Thanks to all for your generous support!
Saturday night was amazing, such a great team atmosphere from all of team Oscar and the crowd at the venue, which was a sellout and packed to the rafters.
I was lucky enough to take out the win against Cameron, who tested me to my limit. I've posted a couple photos here too, thanks again to all of you!!
Nice work Gary and well done on the win. Champiooooooon x
It's been a while. But the 8-week challenge is back, and we are training again. More to follow...but right now please do me a favour? Can you please share the links, all donations for this great cause welcome.
Hi everyone, we are underway again tomorrow with the start of the 8 weeks of training before the big event on either July 1 or 2!
Thank you so much for your support and we cannot wait to get going again after continued lockdowns have postponed us since this time last year! Bring it on.
Hi all, time for another update.
I've attached a picture of the sunset taken from my car last night - that's about as close as I get to driving these days as we remain locked down.
But good news - we are planning (as long as covid plays along) to start fight camp training on the 1st November in the gym, and the fight night is locked in for Saturday 11th December.
In the meantime I am keeping active, walking a lot and trying to fit in garage training sessions among the zoom meetings that dominate our life now.
See you all soon.
Well, like you all, the Fit to Fight team has been locked down too. Our first thought was to keep training full-on, that the lockdown wouldn't cause any delays or issues...but not to be. It pretty quickly has become apparent that on the date of our fight night, we would still have restrictions on crowd numbers...meaning we couldn't all fit in one place.
So we have had to acknowledge that a new date will be required. We will advise that once Auckland is down at a level that will allow you all there to watch me (us) take on our challenges.
In the meantime, to ensure we dont all burn out, we've moved into a holding pattern of training. Lots of shadow-boxing, and plenty of cardio work. And burpees. Oh so many burpees. And all from our garages.
I will update again soon team. In the meantime...off to the garage. Thanks again to you all.
Well we are all locked down. But we are continuing to train. There may well be a delay in the fight night event...details soon.
But we are doing plenty of cardio training and shadow boxing. Just no one to hit!!
In the meantime, good to see my cause has made it to the top...thanks for the support PM.
The Fit to Fight team - specifically Team Oscar - has settled into their work now, the early mornings are great and we are all loving it. The team's fitness level is increasing, and we are now starting to throw some punches around. It's become the norm to talk to each other with our mouth guards in and I'm pretty sure no one can understand what anyone is saying...just nod and grimace team.
A couple of people have been a wee bit late to training, and that never goes unnoticed - you get to wear a very special outfit if you are late!
Thanks for all of the donations to my charity and others, all really appreciated. I owe you one.
