THE CALIBER OF PERSON AT CROSSFIT ABILENE.

CFA is a special place…any of you who have really invested time here know that.  The community is bulletproof, the coaching is unmatched, and the results are undeniable.  We have fun, we work hard, and we do things every day we never we didn’t know we were capable of.  With that, would you suppose it’s CrossFit Abilene that brings this out of people, or is it the people who bring it out of CrossFit Abilene?  There is a case to be made for both, but I can say with full confidence that there is much more credit that needs to be given to the latter.

Why am I so confident about this?  Because in academia, very few people study physics.  In music, only a small percentage play the cello.  And in pursuit of physical fitness and health, very few are willing to do what it takes to see the radical way that CrossFit can improve their lives.  Committed people do CrossFit.  Brave people do CrossFit.  People who push past temporary pain for lasting flourishing do CrossFit…and when you put those types of people in the same place day in and day out, great things happen.

All this to say, YOU ALL are that type of person.  I’m amazed every time a take a look at the white board and see the people that walk through our doors on a daily basis.  Thank you all for allowing us to be a part of your lives…you make CrossFit Abilene the special place that it is.
