Athlete of the Month May 2011: Bill R.

WE’LL MISS YOU BILL!!

.

CF Jaguar salutes Bill Rodriquez as May’s Athlete of the Month. Bill came to us fairly strong and flexible but he hadn’t worked out for some time and “didn’t run”. Nine months later–he’s lost over 35 lbs, his endurance has shot through the roof, he runs circles around some of the younger CFr’s and he’s stronger than before. No matter what the challenge of the wod Bill refuses to quit and always finishes with a smile on his face as well as encourages the others to finish and has become quite the Team player. Bill has moved to Brandon and we wish him well in his new locale.

Bill, we hope you drop in as often as you can. You have come so far and we will dearly miss seeing you on a regular basis. I will especially miss our conversations. The best of luck as you continue on your fitness journey–you better stay in touch!!

Athlete of the Month April 2011: Victor A.

CF Jaguar salutes Victor Amuso as April’s Athlete of the Month. Victor has been with us a mere 4 months yet he has lost over 40 lbs, is one of our strongest/most powerful members, his endurance has shot through the roof and he won Most Stunning Transformation in our Look Good Naked Challenge. On a serious mission he took less than a week “off” and dove right into out Swimsuit Challenge with ramped up efforts as he is often seen midday for a second workout.

Victor does not know the meaning of the word “can’t”, would never quit, is consistent, disciplined, dedicated and full speed ahead with all his efforts. His nutritional intake is spot on, definitely part of the plan and passes with glowing colors even the strictest eyes (mine:)

This month we celebrate Victor, are most proud to have him as part of our family and we all could learn a thing or 2 from the examples he sets.

Athlete of the Month March 2011: Carla P.

I wouldn’t piss her off if I were you–she takes no prisoners. Carla is March’s Athlete of the Month. She has been with us over a year and has made remarkable gains in strength, flexibility, power, endurance and overall fitness. She is a leader in the classes and an exemplary role model. Carla gives her all, all the time with technique, full range of motion and counts every rep. She tolerates no negativity, encourages other participants and integrity is her middle name. We are proud to have Carla as part of our family and salute her as CF Jaguar’s athlete of the month!

Athlete of the Month February 2011: Kevin F.

Athlete of the Month: Kevin Fischer

I know, Kevin is a Coach here now and usually they are exempt from this honor but Kevin was first a client and his transformational efforts, consistency, dedication and accomplishments of the past 1 1/2 years cannot go unmentioned. I don’t think I have ever seen Kevin not give 110% effort to each and every workout; his form & technique, skill level, cardiovascular endurance, strength, speed, power etc. . .have continually improved since he stepped foot through these doors. His integrity, willingness to share, help and support others is unwavering.

This clip certainly gives justice to Kevin’s typical all out efforts–we are proud to have him on our Coaching staff as CF Jaguar salutes Kevin as February’s Athlete of the Month. . .

Athlete of the Month January 2011: Shaina S.

January’s Athlete of the Month: Shaina Sine

What can I say that hasn’t been said before? Shaina has been with us for 1 1/2 years, served a term as reigning She Beast and is most exemplary of a CrossFit athlete. She is strong, has excellent endurance, a never say die attitude and continually evolving fitness and skills. She’s beautiful (inside and out), spits, curses like a sailor and outlifts at least 1/3 of the men–a woman after my own heart.

Without further ado . . .CF Jaguar salutes Shaina as Jan’s Athlete of the Month!

Athlete of the Month December 2010: Dan B.

December’s Athlete of the Month: Dan Bergin

As much as we like to give him grief (mainly the She Beasts) credit must be given where credit is due. Dan joined our family last January immediately dropping over 20 pounds in our Fitness Challenge. His consistency is to be greatly admired as he rarely misses and periodically does 2 x days. His strength levels along with endurance have skyrocketed and his name is plastered all over the leader board.

To really appreciate his birthday video you must know that Dan is notorious for getting all over the women when they don’t go chest to deck in their push ups. We do have sympathy for his wife. We thought it only fitting for his birthday WOD to end with a 400 m push with She Beasts in tow. Every 100 m he had to stop and give them 29 chest to ground push ups while they pelted him with pink water balloons. Keep in mind this was after a brutal birthday wod. Dan lived up to the challenge and performed them all with full ROM. And I must add he was a very good sport about it.

CF Jaguar salutes Dan Bergin–December’s Athlete of the Month!

Athlete of the Month November 2010: Summer A.

Athlete of the Month: Summer A.

What can I say, the picture is worth a 1000 words. What a stunning example of what hard work and the proper nutritional changes can accomplish. Summer has improved her overall endurance, stamina, strength, speed and power as well as confidence. Her intense efforts, consistency, discipline and the right nutritional changes have paid off big time. CF Jaguar salutes Summer as November’s Athlete of the Month!

Athlete of the Month October 2010: Richard N.

10/16/2010

It never ceases to amaze me how fitness and the right nutrtion change a person’s life. Richard is CF Jaguar October’s Athlete of the Month. Take a quick look at Richard’s picture from a little over a year ago. . .

8/12/09

Change is gradual but boy does it add up. . .

By completing revamping his nutritional lifestyle to that of a Primal one, participating in 2 Fitness Challenges, a large part from private sessions with Coach Mike working very closely with him through back issues not to mention one on one nutritional counseling for well over a year along with group class particpation Richard has developed an excellent foundation and lost over 76 pounds. How’s that for a stellar example of goal setting, hard work, discipline, consistency and determination? And the results, aside from the obvious external ones are numberous: improved bloodwork results, increased energy and clarity of mind–in other words–transformational. Life is not the same, it is much, much better. . .

Athlete of the Month September 2010: Danielle M.

Athlete of the Month

Danielle McClendon is September’s Athlete of the Month. She has been a familiar face on the blog lately but that’s because she’s been making statements. Danielle is one of our strongest female atheltes and has been training here for a year. She hailed from CF RX in Atlanta–owned by her brother Damon Mosely & Lauren DeMarco and came to us with an excellent base.

However, within in the last year she has broken her PR on almost every lift, greatly improved her endurance and conditioning, taken her nutrition to the next level while competing in our Look Good Naked Fitness Challenge and placing in the top 3 and has taken her skills to the competitive arena as she prepares for a grueling obstacle course / fintess skills competition this November. Danielle is one of our finest role models here at CF Jaguar as she is always willing to share her knowledge with the newer members and encouraging to all those she trains along side with. Danielle is also enrolled in a CrossFit Level 1 Cert. this coming October. On top of all that Danielle is a great mom to her 2 beautiful daughters Camille and Cameron.

CF Jaguar salutes Danielle as September’s Athlete of the Month and proud to have her as a member of our family!

Athlete of the Month June 2010: Lindsay

G2G

Athlete of the Month: Lindsay Andrews
Lindsay started at CF Jaguar August of 2009, she was an excellent runner, had very good nutrition, fairly good leg strength and very little upper body strength. In fact, she could not do even 1 full push up let alone a pull up. When she would come in and see any type of overhead movement on the board she wanted to run out the door. Fast forward, almost a year later, workout consistency of 4-5x a week, intense efforts and Lindsay is an even faster runner, leg strength significantly improved, nutrition fine tuned to the point of excellence (trust me when I tell you I rarely give that mark) and upper body strength–incredible improvements. She is a member of the Girl’s w/ Pull Ups club, has an excellent kip and check out the muscular definition in the pecs, delts and lats in the above photo not to mention the intense focus. CF Jaguar salutes Lindsay as June’s Athlete of the Month.
