Athlete of the Month (September) – Hilde Lapere

The Athlete of the Month for September is Hilde Lapere! Hilde participated at the 2017 ICF canoe marathon world championships.  In featured image… Hilda (left) with Rob Welsh taking Gold in the mixed pairs.

Hilde had the following amazing results:

Singles: silver

Doubles: silver

Mixed doubles: gold!

Hilda had the following to say about Her Training @CrossFitAlgoa with regards to her performances….

“I Couldn’t believe that I made the podium three times. It must be your CrossFit training that helped, as I definitely didn’t train enough for the paddling this year. ”

A massive congrats to Hilde! Keep pushing Hilde!

CrossFit is Universally Scalable

CrossFit is universally scalable! In the video below are a number of our members at various points in their #CrossFitAlgoa and health/fitness journey!

The first 2 ladies, Roxy and Lara are completing the Rope Climbs (Rx – as prescribed) while next Suprabha is scaling to “seated rope pulls to standing”.  Supa is using her legs on the ground to assist her to safely ascend to a standing height!

Next Taryn is rope climbing but to a reduced height thus scaling the distance to climb and thus workload, on any given ascent i.e. Making it slightly easier!

Grant was also climbing to this reduced height but then had to scale to lying rope pulls to standing, as his grip was “blown” (i.e. Fatigued), and he felt he was at risk of losing his grip.  With a chronic back condition, we smartly scaled to a safer yet still challenging rope climb variation!

We could even scale further to Rope Rows… much like Ring Rows but holding the rope.  All our our coaches at #CrossFitAlgoa are well trained to adjusting the movements (scaling) to appropriately match fitness level and ability for the appropriate training stimulus! Hence #CrossFit training at #CrossFitAlgoa is available to anyone, no matter your starting level of fitness!

ATHLETE OF THE MONTH – August 2017

Eva Thornton is our “Athlete of the Month” for the month of August!

Eva has, to say the least, excelled in CrossFit Competition. Last month she competed at the Reebok CrossFit Games in Madisson Wisconsin (USA) for the 2nd time (last was in 2015). Eva competed in the Masters Ladies 45-49 years division. Coming in at 49 years of age, Eva excelled in the competition, placing 12th in a highly competitive masters ladies field!

The 7 month, 3 stage process started with around 10500 ladies entering this masters ladies division in The Open of the Reebok CrossFit Games. Next the top 200 ladies competed in the Masters Age Group Online Qualifier. The top 20 athletes were then selected to compete at the Reebok CrossFit Games. Lastly these ladies competed in the 4 day CrossFit Games event testing them over a wide variety of events from a biathlon, through to heavy lifting, through to an obstacle course sprint to name but a few of the events. This is a TRUE TEST OF FITNESS and we are super proud of Eva’s achievements!
