The Tina Project


It has been one month since Tina measured her max sit ups, push ups & squats in one minute. Last month she was able to do 28 sit ups, 16 push ups to a tall bench and 40 squats that hardly hit parallel. Today Tina did 33 sit ups, 22 push ups to a low bench and 44 squats that went well below parallel each rep! Great work Tina - what an example!

The Tina Project



Back in July Tina did

"Helen"
400 m run
21 KB Swings
12 Pull Ups

for the first time. Her time was 15:49 with the KB Swings to eye level. Yesterday Tina did "Helen" with an outstanding time of 12:52 and KB Swings were fully overhead! That is about 3 minutes off her old time! Her hard work is paying off!

Welcome to Steve and Donna!

Steve and Donna attended their first lunchtime class today. They did a great job and got introduced to some new movements.




Here's Steve attempting his first muscle up. He has plenty of strength to do one, and if he works on his false grip and keeps his elbows closer together he should have one within a month.
