This week’s Featured Athlete was chosen by Coach Joel! Jason has been with us since 2015 and has made so much progress in the last year being really dedicated to his form, technique and mobility. It’s paying off! Keep up the awesome work Jason! “My #decfmembermonday goes out to Jason Puccinelli! Jason has been at the South Gym from day 1 and before that he was part of the early morning crew at Midtown. Jason has put in more hours than most both in class and working on his own with designed programming. Effort and grit is something he does not lack, and it’s one of many things that I love about this guy! Thanks Jason for all your support over the years and all the crap you love to give me!” – Coach JoelRead more
