Become Better Sport Performance and Personal Training:
Client of The Month: February 2024
And the Winner is…
Emily Garcia!
Read Below for why she was nominated
Emily has become a great friend to myself and Nicole, but that’s not why she has been nominated this month. Emily was also originally an LA Fitness client starting in 2014. Although she has been in and out of the gym a couple times over 10 years, she and her husband Jorge have been very consistent for years now. In February, Emily has set new personal best lifts for 2 reps in the Bench Press (42 kg), Back Squat (75 kg), and 3 reps Deadlift (97 kg - 100 kg coming Sunday).
Emily is one of the most talkative clients we have at the gym. Sometimes this means her and others don’t finish their workout for quite some time, but it also means that when new clients come into the gym she is one of the first to welcome them and make them feel comfortable in the gym. Emily has also helped us a lot in the gym when we remodeled the facility and need little things done (although not as much as Jorge , so maybe I should nominate him instead…).
We are very thankful to have Emily apart of our gym!
The Nominees:
Marian Gregg
Marian has been one of the longest tenured clients with us at Become Better. Marian, who was previously referred by a of client of LA Fitness, joined with Become Better in 2014, making this year her 10th anniversary with us. Marian has participated in many forms of fitness and exercises such as group classes but has always stuck with us! She has never missed more than a week or so at one time outside of the shut Downs. Marian always enters the gym with enthusiasm, a big smile and ready to cheer on her fellow ladies who workout at the same time as her. Marian has recently found a love with lifting barbells and heavier weights than she has ever done before. These movements are important for bone density relating to osteopenia/osteoporosis, balance/stability and overall strength. This is not just important for her but for every single person as we age.
Lisa Ryan
Lisa is a relatively new client, but since joining she has been one of the most consistent and hardest working clients we've worked with. Despite having some shoulder and foot limitations she always wants to try things to see if she can do them. Instead of complaining about her discomfort and refusing to do certain exercises, she asks how we can adapt or slightly modify so that she can work through it and become better.
Lisa comes in 3 days a week and puts in 100 percent effort. The only thing that has kept her from missing any appointments so far have been some illnesses. Otherwise she's been a model of consistency. Lisa has gained a lot strength and improved body composition since joining, which are her two biggest goals.
Lisa loves to cook and loves to interior decorate. You can often find her cooking up a delicious meal for her son, or decorating and cleaning his house on the weekends. He sure is lucky to have such a good mom. She is also very friendly and pleasant with all the other members of the gym. She adds a great element to our facility!
