Who He Is for OPEX South Brooklyn:
Francesco is the mastermind behind programming at our gym and is also an American hero. When he’s not lifting weights, doing BJJ or hanging out with his lab-mix Brooklyn (best name ever), he is the Athletic Director at Bay Ridge Prep. Although Francesco is quite possibly the nicest human being in the gym, don’t let that fool you, he served overseas in Afghanistan while serving with the U.S. Navy and is a certified badass. The best part of all of this is that he and June are also engaged! #RelationshipGoals
“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”
