Member Profile: Dean Bartels

BATON ROUGE— Meet Dean Bartels! Dean, 46, works as a full-time banker, and juggles his schedule around the busy lives of his wife and children. Dean joined LA Boxing in May 2011 with a goal to get fit.

Fitness goals: I joined LA Boxing to get in better cardiovascular shape. My father died of a heart attack at 64 years old, and I want to be there for my kids. I also love to eat, so I’m making an effort to eat clean. I also joined to lose weight and to lower my stress level.

Motivational tips: I make a schedule where I come to the gym at least 3-4 times a week, and I stick to it. I coordinate my schedule with my wife’s, and my two kids who are in gymnastics, soccer, basketball, and track. I make time so I can be here for that full hour of class. I pack my gym back and keep it in my car on the days I’ve scheduled to be at the gym.
