✨Member Spotlight✨ Meet gym besties Sean & James! A little about them in their own words: Sean: In 2013, I realized I was becoming a desk warrior with poor fitness and a sedentary lifestyle. I discovered functional fitness and haven’t looked back. There is something special about pushing yourself with others that gets you hooked. I enjoy the pre-WOD conversations, jokes, and awesome coaches like Laura who push me to be my best!
James: I was born and raised in Seattle, with a brief stint in Washington, D.C. I’ve always been into sports and staying active — from basketball and soccer to tennis and long-distance running. After hobbling across the finish line of my one-and-only marathon, I realized I could run far, but at the same time felt prone to injury and one-dimensional. Eventually, I found functional fitness to get stronger and more well-rounded, and I am still hooked over a decade later.
How long have you been a member of GLSC? S: 2018 J: I’ve been a member since 2013, back in the NWCF days. It’s been fun watching the gym evolve over the years.
How has being a part of the gym benefited you? S: GLSC has connected me with the Greenlake community, helping me establish a core friend group forged in sweat and WODs. J: GLSC has helped me build new friendships/accountability buddies, stay consistent with fitness, and blow off stress in a positive way. My best days usually start with the 5am crew at GLSC, so I can show up better at work, with my family, and life outside the gym. The class environment often feels like a sports team practice, and I love the camaraderie and friendly competition to get a little better every day.
What is your favorite movement or workout? S: Handstand Pushups J: Wall balls or thrusters are at the top of the list… and yes, I actually like the assault bike. I am quad-dominant 🙂
What is your favorite music or pump-up song? S: Dragula by Rob Zombie J: “Seventeen Years” by Ratatat — steady, driving, and perfect for locking into a workout.
Thank you for being part of the GLSC community, Sean and James!
