Team ECF Newsletter - August 2023

Member of the Month: Michael Hammond

Since we started in January, Michael has trained consistently, 5-6 times a week mostly attending our 06:30 classes.

Michael has developed both his physical fitness as well as his understanding of the programming. This development has allowed Michael to approach sessions confidently, adapting the programme to suit his individual goals if necessary or following it as written. Nevertheless, he is always striving to meet the intent.

Not only do we acknowledge Michaels discipline to attend so consistently, but also his motivation to put in the extra work on his mobility and diet. Both are key variables to the success of his training. His commitment to himself is evidenced with his personal success.

Michael has also displayed enthusiasm within the community, getting involved in the 21-15-9 charity row, personally contributing an incredible 21,000m throughout the day. We are excited to continue to work with you in the future, keep up the work Big Mike! 💪

Special Classes

Hero WODs

At CrossFit, we host a free ‘Hero WOD’ on the last Friday of every month.

These workouts are meant to be a physical and mental challenge, that are an ‘opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices of the fallen – to speak their names and honor their memories’.

All Hero WODs are free and can be booked through BoxMate or TeamUp
