Team ECF Newsletter - September 2024
Member of the Month
Congrats to Amanjit, our August Member of the Month!
Amanjit’s commitment and hard work have really stood out recently, he’s present and putting in the effort day after day, pushing himself and setting a great example. It’s awesome to see his progress and we love the positive energy that he brings to the gym.
He is always up for a chat during strength which has a positive effect on us as coaches and the other members on the same classes. Amanjit has a significant love/hate relationship with wall walks but never fails to give them a go - keep at it!
Keep doing your thing, Manjit! You’ve earned this recognition.
Introducing our new Coach, Ryan!
As you’re aware, our co-owner Ben is departing for a new adventure overseas soon. As sorry as we are to see him go, we are excited to welcome Ryan to the team. Ryan is a well experienced coach, and has spent the past three years coaching in several boxes across Australia. Having just returned to the UK, Ryan is eager to share his passion for CrossFit with you all, so please give him a warm welcome when you see him at the box in the coming months!
Collaboration with REFITNESS
A reminder that we are hosting a nutrition seminar with Rich from REFITNESS on Saturday 14th September over at CSC. Rich is going to be working alongside members on a 12-week programme offering nutrition support which will be informed by resting metabolic rate testing (RMR). To find out more about RMR, follow this link.
So that you can meet Rich and know more about his collaboration with ECF members, he will be hosting a nutrition seminar at the CSC. This is completely free to attend and he will be discussing the following:
Myth Busting
Breakdown of Macronutrients
Cover aspect of fat loss and muscle gain
Importance of correctly fuelling the body for training
Evidence Based Supplements for health and training
How to plan your nutrition and structure it to meet your needs
We are really confident that Rich’s expertise will be of huge benefit to you and a real asset to our offering at ECF, so please come and join us on the 14th to meet him if you can!
