Meet 925 Ambassador: Will Becker

Will Becker joined the 925 Ambassadors in 2018 and is one of the founding members of the 925 Breakfast Club!

I am fairly new to the world of fitness. Growing up and in the years that followed, I was always active but never exercised. I played a lot of sand-lot sports and enjoyed going on hikes, but nothing more physically serious than that.

My purposeful training regiment started later in life when I was 56 when I joined 925 in the spring of 2017. My wife had been attending 925 for about a year and she had transformed into a gym rat before my eyes (for specific health reasons). After much urging from her, I finally agreed to give 925 a try. At first, I was leery and a bit skeptical because of a lower back injury I sustained 15 years earlier. During the first weeks, I realized the coaches sincerely cared about my health, were very knowledgeable about training, and were also serious about preventing me from hurting my back. As the weeks became months, I found that I felt years younger, was more confident regarding my back, and even looked forward to going to the gym.

There are many things that I love about 925, but what stands out the most is the people. When I first started attending 925, I received constant encouragement from the coaches and fellow athletes. This is without a doubt why I continued coming back. Today, I try to fist bump and say “good job” to every person in the class after the workout. I hope they are in some manner encouraged by this, but personally it is my way of thanking them for being there and spurring me to press on. There is a great community of mutual support, and I am definitely more healthy, stronger, and fit because of that community.
