January's Athlete Of The Month

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 H Dub 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!

Congrats Reese Lara! We couldn't think of anyone better to start 2023 as Athlete of the Month. Reese is one of those give you the shirt off his back kind of guys, always willing to lend a helping hand. He is fitness is almost as amazing as his sense of humor. Even during some of the worst workouts, he can find a way to crack a joke and keep the morale of those around him up. Did we also mention dude is strong AND moves well. We all strive to have some Olympic Lifts that look like Mr. Lara's. Check out more about Reese below:
