October 2021 Athlete of the Month

As we welcome the leaves changing and the crisper mornings, we can also welcome our new member to the Athlete of the Month club πŸ’₯Peter MerrickπŸ’₯ 

Peter has put in some hard work since his return and has made tons of progress. Just a few things to name off are his first rope (and more later that wod), first set of double unders, and recently his first toes-to-bar. Oh and wall walks! Oh, did we mention he also takes boxing classes a few days a week with Coach Clare at Boxing House International located right inside Tides!! We are eager to see what else we can add to the list for him.
