Congratulations to Jamie Greene, our August Fitness Patron of the Month!

Check out his story here:

Hi, I’m Jamie, a flatlander from Iowa who moved out to Colorado 7 years ago. Upon moving here, I started getting into the mountain bike scene and quickly realized I needed to make a change physically. In order to enjoy the mountain climbs on my bike, I needed to routinely work on my cardio. And that is how I ended up joining the Carbon Valley Rec Center and attending cycling classes. The mountain climbs are still a struggle, but tolerable now due to my dedication and attending cycling classes regularly. I am married with two young girls (8&10) and I work a lot of long hours so the 5:30 am weekly cycling classes and the 7:30 am Saturday class have been a great fit for my busy schedule. The male to female ratio in classes had me reluctant to attend at first, but I am grateful for the instructors and regular attendees who welcome anyone to attend! I quickly learned that cycling classes are not just for women and you will get out of it what you put in it. If you see me at the rec center, please stop and say hi. We're all here trying to improve our health and we might as well enjoy doing it together!
