Athlete Shout Out

Cheers to 8 Years

ATHLETE SHOUT OUT: BRET SHAW

During college I was an All-American 12 oz curler, a pursuit I still enjoy from time to time. I really enjoy strength training and group exercise which works out great as a team member at Krave. In the last few years I have done a few obstacle course races and had a great time doing them. I plan on using the training we do at Krave to do a few more of them. I tend to enjoy the “curling” event after the races as well, anyone is welcome to join me!

Mark played soccer and football growing up, and has continued to play competitive soccer year-round for the last 20+ years. In his own words, Mark “wasn’t good enough to play soccer at Creighton (That’s like playing football at Notre Dame).” He currently plays in the central Iowa coed league, and he says they are always looking for more players, especially more females.

ATHLETE SHOUT OUT: PHI DANG

Phi Dang is an athlete at Krave Gym Waukee and has been a member since opening January 2019. Phi grew up here in Iowa after quote, “his family swam here from Vietnam when he was just 2 years old.” Phi grew into a bit of a troublemaker though, and as a result moved around quite a bit, attending 5 different high schools. He cleaned up his act and went on to college at Iowa State, and now works as an “Inside Sales Executive” at Arthur Gallagher, one of the largest insurance brokers in the world. To Phi, family is everything and he just recently became a father after his wife, Lannie, brought their baby boy, Tai, into the world.
