Member of the Month


Why do I love Crossfit so much?

Crossfit has turned my world upside down.

The love and support from everyone at Crossfit Consilium is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. You turn up, do some crazy, lung-burning workouts and high five each other at the end. Unlike any gym I’ve ever been to! 

 You can be really struggling and there’ll be someone there shouting your name to get you through it. Or...you’ll be absolutely bossing it and there’ll still be someone there telling you how well you’re doing! The feeling after finishing a workout is surreal, with everyone on that post-WOD buzz.

I was voted as Member of the Month this month and the comments I received from everyone were so lovely. 

 Special shoutout to the best coaches that support each and every member at the box. The coaches I have the pleasure of training with every day are the main reason I have progressed so much over the past few months. Their patience, guidance and encouragement during every session makes such a huge difference to my confidence and over all enjoyment of being a member at Crossfit Consilium. If you're lucky enough to find a trainer/coach that you enjoy spending your early mornings/late night gym sessions with, it makes such a huge difference to your motivation and happiness when it comes to exercise. 

 If you do one thing this month, let it be joining a Crossfit community!

Winter can be the hardest month to stay motivated for the gym. Sometimes the last thing you want to do when it's pitch black at 4pm and -5 degrees outside is head to the gym. That is probably why people are most likely to quit in the final months of the year.  So we need to re-focus our minds on our reason 'why'. Why do we still work out? Why do we strive to achieve more? We need to remind ourselves why we train hard and stay motivated. From how it makes us feel, to seeing our weekly progress, it's good to find our reason 'why' when we're lacking enthusiasm for midweek sessions in the wind and rain.  Endorphins It has been proven that high intensity workouts lead to the release of endorphins. Endorphins are the body's natural happy pills that when triggered, leave us feeling positive and in high spirits. Similar to that post-WOD euphoric feeling when you're high-fiving your gym squad after completing a challenging workout. Frequent ...

What Happens in Vagus...

Doctor appointment after doctor appointment eventually resulted in me being diagnosed with vasovagal syncope in 2012. During this period, I was passed from doctor to doctor to get their perspective and understanding on what the hell was going on. During one particular test, I suffered a cardiac arrest which scared both me and my family into desperately trying to find a treatment. I was prescribed beta blockers and my heart monitor data was frequently checked to gain an insight into how my heart/body was working. Since this long and difficult period of my life, I have been forced to stop playing rugby (a sport that I was progressing to a high level in) to focus on improving...
