Madeleine has been with us for most of the year and a regular in our evening classes. She came to Dunedin to study Psychology at Uni and is currently in her second year. Being from Waikaka, she started training at CrossFit Gore to get stronger and fitter for netball. She really enjoyed the atmosphere, and the CrossFit training was a lot more beneficial to her than normal gym training. The training must have worked as well because she is playing Netball for Southern A in the Dunedin Premier Comp.
First time she turned up at Southern Peak CrossFit she showed great form in her lifting both during strength training and Wods. She said she enjoyed our gym because we are really friendly and it reminded her of the gym back home, which is obviously a testament to the awesome training she received at CrossFit Gore and their community.
Madeleine has improved steadily over the course of the months here and it has been especially great to she her confidence improve. She has started to regularly going for the heavier plates now which she was always capable of lifting, but it has been much cooler watching the transformation and letting Madeleine make the leap herself.
We have a few people from the south and Madeleine is definitely one of the quieter ones from that group but always happy to chat about her day if you ask her:) It is the same with many members here. The more comfortable they feel the more they open up so great to see that too.
Looking forward to seeing many more improvements and PRs being smashed over the course of the year Madeleine. It has been awesome seeing the changes you have made and great to have you as part of our community in Dunedin. Keep working hard and good luck with the netball season:)
