Bittersweet moment.
Yesterday the vinyl came off the wall.
The meaning behind this wall is a big part of why I got into the gym in the first place.
As a compulsive gambler, the gym played a huge role in helping me stop. And to this day, it still plays a massive part in my life, every single day.
Those three words represent the Gambler’s Addiction Prayer, and they’ve always held a lot of meaning for me.
You’ll still see those words represented in the gym elsewhere, so the meaning isn’t going anywhere — I just need the wall space for storage for now 🤣 (must be up there as BLK BOX best customer!)
Things change, spaces evolve, but some of the reasons you started never really leave you.
No matter what you’re going through or what your past has been — accept the things you cannot change, find the courage to change the things you can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Strength. Courage. Wisdom. 🖤

🏆 MEMBER OF THE MONTH — Luke Mac 🏆
Here are Luke’s 3 Biggest achievement since joining One 2 One Gym
My 3 biggest achievements have definitely been the difference I’ve seen in myself and my performance, in the gym and in the ring.
The next has been the time I’ve spent in the gym so far, the people I’ve met, and the training — everything is quality and I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Then finally, my last achievement would be FINALLY collecting Member of the Month, after a good few years of waiting. I finally got it 🤣🤣”

**A special one for me as a coach.**
I started with Luke at 12 years old — he’s now 18. This picture is from his party.
It’s been an incredibly rewarding journey taking him from pre-adolescence right through every stage, watching him progress through his sport (boxing), and develop his physical and personal qualities along the way.
An absolute dream to work with. Attitude top class. Never complains. Whatever I plan out gets done, consistently, week after week. The exact attributes required if you want to become a champion — and that’s the goal.
He said it on day one. I have no doubt it will happen. 🥊
Well deserved Champ
