Don Perez

Each month the team at YAX selects a star athlete. This athlete truly embodies our core values with perseverance and accountability at the forefront.

Our December Athlete of the Month is Don! We’d like to give a shout out to Don for consistently bringing his hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm into the studio every week.

1. How long have you been practicing/training at Yoga Athletex?

I started at Yoga Athletex in early 2019 when my job moved from The Woodlands to the west side of Houston.⁠

2. What benefits have you received since training at Yoga Athletex?

⁠I’ve seen substantial benefits. My weight dropped by 12 pounds. My BMI dropped from 24 to 21 and my visceral fat levels have dropped substantially.

3. What is your sport/activity outside of the studio?

Distance running.⁠

4. What is your favorite class at Yoga Athletex and why?

I enjoy the 60 minute yoga class on Monday evenings. It helps reset me for the rest of the week.  I love the way Elizabeth plans and executes the classes. She never gives exactly the same class twice.  I also look forward to seeing the other attendees.  I feel like a member of a yoga community.⁠

5. Any advice for new people trying out the studio?

You will search a long time to find a nicer, more supportive environment to train. The addition of the live online classes is a differentiator.
