(LAKEWOOD RANCH, FL) – Mustangs are getting pumped for 2015… literally. Students are spending their time exercising and getting healthy.

Senior Britnee Pearson goes to Crossfit Havoc in Palmetto.

“I love the Crossfit program because it sets up healthy competition and focuses on correct form and completion,” she said, “not how long the W.O.D. (workout-of-the-day) takes you.”

Freshman Micky Koczersut prefers to stay on the LRHS campus to get his lifting in.

“I go to the weight room after school because I’d rather spend my time getting stronger than laying around doing nothing,” he said.

Sophomore Josh Apatow said, “I go to both the YMCA and Crunch Fitness because Crunch is more focused on weight training, but if i go to the YMCA then I can swim or play basketball, too.”

Junior Sage Wilkerson goes to Crunch Fitness.

“I always go to the 4:30a.m. class so I can have the equipment mostly to myself,” she said. “There’s some serious body builders there and they help me a lot by telling me what I can improve.”
