This weeks shout out goes to .ftb (pictured front and centre), who this week achieved international honours representing Wales on tour to Spain.

After a fantastic season after signing for Leicester City in the summer, she got the call up, and at just 15 years old, there's so much more to come!

Amy is one of the hardest workers in the gym, always sticking to the plan and is the ultimate professional. She comes in with her sister Lucy before school to ensure her S&C works alongside her schoolwork.

Well done on a fantastic achievement, and we can't wait to see what next season brings!

This week's shoutout goes to the athletes of MSC!!

Firstly, congratulations to for winning the player of the season awards, after a title winning season alongside regular members , and

Also, a huge congratulations to our Powerlifters , and , who competed in the All English Championships. Ivan and Alex came third and Ellie 4th, all achieving fantastic totals in highly competitive categories!

3 things to sharpen this week:

1️⃣ Control your eccentric
Slowing down builds strength, stability, and resilience.

2️⃣ Brace before every big lift
Better positions = bigger performance.

3️⃣ Own your fatigue
Don’t let tiredness dictate your standard.

Control creates consistency 🔥
