October Fusion Athlete: Kyle Infante

Whether you’ve been an athlete your entire life, or you are new to fitness, Dane’s Body Shop welcomes you with open arms (and a kettlebell in each hand). October Fusion Athlete Kyle Infante had little fitness experience before joining the DBS community, and look at him now! He’s setting PRs left and right! On top of that, Kyle brings outstanding energy to each and every workout!

Great work, Kyle!

What is your fitness background?

I really haven’t had much of a fitness background. I always talked about how I wanted to start getting in shape and doing something active, but never did anything until last year when I started distance running. Then I had heard so many great things about the Shop and decided I’d try it out for myself. Since then, I’ve been hooked.

You have so much fun in class! What is your attitude when approaching a challenging workout?

I try to stay as present as possible. I don’t think ahead about how many rounds or reps are coming; I do my best to focus on that rep and enjoy the momentum of everyone else working out around me. And when all else fails, I get into the music playing.

What are you doing when you are not at the Shop?

I tend to stay busy. Whether I’m working, doing something outdoors, or trying new restaurants with friends, I like to be out and about.

What has been your biggest accomplishment since joining the Shop?

First and foremost, doing a strict pull-up. Before coming to the Shop, I didn’t have much upper body strength and felt weak. But during Strength Week, I set a PR for front squat at 235!

What fitness goals have you set for yourself in the future?

I’d like to continue increasing my PRs for push press and strict press, and I’m very interested in joining the Strength Team.

You have attended our Free Picnik Boot Camp on Sundays. What do you like about this off-site workout?

I love the fast pace and the intensity. Trevor makes sure we’re constantly moving and keeps us all excited about the work out. Plus, you can’t go wrong with butter coffee after.

What do you tell your friends about the place you go and get sweaty at every week?

I tell them that I love it and it’s changed my life. Before coming to the Shop, I was sedentary and never stepped foot into a gym. Now I find myself talking about Dane’s regularly and I recommend it to anyone who asks. I’ve also been known to check-in consistently on Facebook.

If you could pick 5 songs to play in class, what would they be?

– Anything Beyonce, specifically “***Flawless,” the ***Flawless remix or “’Yonce”
– “Monster” – Kanye West, Rick Ross, Jay Z, Nicki Minaj
– “3 Kings” – Slim Thug, Bun B, T.I.
