May's Athlete of the Month

We are happy to finally crown the future Nashville mayor as Athlete of the Month, Mr. Vinit Rai. Vinit has been with us since the beginning! He is the epitome of work hard, play hard and we love that about him. He likes to switch up his class times, but for the most part he is a 5:30am'er. He is consistent and a hard worker and we have loved watching our friend get better on a daily basis. Vinit is always bringing good vibes and can talk to anyone, which is why he will make a great mayor someday. Vote for Vinit - Mayor 2030!

Time to highlight one of our spectacular athletes! What makes up an Athlete of the Month? Not RX’ing every workout or lifting the most weight. This athlete exhibits consistency and a hard work mentality. Every time they come to the gym they have a good attitude and give their all. This person is also welcoming of others, helping make CFHD the best community there is. Each month we choose a different athlete and post some fun facts about them to help y’all get to know them better.

I attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville - GO VOLS!!! I have two older brothers - one lives in Knoxville and one lives in New York. I'm an uncle to the coolest nephew in all the land.
