How This 6th Degree Aikido Black Belt Stays Fit At Fit2Live.

This is Rodger.

He is our newest member to make the 2250 class club at Fit2Live.

He also happens to be a 6th degree black belt in Aikido on top of all of the functional fitness he has developed.

Rodger’s Fit2Live Story

Rodger first got his start at Fit2Live back in 2013.

Since then, he’s been a consistent example of what long-term dedication to health and fitness actually looks like.

If you’ve ever worked out alongside Rodger, you know exactly what kind of athlete and person he is.

He shows up, works hard and brings a quiet focus and discipline to every class he attends.

No hype needed, just effort.

Fitness With a Purpose

Outside of the gym, Rodger puts his fitness to use in a seriously impressive way.

Rodger is a 6th degree black belt in Aikido and the principal instructor and owner of Huron Valley Aikikai, where he teaches both adults and kids the art and discipline of this Japanese martial art.

For Rodger, training at Fit2Live has always been about staying in “fighting trim.”

Building the strength, endurance, and resilience needed to continue practicing and teaching Aikido at a high level.

That’s what we love about this milestone. It’s not just training for training’s sake. It’s training that supports what matters most in his life.

What 2250 Classes Really Means

Over the years, Rodger has poured thousands of workouts’ worth of effort into his health and fitness.

The result is something special:

More than 2,250 classes of consistency, discipline, and hard work.

This is what people miss when they only think about fitness in terms of short-term results.

Rodger’s story is proof that fitness isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about investing in your health year after year — because it pays you back in every part of your life.

Rodger Leads by Example

Rodger is the kind of member who leads by example.

He reminds everyone around him that:

Fitness isn’t about perfection. It isn’t about being “motivated.” It’s about showing up, consistently, for a long time.

That’s exactly what he’s done.

Way to go on 2250 classes strong — and we can’t wait to watch you keep rolling toward the 2500 Class Club next. 👊
