A prototype of the month certificate for greg cusate

The criteria and standards that we look for when our team puts in their nominations for  Prototype of the month are Coachability, Caring, and Community and in our opinion, Greg encompasses all three of those qualities handily. Congratulations Greg!

1.) Share your experience at Prototype

Joining prototype has been one of the best choices I have made. I feel stronger, more confident, and healthier than I have in the last 10 years. Learning how to strength train correctly is such an important skill to know. I’m making sure my kids learn early in order to set them up for a healthy lifestyle.

2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype?

The people. Everyone is friendly and supportive. The coaches are always willing to help and answer questions.

3.) What are your hobbies and activities?

In Winter you can find me on the ski slopes at Loon Mountain. I’m working on getting back into playing soccer more regularly. Past that, I’m always with my kids for their numerous activities.

4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you?

Knee pain, I was training for triathlons before joining prototype. The long runs were causing a great deal of knee pain. Since I scaled back the running and focus ed on strength training and CrossFit, my knee pain is gone .

 

5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point?

Currently I am working to find a soccer team in order to play more regularly. I’m also focussing more on correcting my diet in order to drop a few pounds.

Thank you for being you — you truly deserve to be our August POM! 1.) Share your experience at Prototype. Joining Prototype was one of the best decisions I have made in my fitness journey.

A big shout out to all the coaches who are top tier, the workouts are constantly varied but always effective.I have hit the strength goals I never thought possible. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? Prototype’s tight knit community is unique. It has taught me that showing up, even on tough days, builds more than just muscle- it builds grit and community. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I love dancing - it is one of my happy spaces. I am a homebody- love to spend time at home with family and friends. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? I was inconsistent with fitness and struggled to stay motivated. I needed a structured way to build resilience. The Prototype community has helped me push through self doubt. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? My goal is to keep pushing my limits. I am not just chasing goals, I am excited to see how far I can go and just keep hitting the PR’s on the way 😀 6.)
