Athlete of the Month - Serena & SJ



temp-post-image




Serena:


Since Serena was born she has been actively involved in various sports starting with swimming, gymnastics and soccer. She was constantly with her mom as she ran and pushed her in a stroller on her jogs until she was old enough to jog next to her. It evolved to some basketball and eventually was old enough to begin KidsFit where she then began Olympic lifting competitions soon after. She now participates in at least one 5k every quarter.


SJ joined Serena in most athletic adventures after his time being jogged around in the stroller. He took on basketball and joined KidsFit on his 7th birthday. He prefers the calisthenics of KidsFit over the weightlifting and has recently taken up some separate gymnastics classes to focus on that strength. He too enjoys running our quarterly family 5Ks.


What do they like about working out;


Both: doing it with all our friends and ringing the PR bell.


Comps / achievements:


PRing during an Oly class during CJs and rang the PR bell for the first time.
