Athlete of the Month: Michael Menago

Our second Athlete of the Month for January is Michael Menago!! Mike puts in hours (and hours!) of work at the box and has grown tremendously as an athlete. Big things to come, congratulations Mike!

1. What made you decide to join the Riv?

I initially joined the Riv to help get in shape for a career in law enforcement. A friend had me try CrossFit for the first time at another box but when I saw everything the Riv had to offer I decided to sign up here instead.

2. How has CrossFit Riverfront helped you reach some of your fitness goals?

I’ve come a long way since joining. I’ve lost about 40lbs and hit numerous milestones in my lifts, endurance and above all mobility which has always been a weak point of mine. I find myself constantly pushing the boundaries of my fitness goals as they improve. What started as a means to simply get in better shape has evolved into so much more. Most of which can be contributed to the Competitors Programming, I highly suggest it to anyone interested!

3. What has been your favorite workout? What have you improved on most?

My favorite workout will always be Murph. Not only is it a great physical challenge but a mental one as well. And it’s in memory of a true bad ass, Lt. Michael Murphy. As corny as it sounds I’ve seen so many improvements since starting I wouldn’t be able to pick just one.

4. What is your favorite part of the Riv?

The community. From the coaches to the members I’d be hard pressed to find a more supportive and friendly community anywhere else.
