At Better Gym Walsall Wood, we’re incredibly proud of our members and the remarkable achievements they’ve accomplished. This month, we’re celebrating three inspiring individuals whose dedication to fitness and perseverance has led them to achieve significant milestones. Their stories reflect the positive impact our gym, particularly our fitness classes, has had on their journeys.

Lisa: Member of the Month for August

Lisa’s journey is one of true resilience and determination. Despite undergoing radiotherapy for Breast Cancer, she has continued to attend our fitness classes each week, inspiring everyone around her. Lisa’s commitment to her health and well-being, even in the face of such challenges, is why she has been elected as our Member of the Month for August. Lisa’s story is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the positive role that fitness can play in recovery and well-being.

Heather: Krav Maga Success

Heather has recently achieved a significant milestone by passing her Practitioner Level 2 (P2) grading in Krav Maga with ‘Sparta Krav Maga.’ Heather credits her success to the increased fitness levels she has gained through our gym, particularly in the classes led by Kools and Ryan. “The classes enabled me to pass the physical portion of the grade,” Heather shared. “After passing my P1 in 2023, I was eager to grade for Practitioner Level 2. It was hard work and took a lot of time to learn all the techniques correctly. I’m really proud to have done this and also want to thank my trainer, Paul.” Heather’s story highlights how our fitness classes can provide the foundation needed to excel in specialised disciplines like Krav Maga.

Kirsty: British Under 23’s Gold Medalist

Kirsty’s dedication and hard work have paid off spectacularly, earning her the title of British Under 23’s Gold Medalist in Discus. Achieving a personal best of 48.65 metres in the competition, Kirsty’s dream of securing a national title has become a reality. She expressed her gratitude for the physical development she has gained through our fitness classes at Better Gym Walsall Wood. “I always dreamed of getting a national title, and I’m so grateful to have put the pieces together to achieve it. I’m excited to see what the remaining competitions of the year hold.” Kirsty’s success is a shining example of how our fitness classes can help members reach new heights in their athletic pursuits.
