Our March Member of the Month is Ray!
I’ll tell you a little secret. Rose nominated Ray since she has seen how hard he is working in the gym and at home. Ray has been focused on gaining muscle and it is really showing. He has also been practicing the olympic lifts and double unders at home. Rose sent us the photo proof!
Here is a little more about Ray:
“My wife, Rose, started CrossFit training a year prior to me. Seeing her dedication and progress within that year made me want to give it a try. My mindset was “if she can do it, then so can I.” I was immediately humbled.
My main motivation became rising to the challenge. The challenge of getting stronger. The challenge of being able to hit complex movements. The challenge to endure to the very end. And to show my sons that your true competition is the you of yesterday.
My favorite movement, without a doubt, is the bar muscle-up. My least favorite: burpees.
My favorite protein is fish; specifically salmon.
Outside the gym, I homeschool my sons, make music, and do a bit of coding. The boys are fixated on video games at the moment, so we’re focusing on game development.
I know I’m rather quiet and a bit reserved, but I want the members to know that watching and training alongside them gives me the push to be better. I might not have said it aloud, but rest assured that you all also motivate me.”
Ray, thank you for being an awesome person!
