Zoe is a very busy mum of two great kids aged 6 and 2. Her big hobby is Roller Derby. She commits a lot of hours every week at the Edgar Centre to coaching the Dunedin Team and playing for them as well. They play against teams from all over the country and overseas. Her other big hobby is Crossfit. She comes to three sessions every week mostly in the morning. She does all of this while being a managing director of a games company. It is super inspiring to see Zoe be a great role model for her kids and working so hard at the gym on her strength and fitness at the same time. As Zoe says herself “I think it’s good for them to see their mum focussed on being strong, active and healthy, so I try to emphasize those things”.
Zoe has always been a big believer in making sure she is able to do things like running a certain distance or lifting a certain weight. Zoe actually joined our gym because, to use her own words “I was the slowest and/or the weakest in the sessions I came to try it out”. Just that tells you how awesome her outlook on life is. She didn’t do well at something and right away she was motivated to come back and get good at it rather than giving up. That is how everyone should attack anything new. Zoe wanted to join a gym where she would have to work hard to get stronger and fitter and she certainly found it. Zoe has turned things around and she has made huge improvements in her time here. Im really excited to see where she can take her fitness in the future.
We are very lucky to have you as part of our community Zoe. You will motivate heaps of people around you to be better. Especially a lot of our young students will find it motivating to see a successful and motivated person like you throwing down at the gym.
Good luck with the Roller Derby season Zoe.
