โจ MEMBER OF THE MONTH: PETE HITCHEN โจ๐
A huge congratulations to our July Member of the Month โ Pete Hitchen! ๐ฆ
Pete has been a member with us for a while now and has become a big part of CrossFit Wigan. Heโs a familiar face in classes, always brings a great attitude, and is someone whoโs supportive of everyone around him, whether youโve been here for years or youโre just getting started.
Over the last few months, Pete has been ticking goals off the board one by one, linking together his gymnastics movements and hitting his 50kg sn**ch! ๐ช
Not only has Pete thrown himself into training and competitions (with another one coming up tomorrow at Arena Games!โค๏ธโ๐ฅ), but heโs also brought his family along for the ride. His wife, Tanisha, is absolutely smashing it in the gym, and itโs been great to see their kids getting involved in our CrossFit Kids classes too. ๐
Pete really embodies what CrossFit Wigan is all about, supporting others, getting stuck in, and helping create the community weโre so proud of.๐ซถ๐ป
Congratulations, Pete! a thoroughly deserved Member of the Month! We canโt wait to see what goals you tick off next. ๐ฆ๐

NEW GYMNASTICS BLOCK ๐ฆ๐
For the next 6 weeks, weโre focusing on Strict Ring Muscle Ups before progressing into Kipping Ring Muscle Ups for the following 6 weeks.
This block is all about building the foundations firstโdeveloping the strength, control and body awareness needed to make ring muscle ups more efficient and consistent.
Over the next 6 weeks weโll be working on:
๐ช Pulling strength
๐ช Dipping strength
๐ช Transition strength
๐ช Isometric holds
๐ช Negatives
๐ช Core strength
Donโt have a ring muscle up yet? No problem.
You donโt need one to get involved. Every movement can be scaled, and the strength youโll build will carry over into plenty of other gymnastics skills too.
