Members of the Month (August)
Congratulations to all the Members of the Month for August!
InnerFight: KARIM NAGATY
Karim has shown No Weakness! He has embarked on a journey to become a better version of himself and has never looked back! Over 30kgs of fat loss to date, and with still a long way to go, Karim is just getting started!
Youth: ADAM ABEIDAT
Adam has been a part of my youth program for over 6 years. He has always been so fun to be around because he has a great sense of humor. But, recently something else has stood out about Adam. His hard work. Adam has participated with his family in several Final Fridays’ and despite being the youngest in the room, he has worked really hard to keep up and keep his team going. Additionally, Adam has recently transitioned to the Preteens class where he is doing an outstanding job learning new movements and pushing himself to improve. Congratulations, Adam!
Endurance: HANA BIBI
Words from her coach Rob Jones
"When Hana Started training with IFE 3 months ago, 5km was a challenge. She would finish this at 8.00p/km and be cooked, but she had an incredible ‘why’ and would not be stopped in her goal to run a marathon.
Fast forward 12 weeks and she has just completed a 32km treadmill run faster than that 5km pace.
As an athlete she is the perfect blend of happiness and hard work. She questions training sessions to understand their meaning, she is honest when she is tired and needs to deload or rest and she is never without a smile on her face (even on testing week!)
I'm very excited for the final month leading into Chicago marathon and know, that whilst this might have been the driving force to start running, it will not be the end."
Well done!
Ladies Run Club: ELIZABETH BRENAN
We would like to announce that Elizabeth is our August Member of the Month. Liz has been consistently ticking off her half marathon training all summer long in her build towards Amsterdam. Your dedication to the process is outstanding, Liz.

Olly set an example not only for the community but for himself!. He took on a challenge of undertaking 6 marathons in 8 months. He has spoken about not feeling particularly proud about his marathons to date and was searching hard for this feeling.Some may have given up at this point.
On the 20th of August Olly ran his 4th marathon locally. We organised to do it with the community. Not only did Olly find personal pride, he hit milestones in his running with a PB and found huge personal growth and accomplishment.
We are insanely proud of you and I speak from the community when i say there is no one is more deserving for the August Member of the month.
Endurance - New Zealand: TOBY JORDAN
Here are a few words from coach Zoe about why he has earned this…
"Committed and persistent are words that describe Toby's attitude towards training. Moving from community program up to 1:1 coaching this month, Toby has put the pedal to the metal. He has worked hard to improve his fitness after having longCOVID and an ankle injury, confidently executing his first month of a full program. Toby is extremely self reflective and enjoys trying to understand how he feels during training or a race so he can constantly learn from, improve and build on his endurance and mindset. After a big build phase, he is ready to face his 50km goals for Taupō and Tarawera.
He's well and truly aware that staying consistent and hitting key training sessions will lead to success. Congratulations Toby, we are excited to see how far you push yourself in endurance life".

Endurance - Ireland: OLLY JAMES
Olly set an example not only for the community but for himself!. He took on a challenge of undertaking 6 marathons in 8 months. He has spoken about not feeling particularly proud about his marathons to date and was searching hard for this feeling.Some may have given up at this point.
On the 20th of August Olly ran his 4th marathon locally. We organised to do it with the community. Not only did Olly find personal pride, he hit milestones in his running with a PB and found huge personal growth and accomplishment.
We are insanely proud of you and I speak from the community when i say there is no one is more deserving for the August Member of the month.
Endurance - New Zealand: TOBY JORDAN
Here are a few words from coach Zoe about why he has earned this…
"Committed and persistent are words that describe Toby's attitude towards training. Moving from community program up to 1:1 coaching this month, Toby has put the pedal to the metal. He has worked hard to improve his fitness after having longCOVID and an ankle injury, confidently executing his first month of a full program. Toby is extremely self reflective and enjoys trying to understand how he feels during training or a race so he can constantly learn from, improve and build on his endurance and mindset. After a big build phase, he is ready to face his 50km goals for Taupō and Tarawera.
He's well and truly aware that staying consistent and hitting key training sessions will lead to success. Congratulations Toby, we are excited to see how far you push yourself in endurance life".
