New Kid on the Block: Mr. Curtis

While half of the Champions Club went to Cecilia's soccer game a few weeks ago, none of us had the intention of leaving Oakland University with another Champions Club athlete... Wait, I already wrote that. Let's try it again. 

While half of the Champions Club went to Cecilia's soccer game a few weeks ago, none of us had the intention of leaving Oakland University with another-nother Champions Club athlete.

Mr. Curtis has had season tickets as a Champions Club spectator since November 2020 when Sam and Sarah first joined; his seats are right across the parking lot, backed into the 3rd spot, with a perfect view of the Monkey Exhibit on both running and inside workouts. He even provided donations of custom, home-made hot sauce to ensure he'd be allowed insider access to Monkey Drama. But in March he inexplicably allowed his subscription to lapse due to the fact that Sarah's got her driver's (Kuiper, is it plural or possessive?) license now. But tight hips work in mysterious ways.

At Cecilia's soccer game Mr. Curtis and I got to talking about... well... my topics of conversation are limited, so you can probably guess. What did you eat for breakfast? What have you been doing for mobility? How often are you sitting? The conversation didn't last particularly long, but it ended in him deciding to come in the following morning. And since May 23 the big fella has been absolutely dialed in! Low carbs, no alcohol, no cheat meals, sitting on the floor, and consistent attendance. 30-lbs. and a few handstands, squats, and deadlifts later, Mr. Curtis is officially part of the crew! Welcome to the Champions Club my man!

Ghosts of Champions Club past: Mr. Gjon. Definitely Mr. Gjon.
