Athlete of the Month: John Murphy Singletary

We’re excited to highlight John Murphy as May’s Athlete of the Month.

John Murphy is someone who has been part of this community before, back in his high school days, and after some time away, he is back in the gym and getting after it again. And it hasn’t taken long to see the impact of his consistency.

Since returning, John Murphy has been putting in steady work and stacking wins. Two big milestones stand out: completing the Rose City Run 10K and getting his double unders. Both huge accomplishments that reflect his effort and commitment.

But more than anything, it’s his attitude that stands out.

John shared this:

“I'm very grateful to be a part of the Townie community. Every time I go to the gym I feel like I'm just hanging out with my friends, and we just happen to be working out.”

That is exactly what we aim for… A place where you show up, work hard, and enjoy the people you’re doing it with.

His favorite verse is James 1:2 NIV:

“Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds.”

That perspective shows up in how he trains. He embraces the process, shows up consistently, and continues to improve.

John Murphy, we are glad to have you back. Keep showing up, keep putting in the work. We’re just getting started.
