Congrats to our September Member of the Month, Raymond! 🎉
Get to know Raymond:
Which movement do you love, and which do you secretly dread?
I’m definitely more cardio oriented and love seeing box jumps or running in the workout, especially if I can beat Coach Josh (still waiting on that signed $5 to frame). I’d be happy if I never have to do another Bulgarian split squat again. They’re not necessary.
Favorite local restaurant or coffee shop:
I live off coffee 24/7 so the more caffeine the better. It’s down in North Park but Saigon Coffee is my favorite coffee shop. It’s the only coffee that makes me feel alive.
Bucket List Item:
Hoping to one day take an expedition cruise to Antarctica, maybe pet a penguin. Also helps check off my other bucket list item of visiting every continent.
What our coaches had to say about Raymond:
“Don’t let his initial “I’m not excited about this workout” face fool you. Raymond brings the heat to each class. It’s been a blast watching him apply himself and drastically improve these past several months. From gymnastics to Olympic lifts, progress on repeat. Keep up the great work Raymond!” - Coach Bobby
“Raymond has been absolutely crushing it lately! His consistency has really been paying off, especially in his lifting. He’s been putting in the work to dial in his technique and it shows! Raymond is always up for a challenge and brings such a great energy to class. And we can’t forget the time he beat Coach Josh in a running sprint and earned himself a well-deserved $5! 😉
We love having Raymond in class and can’t wait to see what PR (or coach) he takes down next!” - Coach Ali
