<p>Last July, Coach Nick raced his 15-year-old daughter, Avary, to the hospital. They left with a diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes.
 
T1D is an autoimmune condition that requires constant blood sugar monitoring and lifelong insulin management, and Avary now manages it every day.
 
You may not know Nick. As our 5AM coach, he shows up and delivers coaching with care before most of us are awake. Now we get to show him some care.
 
On May 9, 2026, Team Avary will participate in Beat the Bridge at Husky Stadium — featuring an 8K race and a 5K fun run/walk. Whether you want to push the pace or just walk with friends, there’s a spot for you.
 
Here’s how:
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f449.png" alt="👉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Donate to Team Avary
<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f449.png" alt="👉" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Sign up for the 8K or 5K fun run/walk

All the details and registration are in the bio, and:
https://www2.breakthrought1d.org/site/TR?fr_id=10543&#038;pg=team&#038;team_id=371493
 
Let’s pack Husky Stadium with GLSC/Polaris folks and help fight T1D!</p>

<p>What a day! We had 11 teams participate this past Saturday, and the vibe in the gym was exactly what we aim for: supportive, high-effort, and a lot of fun.

<p>In March, we have continued to work with Bellwether Housing to offer free fitness classes on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons for the residents at the low income housing development at Roosevelt Station: Cedar Crossing and the workers at Family Works and El Centro de la Raza. </p>
<p>We have been sending two of our GLSC coaches to provide these afternoon classes. We started with 12 participants in February and just in the last few weeks we have started seeing some new faces in the mix. </p>
<p>It has been so fun to meet the new participants and watch their progress! We have gotten great feedback about the format of class so we have mainly kept with mobility, breath work, and low impact resistance band training but have now started including a bit of plyometrics. We finish each session with a cool down before they head back to their day. </p>
<p>We are excited to continue to update you on this and our late cancellation fees will continue to go toward this project for April! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f33c.png" alt="🌼" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> </p>

<p>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 &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>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!  </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Thank you for being part of the GLSC community, Ram!</p></p>
