Congratulations Lizzy Gray.

Meet Lizzy!

Lizzy is our Surfit Member of the Month for September. She is one of the most motivated and friendliest members we have at Surfit. Recently, we sat down with Lizzy to give you a bit of an insight into Lizzy’s fitness journey with us at Surfit.

1. What inspired you to begin your fitness journey?

I was inspired to begin my fitness journey to better my life. My job is physical, so I like to be “kitchen fit”. Also, when I’m an old lady, I’d like to be able to pick things up off the ground. That’s important.

2. How long have you been a member at Surfit?

I’ve been a member of Surfit since I moved to Lennox Head from Melbourne roughly seven years ago.

3. Can you share a specific achievement or milestone since joining Surfit?

Last year, I completed the Gold Coast Half Marathon. It was a bit of a shuffle, but I got there eventually. My goal wasn’t a PB or anything like that. I just wanted to participate and complete the challenge.

4. What motivates you to stay committed to your fitness goals? And, how do you overcome adversity?

I try to look for motivating things. At the moment, it’s the Paralympics. We see these athletes doing wonderful things and I ask myself what am I doing? Sitting at home on the couch! This is why I have signed up to complete Hyrox in Melbourne. I recently participated in Hyrox Sydney in a Surfit team – so, that’s why I’m going again. I’m doing it for all of the middle-aged spinsters out there (giggles).

5. Are there any particular trainers, classes or gym ammenities that you find especially beneficial?

All of the trainers are fabulous. They’ve all got lots of knowledge and wisdom in their particular training fields. I feel they all compliment each other. I especially love boxing – because I love to punch things (jokes) and it’s really great to release all of that built up aggression.

6. How has your experience at Surfit impacted other areas of your life such as your overall fitness and personal goals?

I really love the different training that I am able to do at Surfit. It really helps me with my goals and interests. For example, last year I walked the Camino… so, I trained on the treadmill in my backpack so that I was ready for the trek ahead. All of the support from the staff and other members really makes working out at Surfit that more enjoyable.
