Everyone Has A Movement They Struggle With

Caitlyn Davey • April 2, 2025

Everyone has a movement they aren’t super strong at, or struggle with. For me, it feels like multiple things - squats, running, gymnastics- the list goes on. But I refuse to say ‘I hate running’ or ‘ugh, squats’. I actually enjoy seeing things in the programming that I’m not good at. It came from reading about Matt Fraser and his experience with rowing. He got his ass handed to him in rowing one year, so for the next 12 months he rowed every day. Then he became a force to be reckoned with on the rower the following year. I’m sure as hell not going to run every day (lol) but it made me reframe my approach to training, and changed my mindset. It’s an opportunity to improve and build my base.I’ll still struggle, still sweat, still feel weak but it makes the workouts more enjoyable, makes me feel like I’m working towards something and makes me a nicer person to have in the gym ?

Why technique matters more than intensity if you've plateaued

July 10, 2026
If you've spent a year or two in a high-intensity group class around Capalaba, Alexandra Hills or Chandler, you'll probably recognise this pattern. The first six months are brilliant. You're fitter, sweatier, and proud of yourself for showing up. Then, somewhere around month eight, the progress slows. You're still working just as hard, but the scales won't move, your knee niggles at you on leg day, and the sessions start to feel more like survival than progress. This isn't a motivation problem. It's usually a sign that your training needs a different kind of structure, and it's one of the most common reasons people across the Redlands come to us at Rebuild Capalaba looking for something a bit more tailored.
