3 years ago I got a message from my good friend and old flatmate Roshni. She told me one of her best friends Lorelle was coming to Dunedin to live and study and since she was obsessed with crossfit too, she needed a gym to train at. It was the start of a great friendship. Lorelle fitted in great from the start, easy to talk to and a great sense of humor most of the time:) She quickly became part of the morning coffee crew at Strictly which was the place we all spent most of our mornings and solved the worlds problems. if there was anything to be done around the gym she has always been happy to lend a hand or join in at competitions. With working weekends it has been harder to join in on comps this year but whenever has been free she have been there.
Indi has been a part of the gym too. Cleaning her hair up after she has been running around is a job in itself, but she is always welcome. It hasn’t been too bad though because she prefers the beach anyway.
When I talked to Lorelle about my new gym she thought it was a fantastic idea but since she didn’t have much time left in Dunedin she told me I should get onto it straight away haha always good to have your friends on your case to get stuff done. It did however take some time to get solved but it was great to share ideas with someone who saw things from a different angle. Her study and work background also meant she had some great input to how I should get the Southern Peak Fitness name out there.
It will be sad to see her leave Dunedin but as with all good friends its better to have them around for a short time than not at all.
Good luck with the future and whatever you decide to do. There is always a place for you to train and hang out here if you find yourself in Dunedin again.
