Committed Club - June 2016

Get in a routine. Make it a habit. See the results.

Congratulations to our June 2016 Committed Club members. 49 athletes on this list! A special congratulations to the three newest members of our Swamp Kettlebell Club....Nick MarkosMike Kramer, and Karen Symanowicz. This exclusive club consists of any member that makes the Committed Club for 12 straight months. This woman and two gentlemen are constants at The Swamp every day, week, and month. They are great people, very hard workers, and they'll do anything you tell them to do.....well, one of them will. 

It's only fitting that Nick and Mike make it the same month since they live so close to each other. Nick came to us via Kramer, and he's been a constant at The Swamp since he and his family moved to Swampscott from Miami. Nick and Greg D'Antona race to the gym every morning at 5am, which is pretty cute. Nick is an extremely driven, professional dedicated, unselfish human being with a strong moral compass and an extremely high level of integrity. We are lucky to have him. Congrats my friend.

There are a handful of people in my life that I remember the first time I met them....my wife, my in-laws....Kramer. Yeah, I remember it clearly. Thankfully it was over the phone. Krames had to step away from CrossFit because he thought he was 18 years old for the first 6 months of his CrossFit journey and got into some trouble. We told him to come back, trust us, follow the program, don't overtrain, and you'll be able to do this for the rest of your life. He's done that, and now I am writing this post. The progress is real. Mike would give the shirt off his back for anyone in this community, and he's a great ambassador for The Swamp.

For most of Karen's tenure at The Swamp, she has been a regular at the LPC (Noon class). She has helped us with our website, she has helped us with social media, she has taken more pictures of our coaching staff than anyone else in the world, and she has worked her butt off to get where she is today. She has battled annoying injuries here and there in the course of this 12 months, and that did not deter her from finding a way to show up and put in the work, even if it meant modifying things regularly (which can be annoying but vital). She's worked her weaknesses, she's taken on challenges, she's failed a bunch, she's succeeded a whole lot more, and she's gotten a lot better in the process. Congratulations Karen!

Thank you boys and girl. The Swamp loves you.
