So a while back I posted a few Lol Gym N00b What Do I Do posts when I joined my gym.

I'm loving the gym, I go at least 4 days a week, sometimes more if the weather forces me inside for cardio.. I do their group-fitness classes too,without fail. But i don't talk to anyone, just the trainers.

Anyway, today I got a phone call from the manager - she was calling to tell me I'd been voted January's Member Of The Month!! :noway: I was STUNNED! I felt really chuffed :) Apparently this means my photo on the wall, and she did a short survey to put up there.

And when I went there, a couple of staff members who I don't often have much to do with came up and congratulated me. :) I was really excited, this is the first month they've done it too :D So good to be recognised for doing hard work - I'm not one of the skinny elliptical warriors, nor one of the super-buff guys in the weights rooms.. just a frumpy, overweight chick, in a pink top doing her thing.. with a bit of determination in her eyes. :)

    That is some awesome recognition!

    And probably motivation too! Well done :)

    Massive motivation, after getting off the phone I went and did the ABT class there, really pushed me along to do it harder :D

    That's great to hear, good for you! My gym doesn't have a "Member of the Month", but I'll never forget the one time my coach (who is normally a super critical, gruff angry guy) came up to me when I was doing burpees and told me, "Good for you, man. If there is a most improved guy here for conditioning, I think you're it." It's the most amazing feeling to be recognized for hard work. Congrats again, and keep it up!

    That's cool Lowliar! One of my group fitness trainers texted me half an hour after a session to compliment me on how hard I work, that was pretty cool. I love encouraging and acknowledging people!

    Good for you Nikki! :flowerforyou: It's always nice when someone recognizes your determination and spirit.

    Though not as great a compliment with recognition like yours, my gym had a Maintain Campaign throughout the holidays and last week awarded me 5 movie gift cards and a concession (like I really need movie treats!) gift card. All for losing 12+ lbs in December.

    Your accomplishment will be a great motivator for others at your gym. Congrats!

    That is uber-cool! Well done you! I reckon you should jot down a quick note for the suggestion box...

    Maybe 'Members of the Month' could win a workout top with "I made member of the month at xxx gym" printed on the back?

    The gym might go for having someone like you giving them free advertising when you're tearing up the pavement outside...

    they could even make them in...pink!

    Congrats to you!
