Paralysis By Analysis

Caitlyn Davey • July 8, 2025

I’d say one of my biggest weaknesses is a tendency towards “paralysis by analysis.” writes physiotherapist Lou Savill. Overthinking can get the best of me and completely derail my productivity, even with something as simple as posting on Instagram. Recently, I heard a story about late Apple founder and entrepreneur Steve Jobs that really struck a chord and helped me work through this. Jobs is generally regarded as one of the most innovative people in history. During his memorial, former Apple chief design officer Jony Ives spoke of their regular meetings: “He used to say to me, ‘Hey Jony, here’s a dopey idea.’ And sometimes they were really dopey. Sometimes they were truly dreadful. But sometimes they took the air from the room and left us both completely silent.”While much has been said of Jobs, not all of it positive, I can’t imagine many would perceive him as “dopey.” Yet he was willing to share what he thought were bad ideas with a colleague on a regular basis. Jobs seemed to understand a simple truth- in order to have brilliant ideas, you need to be OK with having AND sharing bad ones. Like all things in life, we get better and adapt with repetition. Whether you’re learning a new skill or producing ideas, you need to get reps in. Work with a coach or colleague, be open to criticism and respond appropriately. You might just be heading towards something truly great.

Finding the best gym in Wynnum isn’t about who has the biggest space or the flashiest equipment. It’s about finding a place where you can train effectively, stay consistent, and actually enjoy the process. Whether you’re new to exercise, getting back into fitness, or chasing performance goals, here’s what to look for when choosing the right gym in Brisbane’s Bayside. 1. Look for Coaching, Not Just Classes A good gym gives you more than a timetable. The best gyms in Wynnum have qualified coaches who teach proper technique, scale workouts for all levels, and help you progress safely. At Rebuild Health & Fitness, every session is coach-led. That means expert eyes on your movement, accountability when you need it, and guidance to make sure you’re not just moving — you’re improving. Tip: Ask any gym how they coach members during sessions, not just what classes they offer. 2. Check the Programming (Not Just the Playlist) A great gym doesn’t make you guess what to do. The training should follow a structured plan built around strength, conditioning and recovery. Random workouts can burn calories, but they don’t build lasting results. Rebuild’s programming is designed by professional coaches using sports science principles like progressive overload, recovery balance and functional strength. That’s how our members lift heavier, move better and stay injury-free. Keyword focus: “structured strength and conditioning in Wynnum” | “best group fitness Capalaba” 3. Community Is the Real Difference You’ll stay consistent when you train somewhere you actually want to go. The best gyms in Wynnum and Capalaba have strong communities — people who celebrate your PBs, notice when you miss a session, and make training the highlight of your day. At Rebuild, community is everything. Our members range from beginners to seasoned athletes, but everyone’s working towards the same goal: becoming a stronger, happier, more capable version of themselves. Real talk: You can’t fake culture. Visit the gym at peak time and see how it feels. 4. Ask About Progress Tracking If you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. Look for gyms that track strength, performance and consistency — not just calories burned. When you can see progress in the data, motivation naturally follows. Rebuild uses training logs and benchmarks so you can literally see yourself getting fitter over time. Whether it’s your first squat or your 100th power clean, we’ll help you measure what matters.

But the cheapest or closest gym isn’t always the best choice. If you’re investing time and energy, make it count with coaches who care about your goals and have the experience to get you there. Rebuild’s coaching team includes qualified strength and conditioning coaches, nutrition experts, and rehab specialists — so you get complete support, not quick fixes. 6. Try It First The best way to know if a gym is right for you? Experience it. Book a class, meet the coaches, and talk to the members. At Rebuild, we encourage everyone to come in, ask questions, and see firsthand what makes us one of the best gyms in Wynnum and Capalaba. Ready to See the Difference? Join a community that’s focused on more than workouts — it’s about building strength, confidence, and consistency. 👉 Book your first session at Rebuild Health & Fitness (Wynnum and Capalaba locations available)
