{"id":49991,"title":"Double Whammy - club member of the month","description":"Two for the piece of one!","content":"

The last few weeks have flown by as I culminated my training towards the StrongFirst Body weight certification and headed to Essex with my friend and fellow coach Elise.<\/p>

To say I was nervous about the weekend was an understatement because body weight is not my strength and I\u2019ve been hampered with issues including a bad knee amongst other things. However, the weekend went well and I am delighted to say I passed the Bodyweight certification and more importantly re-certed my Strongfirst Elite status.<\/p>

Meanwhile evening classes are busy and the summer term has started well for the day time members! The summer progression continues with a focus on squats and heavy 2 handed swings.<\/p>

It\u2019s a double whammy for the club member of the month award as I\u2019ve been so busy I completely forgot to give the award out in May and suddenly we were into June. So my apologies for that!<\/p>

However it is worth the wait because both winners this month are very worthy.<\/p>

A huge congratulations go to both Cat and Jo!<\/p>

Both Jo & Cat have recently taken part in the club Accountability challenge and achieved great success over the 6 weeks.<\/p>

\"d1e7nrt6ugtqv6byvccm78ghoghnslbfpjmqkdeu668herrd.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&v=2\"They were focused and learned loads throughout the 6 weeks developing new habits to support them with their nutrition and mindset. Both reduced their body fat, weight and lost inches. But more importantly they have set themselves on the road to continued success by learning to fuel their bodies correctly to support their lifestyle and training.<\/p>

Cat joined Hels Bells nearly 3 years ago, and truth be told, this award is long over due. She\u2019s been an excellent addition to the club. Always comes with a positive attitude and big smile. Cat is eminently coachable and has made remarkable progress since joining, getting stronger, refining technique and lifting heavier bells. It really is a pleasure to watch. She\u2019s incredibly supportive and encouraging of others, particularly with one of our younger club members always showing kindness and compassion. Combined with the progress made on the recent accountability alongside consistent training Cat has shown just how strong and capable she is and is a very worthy winner of the club member of the month award. <\/p>

Jo joined the club more recently and has gone quite literally from strength to strength. Improving her technique and lifting heavier weights in all the kettlebell moves. She has been super committed to classes, training consistently and listening to the advice being offered to improve her technique. Watching Jo grow in both physical and mental strength is an absolute pleasure, it\u2019s almost impossible to quantify and demonstrate the progress Jo has made. But I really am proud of how far you have come since joining and you should be proud too. <\/p>

Taking part in the Accountability challenge has also had a really positive impact for Jo, supporting her to understand how to fuel her body more effectively and allowing to reach her goals. <\/p>

I say it time and time again but I am so fortunate to coach the best people within the Hels Bells community.<\/p>

You both deserve the award for all you have achieved since joining the club. Well done and I look forward to watching you get stronger in the future! <\/p>
