Team CSC Newsletter - May 2024
May Member of the Month -
Glen Waddell
Since joining Team CSC in early 2022, Glen has gone from strength to strength. He’s known for his massive deadlift and his ability to shift huge weights. That, and for switching up to ‘Damper 10’ on every workout! Alongside his physical capabilities, he’s also loved for being a friendly, positive, and engaging member who brings out the best in all of us.
For the CSC community, inside and outside of classes, Glen inspires a positive environment with his can-do attitude and light-hearted nature - Keep it up mate!
Glen also takes part in our CSC events, and you can count on him to give it his all at our in-house comps - Even if it is at the expense of his shins (for those of you who know, you know).
The coaching team all agree that you’re a pleasure to coach and we’ve enjoyed having you on classes for the last two years - Here’s to many more! Congratulations on Member of the Month, Glen!
💥CrossFit Kids Member of the Season💥
Hollie Baker
Hollie has been one of the most consistent participants in our kids programme. She is polite, kind and has a great attitude. Having been coached by almost all of the coaching team, there is nothing but positive feedback.
She always comes in before classes to practice other movements she may not get to do on classes. Pull-Ups, Toes to rings and having the ability to handstand walks already is so exciting to see!
Hollie’s dedication was also tested when she took part in her very first CrossFit Open! We ran a friendly competition between all those taking part on the kids programme and Hollie not only did all 3 workouts, but came first place overall.
Hollie, Congratulations on our first Kids Member of the Season!
