🌟 MEET THE TEAM 🌟

Say hello to Gee 👋

😊 Role:
Duty Officer

❤️ Favourite Thing About Working Here:
"The community spirit and the fact that customers are always happy to be here." 💙

☕ Fuelled By:
Apple & Guava RAW Energy drinks and, since starting his fitness journey, plenty of oats! 💪🥣

🎬 Fun Fact:
Gee's actual name is Ethan Hunt, and he was named after Tom Cruise's famous Mission: Impossible character... despite never having watched any of the films! 😆

💬 Most Asked Question:
"Do you have a sleeping bag here? You're always here!" 😂

🏃‍♂️ Favourite Way to Stay Active:
"I've recently fallen in love with the gym and Boxercise. I also enjoy a game of Pickleball." 🥊🏋️‍♂️🏓

💙 Something Members Might Not Know About Me:
"I won a bronze medal in gymnastics as part of my Year 3 Dorset team!" 🥉🤸‍♂️

💬 A Message from Gee:
"I look after many of the regular bookings at Ashdown, and nothing gives me more enjoyment than seeing a grassroots club start here and grow into something really successful. I've also been on my own fitness journey over the last year, so I understand how difficult it can be to take those first steps. If you need help with either, just give me a shout!"

👏 A Comment from the Manager:
"So, if you ever hear me call him Ethan, he's normally forgotten to do the thing that I definitely haven't already reminded him about! 😄 In all seriousness, Gee is an excellent member of the Ashdown team and a familiar face around the centre. He manages approximately 70 regular bookings every week and does so with professionalism, efficiency, and a smile. His commitment to our clubs, customers, and community groups helps keep Ashdown thriving. Thank you for everything you do, Gee!"
