Aug 18, 2024

We’re thrilled to shine the spotlight on our August Client of the Month… Russ! 🎉

Russ has been an absolute force in his fitness journey, showing unwavering commitment, resilience, and some truly incredible achievements.

Russ kicked off his fitness journey back in 2016 when he hopped on his first indoor bike—a Peloton. He officially joined FT alongside his wife, Audrey, on July 5th, 2017, and hasn’t missed a beat since! Every session, Russ brings energy and determination, always ready to move better, feel better, and crush his goals.

Now at 68, Russ is not just a fitness enthusiast; he's a true warrior. He’s battled through prostate cancer, shoulder surgery, and even a few broken toes. Yet, he's come out stronger—literally! Russ has significantly boosted his strength, mobility, and cardiovascular health. With newfound confidence, he’s taken his passion outdoors, completing 9 Ironman Relays and countless other cycling events. WOW indeed!

Thanks to his consistent 2x a week strength training at FT, major nutrition adjustments, and a mix of indoor and outdoor cycling, Russ has achieved some truly remarkable results. He’s shed 32 pounds, reduced his body fat by 13%, dropped 3 levels of visceral fat, slashed his BMI by 7 points, and trimmed 15 inches overall. These milestones are nothing short of inspiring. Huge congratulations, Russ! Oh, and let’s not forget—he’s turning 69 this month, so be sure to wish him a happy birthday when you see him!

Fun Facts About Russ:

  • He’s a proud Cornell University graduate, where he met his wife—on Graduation Day, no less!
  • He has a passion for collecting watches.
  • Russ has lived in both London and New York.
  • He loves vacations, cycling, and road trips with Audrey.

Here’s to Russ, a true testament to what dedication and hard work can achieve! 🎉🚴‍♂️
