Justin Pisano
He is the epitome of a fitness enthusiast, always looking for the next challenge from 50k mountain races, Hyrox, to anything that makes him nervous.
He fell in love with fitness once he joined the Army, at the time he couldn’t do 10 push ups, but that drove him to keep working. By the time he left the Army he had the highest PT score in his battery. Since then if anyone asks him do something physical he always say yes. He believes you learn a lot about yourself when you struggle.
Besides the gym he has wonderful boy/girl twins. They motivate him to stay healthy more than anything now.
Justin genuinely enjoys watching people do what they thought they couldn’t do. He loves seeing people fall in love with the routine. He always tell people if you enjoy the process the end goal doesn’t matter, you just enjoy the ride.
