MARCH MEMBER OF THE MONTH – YVES

This month, we’re proud to celebrate Yves as our Member of the Month, and if you’ve spent any time training at Leo, you’ll know exactly why.

Yves is one of those members who brings something special into every session. Always smiling, always positive, and one of the kindest people in the gym, he has a way of lifting the energy in the room, not just through his own training, but through the way he supports others. Whether he’s showing up early to cheer people on or taking on whatever workout is thrown at him with a great attitude, Yves embodies what Leo is all about.

Since joining, his progress has been incredible. From building consistency in his training to proudly earning his Hyrox badges (and even sewing them onto his Leo hoodie to represent the journey), Yves has grown in strength, confidence, and knowledge across the board. But more than anything, he’s become a huge part of the Leo community , and it’s safe to say, everyone loves him.

Here’s what Yves had to say about his journey so far.

STARTING THE JOURNEY

What brought you to Leo and where were you at the very beginning of your fitness journey?

I have tried to apply the performance mindset to my fitness journey - with limited success. Before joining, my mind was set to reaching the objective and losing interest after completion! I was in need of something that allows me to enjoy the journey.

A shorter answer could have been: Cassie told me to come! "Come to Leo, try it and become one of us!"

What’s it like training at Leo? What makes you show up every day?

I spend a lot of time thinking about what makes people show up.Leo has cracked it. It's the combination of endorphins, structure, variety, great coaching and being inspired by the community.

What’s been your biggest training achievement since joining Leo?

My biggest achievement is that I have created a habit, I look forward to each session. Forming habits is tougher than it sounds.

My next goal is to survive a Hyrox solo.

Has Leo influenced your life outside of training?

Better sleep, better core and I can still fit in my clothes.

What’s one thing we might not know about you? What do you do when you’re not at Leo?

I help companies launch new projects, usually something that has never been done before.

What advice would you give to those just starting out or curious about Leo?

"Go!". I wish someone had told me sooner.What you'll find is a room full of people who genuinely want you to do well and get better wherever you are in your fitness journey.Your best is always good enough and oh boy Leo helps you raise it.

MESSAGES FROM THE LEO FAMILY

Yves’ impact hasn’t gone unnoticed and his training buddies had plenty to say.

Jules

Yves is such a great addition to this gym, he embraced the Leo spirit straight away and has now become an important fixture upstairs and downstairs.

I’ve found a fellow rocker with the same 80’s rock references as myself and get a knowing look when Bon Jovi comes over the airways.

Yves, you don’t give love a bad name, you help us all have a nice day.

Party on my Belgian burpee buddy.

Cassie

Consistency beats everything — and Yves proves it. Always smiling, always working, always improving. His commitment to his training and his positive attitude have driven incredible progress. A true gentleman in and out of the gym.

A huge congratulations to Yves on being our March Member of the Month. Your energy, consistency, and the way you show up for others make Leo a better place to train every day.
