We are happy to announce Cale as our July Athlete of the Month! Cale is a valued member of our Big Body Fitness and Solcana community. He can be counted on to bring a fun and welcoming energy to every class, and encourage himself and others through movement. Read more about our July Athlete of the Month below!
Coach KK says, “Cale is a wonderful human. He is very?coachable, curious about how to continue improving, and has fun while challenging himself.?As his coach, I can always rely on his smile and laid-back attitude to bring a fun atmosphere to class and welcome new athletes.”
Coach Garrett H adds, “I’ve only gotten to coach Cale a handful of times but the times?I?have, Cale has been fun, upbeat, and dedicated to the work at hand. Cale knows how to work hard while also having fun and adding joy and humor to the dynamics in class.?It’s?always a pleasure having Cale in class and I look forward to having more opportunities to coach him.”
Cale details a little bit about his journey at Solcana: “When I first joined Solcana, someone told me I was going to make so many friends. I thought that was weird for a gym. But here I am, four months later and that’s exactly what happened. I think I actually hang with friends from class more than my friends outside of class.”
“The most impactful thing for me since joining Solcana has been a shift in mentality surrounding workouts. There’s no longer a limiting focus on weight loss and instead space to find more well-rounded motivators, like improved strength and overall health. It’s very motivating to watch others show up for class and become so strong.”
Cale has goals he wants to meet, or has met, as well: “One goal I have set and reached is to have more consistency in working out, and one goal I have for the future is to successfully do one unassisted pull-up.”
Coach KK also adds, “I’ve seen Cale grow so much in his squat and hinge movements, and gain insight into how his body moves. In BBF, I love that Cale engages with others about how the movements feel in a bigger body and how good it feels to take up more space.”
Fun Facts about Cale!
- Aside from working out, he also enjoys hiking, camping, traveling, seeing live music and watching trash TV.
- He collects frog items (and is also gifted many frog items).
- He can also pick up things with his feet shockingly well (which can come in handy more times than not).
Cale also gives thanks to both Coach KK and Coach Nikki: “Shout-out to the Big Body Fitness class and my coaches KK and Nikki for creating a space where I feel like my body doesn’t get in the way of my fitness goals.”
We are ecstatic to highlight Cale as our celebrated July athlete, and can’t wait to see him continue to reach new goals and get stronger with us!
