Achievements:

What is your most memorable moment at Synergy Strength?

This is a tough one… I would have to say my 3rd Muscle Up. Yes the third, I completed my first and second MU in March of 2010, and had a soccer game later that night. While making a save I was for lack of a better term “demolished” by a 300# defenseman severely injuring my shoulder. It wasn’t until March 2012 that I completed my 3rd MU. It was memorable because it showed that those 2 years of work were worth it!

 

When you talk about Synergy Strength with friends, what do you brag about?

When I tell people about Synergy, I brag about how strong we all are, and how much stronger we have become by training at Synergy. I am not referring too only physical stronger but mentally and emotionally stronger as well. This is because of the community at the gym and the supportive competiveness that we all seem to have.

 

Yeah, you want to beat the guy next to you but, he’ll be happy for you if you beat him and you’ll be happy for him if he gets you!

 

What does #synergystrong mean to you?

Personally synergystrong means all around strength, physical, mental, emotional and community.  It is the combination of strength required to push through no matter what the challenge is.

When all of these things come together and you just kill it! #synergystrong
