It is time to announce the Industrial Athletics Athlete of the Month for March of 2017. This individual started with us in order to lose weight as he prepared to challenge the City’s Police Test. Despite some limitations in the beginning, he fought hard to burn the weight and increase his overall fitness. Never one to make excuses, or blame someone else because he wasn’t particularly good at something, we would see him constantly setting and achieving personal goals. He always participates in the monthly challenges, he has been a member of our Coach’s Corner Group, he has a constant smile on his face, and he is always encouraging others. Be sure to check out his before and after photo under his interview questions. The March 2017 Athlete of the Month is:
