🎉 Happy 5-Year Anniversary, Bonnie! 🎉

Today we celebrate Bonnie Mann and her 5 years with us here at Jim’s Gym in Elmira! From day one, Bonnie has brought her energy, passion, and commitment to both our boxing program and our members.

Her dedication to our community and to helping people grow stronger inside and out is what makes her such a valued part of our team.

Happy 2-Year Anniversary, Cristian! 🎉
Time flies when you have great people on your team! Cristian Lau joined Jim’s Gym two years ago from another facility with a goal of becoming a coach and personal trainer—and he’s done exactly that and more.

From the boxing ring to the gym floor, Cristian walks the walk. He quickly went from coaching classes to becoming a full-time personal trainer, bringing unmatched dedication to his clients and his craft.

Outside the gym, Cristian is a proud family man with a wonderful wife and two kids. We’re truly lucky to have him as part of the Jim’s Gym family. Here’s to many more years of success! 💪

Big shoutout to Quentin today — it's not just his birthday, it's also his one-year anniversary as a personal trainer here at Jim’s Gym!

Quentin first walked through our doors as a member back on February 23, 2012, and it didn’t take long for him to make an impression. He quickly became a standout in our CrossFit program and went on to compete in both Olympic weightlifting and CrossFit competitions — always leading by example.

But beyond the athlete, Quentin is one of the most genuine, caring, and humble people I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. He’s not just part of the team — he’s a friend. And truly, one of the best.

If you see him today, be sure to wish him a happy birthday and congratulate him on his work anniversary!

Here’s to you, Quentin — we’re lucky to have you.

The City will be milling and paving Baldwin and Dickinson starting tomorrow, Tuesday and going through Wednesday.

We will have one lane in and out of the gym, so plan for some slight delays.

We're excited that we're getting a new road!

Greg Gleason joined Jim’s Gym as a member in August 2023 and quickly became an enthusiastic part of our boxing program. Since then, he’s brought a unique and uplifting energy to the gym—not only as a valued member of our front desk staff and a dedicated boxing coach, but also as a friend to many in our community.

Greg has an inspiring personal story that he shared in a recent episode of the Not For Air podcast with Scott and Ally on Wink 106. If you haven’t had a chance to hear it yet, we highly recommend giving it a listen on your favorite podcast platform—or check out the YouTube version here https://youtu.be/KcmsIegDK4U?si=KvM4V-KfkPQpFb1g

We’re lucky to have Greg on the team!
