Members of the Month (March)
InnerFight: AYDEN STEFANIUK
Ayden smashed his first ever CrossFit open! His confidence since becoming apart of the community has improved greatly which has helped him achieve a lot in such a short space of time! Keep smashing life and we look forward to seeing what he can in the future!
Youth: MAISON KIRKHAM
The March Member of the Month is Maison Kirkham. As a member of our preteens program, Maison is dedicated to improving his fitness level and mastering moving well. He recognizes how the hard work he puts in during class positively impacts what happens outside of the gym. Maison is always willing to help demo movements or help put equipment away (he can stack the boxes!) and brings great enthusiasm to class.
In March, we saw Maison crush both the community workout with his family and take on the Ramadan Challenge with his dad. As always, well done, Maison!
Endurance: HOUDA BOUHAYAT
Improving your strength is a long-term process. It takes consistency and dedication. Most runners neglect strength work - Not Houda. She has worked tirelessly and consistently on her strength and run mechanics in a bid to become a more durable and efficient Ultra runner. We had kept the runs purposely short until a few weekends ago when we tested ’the new her’ Not only did she cruise through a 50km mountain training run but she was back training a full week right after. The Ultra trail season is looking very bright for Houda! Watch this space.
Ladies Run Club: NICOLA OFFORD
Nicky has been chipping away at her Milan marathon training week in week out, following our LRC Marathon training plan. In order to keep the race fun, and pressure free, she has been doing all the training on complete RPE; she simply does not wear a watch.
Nicky leans into the community, asks excellent questions, and is ready to reflect and amend when things don’t feel right. Seeing her improvement and heightened self awareness as the miles have been building throughout March has been incredible.
Enjoy the race Nicky, we are all rooting for you!!
Endurance - Ireland: ROB GRANT
Congrats Rob, We commend you for the hard efforts and dedication you have applied this month and for over the last 12 weeks of your training block to Milan. You have stayed humble and quiet yet your training speaks volumes.. Your commitment, resilience and questions have been the recipe to your successful training block. Good luck next week in Milan, We are routing for you.
Endurance - New Zealand: KIM WILLIAMS
Kim jumped on board for coaching at the start of this year with one goal, to smash out the Rotorua Marathon in a new PB after running her first marathon 12 years ago before having her 3 boys.
Kim has always been a strong runner, often programming her training herself but this was a bigger goal that she wanted to achieve and thus sort out coaching to structure her runs more specifically.
Kim works her training around family life and work, hitting some extremely tough training sessions by herself, including track Tuesday sets around her suburb rather than on the track.
She’s a great example of getting the work done no matter where she is and what time of day it is - I’ve loved watching you nail every single session you’ve had Kim.
Congrats Kim on giving yourself some ‘me time’ through running and showing your kids what dedication, resilience and mental toughness looks like! Bring on the marathon party in May.
