🏆 MEMBER OF THE MONTH – MARK 🏆
A huge congratulations to our Member of the Month, Mark Wells! 👏
Mark was a professional show jumper who competed at World Cup level, spending 13 years competing across New Zealand, the UK, and Europe. After years in the sport, a spinal fusion and a serious accident meant he was advised to stop riding and move on from the sport he loved.
Mark decided that sitting still was never going to be an option.
After spending the last couple of years searching for a new challenge, he's found his next passion in Masters Athletics.
With a sporting background that includes rugby, diving, athletics, and equestrian, he's now training hard for the 60m, 100m, and 200m sprint events in the 45–50 age group.
Mark has his sights set on competing both here and overseas over the next few years, and if his commitment in the gym is anything to go by, we're sure he'll do amazing things.
Whether it's turning up, putting in the work, or tackling new challenges head-on, Mark always trains with purpose. His determination and positive attitude make him a well-deserved Member of the Month.
Congratulations, Mark! We can't wait to see where this next chapter takes you. 🔥🏃♂️
