Name: Rick Kelso
Rick is the definition of resilience, consistency, and showing up when it matters most. After a recent health scare, he didn’t just ease back in…he came back with a vengeance. Over the past couple of months, Rick has been incredibly disciplined, dialed in, and committed to making his health and longevity a top priority—and it shows every single day in the gym.
We are so proud to have him as part of our community and even more excited to celebrate him this month!
