Team CSC Newsletter - July 2023
Member of the Month - Hadley Robertson
The coaches have put forward Hadley for July’s member of the month!
Since joining us in September last year, Hadley has stood out - always showing up and always showing a willingness to listen and learn, and give 100% effort into everything that he does.
In under a year, he has already taken part in his first ever CrossFit Open, our Winter In-House Throwdown and two external competitions! He most recently took 2nd place with his team at the Adventure Fitness Series in Snowdonia. 🏆
We are amazed in the progress that Hadley has made in such little time and feel that he sets a great example of how consistency and hard work pays off!
Well done Hadley, here’s to the many years to come of you smashing your training! 💪
