Member of the Month - Trev Cowell

Trev has only been with us for a few months, but despite this, he has already become a much loved member of our community. Trev is always open to feedback from coaches and implements this in order to improve, making great progress as a result. We are always glad to see Trev on our classes and we’re grateful for the positivity that he has brought to ECF.

Keep on smashing it Trev, you’re so deserving of our January Member of the Month!

Whether you’ve been with us a while now or you’re brand new to CrossFit, the Open is for everyone, and we can’t wait to hold some Saturday Sessions at ECF to get the team all together to take on the workouts!
