When did you attend your first workout with Arlington Sports Conditioning, and how did you first learn about the group?

“Pushups, relay runs, bleachers, and alligator walks with sliders.”
What is your favorite workout song or musical artist?

What is your favorite sports team?
“I’m a die-hard New York sports fan: Yankees, Rangers, Giants, and Knicks.”

What do you like best about Arlington Sports Conditioning? What are the biggest benefits you have experienced?
“It all starts with Pete. The community that he has started and maintained continues to thrive because of his commitment and dedication to the people involved. He provides well-thought out workouts in a friendly and warm environment. On Saturdays, we introduce ourselves prior to the workout so that you have a chance to put names to faces. That’s a great touch. ASC has made me faster, stronger and fitter, all of which have improved, and continue to improve, my life. And the friends I’ve made.. wow, just awesome.”
What advice would you offer to new or prospective members of Arlington Sports Conditioning?
“Get involved, work hard, have fun and always remember why you started. Joining ASC was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. It can be for you too.”
