Busy weekend for Johnny’s Gym
Long time client and now part of our Remote Coaching Program, Christine set herself a goal of competing for the first time in 8 years. After taking time off from training to start a career in pediatrics, birthing 3 children and just living life, she felt motivated to get back into a self care routine.
We had 8 weeks to prepare, and that cycle of training was not without obstacles. Busy Work and Family, sick kids, aches and pains… All part of life.
Still though, despite the obstacles, she did everything she could and this weekend completed her goal of stepping on the platform again for a weightlifting competition.
She snatched 44kg and Clean & Je**ed 62kg (her bodyweight)
This is only 12kg off her best total set 8 years ago.
She kept her composure, trusted my coaching during the moments and performed with ferocity and confidence.
I can’t wait to see what’s next for you Christine! I am proud to be part of it and I am with you all the way.
Two of our other Remote Clients Grace and Rina had Kendo Demo this weekend.
They are big martial arts fans and in addition to training with me 4-5 times per week they also practice Kung Fu and Kendo multiple times weekly.
Kendo has been a male dominant art for a long time, so I think it is super cool to see more women jumping in, especially with the vigor that Grace and Rina have.
Not only did they do great, and looked bad ass, but during event prep, they volunteered to do most of the set up and heavy lifting with ease.
What a great weekend for the Remote Coaching Clients at Johnny’s Gym.
I am proud of you all!
