August Members of the Month

InnerFight: Sara Janahi

Consistency = Results, and Sara is living proof!

‍

Her dedication to showing up and putting in the work in our Mainline program is paying off with progress across all areas of her fitness. Always coachable, always bringing great energy, and always a pleasure to have in class. Her love for Redzone pushes her boundaries, and we can’t wait to see her stepping up and competing more in local events this year. Keep crushing it, Sara!

Youth: Tyler Mingay

Our youngest member, Tyler started personal training at the age of three and has shown remarkable progress over the past couple of years. He has worked hard to develop his physical literacy — jumping, climbing, body awareness—as well as to build strength and boost his curiosity and confidence. It has been incredible watching his growth over the last two years.

‍

And for a fun fact: Tyler was born on the very day we opened InnerFight Studio City five years ago!

Endurance: Neil Young

The race was Ironman Copenhagen.
‍

Anyone who has Ironman as a goal impresses me. It immediately tells you something about the type of athlete standing before you. The race itself is one thing — as you can see, 13 hours of racing — but what I admire most is the dedication: juggling the volume of swimming, cycling, and running required; adding in strength sessions, mobility work, and daily care; figuring out and experimenting with the nutrition puzzle to ensure optimal fuelling on race day, having tested and fine-tuned the numbers.
‍

Alongside all this, the real key is maintaining some sense of normality in family life — being a husband, a father, and going to work.
‍

It’s a complex puzzle that requires the athlete to be open, honest, vulnerable, and willing to ask questions of both their coach and themselves. It’s easy to compare your training to others preparing for the same event, to see how different it looks, and to doubt yourself. But it requires you to drown out the noise. It requires you to stay present in yourself.
‍

Neil has embraced this journey for the past six months. It hasn’t been an easy ride, but the outcome was a flawless race day.

Endurance - Ireland: Eimear Loughnane

Consistency isn’t easy. It takes discipline, patience, and the willingness to do the work even when it feels uncomfortable. Over the past four months, that’s exactly what Eimear has shown.
‍

Week after week, she’s shown up, put in the effort, and trusted the process. The results are clear: stronger form, faster pace, improved efficiency, and a new mindset when it comes to tackling challenges.
‍

Eimear, we’re proud to recognise you as our Member of the Month. You’ve earned it through hard work, openness to coaching, and the consistency that transforms potential into progress.

Endurance - New Zealand: Megan Raynor

Congratulations to Megan Raynor for being our MOTM for August.

‍

Megan has been on a mission to get back into running after breaking her foot last year and having pneumonia at the start of this year. Having mastered the marathon distance, she decided a bigger scarier challenge was on the cards, Race Tekapo 50k.

‍

Building back into training can be daunting post injury and sickness and requires a lot of patience, Meg has trusted the process and seen some huge progress because of it. She’s become a lover of the uphills, used strength training to become a powerhouse, and she’s learnt to fully trust herself as she full sends it on the downhills. Her primer race at the Mackenzie half was proof that she is a speedy gal on the trails!

‍

Self belief is a huge part of being successful in training and Meg has worked hard on this on top of being consistent in her training and listening to her body. We can’t wait to see you nail this new distance in a few weeks time in Tekapo, Meg.
