Who keeps BJP running? The ladies behind the curtain.

39 min

Have you ever wondered what actually happens behind the scenes at BJP? This week, we’re chatting with Jackie, Kim, April, Lucy, Ashlie and Diana from BJP Head Office to meet the people behind so much of the Physie we know and love. We talk about their different roles, their own Physie journeys and what goes into keeping BJP moving throughout the year. From syllabus and choreography to competitions, technology, administration and everything happening behind the scenes, we get a glimpse into just how much goes on before it ever reaches our clubs. Of course, we also get to know the women behind the job titles, hear some great stories and have plenty of laughs along the way. It’s a chance to meet some of the people who help make Physie happen — and discover a little more about what goes on behind the scenes at BJP.

The Magic of Teams

37 min

We’ve talked about the history… now let’s talk about what Teams is REALLY like. 💗 In Part 2, we’re chatting about all the awesomeness, excitement and occasional chaos that comes with being part of a Physie team. From training together and trying to get eight people perfectly in sync, to Teams Day nerves, matching everything, supporting your club and those little moments that inevitably happen on the day — this episode is all about the experience of doing it together. Because Teams isn’t just about eight people performing the same syllabus. It’s about trust, friendship, club spirit and knowing that when you step onto that floor, you’re part of something bigger than yourself. And, of course, Emma and Jane have a few Teams stories of their own to share… Come for the Physie… stay for the chat. 💗

The History, Heart & Magic of Teams

24 min

There’s something pretty special about Teams 💗 In Part 1 of our Teams special, we’re taking a trip through the history of one of Physie’s much-loved traditions — from where Teams began to how they’ve evolved over the years. We chat about what makes Teams different from individual competition, the traditions that have stood the test of time, and why stepping onto the floor alongside your teammates creates a completely different kind of Physie experience. Plus, there’s plenty of reminiscing, a little Physie history and, as always, a few tangents along the way. Whether you’ve competed in countless Teams or you’re still wondering what all the fuss is about, come and celebrate the history, tradition and magic of doing Physie together. Come for the Physie… stay for the chat. 💗

What Keeps Us Coming Back? — Motivation, Goals & the Physie Girl

33 min

What keeps us coming back to Physie year after year? When we’re little, it might be the sticker, the stamp or the excitement of showing Mum what we got. As we grow, something begins to shift — from “Look what I got” to “Look what I can do.” This week, Emma and Jane explore intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, why both matter, and how SMART goals can help us focus on the things we can actually control. We also tackle the tricky side of competing in a subjective sport. It’s absolutely okay to want your number called — but the person sitting in the judging chair gets to decide the result that day. They don’t get to decide your progress. From preschool stickers to competition goals, friendships, fitness and mastering something you once couldn't do, we're asking one big question: What keeps YOU coming back? Come for the Physie… stay for the chat. 💕

She's got the look...

43 min

She’s Got the Look From tunics and stockings to leotards, fishnets, bare feet and today’s performance wear, we’re taking a trip through the changing look of Physie. We’ll explore the fashions, hairstyles, competition tan and wonderfully questionable trends that have come and gone — including a chat with Bree from Championship TAN about how tanning has evolved. Because the Physie look has certainly changed over the years… but the attention to detail never has.

The Physie Diaries - Bree

37 min

Welcome to The Physie Diaries — where we sit down with the people who make up the wonderful world of Physie and hear the stories behind the person we might think we know. Today we're talking to Bree. Bree has been part of Physie for more than 35 years, so it's fair to say she has a few Physie stories to tell. But away from the competition floor, she's also spent almost three decades professionally working with skin — and eventually those two worlds came together when she created Championship TAN. So today we're going right back to where it all started. The little Physie girl, the memories, the competitions, the tans we probably shouldn't have been putting on our skin 😂, and the journey that eventually led her to look at something Physie girls had been doing forever and think, surely we can do this better.

Big Certificates and Cut-Out Medals — All Things Champion Girl

21 min

Big Certificates and Cut-Out Medals — All Things Champion Girl This week on Let’s Talk Physie, Emma and Jane dive into one of the biggest parts of the BJP calendar — Champion Girl. We look at how individual competition became part of Physie and how the whole competition works - spoiler it's not like an interclub. We chat about the nerves, the excitement, the number on your hip, the moment your number is called — or isn’t — and why Champion Girl can teach us so much more than where we place. We talk about the subjective side of Physie too. Sometimes you make the final. Sometimes you don’t. Sometimes the result matches how you felt you performed, and sometimes it doesn’t. The challenge is learning how to celebrate improvement, support the people around you and keep coming back. And while Champion Girl is an individual competition, no competitor gets there alone. Behind every girl or lady on the floor is a whole team of teachers, clubmates, families and supporters helping her get there. This episode is a celebration of the history, traditions, nerves, resilience and joy that make Champion Girl such a memorable part of Physie. Come for the Physie… stay for the chat.

What on Earth is Physie? - Episode 1

36 min

In our very first episode of Let’s Talk Physie, we’re starting with the obvious question: what actually is Physie? We chat about how we each found BJP Physie, how Physie brought us together, why it has stayed such a big part of our lives, and why now our own children are part of the Physie world too. We also dip into a little BJP history, including its beginnings in 1892, and talk about what makes Physie so much more than just learning a syllabus — confidence, fitness, friendships, resilience, performance, community and generations of families sharing the same sport. In Take It to Class, we look at marching and why something that seems so simple is actually a brilliant foundation for posture, coordination, timing, carriage and body control. And of course, we finish with our first Physie Picks — the little tips, tricks and favourites that Physie people swear by. If you’ve been doing Physie for years, are brand new to it, or still find yourself asking, “Wait… what is Physie?”, this episode is for you. Come for the Physie… stay for the chat.
