Another cracking week at Fortior!
From a conditioned Fran, to Rainhill qualifier WODs, some heavy barbell work and plenty of engine! A real mix of skills, strength and some pretty tough workouts thrown in for good measure!
I’ve been away for a few days this weekend with my family, and sometimes being away from the gym gives me a chance to reflect on things a little differently.
It makes me realise how lucky we are to have the team we do, the community we’ve built and, most importantly, the people who walk through our doors every day. Something I don’t ever want to take for granted!
Anyway, onto this week’s shoutout!
This week I wanted to give a mention to our very own Danilo!
Danilo hasn’t actually been with us for a huge amount of time, but it genuinely feels like he’s been part of the family for years!
He’s fully invested in what we do, turns up with a purpose and attacks every session with real intent (even when he messes up the burpee count). But what stands out to me just as much as his training is the bloke he is outside of the workouts.
Always making time to chat to other members, getting involved with the community and never failing to walk in or out of the gym with a smile on his face!
He’s also a cracking training partner when I actually get the chance to jump into a session with him!
Having spent some time away from CrossFit, it’s been great watching him build his confidence back up, find his feet and really start pushing himself again.
The progress he’s made in such a short space of time has been brilliant to see, and I genuinely think there’s so much more to come!
For me, Danilo is a great example of what being part of Fortior is all about. Turning up, putting the work in, supporting the people around you and enjoying the process along the way.
Keep doing what you’re doing mate. You’re becoming a real force to be reckoned with, and more importantly, you’re a cracking bloke to have around the gym!
Well deserved, mate!
