Client of the Month Januarty 2025
The Winner:
Lily Silvis:
Lily is now 15 years old and started coming to us just under a year ago with little to no experience. She is currently using the training to get ready for her upcoming track season. Training definitely wasn’t something she super enjoyed when she started. Many times she would not give it her all, get distracted easily, and complain about her workouts. However, she is being nominated for client of the month for January because over the last several months she has flipped 180 degrees. I haven’t seen any instance where she wasn’t working hard or cutting corners. She hasn’t been overly distracted and gets her work done. Even when she has said she is tired from her track training or other activities before coming in she still puts out the needed effort to get through her workout to Become Better.
Overall in the gym Lily has also made a lot of progress. Most notably she has improved her ROM and general body positions/technique in things like Squats, RDLs, and deadlifts. She has increased her TB Deadlift from around 35k all the way to 60k. She was unable to bench the bar when she started and now can do the bar with some little weights added to it.
Lily turned 15 a couple of days ago and her track season will start shortly after. I hope her recent hard work pays off and she has a great season!
The other Nominees:
Giada Micucci
Giada has just hit the 1 year mark training with us at Become Better. Giada started with us as a is a multi athlete middle school student who’s primary sport is with the ski team where she travels all over for competitions. Giada has also recently taking a liking for volleyball. Ever since she stepped foot in to the gym, Giada has always been ready to put in the work! Giada is willing to do every exercise and wants to learn how to execute it to the best of her ability. For the longest time, she was training just once a week with her busy schedule with school and sports making progress along the way but has switched to working out with us twice a week and has seen even more progress. At her young age, Giada was able to easily deadlift over 200lbs for multiple reps and perform a pull up.
Giada has been an incredibly hard worker with her training, her ski training, school work and most recently the volleyball she has wanted to learn. She has the potential to achieve any goal she has with how willing she is to put in the work on a daily basis! If you see her in the gym, make sure you wish her luck in her upcoming ski events through the winter season!
Liz Anderson:
Liz has been a client for 6 years now. She always has a positive attitude and is always willing to try new things and participate in events and challenges even though she doesn’t expect to win or even place in many of them. In January however, she won her first event during our winter Olympics! The event was the Ski and Dart Biathalon where she threw a clutch 240 points with the darts to help her pass the former Olympic champion, Alex Sepcic. She also placed 3rd place in the bear crawl sled event losing to only Coach Morgan and Alex Sepcic. This performance also put her team into first place for the Winter Olympics. This was all done after she just got over being sick as well. We unfortunately do not have all of her old workouts and sheets because when she started they were all on paper (which Coach Dan recently got rid of), but I know she would agree that her strength and conditioning has vastly improved since starting at Become Better. Her husband Jacob also joined a few years ago and we are very thankful for both of them to be a part of our gym community.
