Introducing our Gym M.O.M. (Member of the Month) for April 2023 … Nic Vasquez!

It’s somewhat of a bitter sweet moment to honor Nic since it’s his last month with us, but we had to make sure we honored him before he left!

Nic’s work ethic and consistency are what stands out the most (aside from his adorable dog Zeus!) and what makes this months honors an easy choice. Nic also has a strong, competitive edge which is contagious to some (coaches included).

We’ve seen firsthand how his approach has influenced and motivated those around him! That’s something we highly value since we are all about cultivating a healthy environment of welcoming members, driven by a passion to work hard!

Join us in congratulating Nic and wishing him the best of luck on his new venture!

I thought functional fitness would be the best form of exercise to help me reach my goals and promote lifelong wellness. I wasn’t wrong.

I’m a Senior Industrial Hygienist and the Boston Division Manager for a large engineering consulting firm.

Q: What are your least favorite movements?
Buck furpees, thrusters, and overhead press.

Q: What movements do you want to improve at?
Overhead squats

Q: What advice do you have for someone considering our gym?
Just do it. The community is friendly and inclusive and the coaches cater to people at all fitness levels.

Q: What’s your favorite “cheat” food?
I typically eat pretty clean but I also don’t intentionally avoid foods for any reason other than I don’t want them.

Q: What is your guilty pleasure?
I plead the 5th!

Q: Do you have any nicknames?
Well my nickname is, in fact, Nic… but my friends also call me Nico, Nicoli, and Nicky Clicks.

I’m able to identify ripe citrus fruits at the grocery store by sight alone.

Our next programming cycle runs from July 12th to September 12th. It's an 8-week cycle, so it's a bit shorter than the last one. We'll be bringing back some Olympic lifts and continuing with the A-B week progressions. The post Functional Fitness Training Block: Resurgence Cycle appeared first on R3VIVE FITNESS.

As we start our Fall cycle, we're embracing a more structured approach to our strength training. Mondays will focus on squats, Tuesdays on upper pulling and gymnastic skills, Wednesdays on pressing, and Fridays on the hinge and posterior chain. Let's gear up for progress this season!
