August 2010’s Member of the Month goes to John Duffy! John has maintained great attendance throughout the summer, continues to progress his skill sets, and is rountinely completing workouts with performances that are inspiring to the younger guys/gals. It’s also important to mention that John’s commitment to a healthly, and busy, lifestyle outside of his work with us have led to over 30 pounds of fat loss! We’re privileged to work with such a great guy, and we look forward to what the future brings for this dedicated student!

- In John’s own words: “I am addicted to my workouts and hate to miss. I have always worked out hard, but now hard and smart, with a purpose and noticeable improvement. It reminds me a lot of my college wrestling days. I talk about Crossfit and Paleo so much, people are beginning to avoid me.”
