As we welcome the leaves changing and the crisper mornings, we can also welcome our new member to the Athlete of the Month club 💥Peter Merrick💥 

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.
