A prototype of the month certificate for jaryd belanger

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, Jaryd encompasses all three of those qualities handily. Congratulations Jaryd!

1.) Share your experience at Prototype:

I started at Prototype back in 2015 with 2 friends that were already members, Donny and Rachel. I instantly felt at home and loved the coaches and community, and remained a member for a year or so before leaving. In January of 2021 I was mentally and physically in need of a change and Jon was my first call. I did 1 on 1 training with Jon for a year because I just couldn’t hold myself accountable and was just in a low place mentally. Not only did Jon help me with my strength and accountability, he really helped me mentally by listening and helping me out of this rut i was in. I’m now able to hold myself accountable and enjoy coming in everyday!

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

Easy, the coaches, fellow members and the community I’ve become a part of.

3.) What are your hobbies and activities? 

Mountain biking, track days in my car, road trips and traveling.

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

I outlined that in the first question, but beyond helping me get back to the person I wanted to be, it has really helped me be a more productive person in my personal and professional life.

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

To stay consistent in the gym, continue to get stronger and hopefully get my diet consistent.

6.) Favorite Quote:

“Treat others as you want to be treated.”

Tim has been an incredible part of our community — always positive, funny, generous, and willing to help. His energy makes everyone around him better. Prototype of the Month is well deserved! Below he answers some questions about his time at PTS. 1.) Share your experience at Prototype This actually isn’t my first stint at Prototype - I’ve been around and worked out here a few times in my heyday. My very first legitimate class though, as a member, was 5am earlier this year and I was welcomed first by Nicole. You can all imagine how that interaction went… and I came back! Prototype is welcoming, fun, clean, and I’ve made amazing friends along the way. It is one of the best hours of my day. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? Prototype is not just another workout but a mental reset for me, it fills my cup. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? Activities mostly involve time with my family outside whenever we can, trips to Ptown and traveling all over for work. I have a hard time sitting still and typically keep a busy schedule. Mix in photography and interior design opportunities with fitness and family and I’d say that's my perfect mix. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? I work remotely so in person face to face conversation is something I’ve found I need for my mental health. I’m also super competitive so I tend to push a little harder when I workout with others. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? I want to be a parent who can show up for their kids in every aspect of life, which also means physically. Staying fit is important to be able to keep up with them as we collectively get older. I am training for a few Hyrox races coming up but mostly just trying to maintain my current level of fitness for as long as possible. 6.)
