New Interns and 90-Day Coaching Boot Camp

Mike Collette • May 19, 2023

We would like to welcome back two interns, Abbie Lussier and Gaby Baker! They will be a part of our 90-day coaching boot camp, so if you see them around say hi! Below are their bios to get to know them a little better!

Abbie Lussier:

Abbie graduated from Blackstone Valley Technical High School and is now studying Exercise Science at Springfield College. She is also minoring in Athletic Coaching. Abbie has a background in soccer, having played for her high school and a club team. She was voted captain of her high school soccer team and received the unsung hero award from her teammates. In college, Abbie excelled in strength and conditioning, earning the title of Strength and Conditioning Athlete of the Year and serving as Vice President of her college club team. Abbie is also a competitive dancer and acrobat, winning numerous national awards and becoming an individual national champion in her senior year. Through her sports experiences, Abbie has developed a strong passion for leadership and coaching. She has been training at Prototype since 2019 and looks forward to applying her knowledge and skills in her future coaching endeavors.

Her hobbies are, hanging out with friends, working out, dancing, doing flips, and playing soccer!

“I am very excited to learn and grow as a coach through this experience!”

“Everyone at Prototype is so welcoming, I can’t wait to build relationships with them!”

Gaby Baker:

Gaby graduated from Grafton High School and is now studying Biology with a concentration in Physiology at Emmanuel College. She is a goalkeeper on the women’s soccer team there as well. Of all the sports teams at Emmanuel, her team had the second highest combined GPA! With her major, she is hoping to become a personal trainer or sports performance coach. She has been coming to Prototype since she was in eighth grade, so around 6 years now! Last year she interned here, and was put in charge of a lot of administrative work. Having that role allowed her to develop better leadership skills as well as better communication skills. She hope to be able to expand on those skills as she take on this internship! She has also been coaching at the Nike Soccer Camps for the past 3 years, going on 4. This summer she has been given the opportunity to take on a higher role at the Nike camps, where she also hopes to expand and develop new skills.

Her hobbies are working out, hanging out with friends and family, and playing soccer.

“I’m so excited to be back at Prototype this year!”

“I can’t wait to work with all of the coaches again, and gain a new perspective”

“I am excited to meet as many people as possible during this internship!”

Sharang is a standout part of the Prototype community—steady, positive, and always putting in the work—and his commitment to consistency, camaraderie, and long-term progress makes him a perfect example of what PTS is all about. Below he answers some questions and shares his experience. Share your experience at Prototype—favorite memories, moments, or stories or what’s your favorite part/what do you look forward to? What stands out most about Prototype is the camaraderie. The members, especially in the 7AM and Noon classes, create a great balance of fun and focus. Everyone is friendly and supportive, but when it’s time to work, people take the WODs seriously and push themselves to improve. That combination can be hard to find. All the coaches play a huge role in setting that tone. My favorite moments are the everyday ones i.e. showing up, putting in the work together, leaving class feeling accomplished. What I look forward to most is continuing to train alongside people who genuinely enjoy the process and want to get better. “Because summer’s coming.” Who at Prototype has made the biggest impact on you and why? As a dad of two young daughters, the people who’ve made the biggest impact on me at Prototype are the women in the gym. They all train with confidence, strength, consistency and set a powerful example. It’s the kind of environment I hope my daughters grow up seeing where strength is normal and earned. What are your hobbies and activities outside the gym? I dabble a bit in photography, star gazing and love to travel. Playing atrocious golf. How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? Prototype has helped me stay active. There’s a real sense of happiness and accomplishment after each workout, and that feeling has become addictive in the best way. Knowing I’ll leave class feeling stronger, physically and mentally, keeps me coming back. Prototype has turned working out from something I should do into something I genuinely want to do, which has made a huge difference in maintaining a sustainable fitness routine. What are your current fitness goals? Steady progress and longevity. If I can keep lifting, moving well, and feeling good years from now, I’ll consider that a win. I hope my future self will thank my present self. Favorite Quote If you can’t explain it simply you don't understand it well enough.

Prototype has helped enormously with my level of anxiety, I was really struggling when we first moved into town, the community and workouts at Prototype have been a life saver for my mental health.
