Join us in celebrating our July Athlete of the Month, Justin Eckilson!
Every day, he stands a little taller, confident in his knowledge that the challenges we tackle in the gym will prepare him to face the obstacles life throws his way. Wilcox has shown Justin that he is capable of far more than he often believes, and this realization has permeated his daily life. Despite the strides he has made, Justin is still diligently working towards new goals. In the gym, he's focused on perfecting his push-up—a seemingly simple exercise that continues to challenge him. Beyond the gym, managing stress remains a work in progress. Exercise provides a crucial outlet, yet finding ways to prevent stress from creeping into his daily life is an ongoing endeavor.
Committing to healthy living has also shifted Justin's perspective. He has learned that it doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing approach. Healthy living is a marathon, not a sprint, and starting small allows for the development of lasting habits. Focusing on one or two habits at a time has been key to his consistency and success. What motivates Justin is the continual improvement and the sense of accomplishment that comes with each small victory. The drive to pick up a heavier weight or push himself a little further keeps him going. Inspiration comes from various sources, but his grandparents stand out. Their dedication to family and their own well-being serves as a powerful example. Within the gym, the Wilcox community inspires Justin. The collective commitment, effort, and camaraderie are palpable, fueling his motivation week after week.
For those looking to commit to health and fitness, our best advice is to start small and focus on your form. It's not about the highest number of reps or the heaviest weights, but about performing each exercise with the best form possible. Building a solid foundation with good form will pay dividends as you progress in your fitness journey.
