Team ECF Newsletter -February 2024
Member of the Month
We are delighted to award February Member of the Month to Tim Philp!
Tim trains consistently and always seeks advice on how to get the most out of his training. Tim is responsive to coaching and always tries to implement cues from coaches, resulting in a massive improvement in his strength and skills.
Tim is a pleasure to have on classes and is encouraging and supportive to other members, celebrating their training wins as well as his own. Tim always cheers on other members during workouts and will be there to offer a fist bump at the end of a class.
Well done Tim, keep up the hard work and if you’re in class with him, make sure to congratulate him on Member of the Month!

For those new to CrossFit, here’s the low down from CrossFit HQ…
The open is a special event for us, its a time where the whole community comes together to celebrate our own and others successes. Not only that, it helps to provide us with our goals for the year ahead! 🏋️
