3340 CLOSING 31ST JAN 2023
There are multiple times in your life where you have to make hard decisions... this, for me, would be one of the hardest, ever.
I love this place with all my heart. Every single bit of it.
When I first started crossfit nearly 9 years ago, I sat outside the old Box across the road for 15 mins whilst my bestie was waiting inside to start our intro session. It was hard to take that first step but once I did, I was instantly hooked.
Man, it's been one hell of a ride. The highlight reel is just way too long to even try and put it all down now, so I'll save that for my last few posts.
I bought 3340 (the old Crossfit Bacchus) back in 2016. It has been a journey of the most absolutely amazing highs and some very hard times, including lockdowns but through sheer determination and amazing support, we made it through.
A conversation I had with my daughter, who has pretty much grown up here, made me rethink my priorities. 'I'm so sorry you have to work so hard, mum'. This got me in so many ways. I have always said that I didn't want to miss my kids growing up and regret it when they're older. I almost have but I have a few years left before they wonder into the big, wide world.
I've cried so many tears making this decision. You have no idea how hard it is taking away a place that I love with every bit if me and is a second home, a safe haven and just piles and piles of laughs to so many of our members... but it's time.
I just want to say thank you. Thank you to each and every one of our past and current members, coaches, friends and my amazing family. Thank you for the invaluable words of wisdom, encouragement, guidance. Thank you for allowing me to grow. Coaching is my love.
I really hope you can continue what you love to do in a place that offers the same values as we have continued to pursue over the years.
If you want to buy a gym and keep the ❤ going, message me... or if there's any part time coaching jobs around 😂
I shared this pic when I first started crossfit. It's one of my faves and seems relevant to share it again now.
I have so much to say but it'll have to wait.
If it's been a while, come in for a workout!
31 days left of 3340. Let's make them the best!
🥂 Cheers to the New Year. Stay safe.
Lots of ❤
Coach Tan & Brad 😘
