Sorry to have missed the last few days of posting. No excuses so I'll just shout my mouth and get on with it.

Last week ended on a fairly easy note as I downgraded most peoples sessions to allow them a bit of recovery from the long hard haul we've all been doing over the winter months. It was a mixture of exercises, enough to the get the heart rate going but not enough to emit any soreness.

Jackie and Erin are going strong with Jess jumping in the deep end and matching it with them both even though they have been here for several weeks now and Jess is just beginning. Together you all push each other and push the garagegym envelope of what is possible. Great going.

Robert still hanging around and still putting in all he can muster. Robert, you are one of the most consistent people Ive ever met, well done! See you next week for a more brutal session.

Mel W is getting in better shape every session, each one building upon last weeks work. Fairly new to the world of GarageGYM but enough session under her belt to know what is asked of her, Mel does extraordinarily well ever time and without even a whimper.

Sid had a great session, no holding back - not that you ever do Sid. Another one who keeps coming back and if I have learnt anything from my many years in the fitness industry it is those who continue to turn up each week who get the gains they are after.

And we welcome the return of Christie who has had a month off to finish home renovations. A moderate session of mixed exercises to break her in, but no suprise she rowed a better time than she had done before with a new PB of 2:05.7 - showing us that a little rest isn't a bad thing - just not too much hey Christie.

Paul and Belinda in Friday noght after their trip to the snow along with several other GarageGYM members and Coach Tommy took them through their workouts.

Jen finished off the week on Saturday with a beautiful park workout as the sun was shining and we couldn't resist. Lots of fun on the play equipment, Jen showing me she hasn't lost her childhood spirit. See you Wednesday Jen.

Monday back at the Garage and it was one of those weekends where most people wanted their Monday's off from training. Only Ginette made it in for the morning and even she was in a hurry. A solid set of squats, deadlifts and the dynamic clean and press reserved for the elite only is what Ginette was served with. She managed just fine and had superb technique and really showing her foundational work she has doen over the past winter. Time to pick up the pace and enjoy the sun Ginette.

I'll make a post now about new recruit Michael D.

Michael is on a mission and we here at the Garage are going to help him achieve it. I won't divulge too much yet, but from first impression, Michael seems the type to really put it all on the line and get the most out of every workout - another real Garagegym memebr in the making. Great to have you on board Mick.
