MAY MEMBER OF THE MONTH – CHRIS & NIX

This month, we’re celebrating two people who have been part of the Leo story from the very beginning, Chris & Nix.

Recently, they’ve really doubled down on their training and continue to lead by example with their consistency and attitude. We’ve even loved seeing them bring their daughter along to share in the Leo community too. Always positive, always kind, and always smiling, they are loved by everyone who trains with them. Fantastic as individuals and sensational as a couple, we’re incredibly lucky to have them as part of Leo.

We celebrated Chris & Nix with their Member of the Month Workout on the 9th of May, have you seen their member of the month reel https://www.instagram.com/p/DYMhK7jNxIT/

Here’s what Chris & Nix had to say about their Leo journey so far.

STARTING THE JOURNEY

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

We joined Leo in 2019 after getting bored with the classic “wander around a generic gym” routine. Leo had us from day one with its high energy group sessions and a genuine sense of community.

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

No two sessions are the same and the energy from the coaches and everyone in the room makes it genuinely fun to turn up.

We’re all in the pain cave together, pushing each other, and somehow it becomes addictive, especially when you start seeing the results.

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

Our biggest highlight was taking on HYROX as a mixed pair in 2023, tough but lots of fun!

Our next goal is less about a single event and more about continuing to build strength, speed, and overall happiness through training together.

Has Leo influenced your life outside of training?

Leo has given us a lot more get up and go, more energy, more structure, and a bit more motivation for everything else.

It’s also introduced us to some great people we now call friends, and it’s a fantastic place for networking.

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

We built our online bicycle tools business back in 2015 and ran it for six years before selling in 2021, which was quite a journey.

Outside of Leo, we’re usually travelling or on a padel court somewhere.

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

Just keep showing up, and your gains will follow. It’s a brilliant mix of people and a genuinely supportive community with socials and the very best Christmas parties on the planet.

MESSAGES FROM THE LEO FAMILY

Here’s what others had to say about Chris & Nix:

Ben

Chris and Nix have been part of the Leo crew since the beginning, providing energy, good vibes and lots of laughs every time they join a class. Whichever class they are in, and whoever they team up with, they just make every session a bit more fun and don’t take things too seriously, although they are both super fit!

Individually, they are loved and respected by all and together give us all couple goals. Both inside the gym and out, they are wonderful people and so deserving to be the Members of the Month.

Donna

Chris & Nix are fab members of Leo. Chris is always full of encouraging words during a gruelling workout and Nix brings joy, laughter and fun.

A huge congratulations to Chris & Nix on being our Members of the Month. Thank you both for the energy, positivity and support you bring into Leo every single week. You make the community better just by being part of it, thank you to all the members that took part on May 9th!
