🏆 Member of the Month 🏆

A huge congratulations to our Member of the Month, FiFi!

FiFi embodies everything we love about the CRO community — focus, consistency, determination and an incredible work ethic. She arrives at every session ready to put in the work, tackle the challenge ahead and give her absolute best.

Over the past few months, we have seen awesome growth in both her strength and fitness. The progress she has made hasn’t happened by chance; it’s the result of showing up consistently, trusting the process and staying committed to her goals.

What stands out most about FiFi is her approach - every workout is done with a positive attitude and a willingness to push herself a little further each time 💪

FiFi, we are incredibly proud of everything you have achieved and can’t wait to see what you accomplish next. Thank you for bringing your energy, commitment, and hard-working spirit to CRO every day!

Shoutout to Nikki 🙌🙌🙌 our MEMBER OF THE MONTH for April 👊👊

From smashing HYROX sessions to becoming a Quiz master, she’s absolutely killing it! 💥

Her consistency in showing up, putting in the work and stacking class after class is paying off in a big way. Her results are the product of months of dedication, discipline and showing up even when it’s tough💪💪

We’re so proud of you, Nikki. This is exactly how it’s done 🔥🔥🔥

✨ MEMBER OF THE MONTH ✨

This month we’re celebrating someone truly special… Tlalane 💛


Over the past few months, Tlalane has made consistency her mission. Session after session, she’s shown up, quietly working away in her usual corner and putting in the effort 👊

There’s something incredibly powerful about that kind of dedication. No noise, no fuss - just discipline, commitment and hard work.

And now? The results are speaking for themselves 👏

We are so proud of the progress you’ve made, Tlalane - not just physically, but in the commitment and strength you’ve built along the way. Your journey is a reminder that small, consistent steps lead to big change.

Keep showing up. Keep doing the work. We see you and we celebrate you! 🌟

ROOKIE OF THE OPEN
Stepping onto the box floor for the first time takes courage and this member embraced the challenge with grit and heart ♥️

Our Member of the Month is the definition of consistency. She shows up, puts in the work and quietly keeps levelling up - proof that progress isn’t magic, it’s commitment.

As a long-standing and valued member of our community, she’s not just part of the gym… she’s part of the fabric of it. From humble beginnings (1 class per week) Tash now trains 5 times per week (it must be love;)

Bonus points for training alongside her husband and daughter — because nothing says family bonding quite like burpees.

We’re proud of your strides, your consistency and the example you set every single week. 💪
