Congratulations to Matt Arnold the July Member of the Month!
No one better embodies the supportive, community-like spirit of JD’s Gym better than Matt Arnold. He has a genuine desire to see everyone at the gym succeed and achieve his or her goals. On any given day, you’ll find Matt pumping up a fellow member and helping to build up the gym whether it be in the form of donating a gift certificate to the strongman competition, taking pictures/videos, or putting up a new heavy bag. On a personal level, Matt has been able to lose 12lbs of bodyfat and gain 5lbs of muscle since joining. He is most proud of hitting PRs on all three of the big lifts (Squat, Bench, Deadlift) at the gym’s PR Day. That 225lb bench press PR is the one that makes him smile the most. Currently, Matt is battling back from a shoulder surgery, but he is still in the gym hitting cardio and leg work as he rehabs his shoulder. Once healed, Matt is ready to knock that 225lb bench off the board and put up a much bigger number.
