SEPTEMBER MEMBER OF THE MONTH: MERRYN

Congratulations to Merryn for being our September Member of the Month!!

There are so many reasons we love Merryn, but the biggest one is she shows up. Day after day, Merryn is there at the 5:30am sessions, often running to get to class on time! Her consistency hasn’t faltered, even through pregnancy. She’s still crushing her lifts, cheering others on, smashing every workout thrown her way, and welcoming everyone with kindness and warmth. We are so lucky to have her as part of our Leo tribe. We’ll be celebrating Merryn this Saturday 27^th September with her member of the month workout. Make sure you book on through the app!

We caught up with her to hear more about her Leo journey, her proudest moments, and advice for anyone thinking about starting out.

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

After an injury, I hadn’t trained for about five months. I started looking for a new gym, and after some research (and a little social media stalking!) I decided to give Leo a try.

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

Leo keeps you on your toes with varied workouts, energetic coaches, and motivating members. The genuine enthusiasm from everyone makes you want to keep pushing yourself.

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

My biggest achievement has been unlocking some of the movements on the rig, like pull-ups and toes-to-bar, even if I can’t do them in my current state! My current goal is simply to get through pregnancy, but after that, I’d love to tackle another Hyrox.

Has Leo influenced your life outside of training?

Definitely. Wanting to progress in the gym has made me think a lot more about nutrition, and the coaches always have great advice.

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

I love cooking, and taking cooking lessons in other countries is always a highlight of my travels. When I’m not at Leo, I’m usually working, reading, or spending time with friends and family. My husband and I also love to travel, but that’s taken a back seat while we prepare for a very different kind of adventure!

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

My only advice would be to just jump in! The first class will have you hooked. It’s such a welcoming community, with so many different classes, so there’s something for everyone.

Merryn, thank you for inspiring us all with your consistency, positivity, and energy. We’re so proud to celebrate you this month!
