Member Spotlight - Feb 2017, Brian J.

Brian J. is a a regular "nooner" at ENRGi. Always walking in with a smile on his face, he's always ready to push himself! With 2 kids, a commute from the suburbs, and lots of traveling, Brian still finds time to commit himself to a healthy lifestyle!

What motivates you to workout?
Being the best version of me I can be. I strive for consistency. When I can be consistent with my workouts and combine that routine with healthy eating, I feel physically and mentally strong!

What are your favorite classes at ENRGi?
Shredded, SWAT and Calorie. I love the variation that each of these classes gives me and I love seeing the different class styles of all the instructors.

How do you recover post workout?
Drinking a lot of water along with a product called AMPED Recover - it helps in muscle building and recovery for fatigued muscles.


What is your guilty pleasure? 
Without a doubt, cheesy reality TV shows with my wife - Bachelor/Bachelorette, yup! 

What is your favorite quote?
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy". They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life." - John Lennon
