🎃 OCTOBER ATHLETE OF THE MONTH: ROMAN! 💪
Roman has been part of Fusion for 12 years and 3 months, attending an incredible 2,322 classes!
His journey began after his oldest son watched the 2013 CrossFit Games on ESPN and wanted to give it a try. Roman’s own goal? Learn to climb a rope!
Since then, he’s lost nearly 40 pounds, made great friends, and found a community where everyone is working to get better. Along the way, he’s also discovered his “hatred for shirts.” 😂
A few Roman favorites:
🏋️ Handstand push-ups and bench press
🎸 Any hair band to get him fired up
🌯 Chipotle after a workout
🙌 His biggest supporters: the 4 o’clock crew!
His advice for anyone nervous about starting: “Everyone can do CrossFit, and very few people are good at it in the beginning.”
Roman, your dedication over the years is something to celebrate! We’re proud of your progress and grateful to have you in our Fusion community. 👏
