Congratulations to all the Members of the Month for October!
InnerFight: LAUREN PHILIPPOU
Lauren has been a consistent member for three years! She is a business owner and working mother of 3 little ones, yet she is a role model for her kids in making fitness an essential part of life. She has seen incredible progress in her fitness and continues to crush it in classes! An active member of the community along with her family, attending all our events!

Joshua Philippou is a member of our Kids class, who has a passion for fitness and his energy inspires others. He wants to move well and push himself to do better in both technique and making progress. He enjoys challenging himself both in and out of class. This month we saw Joshua join in Final Friday with his family. He was calm, confident, and focused. He did an outstanding job doing his best while working hard through each of the workouts. Congratulations, Joshua!
Endurance: SLAYDE BAKER
Slayde has only been in our community for a short while, but she’s fitted in incredibly well. Since day one she has been super positive and understands how we work here at IFE. She was one of our first community members and has gone from strength to strength with the pack. Picking up 3rd overall at Salalah and recently helping out Jad at the recent Mamzar Tri run leg. She continues to turn up, train hard and shows a load of #noweakness
Ladies Run Club: ALEX WILLIAMS
Alex joined LRC in August 2022 to surround herself with other runners and build some healthy habits. In March 2023 she leaned into more running, stacked consistency, and used LRC for accountability to her progress. The journey has been amazing to date, with Alex ticking off her first Half Marathon in Amsterdam this October, and no doubt, many more to come. Well done Alex, you inspire many!
Endurance - Ireland: POLLY DEMERY
Polly started with us with a feeling of fear around the Amsterdam marathon. She hadn’t done any specific training for it and was worried she wouldn’t be able to complete it. When Polly joined, her longest run to date had been 12km.
Polly got straight to work, asked all the right questions, applied herself and when I say applied herself, she didn’t miss a single session since she became a member.
She has also rocked up at race events that other clients were running to support them in the lashings of rain on more than one occasion. Her support and encouragement is admirable and exactly what our community represents.
Polly, we want to recognise your commitment to the community. With the improvements you have made since starting, we see a very bright running journey ahead of you.
Endurance - New Zealand: ASHLEY CHILD
Here are a few words from coach her coach Zoe:
"Ashley joined us in April as a remote community member before moving into 1:1 coaching as she set her sights on one of the majors, the New York Marathon . Ashley is no stranger to half marathons, but decided since living in New York City, that it would be rude not to participate in one of the greatest events the city has to offer and go all in.
She has worked hard to hit her training sessions accurately and positively. With work and travel added into her busy schedule over the last few months, October was the key month in her build up to get her race ready. Ashley hit every tempo, strength session, race pace prep and long run with determination, as well as practicing her nutrition and hydration plan well before this Sundays showdown.
You’ve done the hard work Ashley, now it’s go time! Enjoy the wild ride that the New York City Marathon will bring come Sunday"

The journey has been amazing to date, with Alex ticking off her first Half Marathon in Amsterdam this October, and no doubt, many more to come. Well done Alex, you inspire many!
Endurance - Ireland: POLLY DEMERY
Polly started with us with a feeling of fear around the Amsterdam marathon. She hadn’t done any specific training for it and was worried she wouldn’t be able to complete it. When Polly joined, her longest run to date had been 12km.
Polly got straight to work, asked all the right questions, applied herself and when I say applied herself, she didn’t miss a single session since she became a member.
She has also rocked up at race events that other clients were running to support them in the lashings of rain on more than one occasion. Her support and encouragement is admirable and exactly what our community represents.
Polly, we want to recognise your commitment to the community. With the improvements you have made since starting, we see a very bright running journey ahead of you.
Endurance - New Zealand: ASHLEY CHILD
Here are a few words from coach her coach Zoe:
"Ashley joined us in April as a remote community member before moving into 1:1 coaching as she set her sights on one of the majors, the New York Marathon . Ashley is no stranger to half marathons, but decided since living in New York City, that it would be rude not to participate in one of the greatest events the city has to offer and go all in.
She has worked hard to hit her training sessions accurately and positively. With work and travel added into her busy schedule over the last few months, October was the key month in her build up to get her race ready. Ashley hit every tempo, strength session, race pace prep and long run with determination, as well as practicing her nutrition and hydration plan well before this Sundays showdown.
You’ve done the hard work Ashley, now it’s go time! Enjoy the wild ride that the New York City Marathon will bring come Sunday"
