Motivator of the Month


On Saturday, after the first but not last combined beginner/advanced class, we recognized the first recipient of the "Motivator of the Month". This award will be given monthly to someone whose performance or attitude epitomizes what Corps Fitness' philosophy is...No Excuses!

I am proud to announce the first candidate for this award was John "Johnnie" Urkuski. Johnnie broke his wrist and was forced to wear a cast for 6 weeks and unfortunately had to have surgery to fix a bigger problem resulting in another cast having to be worn for another couple of months. Despite this, he has not missed an advanced class and he has not made excuses as to why he cannot workout. He Improvised every workout and found exercises to do that didn't involve his right arm. He Adapted and Overcame and truly earned this award.

If you see anyone who you feel deserves this award please submit their name in the ammo can that will be available for submissions. Awardees are presented with a 10-class punchcard as a thank you for reminding us why we are a part of Corps Fitness.
