18.01.2022 FORT FAM FRIDAY! Jake is a more recent member at the Fort, but he has definitely made the most of his results in a short period of time. Anything Jake sets out to do he accomplishes with flying colours. An absolute beast in the gym How long have you been at FORT?... Around 2 months What do you do outside of the gym? (Eg work. Hobbies) I’m a chippy, usual week just consist of work and CrossFit at the moment, but I love camping, surfing be outdoors and active.

But my first day was a pretty hectic workout and I loved it. Your favourite movement and your least favourite? Favourite movement would be handstand push-ups or power cleans Least favourite double unders Your biggest achievement so far since training here? Just feeling heaps fitter and probably the fittest I’ve ever been. The best thing coach Jay has ever said to you? He says good things all the time haha he is just really good at getting across what he is trying to teach it’s not confusing and he makes it a lot easier to understand. Your favourite thing about training at FORT? The culture is unreal! Everyone gets along I’ve only been here 2 months but it’s all about just doing your best which is awesome. What was your main goal when starting here and is it still the same? I wanted to test myself first and see how I went, but really the sky is the limit I’d love to compete one day and would love to try push myself towards CrossFit games. One piece of advice for anyone who is thinking about starting? DO IT! I’ve already been trying to get people to join, best decision I made.

15.01.2022 FORT FAM FRIDAY! Christine has been a go getter from the moment she stepped foot in the gym. No challenge has been too hard. As soon as she got the all clear to start training again it has been go go go balancing training and mum life on the go How long have you been at FORT?... Been at Fort for one year What do you do outside of the gym? (Eg work. Hobbies) I'm a maths teacher currently on MAT leave, I play AFL for Port Macquarie and I spend time with my husband travelling the north coast, doing day trips. Were you nervous before you first session, and how did you feel after it? I was excited about trying something new and different, and fell in love with it, I was sore and challenged but that was what I was looking for. Your favourite movement and your least favourite?

Main goal was to rxd all workouts and to do at least one crossfit comp. Still the same goal :) One piece of advice for anyone who is thinking about starting? Fort is not your normal gym, everyone leaves their egos at the door and we all push each other. Your not joining a gym, your joining a family.

15.01.2022 FORTFAM FRIDAY!

Least - anything with burpees Your biggest achievement so far since training here? When starting at Fort I was barely able to lift the empty bar to my shoulders... these days it’s a nice feeling being able to get 40kg above my head. The best thing coach Jay has ever said to you? I wouldn’t even think about trying to put your arms above your head tomorrow, they are gonna be orangutan arms Your favourite thing about training at FORT? The atmosphere is like nothing else, it’s like a giant family. Everyone is so friendly, encouraging and supportive. What was your main goal when starting here and is it still the same?
