Introducing our Gym M.O.M. (Member of the Month) for March 2023 … Josh Kern! ⁠
 
It’s been long overdue, but it’s about time we recognize one of our OG’s here at R3VIVE. Josh has been a member since we opened our doors and was with us since the days of our old stomping grounds. Josh could easily have won this recognition a long time ago, but we had to honor some of the newbies first He’s almost too good at being consistent that he flew under the radar, but not for long. Now it’s a must, and we couldn’t be more proud to give him the spotlight!
 
Aside from having the best workout face, Josh is a steady presence during the evening classes. Josh does all that we ask for from all of our members… show up, be ready to learn and put in the work! This is something we can all learn from him!

Learn more about Josh below:

Q: What made you decide to start functional fitness training?
I wanted to switch things up after doing the same strength training routine for a few years. I also hated doing cardio, so I liked that functional fitness built that into the workouts.

Q: Are you a student/working professional/both? What do you do for a living?
I’m working as a product manager at a robotics startup in Cambridge.

Q: What are your hobbies/interests outside of the gym?
In the winter, I love snowboarding. I’m writing this from Colorado where I’m about to get on the slopes! I also really enjoy traveling to new countries and experiencing new cultures.

Q: What are some of your favorite movements (name up to three)?
 Pull-ups, overhead squats, and snatches.

Q: What are your least favorite movements?
 Deadlifts and running.

Q: What movements do you want to improve at?
 I’d like to build more overhead strength for inverted movements like handstand holds with shoulder taps.

Q: What advice do you have for someone considering our gym?
 Give it a shot! The coaches are very welcoming and modify the programming for truly any level of strength/conditioning/skill.

Q: What’s your favorite “cheat” food?
 Ice cream! Usually something with peanut butter.

Q: What is your guilty pleasure?
 Binge watching TV on the couch.

Q: Tell us an interesting fact that we probably don’t know about you!
I was the captain of my high school tennis team. I don’t play that much anymore, but I’m hoping to spend some more time playing this summer. Let me know if you’d like to hit with me!

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.
