USA Olympic Weightlifting High School Talent Search

It’s go time! Our Salus crew is headed to Miami to throw down at Wodapalooza 2025, one of the biggest (and brightest) stages in CrossFit.

At Salus, we’re all about celebrating the incredible people who make our community so special. This month, we’re excited to shine a spotlight on Joe, our January Athlete of the Month! Joe’s journey at Salus is one of resilience, hard work, and growth. Since recommitting to his fitness journey in June 2024, Joe has made impressive strides in his health and fitness. " I couldn’t be more proud of Joe and his progress. When he arrived at Salus, you could see he was staying in his wheelhouse, choosing to scale workouts so they were at his comfort level. Every so often, I’d show him a new option to increase his workout intensity and while he wasn’t always ready, he remained open minded to at least trying. His diligence has paid off. Lately, I see him trying a heavier weight, a new gymnastics movement, or pushing himself with things like box jumps or running. As a coach, the reward hasn’t been only in seeing improved results from him on the leaderboard. It’s the confidence I see he’s developed. That’s a huge win." ~Coach Erin " Erin pretty much covered it all. Joe is very open to corrections and he’s steadily improving He is the prime example of placing technique 1st, consistency 2nd and then intensity. Joe is also a real nice guy and easy to get along with. " ~Coach Scott " Joe has done CrossFit for a while in the past, then life changed but he has made a great come back. The best part is he focused on discipline, consistency and not comparing him self to the past. As a result he's making progress he's happy with and I'm very proud and happy for him too.
