Athlete of the Month: Mike Ferguson

Mike is definitely a force to be reckoned with. He always come to class with a positive attitude and a goal in mind. He always pushes himself, is encouraging to others, and is an all around supportive athlete to our entire 6S community.
Mike has been an integral part of 6S for almost a year and a half. Throughout that time, he’s participated in many of our events, not only on the functional fitness side, but also the powerlifting and weightlifting side. He constantly strives to better himself and is an absolute pleasure to have in any class.

If you ask Mike at any time what goal he’s working towards, he always has an answer. Whether it’s gymnastics, weightlifting, or running, there’s always something he’s striving to accomplish. He’s an inspiration and we’re so lucky to have him a part of our 6S community!
