Members of the Month (November)

InnerFight: HOUDA TABBAL

Real change is not just numbers. It's way bigger than that. To get that change is hard, it demands consistency on the days when you feel zero motivation. What Houda has done of the last 15 months is inspiring on many levels. Congrats, keep smashing life!

Youth: LUKE PARKINSON

As a member of our Teens program, Luke is a great example of what it means to be dedicated and hardworking. He is consistent with his training and always striving to improve. He has made incredible progress in strength and fitness over the last few months. We are proud of his dedication and excited to see his future progress.

Endurance: TAKO DVALI

Her Coach Rob Jones says, "Consistency, positivity, and open-mindedness are 3 words that just pop up when I think about Tako Dvali.

In the last 6 months, she has seen phenomenal progress in her running. Her form, technique, paces and stamina have all been taken to the stratosphere!

This progress was highlighted in November with a solo organized 50km run around Al Qudra desert….in the dark.

She listens, takes feedback and implements. She is a very deserving Member of the Month!"

Ladies Run Club: ASHLEY SZAR

Ashley ticked off yet another Half Marathon this month, in her quest to complete 1 a month. November saw her race at the Nakheel Palm Run and show no weakness in the heat.

We are very proud of your accomplishments each month, Ashley!

Endurance - Ireland: JOYCE BARTLEY

Joyce has been one of InnerFight Ireland's longest-standing clients. She truly understands what it means to play the long game. Time and time again Joyce demonstrates what it takes to set aside work and patiently wait for the results. This month, Joyce has been reaping in the benefits, achieving personal bests in training runs! The value Joyce has gained from these experiences fuels her discipline. There is no bragging; it's pure results from hard work and dedication. Joyce we want to highlight you because of your epic determination and dedication to your training. Never change!

Endurance - New Zealand: NICKY FRANKS

Here are a few words from coach Zoe about why she has earned this...

"With a positive attitude & a detailed plan, Nicky, nails her training sessions week by week, month by month. She loves to know how to train specifically to achieve her goals.

Being involved in the process of planning her training and sorting out her extra workouts around our community sessions has meant that Nicky has had structure and success in adding speed and distance over the last few months. Having to pivot this month and be flexible in her training due to injury and sickness meant that Nicky went into her last event, The Taniwha, with determination - to prove that it’s about mind over matter. She showed that race who’s boss, completing her first marathon successfully in the trails. Bring on Tarawera Ultra 50km in February!

Our community loves your bubbly personality and will power Nicky! We are stoked to be supporting you as you smash your goals!"
