We have decided to start openly celebrating YOU a bit more. Because we love you and this place would be nothing without you. Our first initiative is with a Member of the Month feature.
Our September (and first ever) Member or the Month just had to be our Colin. We call him “Coach Col” because he does coach our very sporadic Charity Sunday sessions (we will get round to organising another one soon). We don’t pay him and I’m pretty sure he has zero credentials but Coach Col is what he shall be forever known as.
So, why did we choose Our Col for the first ever MOTM? Colin is one of our longest running Fitness At The Farm members, having been coming here for just shy of 8 years. He remembers life before we even had the Tipi, and we lifted logs instead of dumbbells. The man’s got loyalty and commitment and always spreads the word far and wide about what we do here.
Not only has he been attending classes since the dawn of FATF time, he attends the MOST classes out of all our Farm Fitters, managing 20 in just the month of August.
He is a friend to all, encouraging the new kids, joking with the old kids and berating the coaches any chance he gets. He’s a regular at the café, never failing to stay after class for a flat white and a flapjack, and he never misses a social. He has supported all the mad events I’ve attempted over the years and is basically a living legend. Having members/friends like Colin is what has kept me going over the past nearly 9 years. As anyone who has run a business knows, you consider packing it all in at least once a week and going to live in the woods. But with members like Colin, those thoughts are always fleeting, because who could give up when you’ve got champions like Colin turning up to support you day after day, in every weather imaginable, and always bringing a smile.
So please join us in celebrating the legend that is Colin Morris!
Each month we will choose a member (Bronze, Silver or Gold - it doesn’t matter what level you’re at) and award them Member of the Month. The winner gets an embarrassing feature via email and socials AND a brilliant prize. They can choose between either a shiny new piece of merch, or 2 x complimentary co
