February Member Spotlight
What convinced you to try your first GVO class, and what would you say to men on the fence?
I would say “man up”! It’s an inclusive gym and going to yoga is just as manly as drinking whiskey! There’s a reason women live longer than men, so let’s follow their path!
What keeps you coming back, and what does being part of this community mean to you?
Working out in the morning has become my routine, and the variety of classes and times ensures there’s a mix of weight training, cardio and yoga that fits my needs.
How does movement, fitness, or self-care play a role in keeping your heart (and mindset) strong?
It wakes me up, calms my soul and gives me a kick start to my day!
Do you have a go-to class, instructor, or workout style that really gets your heart pumping?
You’ll usually find me in Vanessa’s classes, especially Yoga Blast. Marilyn’s Strength Pyramids is another must for me.
What’s one unexpected benefit you’ve gained from showing up consistently?
The consistent routine has helped me be more organized and calms my mind. And working out in the same room with others makes me try 10% harder! Love the accountability.
What’s one move or habit in class that people would immediately recognize as “so Mike”?
They will notice that I like to “camp out” (ask Heather 😊) and always have a pack of fruit snacks to get the blood sugar going!
