A NEW CHAPTER FOR CFPG ❤️
Today, I get to share something that is incredibly special to me…
I am officially the new owner of CrossFit Punta Gorda.
This is a moment that I am incredibly proud of, but even more than that, it is a moment that I am incredibly grateful for.
CrossFit Punta Gorda has never just been a gym to me. It’s a community. It’s a place where people show up for themselves, push through hard things, celebrate victories, pick each other up, laugh together, and become family.
And to every single one of our members THANK YOU!
I truly could not have made it to this point without your support, encouragement, trust, and belief in me. You have supported me through this entire journey, and I hope you know how much that means to me. Every person who walks through those doors is important to me, and I am committed to making sure that CrossFit Punta Gorda continues to be a place where you feel welcomed, valued, challenged, and at home.
I also want to give a huge and heartfelt thank you to my family (including my coaching family). Taking this step has been a dream, but dreams take sacrifice, support, patience, and a whole lot of love. I would not be standing here today without you standing beside me.
And finally to Chris and John: THANK YOU! Thank you for trusting me with something you built and poured so much of yourselves into. I am incredibly honored to carry this gym forward and continue building on the foundation you created.
I know that taking ownership is a big responsibility, but it is one I am embracing with my whole heart.
My promise to you is simple:
💪I will continue to put our community first.
💪I will continue to work hard to make this gym better.
💪I will continue to listen, learn, grow, and invest in our members.
💪And I will do everything I can to make CrossFit Punta Gorda a place that all of us can be proud to call home.
This isn’t just MY new chapter. It’s OURS. ❤️
Thank you for believing in me, supporting me, and allowing me the opportunity to take this next step.
Here’s to the next chapter of CrossFit Punta Gorda!
The best is yet to come. 💪
With much love,
Danielle Chance
