Nov Member of the Month: Andre

Andre caught the eye of many of the coaches for his hard work and consistency so that’s why he is our Member of the Month. He shows up during his lunch break, never checks the workout beforehand, and takes on whatever we throw at him with a smile. Even when workouts or movements are challenging, he listens to feedback, stays patient with himself, and keeps pushing forward.

His growth mindset and positive energy make him a joy to coach, and we've loved watching his progress.

Here's his story 👇

1. What originally brought you to BLN and what motivates you to stick with it?

At some point I got stuck at the shop window when we were at the Italian! What I saw there interested me so much that I immediately signed up for a trial training. I really hadn't been satisfied with my normal gym training for quite a while.

2. Do you have a favorite workout or favorite class? If so, why.

I find this question really difficult: every workout has its charm and is also well structured by the coaches. I've never experienced a bad class. I always use my lunch break for training, but I deliberately don't look at the workout beforehand and let myself be surprised every time. Not that I could get the idea to find arguments that I don't want to come after all.

3. Do you have a funny fitness fun fact or a funny experience that you've had here in the studio?

There is: in my stubbornness I once quit the Sweat House. But Lina didn't like that at all. I had the feeling that she would have done everything to make me continue, but back then it simply wasn't possible to convince me to keep going. Today I see it differently, it's really a mental thing and you're pretty proud of yourself afterwards. Today I push through!

4. How do you manage to integrate your training into your everyday life – do you have a special tip?

Don't overthink it much, pack the clothes and just go. The fun, the togetherness and especially the mutual support are guaranteed in the classes. I'm very happy to be constantly corrected too. Also, I've never left with a bad feeling, but was always very proud to have pulled through.

5. If you had to describe yourself in three words as a fitness member, what would they be?

Relaxed, helpful, always smiling (except when it gets tough or I get stubborn because it's too tough 🤭, but that happens less and less).

Congrats, Andre! We're proud to celebrate you as our Member of the Month. Your consistency, positive attitude, and willingness to push through the tough stuff inspire the whole BLN community.
