Athlete of the Month: Ron Duce

Dive into the journey of Tina and Jay, a couple whose lives have been profoundly transformed by their experiences at CrossFit Salus. From the initial rush to get wedding-ready to navigating the challenges of parenthood, their story is a testament to the power of a supportive fitness community.  Witness how they’ve overcome obstacles, celebrated triumphs, and found a second family among both OG and new members alike. Through ups and downs, CrossFit Salus has been their constant, offering more than just workouts but a place where they feel at home. We’re incredibly fortunate to have the Schacks as a vital part of the Salus community. Just hear what our coaches have to say: “From the moment I saw Christina tackling wall balls in her wedding veil, I knew she was something special. Both her and Jay’s dedication and spirit (not to mention, Jay’s amazing overhead mobility!) have been an inspiration to us all from day one. We’re truly blessed to have the Schacks as part of our CrossFit Salus family.” ~Coach Angela “Jay and Christina are the perfect example of two parents who work hard to balance health while managing a busy family. They have been fixtures in my 8:30 class since I started coaching, coordinating schedules to make CrossFit a crucial part of their day. Christina is always a cheerful presence who comes with a positive mindset, aimed at improving as an athlete no matter what the workout. Jay comes with a quiet focus during class, putting to excellent use his mobility and amazing strength, while always receptive to coaching cues.” ~Coach Erin “Both athletes are always open to constructive feedback but what impresses me the most is that both Jay and Christina work within their limits prioritizing technique over the RX button. They both understand the intended stimulus of the WOD which is their primary goal. Oh, and don’t let them fool you with their kind, sweet demeanor….they are strong AF!!!” ~Coach Scott Meet the Schacks, Athletes of the Month: February 2024
