Introducing our Gym M.O.M. (Member of the Month) for February, 2022 … Sanket Ghanmare !⁠

Since joining us three months ago, Sanket has been a man on a mission! Like many of us, COVID put a damper in his normal training routine before the pandemic. When we discussed this with Sanket, one of his goals was to get back into his normal fitness routine but with the motivation / support of our coaches and peers.

Sanket has kept true to his word by showing up consistently to class, taking instructions from coaches and providing motivational support to others as well! We couldn’t be more proud to bestow the honor of gym M.O.M. to him for this month.

Learn more about Sanket below!

Q: What made you decide to start functional fitness training?
I got over confident in my abilities and thought that whatever the routine I was doing from home was more than enough for me. Slowly my overall health deteriorated. I realized that I had to stop lying to myself and train my body under the supervision of experts.

Q: What are your hobbies/interests outside of the gym?
Reading books (Mangas), writing code, exploring new topics in subjects of my interests, training my body and mind to keep them healthy and sharp, visiting new places, understanding the science and math behind technologies.

Q: What are your least favorite movements?
I plead the fifth

Q: What movements do you want to improve at?
Currently, I want to improve my pull-ups and handstands.

Q: What advice do you have for someone considering our gym?
Just go for it and don’t give up! The well-being of the body and mind should and must be your top priority

Q: What’s your favorite “cheat” food?
There are so many so here is my list but I will list a few:

  • Ice cream
  • Cakes and cookies
  • Spicy food

Q: What is your guilty pleasure?
Netflix, watching anime and day dreaming

Q: Do you have any nicknames?

This will be the firt training cycle of the new year! this is a chance to refocus and get in some good work to help you reach your goals! lets all work together to crush this training cycle! Functional Fitness: The Apex Cycle is designed to make your year-long strength work truly functional, focusing on controlled, powerful movements, complexes under fatigue, and mandated touch-and-go reps to prepare you for mixed-modal workouts. Our strength culminates in the classic CrossFit Total and the "R3VIVE Other Total," while conditioning features a wide variety of time domains, movement volume builds (like wall balls, toes-to-bar, and burpees), and regular Friday retests of past workouts to track your progress and ensure you perform your absolute best.

Our strength work will focus on controlled, powerful movements, building you up to test your limits with both the classic CrossFit Total and the "R3VIVE Other Total," which challenges your skill and strength balance. Expect a well-rounded program including unilateral strength, skill work, and core stability, with dedicated days for deadlifts, squats, gymnastics, and varied accessory work to keep you healthy and constantly progressing. For conditioning, we're tailoring the work to challenge you in new ways, featuring a wide variety of time domains and movements, and a specific volume build on common movements like wall balls, toes-to-bar, and burpees. Instead of a standard test/retest, we'll be performing regular retests of past workouts on Fridays, allowing you to easily track your progress and see how far you've come. Our weekly template balances intensity—with short, fast metcons on Mondays—with recovery, incorporating lower impact endurance work on Thursdays, and a strategic taper toward the end of the week to set you up for success on Friday! Partner workouts will wrap up your week every Saturday, bringing the whole community together.

Hey R3VIVE Athletes, Our next programming cycle runs from September 15th to November 7th. It's an 8-week cycle that will continue to see strength progression carrying from what we did last cycle in Functional fitness. While Pump will begin working unilateral strength progressions. Functional Fitness: This cycle will continue our progression from the skill and lifts from last cycle, while trying to integrate them into more of our conditioning. We will do this by focusing on different portions of the lifts during our strength portion then performing smaller sets of gymnastic skills in our conditioning. You will also see conditioning that is purely focused on our aerobic capacity and working mainly on monostructural elements, such as running, rowing and biking. Build: This A-B week cycle is designed to build foundational strength through consistent progression, with a strong focus on Back Squats and Strict Presses, including variations for balanced weekly training. Conditioning will have some longer aerobic pieces and begin to include more skills like strict Toes-to-Bar, and Pull-ups from last cycle. See the chart below for details.
