My name is Joe Luca and I am honored and humbled to be selected for the Member Spotlight for November. I am 42 years old, married to my amazing wife Christine and together we have two very active and awesome kids, Liam and Olivia. I’ve been a member of the 212 family on and off since the days it was known as Punch Kettlebell Gym and I can honestly say joining this gym was the best decision concerning my health and well-being that I’ve ever made.
I have been active in one way or another for most of my life, but over time many of the other gyms I’ve gone to become stale and I’ve struggled to find the motivation to keep going. That isn’t the case at 212, not at all. Kerry and his team are amazing. They work with you to help you reach your goals, regardless of your fitness level. You put the time in and make the commitment and they will be there with you every step of the way. Coach Sean is my small group trainer and also a good friend. He knows what I want to do and puts together a program for me to follow. Coming off the latest Superhero Academy session and his programed workouts, I’m the strongest I’ve been in my life.
In addition to my programed workouts, the class selections are great. From Nuts and Bolts and Circuit workout to HIIT and Boxing and everything in between with open gym times, 212 really does have something for everyone. Not long ago, my brother-in-law was in town for a visit and come to workout with me. When we were done, he turned to me and said “Joe, please don’t ever leave this gym. This place is the best.” That basically sums it up!
Many thanks to the entire coaching team at 212 for helping me be the healthiest version of me I can be.
