Nutrition Station
Nutrition Station Mackay is dedicated to serving up fresh, nutritious food and snacks all day long. Pop in here after your early morning session and try something off their all-day breakfast menu. Wholesome food includes favourites such as smashed avocado on toast, or hot oats, but if you’re after a twist on your early morning feed there are plenty of options to choose from. We recommend digging into the chilli eggs (to boost that metabolism), or the ricotta cakes – a healthy twist on your favourite fluffy pancakes, served with fresh berries and pecans.
If you’re after something to go, or need a pre-workout meal, grab yourself some of their homemade protein balls or an active lifestyle smoothie. The Muscle Maker is jam-packed with protein, milk, dextrose, MCT oil, creatine monohydrate and protein frozen yoghurt to help with muscle growth, so you can get the most out of your workout. Whatever you order from Nutrition Station is bound to be delicious, and will help you reach that goal of living a healthy lifestyle, in and out of the gym.

Spine & Sports Physiotherapy
Whether you’ve experienced some abnormal pain after a particularly tough gym session, or just want to treat your hardworking muscles to some TLC, we recommend you visit Spine and Sports Physiotherapy in Mackay. The team here is highly experienced in providing great care and recovery programs when it comes to any injury, though their forte is definitely treating sports-related issues (lucky for you!).
Call today and book in for a sports massage; not only will this help you recover from any muscle pain, but it can also be a preventative measure in making sure you don’t injure yourself when going hard on the bench press. In the same way, sports physiotherapy can help you to recover from a specific injury, or ensure your body is strong enough to avoid any future dramas while working out. Although hitting the gym can be great for your physical health, unless you look after your muscles and back in the process, you can really hurt yourself. Let the team at Spine and Sports Physiotherapy work with you to create an amazing program suited to your needs.
