CHUR KAHA

🔥CHUR KAHA MEMBER OF THE MONTH🔥

This month’s shout-out goes to an incredible Māmā, Charlotte!!! Charlotte Smith

She’s been on fire in the gym, tackled HYROX, and already podiumed at two comps this year. The mahi never stops.

We love your energy, your work ethic, and that you’re always keen to give anything a crack.

Even made it to HYROX Sunday at Kaiti Hill... now that’s dedication! 👀🤣 (Stu wanted to highlight that 🤣)

So proud to have you in the Chur Kaha whānau. Massive congrats! ❤️💪

Here’s what Char had to say,

Kia ora! I’m Charlotte, from Ngāti Porou, Ngāti Maru and Manihiki (Cook Islands). I’m a māmā to 2 beautiful boys and an intermediate teacher.

I joined Chur Kaha because my sister Kylie and nephew Hunter had been trying to convince me to come for ages. 😂 I finally gave it a go and have never looked back!

My goal is honestly just to keep showing up for myself and my boys. The best way I can look after my kids is by looking after my own tinana and wellbeing.

My favourite movements are anything legs! Squats, deadlifts and I love a squat clean. My least favourite is double unders (mums… IYKYK 😂)

My advice for anyone thinking about joining would be to stop thinking you need to be fit or strong before you start. Everyone is on their own journey but the encouragement and support you’ll receive, no matter your fitness level, is unreal. Within just a few months at Chur Kaha I was the fittest and strongest I’d ever been even compared to pre-kids when I spent years training at commercial gyms. Honestly, CrossFit and the Chur community are unmatched. 💪🏽 I’m so grateful to be part of the Chur whānau. ❤️

Congratulations to all our podium winners! 🏆🔥
Massive effort from every team that stepped onto the floor.
