Joe Russell is the Fitness Member of the Month

Joe Russell is the Member of the Month for March in the Diamond Family Fitness Center at the JCC. Joe has been a member of the JCC for the past year, and is a committed athlete - having competed in two duathlons and two triathlons.

"The JCC is an integral part of my training program," he said. "I use the JCC for all of my weight and strength training regimen, and access to the pool is crucial - especially because swimming is by far my weakest leg of a triathlon. I am at the JCC at least five days per week, and sometimes even twice a day."

Joe said his favorite activity in the fitness center is the Spinning Class, and added he appreciates the variety of machines and strength training equipment that are available. "The JCC is central to accomplishing my goals I have set forth for 2008, and ensuring I maintain an all-around healthy and fit lifestyle," he said.

"The JCC is an affordable facility that conveniently allows anyone to accomplish their health and fitness goals," he said. "In the short period that I've been a member, I have been impressed by how the class schedule is constantly changing and new equipment is added or made available to try-out."
