Stockyard

The Deloglos family is a fixture within our community, each of them bringing something very special to our SY family. The first Deloglos family member through our doors was one of the daughters, Stephenia, and not long after she had urged her entire family to join. Stephenia had shared her dad’s story with me some time ago and I have to remind myself of his starting spot often, because he continues to knock down PRs on the regular.

“Two years ago Chris Deloglos could barely get out of bed. All his joints hurt excruciatingly, and he had no energy. This began a long journey of doctors, diet and rest. He could barely function and physically wasn’t able to get out of bed. His cholesterol was high and he had hypertension. In order to avoid having to take medications and in hopes of decreasing inflammation he went on a strict diet. Right before Covid his kids convinced him to join Stockyard. By then Chris was able to function but had not started physical activity again. He still suffered with fatigue and joint pain. During Stockyard’s virtual classes Chris was faithful to join almost every day. The coaches gave him modification after modification. As he got stronger he was able to do the exercises and began to feel better. He has truly shocked the whole family by doing exercises like box jumps and rope climbs. Beginning during Covid, Stockyard was a family activity and still is. The whole family has participated (minus one daughter who lives out of town). Today he has energy, is having to do less modifications in workouts and seeing himself get stronger. His cholesterol levels have dropped drastically, and he is on his way to fully being off of antihypertensives. He will be the first to tell you that anyone can join the family at stockyard regardless of age or physical activity.”

We are pretty dang proud of Chris. When his daughter Stephenia encouraged him to start coming to SY, she admittedly never imagined he would be doing the things he is in here doing today! Speaking of, Chris walked on his hands today for the first time in his life! GO CHRIS!!! 🏆💪💙💚

We are so lucky to have Sarah as a big part of our Stockyard Family and Coaching Team where she spreads her wealth of knowledge and passion for weightlifting with our athletes, but first and foremost Sarah is an athlete herself. As a SoCal Weightlifting athlete, Sarah has spent the better part of this year in preparation for this stage. She invests tremendous effort in perfecting her craft guided by her weightlifting coaches, , and her family. She is coached by some of the very best in weightlifting and I’m certain that she is making them all proud out there on the platform. I know we couldn’t be prouder of her.
