They like to take a trip somewhere nice to race and last year they went to Bermuda. Susan also just finished as the President of her Woman's Club. She actually found Velocity when we had a booth at the HoHoKus 5k race that she served as race director. From there, she and her husband and her 7 year old son all have joined. Over the last 7 months Susan feels stronger, better at skipping and better at jump roping too. When asked about Velocity, Susan says she likes that the coaches know her and push her. She also likes that she can work out with her husband and Eddie, family bonding in a healthy way. Susan is a hard worker, doesn't complain and is always smiling and happy which is why she has been chosen the October Adult Athlete of the Month.

At Velocity, Chris likes when the class does parachutes and says he still has fun while getting a good workout in. He has been coming here for about 3 months and has noticed increased speed in soccer and more strength behind his hits in baseball. Chris is very enthusiastic, gives it his all and is very supportive of other athletes in the class which is why he is our October Youth Athlete of the Month.

Jimmy also likes to ride his dirt bike on the 5 acres his family owns near the Ramapo Mountains. His favorite part of his Velocity workouts is doing back squats. After training with us for about 5 months, he states that he feels faster and stronger and they anxiously await ski season and lacrosse season to see how his hard work affects his sports. Jimmy's gives 110% in his workouts, listens well and has a great attitude which is why he is October's D1 Athlete of the Month.

He is an outstanding catcher and lettered as a freshman, was All-County as a sophomore, and is looking to play in the major leagues after college. Most of his time is spent playing sports and working out but when he can he likes to take a day to go fishing with his grandfather. Ryan has been training with Velocity for about a year and a half and says he is much faster now and more explosive due to his training. Ryan's great work ethic and outstanding achievements are some reasons why he is our October D2 Athlete of the Month.
