Fringe Sport gear:  Squat rack, Wonder bar, 260 pound contrast Bumper plate set, 25 pound milspec plates , Small and large sandbags, Plyo box, Adjustable bench, 35, 53 and 70 pound kettlebells, Mercury Push Pull sled, and Fight Gone Bad timer.

When did you become part of the Fringe Fam? What was your first Fringe purchase?
I became part of the Fringe Fam in 2018 with almost all my Fringe gear purchased all at once with the help of Lauren P (the best!).

What's your favorite gear that you use all the time?
I think my go to is the squat rack and barbell. With just those two things, and some weight of course, you can accomplish anything!

What gear do you never use?
I think the only thing in my gym that doesn't get the use it should would be my plyo box. After getting 11 staples in my shin after missing a jump a few years ago I've been pretty apprehensive to use it.

What was your best gear purchase?
Fringe Sport bumpers!!! They quality and value of them plus the fact that you can drop the 10s makes them a smart buy!

What gear purchase do you wish you would have said "NO" to?
I've been smart with my purchases so there is nothing I regret or wish that I said no to.

What's your favorite workout?
I come up with my own programming so I enjoy them all but my go to is usually a long metcon with near equal parts of work and rest.

What's the best advice you've ever received?
Hold yourself accountable for your fitness or lack of!

What advice would you give to newbie garage gymmers?
Buy enough gear right out of the gate to keep you motivated and not bored!
The initial outlay may sting but in the end it will be worth it!
