Kids achieving their goals!

During January and February the kids have been working very hard on setting and achieving goals. They are all showing dedication and commitment by turning up to class as much as possible. This is paying off for all of them as they continue to meet their goals, and then to move on to their next goal, which is fantastic.

Also, Sydney, one of our longest standing team members, is starting to workout out once per week in the adults Advanced Class. Well done Sydney. Those adults better watch out!

All of the coaches at Gravity Janes are really proud of the effort that the kids are putting in lately. Well done guys.

Keep working hard and earning those points - some of you are close to earning your rewards already!
