CrossFit The Club… It all started with an idea of one man. To show others that there’s a better way to approach fitness and a healthy lifestyle. Long gone are the days of elliptical machines, mirrors, and stationary hunks of metal that promise false statements of changing your body into becoming the next cover model of the latest Mens/Womens Health magazine. They’ve all been replaced with simple and completely effective tools of creation. Pull up bars, medicine balls, and kettle bells are just a few examples of any CrossFitter’s weapons of choice. Combined with proper functional movement they can deliver any individual from the depths of despair to the height of absolute physical performance. CrossFit has taught women that strong is beautiful. It forces many men to check their egos at the door. It can take someone who needs help in life and forge them into a lean hardened machine. CrossFit can even humble the most accomplished of athletes.
In the beginning classes were small and there wasn’t much for equipment. But what was obvious is that change was on the horizon. As time went by, CFTC grew rapidly. More equipment, more people, more space to fight the battle on. People were becoming stronger and faster. PR’s were broken almost daily and the Glory Board was filling up fast. Something big was happening and there was no stopping this freight train. Our pit has become a grand arena and we owe it all to one man.
Lindsay has changed each and every one of our lives for the better. He continuously pushes us to the very edge and back, showing us what we thought couldn’t be done… Can! He’s created an incredible community of CrossFitters full of amazing and talented athletes. For a majority of us, it’s become our second family. He’s assembled a talented team of trainers who have given it their all each day to help us meet or exceed our goals. We are all honored to be a part of CFTC and we appreciate you more than you know. Thank you Lindsay… & Happy Birthday!
