Team ECF Newsletter -May 2024
Member of the Month
Congratulations to our Member of the Month, Steve!
Steve is well-disciplined and showcases an incredible commitment to his fitness journey.
Despite facing the challenge of a hip replacement, he has bounced back with remarkable resilience, demonstrating a can-do attitude that inspires us all.
Beyond his perseverance, Steve brings a contagious light-hearted humor to our community. Even when the coaches keep reminding him we can get deeper in that squat!
Partnering up with Steve is not only a privilege but also a delight, as his positivity and determination radiate in every interaction, making each workout session a great experience.
If you see Steve in class be sure to give him a fist bump, generally, you will see him enjoying himself on a rower or practicing his toes to bar.
