Introducing our Gym M.O.M. (Member of the Month) for September, 2021 … Quincy Goodwin!

Quincy has been a consistent member since the day he joined, trusting us with our plan for his best success with us. Quincy’s journey began with our on-ramp program, to additional personal training sessions for making the necessary improvements needed for classes. Now we’re proud to boast about his ability to perform well during classes, his strength gains and gained experience (and because we know he’s to humble too brag ;))

Quincy aka “Q”, not only shares the honor of Gym MOM for this month, but his birthday is also coming soon! Be sure to congratulate him and wish him a happy birthday next time you see him!

Q: What made you decide to start functional fitness training?
I decided that I wanted to up my workout game completely. Especially building upper body strength but as I found out, my whole body needed some strength training as I’m not the most athletic person lol.

Q: Are you a student/working professional/both? What do you do for a living?
I work full-time. My job is majority corporate meeting & event planning and facilities management at a law firm.

Q: What are your hobbies/interests outside of the gym?
Listening to music, hanging out with friends, seeing theatrical productions and traveling when I can.

Q: What are some of your favorite movements (name up to three)?
Air squats, back squats, and medball slams.

Q: What are your least favorite movements?
Burpees (with a passion), v-ups, and strict pull-ups

Q: What movements do you want to improve at?
Kipping pull-ups

Q: What advice do you have for someone considering our gym?
I would say: be patient with yourself and stay optimistic. Stay the course and watch how much you progress.

Q: What’s your favorite “cheat” food?
Ice cream!

Q: Do you have any nicknames?
“Q”

Q: An interesting fact that we probably don’t know about you!
I’ll give three:
– I have an identical twin brother. I try to let folks know ahead of time in case they run into him so things don’t get too awkward, so let this be the notice! lol
– I’m originally from Antigua.
– I was in an a capella group in undergrad for 4 years.

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.
