✨Member Spotlight✨ Meet Ram and Otter, his favorite gym dog (that is not his 😆💚)!
A little about Ram in his own words: I moved to Seattle from Chicago two years ago and currently work at a management consulting firm called Spur Reply, where I help tech companies with their go‑to‑market strategies. Outside of work, I love being outdoors – mostly hiking and biking. I am still in awe of and grateful for how easy it is to access nature in the area. Coming from Chicago, the first thing that really surprised and delighted me was just how green everything in the PNW is! I’m also a big foodie and enjoy cooking in my spare time. My latest obsession is using curry leaves in just about everything for that extra, unique hit of flavor.
How long have you been a member of GLSC? I’ve been a member since September 2025, and coming into the gym has become one of my favorite parts of the week!
How has being a part of the gym benefited you? Being part of GLSC has definitely helped me get stronger while making steady and consistent progress toward my goals. I do the ID sessions, which have been incredibly helpful for working around previous injuries without feeling held back by them. Shout out to all the coaches who provide thoughtful guidance, are always encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping us train safely and effectively. On top of that, the sense of community here makes a big difference. And getting to see all the wonderful puppies at the gym 100% instantly lifts my mood—nothing better than being able to pet the dogs or give a belly rub in between sets to make even the toughest workouts feel lighter.
What is your favorite movement or workout? Over the past few months, I have come to realize that I like the power and explosive movements more and medicine ball slams is one of my favorite workouts. I like it for the high‑energy, full‑body workout, and incredibly satisfying feeling.
What is your favorite music or pump‑up song? I listen to a wide range of music, but my current pump‑up favorite is “Ari Ari” by Bombay Rockers. It’s the kind of track that makes even the last set feel doable.
Thank you for being part of the GLSC community, Ram!
