			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A recent study in the <a href="http://jeb.biologists.org/"><em>Journal of Experimental Biology</em></a> that over the past 100 years, <strong>elite swimmers </strong>have grown an average 11.5 cm, more than double the growth of the normal population whereas <strong>elite sprinters</strong> have shot up 16 cm! Obviously I&#8217;ve reversed the cause and effect for dramatic impact&#8230; but it&#8217;s interesting to note that the <strong>2008 Olympic 100 m Gold Medallist</strong>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usain_Bolt">Usain Bol</a>t at 196 centimetres is a full 18 cm taler than <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Owens">Jesse Owens</a> who competed in the 1936 Olympics and 7.5 cm taller than <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Lewis">Carl Lewis</a> who broke the world record in 1987.</p>
<p>The same is true for weights &#8211; elite athletes are heavier than ever &#8211; <strong>muscle development</strong> enhanced by rigorous training and other nutritional enhancers.</p>
<p>So where does that leave you? If you thought competition was getting tougher out there &#8211; you&#8217;re right. You need to get as strong and fit as you can &#8211; the trend is toward taller and stronger&#8230;</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t forget that ENERGY and PASSION can still win you the Gold &#8211; that was proven by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_Devers">Gail Devers</a> who won Gold Medals in sprinting in 1992 and 1996&#8230;</p>
<p>So there is hope &#8211; for those who are committed to developing to their ultimate best!</p>
<p>This is just a fun way to look at performing at your best &#8211; change your perspective and have some fun with it!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>That’s right, folks.  There are new things going down in the <strong>Health and Fitness world</strong>, or more specifically in <strong>Geelong</strong>.</p>
<p>Re-Creation Health Club Geelong has made its exodus and <a href="http://www.geelongsgym.com.au"><strong>Geelong&#8217;s Gym</strong></a> has officially taken its place as the <strong>original Geelong gym</strong>, serving the <strong>Geelong community</strong> for 45 years.  That’s why we decided to change its name, because how could we call it anything other than <strong>Geelong&#8217;s Gym</strong>?!</p>
<p>We’re really excited about the change.  Check out this great video taken of the final stages of the sign going up.</p>
<p><object width="500" height="304" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/mi6e18ov-2Y&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/mi6e18ov-2Y&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /></object></p>
<p>But, the sign going up is only the first of many changes to this fabulous <strong>health and fitness Mecca</strong>.  There are heaps more exciting things to come – new <strong>state of the art equipment</strong>, new flat screen TVs, new change rooms and some additional surprises.</p>
