THE TASH JACK OVATION INCIDENT

 

Alright team… we need to address something that’s been quietly bubbling away at the Mount.

There’s been a disturbance in the force.
A shift in the universe.
A betrayal so deep it’s shaken two grown men to their core.

It’s called…The Tash Jack Standing Ovation. 

The Tash Jack Standing Ovation. 

Yes… it’s true.

Our beloved Tash  who has been here for what… 3min... runs a 9:30 Fusion Flow class and suddenly… the members are clapping at the end. Applauding. Cheering. Carrying on like she’s Beyoncé finishing her world tour.

Meanwhile…

Brent & Reece

20+ years in the trenches.
Rain.
Hail.
Bootcamps at 4:30am.
Lugging tyres, sleds, ropes, cones, rowers, bikes, sandbags, kettlebells, the lot.
Coaching like absolute champions in 25+ sessions a week.

And how many rounds of applause do we get?

ZERO.
Not even a “good on ya boys” half-hearted golf clap.

We’re starting to think you’ve all forgotten something important…

WE HAVE FEELINGS TOO.

I was compelled to bring this up as it's MENS MENTAL HEALTH day today...So from now on, we’re expecting:

  • At minimum, a light round of applause after every session

  • Preferably a standing ovation/high 5

And Tash…
Don’t think you’re getting away with this.

We see you.
We hear the applause.
We feel the betrayal.
We’ll be in therapy.

But in all seriousness…

The 9:30 Fusion Flow crew absolutely love you and we couldn't be happier you are here at the Mount with us!

 

PARAMOUNT PIT STOP FULL THROTTLE SUCCESS!

What an incredible response we’ve had to our Paramount Pit Stop campaign!
Over 20 members have already jumped on board, booking in for their checkups and we’re thrilled to report that every single one has come back with flying colours! Even Brent's which came back and confirmed he is half Cyborg...lol

This little initiative has clearly struck a chord, reminding everyone just how important it is to take a moment, pull into the pit lane, and make sure everything’s running smoothly under the hood. 

From heart health, dental and bloodwork to overall wellbeing, our community is proving once again that it’s not just about training hard  it’s about looking after the full machine.
Let’s keep that momentum going! If you haven’t booked your own checkup yet, now’s the time to get it sorted.

 

✅ Step 1: Book your check-up 

✅ Step 2: Snap a quick pic or selfie after your appointment 

✅ Step 3: Share it or show us at the gym 

we’ll celebrate those taking part with a little Paramount Pit Stop reward!

The Para Crew cares about you!

MEMBERS OF THE WEEK – Laura & Mark Patterson 

This week we’re shining the spotlight on one of the great Paramount partnerships  Laura and Mark two absolute staples of our community who bring their own brand of magic to the place.

Laura is an absolute gem of a human. Beautiful demeanor, super motivating, always engaging, always asking about family, life, and everything in between. She brings sunshine into every session and lifts the room without even trying.

And then there’s Mark
Our quietly spoken weapon with the biggest biceps in the entire club, a title he holds with great pride and absolutely zero competition. We’ve measured them using the highly scientific Paramount Bicep Verification Protocol (step one: look at them… step two: nod in agreement). 

The results were conclusive. MASSIVE!

But here’s the kicker, when leg work comes around, Mark tends to mysteriously disappear into the men’s changerooms for “important business.” Rumour has it he’s saving his legs for parkrun glory on the weekends. We can’t confirm or deny this… but the timing is impeccable.

Together, they’re a brilliant duo: loyal, consistent, supportive, and loved by absolutely everyone. Whether it’s a tough session, a social chat, or a big community event, Laura and Mark are always there adding to the culture that makes The Mount what it is.
