Coach Brandon’s take: “It’s always great to see Mauricio at the gym because he always has a smile on his face even after a tough workout. He has really good stamina and knows how to keep pushing during a workout, which is why he usually has one of the time scores on the whiteboard. We are so thankful to have Mauricio and his family at No Excuses CrossFit!”
