When the last interval is done

MEMBER OF THE MONTH: HONEY CALIXTO

Honey has been a superstar since joining early this year. In her initial consult we made a plan for weight loss, how many calories, what macros, how many classes etc

And people often ask what's the secret? How did you get such great results? Simple. She just executed the plan as prescribed

She has lost 12kg since February, that's a lot on a tiny frame

Her running; she couldn't do 400m without stopping to begin with, and recently she did her first 5km across the bridge to the city and back

Lifting, she's giving as good as anyone in class now, benching 25kg, deadlifting 50kg. These aren't massive numbers, but when you consider the calorie deficit and the cardio improvement, it's hard to excel at everything all the time

But Honeys story is one that everyone can learn from - just set a plan at the beginning, and just keep chipping away day by day week by week. That's what she's done, and now 8mths later we sit back and realize damn what a transformation! But really it's just those tiny steps every day that do it

Great job , super well deserving of Member of the Month!

Coach Emily showing how it's done

I worked inside a gym for 15yrs, before COVID forced me to move entirely outdoors

And now this is my view 😍

MEMBER OF THE MONTH: TRACY

Tracy has trained with us for about 6mths, which is the absolute minimum time I would consider giving someone member of the month. There are people who have trained here years I'm still waiting for them to impress me 🤣

Tracy has been through some stuff. I won't go into detail here, many of you already know. But there's some roadblocks; personal life, injuries, mental, that she has overcome and continues to fight through every day to make it to class

There have definitely been days when life hasn't been kind, but she still fronts up every day and does her workout, because it makes her feel better

One setback I will mention is her Lisfranc foot surgery. Orthopedic surgeons say it is the worst foot injury you can have, it's usually reserved for heavy rugby players getting crunched in tackles. Somehow Tracy got one, and the rehab is painstakingly slow.

But she pushes through. She couldn't do a bodyweight lunge when she started. She couldn't run (at all). She couldn't do anything that flexes the toes really, or stand on one leg. Now she's running laps and doing jumps, squatting 50kg and doing walking lunges. It's quite the turnaround

And it's all down to consistency. It's the discipline to turn up, even when you don't want to or when it's hard

It also must be hard when you're dealing with some personal emotional stuff, and your trainer has the emotional support of a brick. But I try my best too

Brilliant job Tracy, clearly deserving of Member of the Month

Not the worst place to die after Burn Run Club

In today's episode of ".me are you ok?"

I came to work today a little unsure of my career choice. Pummeling rain all night, ground was soaked, it's cold, and outdoor training is not the most inviting right now

About 4km of running, some rowing, KB swings, ground to overheads and more, keeping the tempo high and the spirits higher

A class full of people enthusiastic to work hard, we didn't have one complaint as everyone pushed through a Sweat sesh

Days like today is why i love my job and the people I do it with, I left today's class so happy with my career choice 😊

You: Running indoors on a treadmill at the gym
Us: Burn run club here 😍

Good morning 🌅

Squad goals 💪🏼💪🏼
