Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women globally.

Nic has always been a sporty guy. Big on water sports, he’d trained hard as a swimmer, water polo player and later as a boxer, but he’d never lifted weights. He didn’t realise how beneficial it would be for all his sporting pursuits.

DoDay Head Trainer, Michael Behrakis, was recently featured on ABC Radio Hobart’s Drive program, discussing our nomination for the prestigious AUSactive Award for the most inclusive and diverse program in Australia.

DoDay personal training has been named a finalist in the national AUSactive awards for most inclusive and/or diverse program in Australia. The awards showcase leadership, talent and excellence and highlight businesses with best practice and exceptional customer experience.

The preventative health benefits of strength training are significant. Some private health funds are recognising the preventative benefits of working with a personal trainer and offering rebates.

Michael founded DoDay to offer a different way to approach fitness. One that has his clients looking forward to every session - because he makes it fun. Making fitness enjoyable and achievable gives clients a better chance of reaching their fitness and weight loss goals because consistency is more important than perfection.

I am going up the mountain on Sunday for the Point to Pinnacle but training-wise I’m more concerned about my training to climb a 10,000ft mountain in New Zealand the following week. So, I’ve been reading up.

At DoDay we're big fans of the Mediterranean diet along with keeping our protein intake relatively high. The Mediterranean diet is a balanced and flexible diet, and when followed closely over the long term could reduce your risk of dying prematurely by any cause by 20 per cent.

Personal Training and Online Coaching business DoDay, founded earlier this year by Personal Trainer Michael Behrakis, just 29 years old, has taken out a prestigious accolade at the national awards for the peak body for the Australian Active Health and Exercise industry - AUSactive.

Michael Behrakis, Tasmanian owner of DoDay Personal Training has been announced as a Tasmanian finalist in three categories of the 2023 AUSactive National Awards Program: Independent Business of Year, Personal Trainer of The Year and People’s Choice after starting his business just 6 months ago.

Ali says that if not for Michael at DoDay, he would never have gone into a gym. He was carrying a lot of weight and hadn’t moved for a long time.

While strength training is DoDay’s specialty, we also take a holistic view of creating healthy habits- in and out of the gym. When you book in for a DoDay Personal Training session, there is no guesswork, the plan is expertly tailored to your body and goals. But when you leave the gym, I always give my clients a little homework!

As the saying goes, ‘the devil is in the details’, and this couldn’t be truer than when referring to hitting our health and exercise goals, especially when we’re talking bout NEAT movement. NEAT movement is an acronym for Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis or in other words, any movement that’s not implicitly ‘exercise’.

Australia’s peak body for the exercise and health sector, AUSactive, has published a report that identifies a national post-COVID-19 physical inactivity pandemic. Physical activity levels have dropped by 25% and it's costing our nation dearly.

Wandering into the gym every day and doing what you feel like might help you tick the exercise box, but it's unlikely to get you the desired results.

Stella has always liked to be fit. But the constant bombardment of social media images and conflicting information had led to body image issues, confusion and stress. Then one day she stepped into a gym with a girlfriend, and everything changed.

It’s a Monday evening and you’ve just returned home after a long day at work. You’ve changed into your favourite comfy clothes, pressed play on that Spotify playlist that’s fun to sing along and cook to.

Between one-third and one-half of our actions, every day, are habitual¹. But not all of our habits serve us well. The good news is, creating new healthy habits is actually easier than you think. Here’s how. 

Online Coaching is a form of personal training, but instead of training with your trainer in person, you train anywhere you like, at any time you like, under the guidance of your trainer. 

Consistently hitting your protein target is important to achieving your strength training results. Ideally, we’d all food prep like a pro, but it's not always easy.
