March Client of the Month


- Didnt notice water bottle and foam roller sitting perfectly in the way-
235lb x 12 - 2 weeks into his new strength program
goal 350lb back squat 1 rep max by December.

Garage Gym is proud to announce Alex Fratini as the March client of the month.
Alex has been with Garage Gym for 5 months. Alex is a Junior at Morrisville State College and is studying to become a police officer. As a 3 year self taught Crossfitter Alex found himself confused, overtrained, injury prone and not making any improvements following a fatigue based program. We fixed that. Alex started his journey at 200lbs and a total bodyfat sum of 110.5 with a midsection sum at 62. He is currently 185lbs with a 82.5 total and 38 midsection sum. Alex recently competed in the Northeast Crossfit Sectionals. With over 2400 competitors in Alex's region he ended up placing 322nd. With the crossfit sectionals requiring 1+ years of continued structured programming, with only 4 months (at the time) under this belt this was one phenominal performance.
Alex is a dedicated athlete, has a solid understanding of why and what he is doing, is in tune with his body at all times and has a crazy bright future ahead of him at only 21 years old.

Congratulations to Alex for his hard work during sectionals and his dedication to a goal. No excuses.
