We have several members from the same family - siblings, uncles, aunties, mothers, fathers, partners...its crazy! Anymore and I'll have to re-name the studio after them.
On a more serious note, business is going strong, thanks to a fantastic, no-nonsense approach method of fitness, dedicated and hard working clients, and our will as humans to better ourselves and take the challenge of greater health.
Its so busy that keeping this post going is a full time job. You'll notice the time I'm writing this entry and the fact that I have missed the last couple of days as proof.
Here is a re-cap of the last few days:
First session in on Monday morning - Linda. Linda is one of our newest members and so far is enjoying the gradual increase in intensity. We did a meener than usual workout with Wall ball, box jumps dips and tababta skipping. In between each exercises we did ten reps of knee raises - a fantastic core exercise which is far superior to sit-ups.
Next in was Anne. A soldier in the army of GarageGYM and always ready to take up the battle. Anne is supremely fit, strong and looking great. Anne came to us over a year ago looking for improvements for her annual ski trip. What she found was a challenging and rewarding habit which is making her achieve a level of fitness which will help her in more than her skiing. Well done Anne on a tremendous years training. Enjoy your week of up the alps.
Ginette was back in after a week of to rest those tight and toned muscles of hers. Ginette trained a monster session on Monday and then came in today and she showed her increased energy and fitness with a record breaking wall ball record of 3:09 with a 4kg medicine ball. This is an extraordinary effort and she beat everyone up to date with this everyone - the men and women. Ginette, you having improved ten fold since joining several months ago and it is due to your unwavering persistance. You truly fight to the death - sometimes you win, sometimes you don't. I love working out with you.
Liz and Frank - the dynamic duo - were also in Monday and today. Again to dedicated members who push till there is nothing left in the tank, and again they did with the wall ball challenge, both breaking their own personal best times. Liz down from over 5minutes to 4 minutes flat, and Frank from 3:45 down to 3:35. Both have shown extraordinary body transformations and also have a long list of other benefits from continuous traing. Thank you both for your time here. It has been a blast
Coach Tommy continued with the devastating sessions on Monday evening. Unfortunately I cannot speak for him but I do know all his clients. Coral is one of the longest members here at the Garage and has soldiered on despite many setbacks. She continues to turn up and do her utmost at attaining great health. Keep up with the work load Coral. It must be done.
ALso Frank, Josephine, Bob, Jackie and new member Ellen were in that night - but I'll speak about them later on.
Tuesday saw Gulnaz and Mert start the evening sessions off. Mert, full of beans, keep us enteratined while we worked on and around G's small injury. They both hit the gym tonigh as well, and G focused on her legs finishing a monster leg workout of 150 squats - 100 jumping squats - 50 lunges. Mert did wall ball and a watered down version of the daily WOD. See you both tomorrow.
Mel and Alex (great to meet you both for the first time) were in for another one of their initiation sessions. Both keen to get results, they pushed extremely hard despite being only newcomers. They did the farmers run with very heavy weights interspursed with various exercises which really gave them a hard and thorough wokrout. Keep it up, the results will come and you'll being to love every minute of it.
Erin continuing with her exercise routine and becoming a familiar face was in again to push hard. The same was as the session before, she also was pushed hard, as everyone always is, and together we got her to really get the most out of herself. Now you are a pro at GarageGYM Erin, its time to accelerate the intensity and reach for the stars in terms of health, fitness and all that comes with it.
And, finally, to Wednesdays session - all twelve of them. Mel W in for her workout which she loves so much and keeps coming back for more. Again the WOD of farmers run and various other exercises was administered and she devoured it whole. Excellent attitude, strength and increasing fitness is seeing Mel W get the results she wants - hard work + time = success.
Lovely Sid and ready for whatever I throw at her. A really hard session as well. Instead of just various exercises in between the farmers run, we also threw in some great conversations. Thanks for the words of wisdom Sid. Your body is getting better every time I see you but don't think it is ok not to train just because your looking great. Keep coming back.
Jen is back for more - always and forever. She is adicted and cannot get enough of this place. Its obvious why though. Great coaches, a private environment and pure, hard, work. Jen hit the wall with the ball and smashed...yes, smashed her old time of 8:05 and recorded a blistering 3:39. I forget to tell her first time that it was a race against the clock, but still, an obvious improvement. Jen, your great, thanks for the presents and I look forward to Saturday's session.
Kim and Janaya completed the mornings workouts with their first attempt at the Wall Ball Challenge. The shared the load and finished together on 4:20. A great starting time and lots of improvements to come. Janaya was keen to beat her already impressive rowing time and that she did. A new time of 2:14 was recorded and she put out the challenge to Ginette that she is after her record - this si what it is all about! Kim, your technique, understanding of the human body and all round fitness is superb and I cannot wait to build on it. It's great to have you both on board.
Frank P made his return to GarageGYM this week and together with sis Josephine, they hit the wall to beat their old times, and, obvious now in this post, they also beat them. People are getting fitter, better bodies, and feeling full of energy thanks to the hard work they are applying on themselves. Oh yes, their times for the challenge: Josephine - 3:21 with 4kg and Frank with 3:20 with 5kg. Very impressive, and great end to the session as well.
Seb and gorgeous Mary followed. A few niggles didn't stop Mary as she powered through a leg session of 150 squats - 50 jumping squats - 50 lunges and much core work. Mary, you try and try and try and you can match it with anyone when it comes to determination. And, THE CHAMPION OF THE DAY, YEAR, DECADE - should I go on. Not only has his body gone from great to absolutely spectacular, Seb's fitness, muscle mass, body fat, strength, power, agility, endurance, speed and so forth has increased through the roof. How do I know, just look at his Wall Ball Challenge time - 2:24 - the first ever person probably on the face of the planet to get under three minutes. No more words are needed. P.S. Thank you so much for the gift both of you - Thank You.
ALdo in as a lone ranger which allows me to hone in on him. After Mary's advice to 'work him hard' that we did. But, Aldo was up to the challenge and he completed the wall ball challenge in a blistering pace of 3:10. A fantastic result for a newcomer and the super performance must run in the family. Aldo also completed the rest of the session with thirteen rounds of the WOD. Excellent Aldo, your fitness is already up.
Belinda and Paul in. Belinda a few session in so i didn't let up on her once. Paul on the other hand is just new to the garage so I went a little easier - that won't last. Belinda got her first result for the wall challenge and she got uner 4 minutes for the exercise. Again, for a beginner, this is extraordinary. Paul did a variation of everything cause I want him to come back - I'll unleash the full force in a few sessions time. Thank you both for putting your trust in me and I look forward to a growing relationship in body, health and just everyday life.
And, for the final session but just as great as all others - Jackie and newbie Ellen. Ellen displayed awesome fintess, endurance and resolve for a first time GarageGYM user and will definitely achieve much with this program. Welcome Ellen. Jackie - psycho Jackie(psycho because she never stops and does it four times a week) lived up to her fittist woman title and almost threw Ginette from the podium. It has only been a couple of months but Jackie is already showing results in everything she does. You may be genetically gifted Jackie - but that doesn't mean anything when faced with the pain of the workouts - you also have the tenacity to keep coming back for more. Go get 'em!
Thank you and good night. I love this place.
