{"id":12688,"title":"Hels Bells Member of the Month August","description":"Summer is drawing to a close! August has been busy  - read on to find out what's been happening at club!","content":"<p>Summer is drawing to a close and the new term is about to begin. August has continued to be a busy month for Hels Bells Club members with good attendance to all classes. Some of the day timers took advantage of being able to attend evening sessions throughout the summer and those that did are really feeling the benefit now that day time sessions have resumed.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/4wb9pwoh9bhqlufsvm8wcq26zftcflpez3tdlrfzudbuxomi.jpg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"\" title=\"80663543\" \/><br \/><br \/>I was very fortunate to escape to sunnier climbs for a couple of weeks and feel refreshed and raring to go as we head into September. I am grateful to both Emma and Sarah who took session for me whilst I am away. It is great to know that classes are being coached well and that things will be well looked after when I am not around.<\/p><p>There is lots going on for the club. We are finishing out Simple &amp; Sinister focus and will be starting a press and squat progression from next week, alongside this several club members are keen to focus on their snatch technique so these will feature too! I am looking forward to supporting everyone and sincerely hope that we have a sustained period of normality over the coming months and Covid-19 does not prevent us from meeting and training together. Fingers crossed!<\/p><p>We remain sensible at class with cleaning and sanitising procedures in place and we continue to social distance and keep the gym ventilated. Doing our part to keep each other safe is key to ensure we can continue to train.<\/p><p>So on to Member of the month for August. Its another easy one for me to award as this individual has been very focused throughout the summer months and has continued to make great progress. I am pleased to announce that Member of the Month for August goes to Pete B. Pete has been training with the club since the outset but recently made the decision to increase the number of training sessions he completes a week. He now very rarely misses a session and always come to class motivated and ready to go. He literally trains come rain or shine as earlier in the Summer he was at the infamous session where we were all absolutely soaked to the skin, despite me promising that the rain would miss us!!<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/2ewmlmaz7r5n0gmjeabsfvcxxmawr56i1feeeunuepaswp99.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"\" title=\"80663944\" \/><br \/><br \/><br \/>Pete is a very competent kettlebeller and is able to challenge himself with the weights. Recently with the Simple &amp; Sinister focus he started the progression using the 20kg but finished using a combination of both the 28kg and 32kg. This is no mean feat and is something to be proud of achieving. Coaching Pete is a pleasure, he listens to my advice and is keen to improve his technique, he also recognises when to dial things back and trains sensibly with longevity in mind. Something that I believe is key, especially when you train three times a week. He is supportive of others and enjoys working with the other club members. <\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/2stm5pyhpqbkleqoeatxaqnys02lhtecue9aspg5koibtlzy.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"\" title=\"80663990\" \/><br \/><br \/>Pete your commitment and hard work is most definitely paying off and it is a pleasure to continue to coach and support you to get stronger. Well done on being the Hels Bells Club Member of the Month for August! Let's see what the press and squat progression brings!<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/xeeceuzoyb06l44ddb7pjndhwqlugnupen30ovg7hd8dni5m.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"\" title=\"80669454\" \/><br \/><\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/whq40r8dl6h7dpjj8yirmdfs01f3fbjyejfvnxug5vilalqp.png.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"\" title=\"80664032\" \/><br \/><br \/><\/p><p><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><\/p><p><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><\/p>","urlTitle":"hels-bells-member-of-the-month-august","url":"\/blog\/hels-bells-member-of-the-month-august\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/hels-bells-member-of-the-month-august\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/helsbells.teemill.com\/blog\/hels-bells-member-of-the-month-august\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1630599108,"updatedAt":1630611046,"publishedAt":1630611046,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":149911,"name":"HelsBells"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/unssn6xfs4lihqf5koyhyhuzfjtckjjjl4h90rry1tazg38q.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/unssn6xfs4lihqf5koyhyhuzfjtckjjjl4h90rry1tazg38q.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/unssn6xfs4lihqf5koyhyhuzfjtckjjjl4h90rry1tazg38q.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":16077,"title":"Hels Bells Member of the Month - January","url":"\/blog\/hels-bells-member-of-the-month-january\/","urlTitle":"hels-bells-member-of-the-month-january","division":149911,"description":"January's Club Member of the month goes to....","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/sqofoxtfxqbmemqsxdgd34kmyo4ylfswdrlxiutqrd2idu8a.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/sqofoxtfxqbmemqsxdgd34kmyo4ylfswdrlxiutqrd2idu8a.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":15152,"title":"Hels Bells Member of the Month - December","url":"\/blog\/hels-bells-member-of-the-month-december\/","urlTitle":"hels-bells-member-of-the-month-december","division":149911,"description":"Hels Bells Member of the month - December","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/wc0qsctw6gbgyx0m4abzdgkr9dkakjml57rqbyrucp9nhxdi.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/wc0qsctw6gbgyx0m4abzdgkr9dkakjml57rqbyrucp9nhxdi.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":21420,"title":"Club Member of the Month - September 2022","url":"\/blog\/club-member-of-the-month-september-2022\/","urlTitle":"club-member-of-the-month-september-2022","division":149911,"description":"Back into the swing of things!","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/bcg3j3qceqd2zrzag7lgch6q3meuqmhrkiuyggptaqwbjohz.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/bcg3j3qceqd2zrzag7lgch6q3meuqmhrkiuyggptaqwbjohz.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0}],"labels":[]}
