Member of the Month – August 2018

Member of the Month – August

Picking Levi for our member of the month was an absolute no-brainer! From the time he signed up he pretty much walked in and has never gone home!

What do you love about Elite and what are your favorite classes?

My favourite class is Muay Thai with Shawn, as I’m only new to the sport and easy pickings for my training partners, it has been awesome having someone teach the basic techniques then explaining the purpose of that drill… then correcting my slow and awkward movements before Dale destroys me with his lightning switch kick. To be honest, I’ve enjoyed all the classes, including HIIT, as it’s all new to me and I’m having a crack at everything.

You have also proven to of been one of our handiest members, doing several handyman/maintenance jobs around the gym. What do you do for work?

Paid work you ask? Jobs around the gym aren’t paying the mortgage, I’m actually a plumber by trade and work in the construction industry, Geelong is booming at the moment – there will be three twenty story buildings finished this time next year.

We have heard that you have had some pretty amazing results already. How much weight have you lost already?

Nearly 10kg in the 2 months since I started at Elite… but let’s be honest I had a big base to start with.

Do you have any future goals you’re working towards?  There’s been a few rumblings around the gym about some trek, and possibly, a fight in 2020?

I was planning on an exhibition fight with Mick O’Niel or Adam Backwell but I’ve progressed well past them already, so I’ll see what weight division I’ll end up in and go from there. I’m getting fit for a Kokoda Trek on Anzac Day next year – that’s the driving force.

Training for Kokoda? Wow, that’s impressive! What other training have you been doing for it? We just ask, because one of the treadmills was out of order for a week last week.

Yeah that was my favorite treadmill when I first started, my alto ego bigboydotcom gave it a fair pounding at the start.
