health
and
holistic
wellness
goals,
give
5th
Element
Wellness
a
try.
A
huge
thank
you
to
Matt,
Tim,
Sam,
Adam,
Claire
and
the
rest
of
the
team
at
5EW.
I
couldn't
have
made
the
progress
I
have
without
you
guys
and
I'll
see
you
in
the
gym
soon!
