Our September athlete of the month is Dustin Barnes! You may catch him in the morning class or maybe the afternoons. If he comes on Saturday, he better have the baby or the girls are upset with him!🤪😂 to get to know him better, read below:
Name: Dustin Barnes
Age: 41 (on September 8)
Hometown: Jonesboro, Louisiana
Occupation: Communications Coordinator for the North Little Rock School District
Family/pets/kids: Wife, LeCole; two sons, Jakaiyah and Jeremiah
Hobbies: traveling, reading, outdoor activities (kayaking, hiking, etc.), and working out with my CrossFit family
Member since: July 2024
Fitness/ athletic background before joining Omnis: I worked out at Omnis West and West Little Rock CrossFit. I really thank them for the foundation they provided for me. Before that, I would join local gyms but I didn't push myself like CrossFit does.
What's something about you we might not know: If a shirt has a year on it, it gets downgraded to pajamas or loungewear the moment that year ends. I don’t want to feel outdated.
Any special talents or surprising facts: I am a grammar nerd. If your subject and verb do not agree, I will notice.
What are you enjoying most about Omnis/functional fitness: You can do hard things! I never imagined myself doing the type of workouts that I do, and I love to look at videos to see how far I've come.
Favorite movement or workout: Power cleans, hang power cleans, and bench press. I don't usually miss those days!
What's your PR song or songs that get you the most hyped to workout: "Welcome to Atlanta" by Jermaine Dupri and Ludacris, "Wipe Me Down" Lil Boosie," "Blow Your Whistle" by Too Short, or "Big League" by Yo Gotti and Moneybagg Yo
