June 2011 Member of the Month: Rico Bertschinger
Rico: all smiles
This month’s member profile is Rico Bertschinger. Rico is a successful business man who enjoys hockey and yoga. He works hard at the gym, but his kind easy going demeanor what stands out to me. I don’t think I’ve ever seen Rico not smiling at the gym, even during the toughest of workouts. Rico recently took home an “honourable mention” in our Real Food Challenge and I’m sure that men half his age would love to have his abs! In Rico’s own words:”It has been almost a year now since I started Cross Fit. I really have enjoyed the challenge of the exercises and working out with the other Cross Fit members who make the working out a team effort which motivates me even more. I really respect your coaches for their passion, knowledge and their dedication.”
Thanks for the kind words Rico, and keep up the good work!
Age: 46
