Last week I lost a good friend, Joe Callahan. I first met Joe 2 years ago when a trainer friend sent him over to me because of some arm pain he was having. After that first meeting I got to know him better and talked and trained with him at Cardinal fitness many times over the past two years. I regularly scheduled my workouts (when I could) to coincide with the times he was in the gym – he was great to talk to and I always learned something new whenever I saw him. He had a way of getting the most out of you in the gym.
Joe trained a number of other guys at the gym and as a testament to his knowledge and coaching you can see him coaching Devon McCord at the APA meet this spring when Devon set a new Illinois state Deadlift record.
Joe was always an inspiration to me with his dedication to training and his approach to life.
