This Saturday on February 26, you have the chance to become a part of the growing Gorilaphant family at Moredun Street Beach Reserve, Tennyson for a Beach Work Out of the Day (WOD).

As the second Beach WOD they have organised they have established how to make the most of the workout. You can expect a good laugh and some friendly competition to ensue, with any defeats to be soothed by a good ol’ dose of caffeine.

Gorilaphant is not just another fitness group in Adelaide’s growing portfolio. It’s CrossFit style of training focuses on helping individuals to build mental and physical resilience, and supporting strong women.

Scott Pope and Cass Neale’s program is about community and empowering people from all walks of life, whatever self-perceived or physical limitations you have.

So, do not be intimidated!

“The WOD is designed to welcome all fitness levels, with the more advanced athletes to be paired with beginners, helping to encourage them,” Cass explained.

Cass said there is room for all, and it doesn’t matter if you’ve never run in your life, you’ll be welcomed with open arms by everyone.

There is no equipment needed for this workout, like the last it will be body weight movements. But expect to get a little wet and dirty, and to be pushed to try something outside of your comfort zone.

If the previous beach WOD is anything to go off, this one is bound to be a cracker!

With no established fitness level required to take part in the action, Scott and Cass describe the day as an opportunity for a “good laugh and the chance to connect with new people”.

There is no payment required to join in on the WOD, this is a free event.

The only supplies necessary are a fully stocked comeback cache, maybe some battle armour, and an upbeat attitude.

Both coaches embrace the opportunity to be involved in the betterment of individuals’ health and wellbeing.

Their optimistic and encouraging belief in everyone’s untapped potential has shaped a supportive and encouraging environment, putting all at ease instantly.
