✨Member Spotlight✨ Meet Varun! A little about him in his own words: I’m originally from India and moved to the US in 2022. I work in Design and Experience Research, focusing on making work environments and technology more user-friendly and accessible. Outside of work, I’m a stage actor and have performed in multiple theater productions in Seattle. Right now, I’m playing Mycroft in Miss Holmes. When I’m not lifting at GLSC, I’m probably rehearsing lines or on stage! How long have you been a member of GLSC Joined in April 2024—so just long enough to love back squats and pretend Copenhagen plank doesn’t destroy me. How has being a part of the gym benefitted you? It’s undoubtedly making me feel slightly less guilty about my fried chicken and beer obsession. But honestly It’s helped me stay consistent, build strength, and develop camaraderie with fellow lifters.    What is your favorite movement or workout? Back squat! There’s something about getting under the bar, bracing, and feeling like an absolute powerhouse!   What is your favorite music or pump-up song?I like alternative and classic rock. Some songs that are really uplifting Born to Be Wild – Steppenwolf, Back in Black – AC/DC, Eye of the tiger – Survivor What do you like about taking the Strength Series at GLSC? I like that it’s all about getting stronger in a structured way—no guesswork, just show up and lift. The coaches make sure we’re doing things right (and don’t accidentally turn a squat into a questionable dance move). I also appreciate that it has a clear start and finish—the six-week format keeps me focused and makes progress easy to track. It’s a well-designed program, but the fun and supportive environment make it even better. Thank you for being part of the GLSC community, Varun! #gymcommunity #glsc #greenlakestrengthandconditioning #functionalfitness
