Huge congrats to our January Athlete of the Month - Josh! This guy has been quietly working hard and crushing goals over the past few months. Josh recently learnt how to do killing pull ups and is stringing them together in sets during workouts, got into a handstand for the first time, even learnt handstand push ups! Josh is an all round nice guy at the gym and always helps cheer on others. You can usually find him being distracted by one of the gym dogs Ivy and playing with her instead of his barbell! We look forward to watching Josh crush more goals this year! Find out more about Josh and what he has to say about CrossFit here:
