Energy’s MGM

When Energy Pilates & Fitness’, Lance Corporal Michael G. Medina was asked to write a bio for the Energy website he said, “I don’t know what to say… can’t we just say, I’m a nice guy?” and that would have been an accurate description of this humble, unassuming former Marine; but we didn’t think it would do him justice.

With all the stories that are heard of military vets returning home feeling disenfranchised or with battle scares, we wanted to highlight this Marine’s re-entry.  After enlisting in the USMC at the age of 17, 2 tours in Afghanistan, Michael returned home: safe and sound.  No matter where Michael was deployed, no matter how far around the world he served, Michael didn’t forget who he was, or where his roots were.  Michael is a proud Minnesotan who was born and raised in Woodbury; his parents instilled our Great State’s work ethic and dedication for what we believe in.  Michael choose to serve, protect and defend our country and it’s liberties; and when he returned home it was with a sense of accomplishment and pride in what he had done.

Michael is no different than any other veteran who has served in our country’s military: they give of themselves and put themselves in harm’s way, so we don’t have to.  Today we spotlight and salute Lance Corporal Michael G. Medina so that we can help put a name and a face to these individuals who make our lives safer. 

We see Michael everyday at Energy and sometimes forget what his life use to be because he has become one of our team and he gives of his time so freely; but that's who he is…
