Meet John T! An Iron Boot OG. You can find John at the noon class almost everyday of the week. Just look for the guy with lots of plates on his bar. John joined IB in 2016 to get ready for a mission trip to Nepal. He successfully hiked 22 miles through 3 villages, and has returned to Nepal 8 times since then. His fitness journey, however, didn’t start at the boot. In junior high, he started training for football, ran track, and was a powerlifter at Alexandria Senior High. After high school, it took about five years to get a consistent routine, but he finally locked in attending the gym regularly and a lifestyle of fitness commenced! He began with lifting, then added running, mountain and road biking, and triathlons!

“My father’s side of the family has a bad history of heart disease. My dad was the youngest of seven brothers and all of them had heart attacks by age 48. I have been battling to stay as healthy as possible and get regular checkups and bloodwork done to do everything I can to prevent that from happening to me. I am a CPA and spend way too much time sitting-noon class has been perfect for me to get active during the day, relieve stress and manage energy.” - John

John has challenged himself by running several half marathons and five full marathons, competed in mountain bike and road races, and done triathlons at sprint, Olympic, half Ironman and completed a full Ironman three times.

He said “In the future I’m just trying to stay ahead of old age!! I want to be able to do physical stuff with grandkids and be around to see them grow up!”

You’re on the right track, Mr. John, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds for you. Thanks for being a part of Iron Boot and setting the bar high for us!
