Mike Collette • August 2, 2023

A man and a woman are standing next to each other in a gym.

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, Juan and Melina encompass all three of those qualities handily. Congratulations, Juan and Melina!

From the very first day, we were warmly welcomed by a team with a great sense of humor and a willingness to always give their best. The coaches are highly attentive to their athletes, and PROTOTYPE is an excellent facility for training.

The trainings are designed to enhance daily skills and knowledge. This program is excellent, and the activities are enjoyable to share with family.

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

The Prototype has been a great asset to our daily lives. The 7 am class is committed to our well-being and always provides us with the best possible care. In terms of workouts, they offer excellent guidance to help us improve each day.

July Prototype of the Month: Kathy Bridge

By Mike Collette • July 3, 2025
Kathy has been an amazing member of the PTS community for 12 years and an incredible part of our community. Here, she shares her journey with Prototype. Thank you for being you — you truly deserve to be our July POM! 1.) Share your experience at Prototype I love Prototype. I knew Mike and Brian from BSC and Mike approached me one day, saying that he thought I would really love a crossfit workout. Naturally, I thought he was out of his mind. I have loved every minute of my time for the past 12 years. 2.) What is your favorite part about being at Prototype? The community. No matter what class I take, everyone is warm and welcoming. It isn’t always easy to walk into a new class, at Prototype that is never an issue for me. 3.) What are your hobbies and activities? I love to travel. I enjoy hiking, walking, tennis and swimming. 4.) How has Prototype helped you or solved a problem for you? When I am at Prototype, I can block out the noise of the world around me and just breathe. 5.) What are you continuing fitness goals to this point? My dad lived until 101.5 years old. He always did some form of exercise and it paid off for him. My goals are to continue to be active, get on the floor with my grandchildren and be able to get up. I really feel that exercising is akin to making a deposit for the future. There will come a time when I will have to make some withdrawals, and I want to have enough deposits to cover those withdrawals. 6.)
