WEEKS 1 + 2 OF THE ILLAWARRA CHALLENGER RECAP🥊
The first two weeks have been all about getting our Challengers onboarded, settled in and set up for success for their journey to the ring in November.
We have over 30 Challengers taking on the journey this year and we are so excited with how they’ve already started showing up. 🔥
Block One for the challengers is all about HABITS.
Nothing fancy. No trying to do everything perfectly from day one. Just building the systems, routines and discipline that they’ll rely on over the next 14 weeks to be set up for success.
As James Clear says:
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”
So far that has meant fitness testing, setting fitness goals, InBody scans, meal plans, training plans, weekly trackers, completing their fighter profiles and getting into the routine of showing up to class consistently.
But the biggest shift we want during this first block?
BECOMING A BOXER.
You train like one. You fuel yourself like one. You prioritise your sessions like one. You show up even when you don’t feel like it or we change the plan when you get injured.
Onboarding weeks done, bring on novemberrrrrr🔥
