What brought you to enduraLAB?
My former co-worker Zach Jackson mentioned the gym and told me how amazing it had been for him over the past couple of years. I was looking for a change and decided to give it a try. I signed up after my first class!
What did your workout routine look like before joining the LAB?
I was on and off at some of the big-name gyms. However, I lacked consistency and a routine over the past couple of years.
What healthy changes have you made since joining the LAB?
I’ve made so many changes since I started working out at enduraLAB. For me, having a consistent workout plan has been vital. Working out daily has made me more conscious of what I eat, and I’ve been more focused.
Tell us what you do outside of the LAB?
Outside the LAB, I’m a software engineer and spend a lot of my time coding. I’ve also been working on my MBA for about a year now. Aside from work and school, traveling and visiting new places is one of my favorite things. And I’m a techie and gamer as well.
How have you grown as an athlete since joining the LAB? Brag a little.
I’ve been going to the gym daily for about 4 months now and I've made substantial progress. Over the course of the last 4 months, I’ve lost a little over 50 lbs! I feel so much better mentally and physically and look forward to what the next 6 months will bring.
What is a goal you have set for yourself in the next 6 months?
I see myself being able to hit my target weight in the next 6 months, and I’d like to be able to knock out a few pull-ups :)
What is your favorite enduraLAB event or program?
Strength and conditioning is my favorite, but I’m definitely looking forward to the Murph!
