🏆 CHAMPION OF THE MONTH — SHERRY! 🏆

Sherry has officially been part of the Muscle Lab family for a year, and her progress has been awesome to watch!

When she started, mobility restrictions, weaknesses and shoulder pain meant she often had to modify exercises while others around her could do more.

Instead of comparing herself, she stayed focused on her journey and kept showing up.

One year later, she’s stronger, more mobile, pain-free in her shoulder, more toned, and now lifting some of the same weights — and sometimes MORE — than those around her! 💪

Beyond her progress, Sherry is consistent, hardworking and always friendly to everyone in the gym.

That’s what Champion of the Month is all about.

Congratulations, Sherry! You earned it! 🏆💪

Finally getting a chance to make this post, but I couldn’t let the weekend go by without giving a HUGE shoutout to these three amazing ladies! 💪🔥

Different ages, different goals, different journeys — but all three showed what strength is really about Saturday.

First up, Mary!

The first video is Mary hitting a BIG deadlift PR. She didn’t want to know what was on the bar and thought it was about 20 pounds lighter… until she heard them announce the weight. 😂

Her eyes got HUGE and she gave me the, “You want me to lift WHAT?!” look.

I told her, “You can do it.”

She pushed the doubt aside and RIPPED it off the floor, finishing the day with a 657.8 lb PR total! 💪

Next up, Amy!

Powerlifting hasn’t even been her main focus lately. She’s been training for a big running race and putting in some 20-mile days, but she jumped into this meet to compete and have some fun.

Then she showed exactly why we keep strength training while chasing other goals — grinding through this bench and refusing to quit. 💪

And last, Jody!

At 66 years old, Jody competed in her FIRST powerlifting meet and hit personal-best weights on every lift!

This bench was also her first time EVER benching over 100 pounds. 🙌

There was a point where that bar almost stopped, but Jody had ZERO quit in her. She kept fighting until she finished the lift.

That’s the kind of strength I love seeing.

Believing in yourself when you’re unsure.
Trying something completely new at 66.
And refusing to quit when things get hard.

Mary, Amy and Jody ,you ladies crushed it Saturday, and I’m incredibly proud to have you representing Reed’s Muscle Lab!

Strong looks different on everyone and you three showed exactly what it looks like.

Also huge shoutout to Rachel, Becky and Jenn for coming out to support them!

“You inspire me in so many ways and saved me in more ways than you will ever know.”

Those were Mary’s words in a post she shared yesterday about her first year at Reed’s Muscle Lab. Reading her story really hit me.

A year ago, Mary walked through our doors during a difficult chapter of her life, looking for a place to rebuild, get stronger and find her footing again. She describes Reed’s Muscle Lab as a place where “the quality and integrity of the training and the strength and inclusivity of the community” have helped keep and sustain her.

That means a lot to me because Reed’s Muscle Lab has never just been about getting people through a workout. I wanted to build a place where people could come exactly as they are, be challenged and supported, become stronger and healthier, and hopefully find some really good people to do life with along the way.

Mary described us as “a family that celebrates each other, builds each other up, challenges each other and has so much fun together.”

I don’t think I could describe what I want this place to be any better than that.

Mary, thank you for trusting us and allowing us to be part of your journey. We’re grateful you walked through our doors a year ago, and even more grateful that you’ve become such an important part of this family.

And in Mary’s own words:

“One year later and I am stronger than ever in All The Ways.” 💪❤️

CLIENT SPOTLIGHT 👏🎙️

One year ago, Jody walked through our doors looking to rebuild her strength after battling breast cancer and learning she had early osteopenia.

Today, at 66 years old, she’s preparing to compete in her very first powerlifting meet.

This isn’t just a story about lifting weights. It’s a story about courage, resilience, hope, and refusing to let life define your future.

You are never too old.
You are never too weak.
You are never too late.

We’re incredibly proud of you, Jody. 💚💪

One of the highlights from our One Year Anniversary Bash! 🎉

As part of the celebration, we gave away 6 months of personal training to one lucky winner.

Congratulations to Rachel Yoder! 👏

If you know Rachel, you know she’s one of the most selfless, kind, and giving people you’ll ever meet. She’s constantly encouraging others, showing up with a positive attitude, and putting everyone else before herself. When her name was drawn, we couldn’t have been happier. It truly felt like the right person received this gift.

Rachel, thank you for being such an important part of the Muscle Lab family. We can’t wait to be alongside you for the next six months as you continue getting stronger, healthier, and more confident. 💚

Congratulations again! We are so excited for you!

Nothing builds strength like dragging your partner… literally. 🛷😂💚

But the best part? Having someone beside you who pushes you to keep going when it gets hard. We all go farther together! 💪🔥

July CHAMPION of the Month! 🔥💚💪

Congratulations to Jennifer! We absolutely love having you as part of the Muscle Lab family. Your hard work, consistency, and dedication continue to pay off, and we’re so proud of everything you’ve accomplished! 🏋️‍♀️👏

Jen has been training with us for a couple of years now, and one thing you can always count on is her showing up. Week after week, she puts in the work, challenges herself with heavier weights, and never backs down from the tough workouts we throw at our members.

But what really makes Jen special is the person she is. She’s one of the friendliest and most supportive members in our community. She’s always encouraging others, celebrating their wins, and making everyone around her feel welcome.

If you’re looking for someone who will inspire you, cheer you on, and make your workouts even more enjoyable, Jen is that person!

Congratulations, Jennifer! Thank you for being such an amazing part of our Muscle Lab family. Keep crushing it, we can’t wait to see what you accomplish next!

A little video of today…more to come but I wanted to hop on here to say Thank you. 🙏🏻

To every one of our members, past and present, thank you. To everyone who came out to celebrate and support us, and to everyone who helped make today such a fun and special day, we are incredibly grateful.

A special thank you to Missions Cafe for always being such a supportive neighbor!

And thank you to my amazing staff and my wife. Without them, this place truly wouldn’t be what it is today.

One year ago, we opened our doors with a vision to build more than a gym,we wanted to build a community. Not just a place where people could get stronger and healthier, but a place where real friendships could form, people genuinely support one another, and everyone truly loves being a part of it.

Looking back at this past year, it’s amazing to see that vision come to life.

To every member who has walked through our doors, trusted us with your fitness journey, showed up on the hard days, celebrated the wins, and become part of this family, thank you. You are the reason we’re here.

This is just the beginning. Here’s to another year of hard work, growth, and helping even more people become the strongest version of themselves.

Thank you for believing in us. We can’t wait to see what the next year brings.

ThankYou KeepShowingUp
