Congratulations to our April 2024 Athlete of the Month… Craig Calico!
Craig has been a constant in our gym community for going on 6 months now and has made quite the impact on those around him in that time. Craig brings such a bright, positive energy into the gym, he is often like a beam of light on a gloomy day! He arrives early, keeps a good attitude and always remains upbeat throughout the classes he attends which often brings up those around him. Craig works hard to maintain a consistent schedule and never makes excuses or gives up on himself. He is always pushing himself to be a better athlete and continues to make progress on a daily basis. We are so proud to coach Craig and be a part of his fitness journey! Go Craig!
