Davo, Glassy, or as most know him, THE GLASSMAN! This legend sent us a message one Friday afternoon about checking out the gym and within the same hour he had already met most of the Coal Coast Team and was well and truly ripping into his first group session! What happened next is a testament to the type of person The Glassman is! Each day since joining the Coal Coast Fitness Family Davo has gone from strength to strength, dramatically improving his movement quality, gaining strength and improving his overall fitness as well as kicking some niggling injuries he once had to the curb! He is all over his health and fitness and has continued to smash his training online! This silver fox still loves his Friday arvo session even if it has been on Zoom for now! He's an inspiration to all Coal Coasters, always rocking a smile and up for a laugh while being an awesome role model to his family by taking charge of his health! Davo is an incredibly generous human and is always helping the Coal Coast Family out any chance he has! We are so lucky and proud to have him in our group. We caught up with The Glassman to see how things are going during his time in lockdown away from the gym... What’s life been like for The Glassman in isolation since COVID-19 hit? I am lucky I work in the construction industry which was deemed as an essential service via the federal government. Nothing has changed for me on that part (I was lucky I could still earn $$$ and leave home 5 days a week), but homelife definitely had an effect. My partner's employer temporarily shutdown, homeschooling had to occur for my son. No physical contact with family outside of home. So definitely a bit of adjustment required and revaluating what is important in life. Also we're lucky we live where we do I could also hit the beach for a surf when needed or get outside and do some physical activities.
How did you get started with us at CCF and what’s the journey been like so far?
I was a member of fitness first for 6 months leading up to joining CCF and it wasn't doing much for me + I had an injury from playing soccer and hadn't been exercising. I had a pop-up CCF ad show on my Instagram feed late on a Friday afternoon and thought where is this CCF gym, I had never heard of CCF before, so straight away I messaged them and by 5pm later that afternoon I was doing my first session.
The journey has been awesome, I can't thank the CCF team enough on what they have given and showed me, the welcoming I received from the first day I turned up until now and the always positive life is good attitude is fantastic. I'm always telling people of how well run this place is.
If there was a movie about your life what would it be called and who would star as you?
I am always up for a laugh and like comedy movies, so maybe Bradley Cooper could reprise his role and star in The Hangover Part IV: Collision Course in the Coal Coast!
You’re Mr Consistent and have been killing it since you’ve started training with us! What’s your secret?
I'm not too sure if I'm killing it, I just really enjoy doing these sessions, I wrote down on the CCF whiteboard a few months ago about being consistent and want to ensure I can do that (not just a bunch of words) + there is always a different element and variety of classes available and the CCF Rig is minutes from home which is an added bonus.
How are you finding the online program and what’s it been like training at home?
At first it was hard to do the online classes especially being at home and doing these sessions solo (apart from who's on zoom) and not having access to all of the CCF equipment range, I just keep telling myself I can do them and staying motivated + CCF were generous enough to lend out various pieces of equipment and Facebook online forums, post's and setting goals via the CCF app and seeing what everyone else is doing helps you push yourself.
What’s your favourite thing about CCF?
EVERYTHING! The positive energy that comes from within CCF is fantastic, a great vibe within the group, meeting new people with similar interests and similar goals. I can't fault it.
Your a true legend of Coal Coast Fitness Glassman and we couldn't be prouder of you! Keep on killing it like you are, we can't wait to see you ripping in back at the gym very soon!
