New York, NY
Jack’s fitness odyssey began almost a decade ago. Now 10 years later and 80 pounds lighter, he’s done a little (or a lot) of everything: weightlifting, kettlebells, CrossFit, yoga, boxing, and most recently, Brazilian jiu jitsu and kung fu (he’ll even run the occasional 5K if the weather is nice). Whatever the next challenge is, Jack says “bring it.”
Interests: Brazilian jiu jitsu, CrossFit, camping, cooking, lifting

Archery: Beyond 'The Hunger Games'
With the rise of blockbusters like The Hunger Games and The Avengers, archery ranges and outfitters across the country have experienced renewed popularity. Inspired by Katniss Everdeen, countless kids (and some adults!) are learning to draw and fire bows of all kinds.
