Introducing our Gym M.O.M. (Member of the Month) for April  2026 … Jeremy⁠ Clark!

We’re excited to celebrate Jeremy as our Member of the Month! Jeremy found his way to R3VIVE after losing a friendly race to a friend—what started as a little competitive motivation turned into a full-on commitment to getting stronger, moving better, and showing up consistently.

He brings a positive attitude to class, shows up ready to work, and reminds us that sometimes the best fitness journeys start with a little friendly competition.

Learn more about Jeremy below:

What made you decide to start functional fitness training? 
It actually started with a wake-up call after losing a race to a friend. At the time, I hadn’t stepped foot in a gym in years, and losing was the wake-up call I needed to realize I was completely out of shape.

Are you a student/working professional/both? What do you do for a living? 
I’m an HR professional for the Commonwealth, specializing in leave administration.

What are your hobbies/interests outside of the gym? 
When I’m not training, I’m traveling, trying out new restaurants in Boston with my wife, or rooting for the Los Angeles Chargers (it’s a lifestyle).

What are some of your favorite movements? 
I’m a fan of the big compound lifts, specifically:
Cleans, squats, and bench press.

What are your least favorite movements? 
Easily Burpees and Thrusters. No contest.

What movement do you want to improve at? 
Cleans. I’ve got my sights set on a 225lb 1RM.

What advice do you have for someone considering our gym? 
Just do it. The coaches are incredibly knowledgeable and prioritize your safety above everything else. Plus, the community is awesome; everyone is genuinely friendly and wants to see you succeed.

What's your favorite "cheat" food? 
Loaded fries.

What is your guilty pleasure? 
Fantasy Football. I probably spend an unhealthy amount of time deep-diving into football podcasts.

Do you have any nicknames? 
People call me JerBear, but I’ll answer to BigJerm or J-Money.

Tell us an interesting fact that we probably don't know about you! 
I’ve been to the physical North Pole on a military deployment. It’s the one place on Earth that makes a Boston winter feel like a vacation in Mexico City. And arguably the only place where being a Chargers fan feels slightly less lonely!

Here at R3vive, we don’t prioritize competition; we believe in movements that foster a healthier tomorrow and promote longevity. But competition does have its benefits; embracing the intensity, camaraderie, and fun can help build the intensity and results you're looking for.
