MAD LEGENDARY ALERT 🚨🚨🚨
We had a legend do bootcamp from the very start and her name was Libby. She trained back in the day when every one did 5 sessions a week and doing 3 was crazy and not enough. She smashed out 1313 sessions in her time and even though she doesn’t train with the MAD family anymore, she will always be a legendary MADer.
Well the record has been broken by the godfather of MAD Bootcamp. Simon Vander Kruik hit the number a couple of weeks ago and I’m here to celebrate him.
Simon turned up to the first ever PM Bootcamp session and decided to skip the second one to go on his home treadmill
(pic 👆🏻).
Simon is a weirdo but we love weird here at the MAD family. He is always getting everyone fired up for sessions and challenges and just in life in general. Our weekly dinner/bootcamp chats keep me sane, even though he keeps me on my toes and annoys me a lot. The fact that he always checks in with everything going on shows me he’s a good friend.
And how could we forget the end of session knuckles to everyone, every time. I even get one occasionally. Thank you for always being you, for always choosing MAD PT and for making this Bootcamp as good as it is. It wouldn’t be the same with out you.
Heres to 2000? 🤔🤔
