At Bulldog Gym, we’re not just about lifting weights and hitting the treadmill. We’re a family, a group of individuals dedicated to supporting each other on our fitness journeys. And at the heart of this community is Randal Lane, our esteemed Fit Camp coach.
Randal’s journey to Bulldog Gym began in 2022 when he, alongside his wife Rena’ and two daughters, made the move to the Jasper County/Jackson Lake area full-time. With a passion for fitness and a desire to share his expertise with others, Randal quickly found his place within our gym family.
But Randal’s fitness journey didn’t start recently. It’s been a lifelong pursuit of health and wellness. Over a decade ago, at the age of 40, Randal made a commitment to “getting fit.” He dove headfirst into competitive 5K running and sprint/olympic distance triathlons, where he showcased his impressive athleticism by ranking 2nd in the state of Georgia in the “Clydesdale” weight division.
However, when knee issues limited his ability to run, Randal didn’t let it deter him. Instead, he pivoted to competitive Crossfit, where he found a new avenue to excel. His dedication and hard work paid off as he qualified for and competed in the 2014 Masters Division Global Crossfit Games, earning the title of one of the Top 20 fittest men in the world in the 45 – 49 age group.
But Randal’s journey didn’t stop there. In 2015, he continued to impress, finishing 21st in the world in the 45 – 49 age group as part of the Crossfit Games qualifying process. Later, he secured an impressive 3rd place in the National Granite Games CrossFit competition in Minnesota.
With previous certifications in Masters Crossfit training, Olympic Lifting, and L1 Crossfit Coaching, Randal brings a wealth of expertise to his role as our Fit Camp coach. But more than that, he brings a passion for helping others reach their fitness goals. Randal is known for his knowledge, encouragement, and unwavering dedication to his students.
Here at Bulldog Gym, we’re incredibly fortunate to have Randal as part of our team. He embodies the spirit of our community and continues to inspire and empower our members every day. So the next time you’re in Fit Camp, be sure to give a shoutout to Randal. After all, he’s not just our coach; he’s a true fitness champion.
Join us in celebrating Randal’s dedication and passion for coaching as we strive for greatness together!
