February Members of the Month
Congratulations to all the Members of the Month for February!
InnerFight: DEEBA TAMIM
Deeba is the definition of consistency, effort, and sheer determination. She has shown absolute dedication to her training and lifestyle, and it is paying dividends in all areas of her health and fitness! An awesome member of our community—keep smashing it!
Youth: MAHA JYOTI
Our February Youth Member of the Month is Maha Jyoti. A dedicated member of our preteens programme, Maha joined us ten months ago as a beginner to fitness classes. Since joining, she has demonstrated exceptional hard work, diligently incorporating feedback on her form to improve her movement, resulting in increased strength and confidence. Initially hesitant to step onto a box, this month, Maha successfully completed box jumps! We are confident this is just the beginning of her fitness journey and are excited to witness her continued progress. Congratulations, Maha!
Endurance: CHARLOTTE DOUGLASS ELLIOTT
Charlotte has been an excellent example of consistent hard work. Over the years, she has committed to her passion for running, gradually building her volume and strength while learning when to push or relax in sessions. Recently, Charlotte has focused on her endurance speed, following her marathon training block at the end of 2024, which provided her with an excellent base level of fitness. The result was a Half Marathon PB in RAK, followed by another Half Marathon PB the week after at Burj to Burj.
Coaching Charlotte is an absolute pleasure—reminding her how far she has come and to forget the watch most of the time, which seems to work wonders for her on race day. Keep following your joy, Charlotte.
Ladies Run Club: NAOMI WILLIAMS
Naomi came to LRC with absolutely no race goals—just the pursuit of running better, enjoying her training, meeting other runners, and having some structure instead of the usual "easy runs" she was ticking off each week. We have seen Naomi go from strength to strength, as well as embrace the entire LRC and IFE community. She has overcome her fear of racing and even smashed an incredible half marathon this month at Burj to Burj. Well done, Naomi—we are thrilled to see how far you have come.
Endurance - Ireland: DAVID DEE
David has been a silent bomber—no fuss, just results. His attitude toward progression speaks for itself, making crazy improvements in run testing and taking us all by surprise at the 10K Trooperstown Trail Race, his first-ever running race! Taking it all in his stride.
It’s always the quiet ones you’ve got to watch out for! Super proud of you, David—keep pushing the dial.
Endurance - New Zealand: ROBYN O'BRIEN
Congratulations to Robyn O'Brien for being our MOTM for February. Robyn is someone in our community who works away behind the scenes to be the best version of herself.
After a trip to Japan last year, she came back ready to focus on a big, challenging goal and settled on the Tarawera 50km. Forming her own long-run schedule around our community sessions, she was consistent and committed to training smart. Even a slight hiccup—a rolled ankle from a hike—didn't slow her down. She managed her niggle well and continued her build-up for race day.
Robyn was humble in her goal, aiming for under six hours, but after a coaching chat, she realised she had the potential to aim for 5:30 or below. Race day came, and Robyn looked comfortable from start to finish, crossing the line strong at 5 hours 14 minutes, placing 11th in her age group.
Robyn—there’s a lot more where that performance came from, and we are excited to see you push your potential even further in your next goal!

Coaching Charlotte is an absolute pleasure—reminding her how far she has come and to forget the watch most of the time, which seems to work wonders for her on race day. Keep following your joy, Charlotte.
Ladies Run Club: NAOMI WILLIAMS
Naomi came to LRC with absolutely no race goals—just the pursuit of running better, enjoying her training, meeting other runners, and having some structure instead of the usual "easy runs" she was ticking off each week. We have seen Naomi go from strength to strength, as well as embrace the entire LRC and IFE community. She has overcome her fear of racing and even smashed an incredible half marathon this month at Burj to Burj. Well done, Naomi—we are thrilled to see how far you have come.
Endurance - Ireland: DAVID DEE
David has been a silent bomber—no fuss, just results. His attitude toward progression speaks for itself, making crazy improvements in run testing and taking us all by surprise at the 10K Trooperstown Trail Race, his first-ever running race! Taking it all in his stride.
It’s always the quiet ones you’ve got to watch out for! Super proud of you, David—keep pushing the dial.
Endurance - New Zealand: ROBYN O'BRIEN
Congratulations to Robyn O'Brien for being our MOTM for February. Robyn is someone in our community who works away behind the scenes to be the best version of herself.
After a trip to Japan last year, she came back ready to focus on a big, challenging goal and settled on the Tarawera 50km. Forming her own long-run schedule around our community sessions, she was consistent and committed to training smart. Even a slight hiccup—a rolled ankle from a hike—didn't slow her down. She managed her niggle well and continued her build-up for race day.
Robyn was humble in her goal, aiming for under six hours, but after a coaching chat, she realised she had the potential to aim for 5:30 or below. Race day came, and Robyn looked comfortable from start to finish, crossing the line strong at 5 hours 14 minutes, placing 11th in her age group.
Robyn—there’s a lot more where that performance came from, and we are excited to see you push your potential even further in your next goal!
