Participant Best of All: Jimmie Warren Jr.

Jimmie Warren Jr. has been a continual fun-loving, helpful and determined presence across all the adult programs he has recently participated in. Whether it is during Saturday programs in GiGiFIT Adult and GiGi’s Kitchen Adult, or in the long-running Thursday evening Fantastic Friends Program. Jimmie is consistently one of the first participants to arrive (often excitedly getting to the Playhouse before the program leads!). He is always ready to help set up tables, lay out exercise mats, and kick off warm-ups with enthusiasm. Jimmie is instrumental in being the best he can be every week in GiGi’s Signature Programs. Jimmie’s courteous and respectful interactions with younger participants & his adult peers alike, set a wonderful example for everyone in the Playhouse and serves as a motivation for Jimmie to lead by example.

Recently, Jimmie has made many strides in GiGiFIT Adult by pushing himself to set personal bests in various exercises including sit-ups, improving lower body & hip strength with a personal bests in chair/ ball sit & stand exercises, as well as improving core strength with push-ups and planks, eclipsing this summers personal bests.

In GiGi’s Kitchen Adult, Jimmie brings a natural love for cooking, especially when it comes to measuring and mixing ingredients with care and excitement. No matter the activity, he leads with joyful exuberance by filling the room with encouraging high-fives, handshakes, and warm hugs that make every program a welcoming and uplifting space.

For this reason we celebrate Jimmie!
