MEMBER SPOTLIGHT: Brent Lancon
Brent Lancon has been married to Monique Lagrange Lancon for 36 years. They have two children, Rachelle and Ross, along with two beautiful and active granddaughters, Marion and Eleaner. Brent retired in 2023 after working at Cabot Corporation for 35 years. Since retiring, travel plays a large part in their plans. Brent and Monique are also big supporters of Hanson Memorial and St John Schools.
Brent turned his son’s bedroom into his workout room when he left for college. P90X was his workout of choice to stay in shape and completing triathlons allowed him to take advantage of his competitive nature. He then began looking for something different and Bayou Bend Fitness Center opened its doors at the “perfect time.” Brent says, “God is Good!”
Call Brent a “nooner”. He enjoys participating in daily noon classes. Brent says, “The camaraderie among the class is great. I look forward to all my classes because they are all different and fun.” He also mentions that all the class instructors are awesome.
Since attending Bayou Bend Fitness, Brents states his clothes fit better - “tighter in places where you would like tight and looser where you would want them to fit loose.”
His current goals include staying fit and active along with having balance and flexibility as long as possible. Being positive is included in his list of his current goals.
Brent’s favorite prayer: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and grant me the wisdom to know the difference.
Summer Jumpstart Challenge
Why should you sign up for small group training (SGT)? Small group training consists of one personal trainer working with a group of four to eight clients. Keeping the group to an 8-person maximum allows the personal trainer to build a connection with each individual while also giving proper attention to individual participant safety, form, and alignment. Learn how to use free weights, weight machines, and cardiovascular machines on BBFC's versatile fitness floor.
Please inquire at the front desk (337) 413- 5106 for availability!
