Athlete Profile – John Lui
You’ll usually find John at the morning and weekend classes at DCF. Just look for the guy with a smile on his face who’s willing to lend a hand to anyone who needs it. John holds the current DCF Cindy record with over 25 rounds and has probably run more miles than I’ve driven in a car.
What’s your athletic/fitness background?
