Congratulations to our latest Member of the Month, Dean!
Dean's work often takes him away for weeks at a time, so the fact that he gets into the gym 3 - 4 times a week (before the kids are awake) when he's not away is a testament to his commitment.
Occupation: Strategy Director
Early riser or night owl: Night owl … which makes 6am classes a daily act of discipline ☹
Lifting, cardio or gymnastics: Lifting
Favourite movement to see in a workout: Bench Press and Clean & Jerk
Favourite song to train to: I’m not really a music person, just as long as it’s energetic and has a beat to get in-rhythm with
Achievement you're most proud of (inside the gym): Building up to 4 times a week and being able to attack the classes and not be so sore I can’t walk or bend over
Goal/s for the next 12 months: Keep consistent, make some decent gains in the main compound lifts of squat, presses and bench, and see if can finally get some shoulder and back strength to get competent at pull ups
Fun fact: my job has turned me into Mr Potato Head … I know more useless facts about Potato than anyone needs to ever know
When I'm not at Barbell house you can find me: at my kids sporting events or at the beach over summer
Keep up the awesome work Dean Crawford
