🤩MEMBER SPOTLIGHT🤩

We asked member Emma a few questions about her experience at Grit, and we’re so lucky to have her as part of our community. Read below what she had to say❤️

Q: When did you join Grit? and what made you stay?
A:March 2024. I have always been a very active person involved in various sports for many years. I have since “aged out” and wanted a way to keep active. When I first joined Grit I was extremely nervous as The gym was a new thing to me, but I quickly became apart of the Grit family and I felt very welcomed and comfortable as soon as I walked through the doors.

Q:What's one class or moment that made you go like "okay... these are my people"
A:I love going to ladies class, and strength classes. And after competing in my first crossfit open this year, seeing all of the support and love from everyone at Grit confirms that I have made the right choice.

Q:What would you say to someone who's nervous to join?
A:I was also very nervous when starting out but once you walk through those doors I promise you won’t regret it. I have met so many amazing people at Grit and they have become a family.

Q:Favourite movement? least favourite?
A:favourite movement would be a split jerk or back squat. least favourite movement would be strict press and burpees……

Q:Describe Grit in 3 words
A:Strong,encouraging,rewarding

Northern Grit isn’t like other gyms, your never alone, there’s always someone around to make you laugh, compliment you, and make you lift heavier:)
