CrossFit changes lives.

Here’s a short-ish story from one of our coaches, who just happens to have started as a member 3 1/2 years ago 😂

He came through the doors wanting to get fitter and find a little community after moving to The Woodlands.

Since then, he’s lost 20+ lbs, gotten into the best shape of his life, found a group of people he genuinely loves being around…

and apparently decided that wasn’t enough, so he became a coach too 🤘🏻

And now I get to watch him stand in front of our crew and do what he loves.

If you’ve been in one of his classes, you know his whiteboard briefs are something else. He brings creativity, fun and a whole lot of personality to the floor and our members absolutely love him.

But what I love most is that he gets it.

He knows what it feels like to walk through the doors as the new guy. To learn. To struggle. To get stronger. To find your people. To accomplish things you didn’t think you could do.

And now he gets to help other people experience that too.

His words say it best:

“I’m not quite sure how over 3 years went by so quickly, but very glad I wandered through those doors ❤️”

So are we 🫶🏻

This is what CrossFit can do.

And this is exactly why we do what we do.

Add LIFE to your years ❤️

A Member told me this morning, “CrossFit is my therapy.” I’ve heard this one a lot over the years, and I’ve even felt it myself.

That’s Mitts. He coaches here.

He wrote this for our coaches, in our group chat, not for the internet. I asked if I could share it. He said yes.

His words, all of them.

“Look at that chubby face!! Oh and no beard! I wasn’t always as fit-ish as I am today. That’s me 14 years ago before I started taking my health seriously. I was around 220lb. That’s about when I started on my fitness journey, first just following programs I found online and worked out in my garage. I finally got the courage to try CrossFit in February 2016 and have been rolling with that ever since. I’m around 180 now, and stronger than I’ve ever been.

I owe most of my success to the CF community and coaches for keeping me safe, encouraging me, and keeping me accountable. You guys are the best breed of people. You’re changing lives, even if you don’t always know it. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”

Wednesday nights 🤘🏻
Somebody’s talking, somebody’s laughing and we are all deep into a workout you haven’t done yet.

Every workout gets a goal. Not a list of movements. A goal. How it should feel. What it should do for your body. How it helps you LIVE BETTER the other 23 hours outside this gym.

Then we build the plan. The prescription and a way in for every human who walks through that door. Brand new, coming back, been here forever 😅 Everybody gets that same feel. Everybody moves forward, safely.

So by the time you get here, we’re ready for you.

You walk in. You get three minutes at the whiteboard. You bring the effort and we do the rest, together.

We change lives here.
That’s the whole job. If you want yours changed, come get it.

This is the only picture I got from Murph.

Right before I wiped it off.

No before shots. No mid-workout grit. No sweaty group photo. Just the board, the words and the work we’d already done.

Yesterday at the whiteboard I shared something my mentor said:

Hero workouts are unique to CrossFit. They’re an opportunity for somebody’s name to live on through our effort. A way to honorably give a piece of ourselves for someone who gave everything for us.

It was going to be incredibly hard.

But we do hard things because hard things give us favorable adaptations. Physical. Mental. Emotional. And especially together.

That last part is everything. Together.

I didn’t get pictures of the moments because we were in them. The partner swaps. The gasps for air. The cheers for the person finishing last. The high-fives.

The words on the board is the only proof I have because the moments live in the people who showed up 🤘🏻

Thank you for being the kind of community that shows up to do Murph because Murph deserves it.
