| Trudi - LA Fitness Derby |
Trudi is a familiar face at any X Training Challenge and this is one of the reasons she receives her nomination. Training out of LA Fitness Derby, Trudi receives the customary remarks of interest about what she does from the trainers and members ,but receives little support from the gym management - odd when you think how incredibly gym fit she is and what she has achieved.

| Who is your biggest supporter? |
| My mother helps me train - she trains with me and also protects equipment for any upcoming events I take part in so I can get that all important fluent transition without having to wait or queue up. Not only that but my Mum also trains with me, holds my feet for the sit ups and can lift also as much as me. She is also the first to tell me when my form isn't good and sense when I am not giving 100% |
|
| Who else? |
My husband Lance - who also competes and also Kirk Gibbons who is a major inspiration to me. I attend his circuit sessions, which are the best and hardest circuits ever!

|
| How else do you train? |
| A twelve mile run every Sunday with my husband Lance and some of the classes - Body Pump, Body Combat, and Body Balance all for variety. |
|
| How often do you X Train |
| I try to set up & run through the competition courses twice a week, usually about 7am before the gym gets too busy, and once a week I work on sections of the course to try & improve my weaknesses |

|
| What would you like to see in future X Training events |
| More women compete. I don't know why they don't. It's a great sport and hugely rewarding when you finish any of the challenges on the circuit today. |

| From WGC |
Good luck Trudi in any event that you enter and congratulations on your nomination, it is thoroughly deserved.
If LA Fitness do not recognise all that you have achieved in this year, for your dedication to training then WGC does and says again well done.
Ironically LA Fitness Maidstone was asked to take part in a challenge in June for their members - guess what they said - we run our own challenges thankyou. Really ? Any of your members as good as Trudi? |
