A big shoutout to Alex on his birthday for this week’s Member Spotlight!
Last year, while we were still turning the fire hall into our gym, Alex did a drive-by and stopped in to say hello. He’d heard on Facebook that a new gym was opening and wanted to see if it was real, or just another Creston rumour.
After just a few minutes of chatting, Alex offered to help us get set up, and he grabbed a membership the second pre-sales opened.
Yesterday, Alex hit 500 visits in one year!
We’ve got a few members hot on his heels, but Alex is a dedicated fitness enthusiast — you can tell by the arms. Honestly, I think Alex has hacked Iron Soul. He comes in for open gym, stays connected with what’s happening around him, and is always open to learning from the coaches and athletes around him.
The result? Muscle-ups, improved technique, new fitness goals, and most recently, Olympic lifting.
But we don’t just love Alex because he’s here all the time. We love Alex because he perfectly lives out Iron Soul’s COMMUNITY value. He talks with everyone, asks about our kids and friends, and hypes us up when we’ve had a hard day. The coaching goes both ways with this guy and we're stoked to see what he does next.
Happy Birthday, Alex!
