I\u2019m sure like me you are utterly fed up with the continuous wet weather we are experiencing! It feels like it has not stopped raining this winter. My garage is feeling the effects of it and sadly the damp is spreading! A job for me to sort once the weather finally improves. If you know of anyone why could help me to sort out the issue in the garage please get in touch. As I\u2019m at a loss as to what to do!<\/p>

Despite the rubbish weather club sessions have been well attended throughout March, and at the request of many we have maintained our swings, albeit not 500 every session like we did in February but we\u2019ve still done quite a lot! We have also added in TGU\u2019s, a firm favourite of mine and many club members! I love watching everyone improve their TGU technique.<\/p>

The final amount raised from our swing challenge was just over \u00a33000 which we were all delighted about. As a small club it never ceases to amaze me how club members come together to support our chosen charity. At the end of February we celebrated with a low key club night out where several members joined me for a few drinks.<\/p>

Our club member of the month was amazing throughout the swing challenge. She doesn\u2019t find high volume work easy and prefers to keep the reps low and heavy. However she stepped up to the mark throughout March and was amazed at the improvements she made with her swings! It was wonderful to watch her keep going for longer and with such strength.<\/p>

I am delighted to announce that this month\u2019s club member goes to Sarah!<\/p>

\"1uukmyi04wdskflusqn94lvo2alcr7eianr7bpqmeumryprr.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&v=2\"Sarah has been training with the club since Hels Bells started and has always had a love for kettlebells. She is phenomenally strong, comfortably pressing the 18kg and 20kg for multiple reps. Despite having some knee issues she continues to squat and recognises the importance of squatting to keep her legs and the supporting muscles strong. Recently Sarah has been increasing the weight used for the TGU and is enjoying the challenge of using much heavier bells. Her TGU\u2019s are always controlled and show great technique. <\/p>

In particular Sarah has been a great support to her daughter Ella, who has also made amazing progress since joining Hels Bells. I love the fact they regularly train as a family.<\/p>

She has a good understanding of the correct technique, having kettlebelled for many years, and is able to see and help others to improve.<\/p>

Sarah it is an absolute pleasure to coach you. I love the determination and tenacity you bring to classes. I know at times your don\u2019t find it easy but you have shown that with hard work and commitment progress can continue to be made.<\/p>

I\u2019m excited to see how you progress over the coming months. You should be proud of all you have achieved.<\/p>
