Lucas first discovered Muay Thai when he found himself growing bored with regular weightlifting. After a friend who trained in the sport encouraged him to try a session at Strike Studio, he quickly became hooked and has been locked in ever since. What stands out most to Lucas about Muay Thai is the strong sense of community, the support from the coaches, and the overall fitness it provides. He credits the coaches as a major reason he continues to show up, while the welcoming environment makes him feel right at home. Outside of the gym, Lucas enjoys snowboarding and has a passion for graffiti/street art. “It shall pass”, which came from his first snowboarding coach, reminding him that tough times are temporary and things will always get better.
