Lori was one of our original members at RFM. She is always there to lend a helping hand to anyone whenever needed, and she loves to bring refreshing fruit to share with everyone after the WOD's. Her dedication and work ethic has resulted in huge strength and performance gains over the last year. All of her hard work was recently rewarded as she got her first muscle-up. Keep up the good work Lori!Name: Lori Kikuchi
