{"id":22216,"title":"Club member of the Month - October 2022","description":"Hurtling towards the end of the year!","content":"<p>With Autumn well and truly here and the nights closing in, it would be very easy for Hels Bells club members to lose momentum and stay at home. But this is absolutely not the case and even throughout half term classes were busy and well attended.<\/p><p><\/p><p>The clean and press progression that had featured throughout September and October came to a close with some fantastic results. Showing dialled in technique on both the clean and the press, which will set club members up nicely for the press progression which will take us through to Christmas.<\/p><p><\/p><p>New club members are making good progress and existing members continue to get stronger and consistently demonstrate good form.<\/p><p><\/p><p>Club member of the month is no exception to the above. In relative terms still a beginner but showing improved technique and gaining strength consistently. <\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/xs8sb4atcl6bxbydy2md3hzeg9cyhfrmhc3tq5hjxmk5qg2u.jpeg\" alt=\"xs8sb4atcl6bxbydy2md3hzeg9cyhfrmhc3tq5hjxmk5qg2u.jpeg\" \/><\/p><p>Club member for October goes to Kathy. Kathy joined HelsBells just over 6 months ago. And has never looked back. Training consistently twice a week, she has worked hard on her technique and is diligent with her practice at home, completing mobility and strengthening drills to support her training and more importantly everyday life.<\/p><p><\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/4djy7or8f4pqn8nrfbpm9z4equkyovliiblgd861f0eujmlz.jpeg\" alt=\"4djy7or8f4pqn8nrfbpm9z4equkyovliiblgd861f0eujmlz.jpeg\" \/><\/p><p>Recently retired, Kathy has transitioned to day time sessions, enjoying the small group training as it allows her to really focus on technique. She always comes with a positive attitude and is extremely coachable. Keen to improve and learn. <\/p><p><\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/bcobfwnombv7ezv09ugk78iafw1a72ti2qymncik436tn7iy.jpeg\" alt=\"bcobfwnombv7ezv09ugk78iafw1a72ti2qymncik436tn7iy.jpeg\" \/><\/p><p>Her strength is improving all the time and she is able to press the 10kg for several reps now. Along with swinging much heavier bells. But the most important focus we have worked on together is to improve Kathy\u2019s hips and knees strength. Alignment is key to ensure this happens so we have drilled down into technique taking it slow and steady. But I\u2019m delighted that the improvements in Kathy\u2019s have been phenomenal. <\/p><p><\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/z20eqdfwrxjmyrxmum5thkjbocxew9apd8gahmlsnbdj5zlv.jpeg\" alt=\"z20eqdfwrxjmyrxmum5thkjbocxew9apd8gahmlsnbdj5zlv.jpeg\" \/><\/p><p>Kathy it is a pleasure to coach and support you. I love the positivity you bring to sessions and I know that other class members enjoy working with you. I proud of the hard work you have put in which it turn has helped you to progress and get stronger. You are an inspiration to others. <\/p><p><\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/hmsjdf9v05b1mai4hlrgp0zxibgpizyanq8l3y1uhvqdbr22.png\" alt=\"hmsjdf9v05b1mai4hlrgp0zxibgpizyanq8l3y1uhvqdbr22.png\" \/><\/p>","urlTitle":"club-member-of-the-month-october-2022","url":"\/blog\/club-member-of-the-month-october-2022\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/club-member-of-the-month-october-2022\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/helsbells.teemill.com\/blog\/club-member-of-the-month-october-2022\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1667662507,"updatedAt":1668427212,"publishedAt":1668427212,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":149911,"name":"HelsBells"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/06ry6vy1hkrkggb6wlfcvjwknetomwhhoz0as3s9mgwnukgv.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/06ry6vy1hkrkggb6wlfcvjwknetomwhhoz0as3s9mgwnukgv.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/06ry6vy1hkrkggb6wlfcvjwknetomwhhoz0as3s9mgwnukgv.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":13030,"title":"Hels Bells Member of the Month - September","url":"\/blog\/member-of-the-month-september\/","urlTitle":"member-of-the-month-september","division":149911,"description":"September has raced by and its already that time of the month where the Hels Bells club member of the month is announced!","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/8d5bhgr4llkuwxu7wdhnpzrxtudj21hzbu22sidi7fvqk3wb.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/8d5bhgr4llkuwxu7wdhnpzrxtudj21hzbu22sidi7fvqk3wb.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":14321,"title":"Hels Bells Member of the Month - November","url":"\/blog\/hels-bells-member-of-the-month-november\/","urlTitle":"hels-bells-member-of-the-month-november","division":149911,"description":"As a long standing club member Lu totally deserves the Club Member of the month award for November.","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/a1bpbh48ej1pb9dtr84zd2m1fnl6uxb43moltjhok96th68z.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/a1bpbh48ej1pb9dtr84zd2m1fnl6uxb43moltjhok96th68z.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":35329,"title":"Club member of the Month - December 2023","url":"\/blog\/club-member-of-the-month-december\/","urlTitle":"club-member-of-the-month-december","division":149911,"description":"What a year it\u2019s been for Hels Bells club members, plenty of progress, plenty of strength gains and plenty of fun!","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/afa89vgy4ilvlvindogpnc4yd7mtsboxg3boqlsdjdaflqpr.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/afa89vgy4ilvlvindogpnc4yd7mtsboxg3boqlsdjdaflqpr.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0}],"labels":[]}
