Buon giorno! Hi everyone, my name is Jerry Jivoin. You probably hear me and Coach Sean speaking a little Italian when we’re together! I joined 212 Health & Performance after my family and I moved back from Italy in the Fall of 2017. I can honestly tell you this was the best decision I made for improving my health and well-being!
I’m 47, married to my amazing wife Wendy, and we have two awesome children, Sofia and Jameson. I work at Hasbro, coach my kids’ little league teams, play guitar in a band with the little time left each week, and love to travel. I have exercised off and on since Freshman year in High School where I was a two-sport athlete back in Ohio. My parents, both in their 70’s, always instilled a healthy eating and exercise mentality growing up, that ultimately we need to stay active and moving. Over the years I have tried the home gyms, the standard show up and lift gyms, but there is NO BETTER way that I have found to exercise and stay fit than being part of the 212 Community.
Kerry and his coaching team are absolutely fantastic! They will work with you no matter what stage of life or health you are in to help you attain your goals. By joining 212, you truly are part of a community of people that are all working towards the same goal, trying to make themselves better. Coach Sean is my small group leader and friend. He knows my past injuries and physical ailments and works with me to help get stronger. From my past I had two ACL knee reconstructions, still have compressed discs in my lower back, and an ailing right shoulder. The classes are various levels and you can choose what exercises to participate in based on what you are comfortable with, and the various classes throughout the week allow you to change up the routine and exercise different muscle groups. The coaches work with you about any physical concerns you might have. I can tell you, my back and overall body have never felt better since joining 212. It is the best I have felt physically in the last 25 years.
I also want to give a big thank you to Kerry and his team for everything they did and are doing during the Covid-19 Pandemic. They worked extremely hard to keep us together as a community, to keep us moving, and having fun while we are all home under the social distancing guidelines. I also appreciate they are being flexible and accommodating by still having the Live Virtual workouts as they re-open 212.
So why did I join? Simple, I want to live as long and healthy as possible for my children! My family is my world and I promised them that Daddy will try to live to 200!!! Only way I get there is by exercising, eating a nutritious diet, and living a balanced lifestyle. By joining 212 they help me achieve these goals and keep me moving! A body in motion stays in motion!
Buona giornata everyone!
Jerry
