Behind the glitz and glamour of calisthenics lies Margaret Lewry, designing every costume, selecting every piece of music, choreographing every move and raising thousands of dollars.
Lewry has been a lifetime calisthenics enthusiast, beginning at the age of three and coaching for the last 25 years.
Her role of coach doubles as dressmaker, designer, music selector, visionary, choreographer, designer and manager to name a few.
What makes it even more extraordinary is that Lewry has managed to do this along with raising over $5000 for her team to compete at this year’s Jupiters Pan Pacific Masters Games.
“We did garage sales, sausage sizzles, Mexican nights and sourced sponsorship over the last two years to be here,” Lewry said.
Although her workload may seem unhuman, this super coach has been anticipating with excitement for the 2014 Pan Pacific Masters since leaving with bronze in 2012.
“It’s a really good team and for us its more about being together and getting away from the husbands!” Lewry jokes.
“We just have such a good time and it was one of the best experiences of our lives.”
Calisthenics wrapped up today with exceptional attendance and success.
The new scheme was born here and filagra this is not something that we would like to see. Caverta although better in some elements but not important for us.
