Team ECF Newsletter - September 2023
Member of the Month: Kim Turner
Since Kim joined ECF in January, we have seen massive improvements in her strength, fitness, and her confidence within the box. Kim is always keen to learn about training methods, whilst also listening to coaches’ feedback, this has transferred into her workouts enabling her to improve technically.
It is a pleasure to see that Kim has developed her understanding of movements within the programming, and is now challenging herself by taking on harder scales, such as tackling sandbags and plate jumps with confidence, which we know has been such a personal battle of hers.
It’s fantastic to watch Kim’s confidence grow and to see her finishing workouts, all with a smile on her face!
Congratulations, Kim!

We are strong advocates of the impact of exercise on mental wellbeing and are proud to be able to offer our support to those in need.
