Athlete of the Month: Jamie Tobin and Jeff Dickerson

Posted June 11, 2018

What made you decide to join the RIV?

 Jamie:  The staff was very helpful when I stopped in to take a tour. The convenience of the facility, and the intensity of the workouts. I must admit I was skeptical of Crossfit, but very happy I joined.

Jeff:I was looking to take my fitness level up. My wife joined crossfit and was seeing great results, so I decided to give it a try.

 

How has the RIV helped you achieve some of your fitness goals?

Jamie: I was really struggling working out on my own, motivating myself, and seeing results. I knew I needed to do something different.  I was thinking about getting personal training sessions, and thought the RIV covered all my goals. I signed up to do the Savage Race in 2017. I was part of the RIV for about 8 months, and knew this helped me get through the race. I have since completed my second race.

Jeff:  I feel the coaches and the athletes in class are the greatest motivation! I’ve lost about 20lbs, I’m stronger and I have more energy.

What has been your favorite workout? What have you improved the most?

Jamie: I enjoy the partner WOD.  I would say core work, and burpees have improved, but everyone hates burpees!!

Jeff: The Friday Partner WOD has been my favorite.

What is your favorite part of the RIV?

Jamie: I enjoy the group workout aspect, and the coaching/personal training feeling during the workouts. I have seen results from joining, I feel more comfortable doing everyday activities, and think it is the healthiest stress reliever I have found!

Jeff: It’s always a challenge. Each workout is different. I like that Riv has a variety of class schedules and workouts.
