{"id":30389,"title":"July club member of the month","description":"This month it gives me so much pleasure to announce the Hels Bells club member for July.","content":"

The summer holidays have arrived! Day time classes are dialled back but evening classes continue and I\u2019m very fortunate to have great coaches who are going to cover sessions whilst I take a summer holiday in August.<\/p>

September sees the start of the new term and the next kettlebell induction which will run on the morning of Saturday September 2nd. So if you know of anyone, or are keen to join evening classes, get in touch.<\/p>

As a club we have reached the peak of two handed swing progression and all club members completed the snatch test. Over the summer evening members are focusing on a clean, press and squat progression. Which will run throughout ! <\/p>

Club member of the month is a very worthy member who fully deserves the award because they have worked hard, quietly behind the scenes, for the last 6 weeks to make some changes in order to achieve their goals. <\/p>

I am delighted that this month club member goes to Emma.<\/p>

\"nipuphdnw7cqlhfydq2wvafgphzdi0pwh8ip1yrlspszslcg.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&v=2\"Emma has been training with Hels Bells right from the outset. She is a committed day timer training twice a week and and integral part of the Tuesday & Thursday morning gang, but also the club as a whole.<\/p>

\"chsqomdfbavijjdctc6dcwqsjhnoqb1hkq6kldzegebrtlv9.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&v=2\"Over the years Emma has proven she is a very capable kettlebeller. She consistently works hard to improve her technique and is always looking for ways to improve and get stronger. This was typified during lockdown when Em did some online work with the UK\u2019s StrongFirst lead coach and received great feedback on her technique.<\/p>

\"ndugkjba98wfj2ave52tqum3yv53j5dcpsbmpvw0kzcplmha.jpeg.jpeg?w=1140&v=2\"Six weeks ago Em approached me to ask for some additional support to help her achieve nutritional changes and work towards her long term goals. Together we talked things through, unpicking potential barriers and looking at how to find a realistic route forwards to allow her to succeed. I set Em some challenges both with her training, nutrition and mindset. <\/p>

Em went away determined and focused. Fast forward six weeks later and I am so proud of her! She has been consistent and focused. Em wanted to reduce her weight which she has achieved. She\u2019s also reduced the inches across her body. But more importantly Emma has worked hard to practice the habits that will support her to continue to move forwards. She\u2019s upped her training to three times a week, introduced walks and has been mindful of her nutritional choices - reducing sugar and sticking to it. The results speak for themselves. Em has commented her energy levels have improved. Her sleep has improved, she feels calmer and more in control. Clothes are fitting better and she\u2019s positive and upbeat. <\/p>

Her transformation has been more than just physical and she should be so proud of all she has achieved. Her hard work and dedication has most certainly paid off. <\/p>

Aside from this Em is a good friend and great support to me. Running a business can be lonely, but over the years Em has always been there for me to lend a listening ear and to offer her advice. I am very grateful to her for that, she\u2019s helped me through some challenging times. <\/p>

Em is a highly regarded club member, those that have the pleasure to train with her enjoy her company and the support she brings to her training partners is very much valued by all. <\/p>

It really is a pleasure to support and coach Em and I am proud of the progress she has made. But more importantly I feel very fortunate to call her my friend. <\/p>

Congratulations Em you totally deserve club member of the month. You are one strong and determined individual. <\/p>
