The Commando's Coffs Harbour Challenge

Wow! What a day! For the 32 people who participated in this awesome session - well done to you all.

The crew that travelled from North and South to be a part of this great challenge - we hope you took home with you the energy that was put in to the session and managed to drive home still as pumped as you were when the session finished (although covered in sand)!

I was extremely proud of you all and thank my trainer, Jenna, for helping out on the day to keep you all motivated, get stuck into it herself and be inspired by one amazing man.

The cuts, bruises and grazes we suffered as part of the 2 hours was, I'm sure you will agree, well worth it!

From a very nervous, quiet group at the start to hearing you join in my 'Commando Song' as we headed up to the beach to complete the session full of energy, enthusiasm and sheer determination is what gives me goosebumps as a trainer.

You were challenged physically and mentally, but your attitude is what got you through. Your team spirit and positivity is what came through and you were a great group of people and I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.

Commando Steve gave us all something to take away with us from that session.....what that is, is different for each and everyone of us. But whatever it is - use it. Use it to keep you motivated, keep you driven and keep you determined to set the different goals in your life and go and get them.

As we say at Collateral - "Get Infected With Life!" - and we are certain that from 11am-1pm on Saturday 14th August 2010 - we saw that amazing infection in all of you.

Until next time - train hard, train smart, live life!

What an absolutely awesome life changing experience that was. Thank you so much Coll for bringing him here as we would never have had the opportunity otherwise. I feel so priveleged to be part of Saturday It was a personal, mental and physical challenge and I am so proud of myself for achieving that. Its amazing that a short 2 hour session can make you feel less self absorbed and more aware of the others training aruond you.It was an extra bonus that he had dreamy blue eyes, nice biceps and was just a great guy as well. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole 5 hours spent in his company as well as yours. You were both an inspiration and something that goes down as a very special day for me !!! Pandy XX

I'm still buzzing on the positive energy from Saturday's session. It reinforced to each of us that psychologically we can attempt something new, can keep going even when it's tough and achieve whatever goal we set. It also reminded us that a little bit of discomfort (physical & mental) means we are stretching outside our comfort zones. Everyone inspired & motivated each other. Just look at the smiles at the end of the session - proof of being infected by life! Thankyou for the experience! Sign me up for next year!!
