This month, we selected a member of Industrial Athletics who has been making huge strength gains recently. Just a few weeks ago, she achieved her first bar muscle up. On May 4, 2015, she almost got her first ring muscle up. We are constantly impressed with her drive to get better. She has become known to both morning classes and evening classes and loves to wear her wrist wraps with skulls on them. The Athlete of the Month for May of 2015 is:

It’s awesome to know everyone in class and be able to crack jokes and encourage each other. It makes it easier to get myself to the gym when I can count on having a few laughs while I’m there. 12.
