Huge congrats to our Athlete of the Month for April! Shuvon has recently joined our Access Weightlifting Club and is making massive improvements in both her Snatch & her Clean and Jerk. Shuvon's dedication inside and outside of the gym has been noticed by all our coaches and she is always one of the hardest workers in the room. Shuvon has recently lost 36cm off her body by knuckling down on her nutrition and macros over the past 8 weeks. We can not wait to see what this awesome girl achieves over the next few months!

• Why did you start CrossFit? I first saw a CrossFit class when I was at my previous gym and it scared the absolute crap out of me! everyone was super intimidating cause they were lifting heavy weights, slamming them down and heavy metal cranking! but all of that intrigued me and i wanted to join in on the fun. I ended up doing my fundamentals class and joining in. Best decision!
• What do you love about CrossFit Access? Everything and everyone!! Access gives and gives and gives to it's members and looks after us all. Our coaches are awesome with a world of knowledge and always willing to help, even when they're flat out with a busy class and/or a busy life.
• Any advice for anyone just starting their CrossFit journey? don't be scared of the movements, they're all scaleable, don't believe the stereotypes, keep your ego in check and most of all have fun!
