Members of the Month (December)
Congratulations to all the Members of the Month for December!

InnerFight: Graham Brown
Graham has been Mr Consistent for a long time. He always shows up to the early morning classes and has recently been involved in several community competitions. Graham has continued to be consistent throughout December, and it’s been awesome to see the changes he has made and his dedication to smashing life.
Youth: Emilio Laghi
Our Youth Member of the Month for December is Emilio Laghi. As a member of our teens' class, Emilio has made great progress since starting with us six months ago. With a consistently positive attitude and strong work ethic, he's always eager to learn new techniques and push himself to improve. It has been awesome to watch it all come together for him as his strength and confidence continue to grow. Emilio embodies the spirit of our teen fitness programme, demonstrating that commitment and perseverance lead to amazing results. Congratulations, Emilio!
Endurance: Dan Ridout
Dan Ridout sat down with Tom in April 2024 and clearly stated his goal: sub-3 hours at the Abu Dhabi Marathon.
Since that day, he has completely committed to the goal and The InnerFight Way of working towards it. He has immersed himself in the community but put himself first when it counts. He has adopted a growth mindset and an ability to turn negativity into positive lessons and attitudes. All this culminated in Dan running 2 hrs 57 mins in Abu Dhabi—a huge 11 min PB!
#NoWeakness Dan, our December Member of the Month.
Ladies Run Club: Armelle Liverton
This month, Armelle ticked off her first marathon. She absolutely smashed it in 4 hours 11 minutes after a steady and consistent 12-week training block with LRC. Well done, Armelle—plenty more racing to come in 2025!
Endurance - Ireland: Joyce Bartley
No shortcuts here. Joyce has been relentlessly focused on building her aerobic base over the last five months, and the results speak for themselves. In December, we conducted a final analysis for the block and re-tested her running. The outcome was fantastic: Joyce improved her threshold pace by 25 seconds per kilometre.
These gains go beyond medals or personal bests—they represent a complete transformation of her aerobic capacity. Joyce's hard work throughout the year has earned her a whole new running vocabulary heading into 2025, and we couldn’t be more excited and impressed by her commitment.
When you're in the thick of the process, it's hard to see the progress. But Joyce understood the journey, trusted the system, and showed up every single day.
Endurance - New Zealand: Angela Smith
Congratulations to Angela Smith for being our MOTM for December!
Angela is the definition of working hard and training harder. In her 4th year of racing and 5th year of training, Ang is tackling the 2-day individual event at Coast to Coast 2025. Ang has worked tirelessly to keep her training consistent by being adaptable and always, always finding a silver lining when things in life don't quite go to plan.
This December has been no different. Despite working overtime and increasing her training load, she has taken it all in her stride and has the hunger to do better and be better every single day. Ang has built up her running strength and endurance this month after a niggly foot had stopped her previously. She is determined to continue laying these strong foundations to run confidently over Goat Pass.
With the goal to improve her technique on the kayak, her technical downhill running, and her strength on the bike while nailing her nutrition, Ang knows what it takes to find the extra 1% in all areas of training for this unique multisport event.
Your top 2 inches are incredible, Ang, and we can't wait to see you in your element come race day in February.

Endurance: Dan Ridout
Dan Ridout sat down with Tom in April 2024 and clearly stated his goal: sub-3 hours at the Abu Dhabi Marathon.
Since that day, he has completely committed to the goal and The InnerFight Way of working towards it. He has immersed himself in the community but put himself first when it counts. He has adopted a growth mindset and an ability to turn negativity into positive lessons and attitudes. All this culminated in Dan running 2 hrs 57 mins in Abu Dhabi—a huge 11 min PB!
#NoWeakness Dan, our December Member of the Month.
Ladies Run Club: Armelle Liverton
This month, Armelle ticked off her first marathon. She absolutely smashed it in 4 hours 11 minutes after a steady and consistent 12-week training block with LRC. Well done, Armelle—plenty more racing to come in 2025!
Endurance - Ireland: Joyce Bartley
No shortcuts here. Joyce has been relentlessly focused on building her aerobic base over the last five months, and the results speak for themselves. In December, we conducted a final analysis for the block and re-tested her running. The outcome was fantastic: Joyce improved her threshold pace by 25 seconds per kilometre.
These gains go beyond medals or personal bests—they represent a complete transformation of her aerobic capacity. Joyce's hard work throughout the year has earned her a whole new running vocabulary heading into 2025, and we couldn’t be more excited and impressed by her commitment.
When you're in the thick of the process, it's hard to see the progress. But Joyce understood the journey, trusted the system, and showed up every single day.
Endurance - New Zealand: Angela Smith
Congratulations to Angela Smith for being our MOTM for December!
Angela is the definition of working hard and training harder. In her 4th year of racing and 5th year of training, Ang is tackling the 2-day individual event at Coast to Coast 2025. Ang has worked tirelessly to keep her training consistent by being adaptable and always, always finding a silver lining when things in life don't quite go to plan.
This December has been no different. Despite working overtime and increasing her training load, she has taken it all in her stride and has the hunger to do better and be better every single day. Ang has built up her running strength and endurance this month after a niggly foot had stopped her previously. She is determined to continue laying these strong foundations to run confidently over Goat Pass.
With the goal to improve her technique on the kayak, her technical downhill running, and her strength on the bike while nailing her nutrition, Ang knows what it takes to find the extra 1% in all areas of training for this unique multisport event.
Your top 2 inches are incredible, Ang, and we can't wait to see you in your element come race day in February.
