Willy van Gent G2 Cycling - Team Captain.
Is an anesthetist currently practicing anesthesia in a outpatient surgery center in Boynton Beach, Florida. His interest in physical fitness began with competitive swimming as a child in Holland. At age 15, he became intensely active in body-building and went on to compete in “natural” (drug Free) contest. His interest in fitness expanded after he moved to the U.S. when he became a certified aerobics and spinning instructor. He has competed in the YMCA masters Nationals in swimming and raced in many triathlons. In 2006 he became more interested in competitive road cycling and started the G2 Cycling Race Team and Club. After a bad crash in a Criterium race on 3/28/09 breaking his collarbone and four ribs he decided not to race the rest of the season. Instead he set up G2 triathlon relay teams and participate in the TT part of the race. He is considering to continue Master road racing in 2010.
While working as a nurse anesthetist in the hospital, Willy realized that many surgeries and illnesses he encountered every day could have been prevented. He became frustrated about people’s general lack of knowledge about wellness and healthy lifestyles, so he became a certified Wellness Coach in 2008 in order to directly help people and friends reach their health goals. He was involved with the Preventive-Aging practice with his wife Amy van Gent MD during the last 3 years of their marriage until September 2009. After their separation he continues to enjoy giving advice about training, healthy lifestyles and supplements to all his friends and G2 members.
The Cycling Team/Club
The club has grown to over 50 active members and continues to increase. Members represent differentcycling levels, everywhere from competitive riders who compete in races throughout Florida, to those who ride to challenge themselves and enjoy the camaraderie of the group. Some have triathlon backgrounds, others have competed in cycling races for years, and some are relatively new to the sport.
Willy especially enjoys encouraging less experienced riders and giving them a chance to grow into racing. The Team/Club is open to men and women of average to advanced cycling abilities. They meet for training rides alone or with other organized groups at least four times a week. They meet for big cycling event such as MS ride and Kids in distress ride have parties or after a casual club ride enjoy breakfast together.
