To kickstart a new year, (and a new Fluidform challenge) the Fluidform team embarked on a 3-day Orchard St Juice Cleanse. After the holiday season, this was an opportunity to cleanse and reset together, by supporting, nourishing and challenging our minds and bodies.
The 3-day Orchard St Juice Cleanse consists of 18 nutrient-rich juices, tonics, smoothies, soups and broths, sipped mindfully over 3 days. The cleanse helps to alkalise, detoxify, energise and get your skin glowing from the inside out.
The key benefits of a juice cleanse:
- Aided digestion
- Naturally energised and refreshed
- Clear focus, concentration and motivation
- Radient and consistent skin
- Reduced cravings
- Mental clarity
Step inside the Fluidform team’s cleansing experience and how we entered the Clean & Green challenge with a sense of lightness, renewed energy and vitality and enhanced feelings of wellbeing.
Kee, Fluidform Founder & Owner
What has been the most enjoyable aspect of the cleanse?
I’ve spent the past 3 days prioritising my wellbeing and all the things that make me feel good, strong and healthy. Between increasing my water intake, daily movement, meditation and an infrared sauna, I feel an overwhelming sense of clarity, rejuvenation and mindfulness.

The house made granola from Little Kitchen topped with fresh fruit and yoghurt.

Stacey, Fluidform Instructor & Customer Service
What has been the greatest challenge during the cleanse?
I would have to say that afternoon 2-5pm slump when I’m used to snacking – really had to focus & keep myself busy during those hours
What has been the most enjoyable aspect of the cleanse?
I felt so much lighter not only physically but even more so mentally. Also achieving something that I put my mind to felt super rewarding.
Yvonne, Fluidform Instructor & Customer Service
What has been the most enjoyable aspect of the cleanse?
Being able to shake off bad habits like snacking on treats and downing coffees. Didn’t have any cravings. Not lacking on energy levels.

The soup! Something warm to end the day.
Milly, Brand & Communications
How have you stayed active during the cleanse?
The first morning I went for a run and the following two mornings were 40 minutes of Fluidform at Home. It felt really nice to move and stretch, even though I had less energy in the mornings than usual. I always finish my work day in the studio to switch off.
What meal are you most looking forward to?
A Good Ways Deli veg sandwich!
Lou, Franchise Communications
What has been the most enjoyable aspect of the cleanse?
Going to bed at night feeling like I had accomplished something really great for my body.
How have you stayed active during the cleanse?
Pilates of course! I did a class every day and went for one long walk.
What meal are you most looking forward to?
A piece of salmon and vegetables is normally my go to during the week so that will be on the menu for Friday! And a cold, crisp apple.
Rachel, Fluidform Instructor & Studio Manager
What has been the most enjoyable aspect of the cleanse?
The soup was a delicious and satisfying dinner – great way to end the day!
How have you stayed active during the cleanse?
Committed to getting some Pilates in every day – I managed to squeeze in 2 classes and did 30 mins of Pilates myself in studio on one of the days.
Shannon, Fluidform Training & Instructor
How have you stayed active during the cleanse?
I felt great in the mornings, so got up and did stretches and some Pilates first thing. (Had time because I wasn’t eating)
Which juice/smoothie/soup/tonic has been your favourite?
The green smoothie
Hattie, Fluidform Instructor & Customer Service
What has been the greatest challenge during the cleanse?
Other than no food for three days the greatest challenge for me was breaking routine. My routine is one I love and works for me. It gets me through long days of work and uni and is something I look forward to in my days.
How have you stayed active during the cleanse?
I stayed active during the entire cleanse. The first 2 days I stayed within my normal fitness routine as I felt I had enough energy. Although the last day of the cleanse I took it much slower, went for a walk and did a short FFAH class.
What meal are you most looking forward to?
My breakfast porridge – I look forward to it every morning.
