Member of the Month – Toni
Congratulations Toni! We can’t even put into words how amazing it has been to see Toni’s improvement lately. Her strength has made immense gains (casually deadlifting 125kg now!), her fitness is out of this world and her willingness to redline and really hurt in workouts is so impressive! This is ensuring that her benchmarks are constantly improving. It’s also really admirable that Toni is always asking the coaches what the best strategy is for a workout so she can get the most out of her sessions! Keep up the excellent work!
