… Steps being taken, weights getting lifted, whole-foods being consumed, pages being read, and water being drunk… thats the name of the game for our Focus42 crew over the last 4 days ✅
Everyone has their own challenges and difficult parts of the program …. But if it were easy, it wouldn’t be worth doing!
Looking forward to the progress Foucs42 crew!

Andy Chun and Brahm ‘relax’ after completing the half-marathon, The Mount, last weekend. Brahms goal was to beat his previous time and to come in the top-20. He made 19th. Andy, proved again that powerlifters are true all round athletes. Andy teamed up with Brahms Commonwealth Games Wrestling team mate - Cole Porter. Cole was just two days out from a shoulder reconstruction operation. He went into the operating theatre Tuesday.
Club Physical Chloe was delighted with her own efforts. She entered the ten-k section of the event, inspired by the boys. Chloe was just 2-months out on recovery from a cancer operation. Although she hadn’t trained for the run, she did well and jogged in with a smile on her face!

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
Say ‘Hi’ to Jessie, our brand new member who joined on FOCUS42. Born in Fujian, China, Jessie and her partner have worked hard and now have two small children. The former pre-school Manager says “I felt I was ready for a little me-time, which is why I joined the club.
So far Jessie has experienced Pilates, Flex and Step classes she says. “Next week Brahm is going to run through the circuit with me” informs Jessie.
“Other interests? Well I do love music and actually play the ukulele. And I have a set of Kangaboots. But I use these within our own home. I’d feel pretty weird leaping down the street”.

A BIG shout out to Kerryanne, seen here organising prizes for HYROX on our MAD (Member Appreciation) day.
Kerryanne is head of Dance at Albany Senior High leading over 150 energetic and creative teenagers. Tonight they’re doing a dry run before the next two days evening showcases.
Most of the organisation and choreography sits on ‘Kerry’s’ strong shoulders. It’s a highlight of the year where students can entertain friends and family., displaying their best dance moves in Hip Hop, Contemporary and more.
A lot of after hours work goes into this ….seldom seen by others. Well done Kerryanne!
Kerry teaches BARRE and PILATES at CP.
