{"id":14321,"title":"Hels Bells Member of the Month - November","description":"As a long standing club member Lu totally deserves the Club Member of the month award for November.","content":"<p>November has flown by! Classes continue to be busy with a good buzz! The recent Accountability Challenge has seen 27 club members join a closed Facebook group where I have been supporting them to examine their habits and choices around nutrition, and training, movement and lifestyles choices. Next week is the final week and results will be announced shortly after to see who has won the challenge.<\/p><p>The press and squat progression is culminating having run since the beginning of September. I'm excited to see what progress has been made when we test our 1 rep max in class. The effort that everyone has put in to the progression has been great to watch. Club members have shown great focus and determination improving their technique and strength.<\/p><p>So on to Club member of the month for November, this individual is no exception to the above, and has shown such focus over the past 6 week at training, it has been an absolute pleasure to witness the improvements that have been accomplished. I am delighted to announce that the Hels Bells club member for November goes to Lou.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/lm4ztw0899vopbnfeuktsrwb0pxg3zvttq7ovkpvgmty2uln.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"\" title=\"84715962\" \/><br \/><br \/>Lou has trained with the club for a number of years. But recently made the decision to commit to the Accountability Challenge alongside training regularly. The consistency of training regularly and focusing on her nutrition has paid off. Lou is stronger than ever and has most definitely achieved the goals she set herself at the beginning of the challenge to reduce her body fat. Last week I had the privilege to watch her press the 12kg, for not just one rep, but 5 reps on each arm! It looked strong and her technique was dialled in. It brought a tear to my eye, and Lou's to see her achieve the press with a heavier weight and was brilliant to watch.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/obo3phnxq2x7mt8gcbk81k5anzlni4ovl18j4d8ekaivg8bb.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"\" title=\"84715966\" \/><br \/><br \/>Lou is easy to coach, she listens to advice and is keen to improve her technique. She is also fully supportive of others and is always the first to encourage and celebrate their successes. When she attends class she always comes with a smile on her face and is positive and upbeat.<\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/6pruc6ugjnu0cgjglxq0rnvkn7p4c5bb51zdbls3vqv6tvrk.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"\" title=\"84715975\" \/><br \/>Over the past couple of years Lou has faced a number of personal challenges but rather than let this stop her, she has continued to stay strong and train proving that strength truly does have a greater purpose.<\/p><p>It really is a pleasure to coach Lou and watch her get stronger. Dust off that 20kg bell as there is no doubt you are ready to swing it once again!<\/p><p>Congratulations on being club member of the month you earned the award. <\/p><p><img src=\"https:\/\/images.teemill.com\/wqidsq1eucvpdifbvzaijmlsmgcrehdqdf5t48s8zk6ec3lc.png.jpg?w=1140&amp;h=auto\" alt=\"\" title=\"84716110\" \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><br \/><\/p>","urlTitle":"hels-bells-member-of-the-month-november","url":"\/blog\/hels-bells-member-of-the-month-november\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/hels-bells-member-of-the-month-november\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/helsbells.teemill.com\/blog\/hels-bells-member-of-the-month-november\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1638387963,"updatedAt":1638462346,"publishedAt":1638462346,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":149911,"name":"HelsBells"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/a1bpbh48ej1pb9dtr84zd2m1fnl6uxb43moltjhok96th68z.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/a1bpbh48ej1pb9dtr84zd2m1fnl6uxb43moltjhok96th68z.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/a1bpbh48ej1pb9dtr84zd2m1fnl6uxb43moltjhok96th68z.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":24414,"title":"Club Member of the Month - January 2023","url":"\/blog\/club-member-of-the-month-january-2023\/","urlTitle":"club-member-of-the-month-january-2023","division":149911,"description":"A strong start to 2023!","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/bmrcc4n9tbh72n52oa2unqcsgk07acbhs8j26w3oxpy31c4o.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/bmrcc4n9tbh72n52oa2unqcsgk07acbhs8j26w3oxpy31c4o.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":25310,"title":"Club Member of the Month - February 2023","url":"\/blog\/club-member-of-the-month-february-2023\/","urlTitle":"club-member-of-the-month-february-2023","division":149911,"description":"Proudly supporting Bowel Cancer UK","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/qavr8kpiusqppbfdkcmfiagycqqisj1g0my3yi49bueam71u.png.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/qavr8kpiusqppbfdkcmfiagycqqisj1g0my3yi49bueam71u.png.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":19803,"title":"Club Member of the Month - July 2022","url":"\/blog\/club-member-of-the-month-july-2022\/","urlTitle":"club-member-of-the-month-july-2022","division":149911,"description":"Personal best for so many club members this month!","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/l6qeqj7sntrid13zdxv58foiuhqxv6lheqpo8wix28hwsbux.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/l6qeqj7sntrid13zdxv58foiuhqxv6lheqpo8wix28hwsbux.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0}],"labels":[]}
