Hey Victory Gym! We are excited to announce our September Athlete of the Month! Please give it up for Taryn Lynch! Taryn was chosen as our Athlete of the month for many reasons but largely in part of her hard work and consistency to her health and fitness. Without a doubt, Taryn has been an example for everyone on how dedication and consistency really does pay off. She has seen significant gains and continues to get better with each day she puts work in. She isn’t afraid to try new skills and is willing to keep trying even when it is hard. All of these are incredible qualities to have in life and in your athleticism. Congratulations Taryn, we are proud of you!!
