Team CSC Newsletter - February 2023
Member of the Month - Ben Hillyard
Our first Member of the Month of 2023 goes to Ben Hillyard!
Ben has been a member of ours since January 2022 and all the coaches agree he has shown amazing progress in the year since joining us! We can’t wait to see what’s to come for him in his journey with CrossFit.
He is consistent in his training, patient, and willing to put in the graft to achieve everything he has so far.
Ben has recently nailed his muscle ups, which he’s worked hard on in Open Gym around his usual training on classes. He took onboard coaches’ advice and didn’t try to jump in to doing these too soon without nailing the basics first.
As well as really knuckling down with his training, Ben is a super bubbly character to have on classes and is always pleasant to the coaches and all other members!
Well done in your journey so far Ben, we can’t wait to see you absolutely smash the CrossFit Open this year and throw around some muscle ups! 💪
