Member of the Month – Anita
Congratulations Anita! She is one of the hardest workers in the room, always flying under the radar! Anita has been training at such a high level of intensity and everyone can see this paying off in front of their eyes. From being able to consistently perform handstand pushups, kipping pullups and toes to bar in workouts, to smashing out barbell PBs left, right and center. There has been nothing she hasn’t been improving in the gym. Her smile and positivity in the gym is infectious and although she may be a little quiet, everything that comes out of her mouth is either hilarious or seeking information on how to better herself and her performance. Keep up the excellent work!
