The life of GarageGYM


Mary recorded her first 500m rowing time. A beginning time of 2:56 is exceptional for her first attempt. And this result was after an intense session of 50reps of step ups/wall ball/bench press/push press/lunges and pull ups. Well done Mary. See you next week.

Seb was in - bigger and better than last time. He flew through his workout of 50 reps of bench jumps/bench press 50kg/wall ball/pull ups/lunges with 15kg dumbbells/ push press 9kg/back extensions/ and dips with knee raises. You truly are an athlete Seb. He finished the session with a big improvement on his rowing technique for the 500m and a few flips on the olympic rings. Go Seb!
Jen was in and demolished the four hundred rep exercises: pull up on rings/standing push ups/sit ups/squats. Jen, your improvements are extraordinary. And your results even better. Keep coming in and showing the other members how to do it...
Josephine who has been one of the most consistent members was in again today. She did the 50 rep round of exercises including the full bench jump which used to be impossible and is now a walk in the park. Josephine, keep it up, you are strong, full of energy and your results keep on coming. Well done. Good luck on the GAT.

Dynamic Duo were in after Liz's lay off for a week. Together they blitzed the 100rep exercises. Liz demonstrated flawless technique, while Frank recorded a record time of 20 minutes to complete all four and Liz was close behind on 24:00 minutes. Good to have the team back and I look forward to Friday. Note: Coach Neim will be in after 12pm this Friday - make sure you all show off your improvements)
Sid was in and struggled today - We all have our off days and today was one of hers. Great effort on still coming in and performing the workout Sid. See you on Friday, refreshed and ready for war.

Gulnaz was in last night with Matty and together they completed the 100rep workout. Gulnaz did a fantastic set of full pull ups with a jump for assistance on the positive phase. All up she did an extraordinary workout and showed vast increases in strength and stamina. Keep up the great work Gulnaz. Matty displayed his skills not just in the gym but also outside of it with a fantastic master mix of heart starting songs which are sure to get everyone into action. Thanks Matty.
Frank and Josephine were in before them and together they set records for the sit up challenge they missed out on last week. Frank recorded a super set of 125reps in 2minutes and Josephine set a girls record of 75. Well done. What was just as impressive was there gymnastic skills. Together they did several rounds of summersaults. Josephine getting a great score of 3 reps in 30 seconds and on his last attempt Frank got 7. Well Done! It was an enjoyable session.
Jess was back and his leg was still playing up - it didnt stop him though. Tabata intervals for several upper body exercises. You are extremely strong Jess and it is a pleasure to watch you chew the weights up.

Sid was in this day as well and was ready for a tough session and that she had and completed. Sid, you really pushed hard today. It was great to watch, your determination will get you everything you want.

Ginette, your always strong and ready for a great workout. We did tabata intervals and she chewed them up. You really showed big improvements and your body is looking great to boot. I look forward to our three days a week session from next week onwards instead of two.
You'll only get better.

Anne, I had fun with you on Tuesday morning. Sorry for arriving a little late and great for sticking around. Super workout and especially the deadlifts. Your technique is superb. Keep working as hard as you do - it truly is a sign of a healthy mind (and body)

Well done to everyone and a special note to Frank B who last Friday had a crack at his PB and just missed it. He is still the champion by .02 and Bob is hot on his tail. I look fowrard to the future of this competition.

Don't worry about the cold you have come down with John P. You have plenty of time to work out and get into the best shape of your life.
