Member profile May 2013

Is it May already!? Good lord time flies. We've been busy fitting new equipment in the gym and signing up a bunch of new summer members. Time to get beach fit! So, there was a couple of months hiatus in our Member of the Month feature, but now we''re back with a bang. Enjoy!

BodyShop: Please state your name for us.

Member: Billy

BodyShop: Do you live in Mammoth full time, seasonal or visiting? And how long have you been here?

Member: Full time.

BodyShop: What is your occupation?

Member: I'm a chef at Petra's.

BodyShop: How long have you been coming to The Body Shop?

Member: For almost two years now, as long as I've been in Mammoth.

BodyShop: How often do you work out and what’s your favorite time of day for working out?

Member: 4-6 days per week. I like the mornings the best, there are fewer young folk around at that hour.

BodyShop: What’s your favorite work out music?

Member: The music you play on Saturday and Sunday mornings, we seem to have the same taste in music. (Billy is referring to the slightly down tempo folk/alternative country/singer-songwriter mix I like to sneak in when people are barely awake on weekend mornings)

BodyShop: What other sports/recreational activities do you engage in?

Member: A lot. I rock and Ice climb, hiking, biking, trail running, sky diving, skiing, among other things.

BodyShop: Which are your favorite spots to do those things around Mammoth?

Member: I love this whole area, but the 7 lakes basin and Convict lake is beautiful. There is so much climbing around there and I do most of my trail running around there too.
 

BodyShop: What do you like best about The Body Shop Gym? 

Member: I like the clientele here, the intimate feel and friendliness of everyone. Oh, AND, the staff of course.
 
BodyShop: Finally, what is the one piece of workout gear you wear that should probably have been retired a long time ago? (oh, come on, you know you have at least one item like that)

Member: Oh my gosh! My green t-shirt, it stands up on its own. It now has some not so nice holes under the arms as well, so it’s getting to be unwearable. This is probably the first time you’ve seen me wearing this gray one actually.

Here's Billy, always a ray of sunshine.
We're thinking it might be that open door Jeep he drives all winter long
that puts this frozen in time perma-smile on his face. :P
