February Member of the Month Interview: Todd Blanton

1. What do you do outside of the gym? 

Director of IT at Averett, which is about as boring as it sounds. Hobbies: Really big gamer, carpentry, my dog, card collecting, technology tinkering, I am always rebuilding a server, or an old computer

2. How long have you been training with us? 

8 months

3. What’s been your biggest accomplishment since you began training with us?

The fact that I show up. I have never consistently worked out (outside of sports). Now I want to keep my streak going and in one month I will get over 20 classes, I never thought I would have that habit built in me.

4. What’s your favorite thing about being a member here? 

The Members, I enjoy seeing everyone and bouncing around to all the classes and it's just as welcoming as the 4:30 group. David helped me get my house, which was Doug’s old house so it’s a tight group here. And I like the fact we all decide to show up for an hour of suffering together.

5. What would you say to someone who is considering training with us? 

DO IT!!!! Don’t question it, just commit, show up, work with the coach to find a workout that works for you, and then keep showing up, results will happen. Once you get over the initial soreness of being new, your body will thank you and you’ll be happy with the mirror and scale as well.
