Our member of the month is Kelly.

She has been quietly working during each session.
She entered all of the benchmark testing, however she initially didn't want to and said no when asked if she was doing it. However she got FOMO on the MAS testing day and entered, which is awesome because she subsequently improved her ski erg, bike and rower MAS testing distances by 7.48% compared to 8 weeks ago.

She also entered the strength testing and
She had a 17% increase in her barbell back squat weight compared to 8 weeks ago and a 13% increase in her bench.

She comes in and smashes every session, never complains, much 😝 and takes on all feedback to improve. Huge congrats girl.

Thanks so much to for the support 💙

The last progression of power. ⚡A grind exercise supersetted with a ballistic exercise. 🎯 Teaching our bodies to move heavy weight quickly. You guys absolutely smashed it. Barbell hang cleans kettlebell sn**ches and torsonator jammers. See you on Monday for a whole new block including some new programs and movements 👀

Jokes we love you guys 😂🫶 We've had some breakages recently, this is a reminder to please treat the equipment nicely including:
- Not letting go of Ski Erg the handles (it causes the cords to come off the intricate the spooling mechanism inside).
- Keeping the rower chain level and not having it snap on the plastic.
- Putting equipment down nicely.
- Holding the barbell when unracking the last plate, a dropped empty barbell is really bad for them and the internal delicate internal bushing/bearing.
-Not yanking or over tightening the seat height levers/handles.
- Chalk added for fun, please clap excess chalk off inside the bucket.

Rumour has it Ava came back just to deliver this important message 🤣
