Client of The Month: August 2024

Coaches Pick (no voting)

The Winner: MATT MICHAELs

Matt has been chosen unanimously to win client of the month for August 2024 after his narrow loss for client of the month in July (1 vote) and his narrow loss in the 2024 Become Better Fitness Olympics (25 Points). Matt has been at the gym with us for just over 2 years now after his daughter Cari, convinced him to join. Since then he has also recruited his wife, Jen Michaels (Client of the month winner from June 2024 and 3rd place finisher in the Olympics), to join the gym and has been one of our most dedicated clients. We have nominated him for this award twice already, but he went up against some tough competition and was unable to pull out the victory. Since we could easily justify nominating him any/every month we decided to skip the voting this time.

Matt finished second (1st for guys) in the Become Better Fitness Olympics this past summer, with the smallest loss possible of only 25 Points to previous client of the month winner of April 2024, Alex Sepcic. He also was the most competitive against the coaches this year. He beat Coach Dan in 5 out of the 10 events (Bench, Row, 2 mile, BW Squat, chin-up hold) and he beat Coach Anthony and Coach Joey in every event except the sprint and only Coach Anthony in the 6 inches event.

Here are his full results of each event.

Won Bench, BBB, Seated Row, Dart Game - First time someone won 4 events
2nd in chin-up hold and 6 inches - losing at the last hour
3rd in BW Squat
6th in 2 mile
8th in Jerk
18th in Sprint
Missed only 25 points of participation - Sled

Since being at the gym, he has also set many PR’s in nearly all exercises. He has also taken the time to continue to learn the Olympic lifts. Matt brings a great attitude to the gym. He’s always working hard and helping others do the same. He enjoys the friendly competition for the extra push that helps him and others Become Better.
