SUNSHINE COAST KARATE

SCK IS EXPANDING!!With the help of local builder, Stuart from Mack Builders, and the support from existing members, we are currently adding a second training space to our existing facility. You can view more photos on our SCK Facebook Page. Below are a few photos that were taken a few weeks ago.  Things have progressed further since these photos were taken, and we’ll share more updates in upcoming weeks.A big thank you to Stuart for giving his time and expertise. Without Stuart's advice and assistance we wouldn’t even be this far along. If anyone is looking for a builder on the Sunshine Coast, we’d highly recommend Stuart. www.mackbuilders.com.au

We look forward to seeing you all wearing black belts in the near future.

KARATE4LIFE.COM.AU “WEBSITE UPGRADE”Behind the scenes we've been working on a major upgrade of our main marketing website for the dojo.  The look is still very similar (for now), but there have been quite a few important updates to make it easier to navigate.We have also introduced a “5 Trial Lesson + Free Uniform Offer”, to help give new students an alternate option when getting started.

One of the next things we’ll be doing is adding more testimonials to this website to better connect with the Sunshine Coast community. It would be great if you could spare a few minutes to write a review for us on Facebook and/or Google. Thank you for your help.

BODIES BY DESIGN

Hi everyone, most of you will know me from around the dojo but for those who don’t My name is Helen and I am one of the senior students here at Sunshine Coast Karate. I help out teaching some of the kids classes in the afternoons and you will usually find me training in the early morning classes. What you may not know is that I am also a Personal Trainer, I’ve been in and out of the fitness industry for many years and I’ve recently started taking some outdoor group training sessions with my friend and trainer Sarah at Bodies By Design. We run group sessions Monday Wednesday and Friday at 6am and 9.15am and every afternoon at 5.30pm. I chose to work with Sarah because she embodies my own philosophy. Much like here in the dojo we take a holistic approach to fitness and training. It’s not just about losing weight but about changing and improving lives. If you would like to give it a try we are offering a free week trial for anyone from Sunshine Coast Karate.

For your free trial give Bodies By Design a call on 0424 195 190 (Sarah) and mention that you saw this article, or catch me in the dojo for more information. What have you got to lose! Find us on Facebook at ‘Bodies By Design Fitness and Nutrition’.
