1. What (who) brought you to Reign?
My sister Erin Cruz told me about Reign. She invited me to join her and after that first workout I told myself that I was about to compete at the crossfit games. I'm still a few years out from that goal, but you know...
One day I'll be ready to compete.
2. Why did you decide to participate in Movember?
I thought it would be fun to put myself out there and try to help raise money for a good cause. I also think that this will kick start my facial hair goal of getting a handle bar mustache.
3. What is the most significant change - whether social, physical, mental…you have experienced since you have been at Reign?
My most significant change has been mental...
I thought that results would come quick, but I found out that it's truly a process and there's no way around it. You have to get up and grind at the gym, then make right choices outside of it.
4. Tell us a little about yourself. What's a Day In The Life of Jon?
A normal day would consist of me getting up at 4am to get that reign fit workout it with Coach Willie and the crew. Then I drop off my son to preschool, get in a few hours of hanging out with my 1 year old daughter and mother-in-law.
After picking up my son, we go to grandma and grandpa's house (my parents) for lunch then hang out there for a little bit. After, we head home and wait for my wife Aileen to come home for unwind time and dinner.
Then start the night time "routine" called getting little ones to bed. The nights I work though, I wait for Aileen to come home then I'm out the door and she and my mother-in-law hold it down with the two little ones.
5. Share your favorite memory so far at Reign.
My favorite memories are the times that Coach Albert comes to 5am class and somehow manages to find a space in-between me and others in my little corner of the gym to give me and whoever is unlucky enough to be around (normally Sharmy) a little extra morning motivation.
6. What are your goals or aspirations leading into the New Year?
To be better than the year before. I want to continue to grow whether professionally, physically, and as a person.
Specifically relating to Reign, I want to get better with my conditioning and not be that dude lying down after the WOD cause I'm done. I want to be able to go another round.
7. First CD you bought & Favorite Movie of all time...
First CD was a CD single, Broken hearted - Brandy and Wanya Morris. That title lets you know exactly what I was going through in like middle school. I've been loving slow jams ever since.
Favorite movie....That's tough, but I have to go with Coming to America, classic film.
