——————————————————————————

Since opening our doors in 2015, we’ve been through so much together.

New PRs, projects sent, first workouts, last workouts, new friendships, old friendships, celebrations, setbacks, comebacks, and more memories than we could ever count.

We’ve watched members walk through our doors for the very first time and go on to accomplish things they never thought possible. We’ve celebrated birthdays, milestones, transformations, competitions, personal records, and all the little victories in between.

And then there were the moments none of us could have predicted — including shutting our doors during the COVID-19 quarantine and navigating one of the most uncertain periods our community has ever faced. Somehow, we found ways to stay connected, keep moving, and eventually come back stronger.

You’ve made this place what it is.

To every member who has trained with us, every coach who has poured their time and energy into this community, every friend who has stopped by, every person who has cheered someone else on, and everyone who has supported us along the way — thank you!
