“From the first class the coaches Dan, Patch and Meg recognised how little I knew and worked with me to build my confidence and strength. They were great at knowing when to push and when I needed to go at a slower pace. I’m still not the biggest guy in the gym, or the strongest and never will be. But I’m a great role model at home for my kids and at work for my team and it feels good to know I can keep up with my 10 and 8 year olds for a while yet or take on whatever physical challenge comes up – Spartan Race, Bay Games, Bobbin head cycle classic, daily push up challenge, CrossFit Open – whatever it is these days I am up for it. You should be really proud of all you’ve achieved.” – Nigel Essex
