Quote of the Week 10-26-2020

“The key, if you want to build habits that last, is to join a group where the desired behavior is the normal behavior.”

NEWS

I am very happy this week- here’s why.  It always feels good to be validated and everyone likes to be right about something.  Well I was right.  We were right…  

We were right that we could survive Covid.  We were right that if we poured our resources into Coaching and Community they would pay us incredible dividends on our investment.  “Home Run” Tim wrote on our Goals Board, “CrossFit > Corona” and damn, that hits hard.  Thank you for your faith in us, in our Board, and in this Community.  

It would have been so easy to just close down, pack the equipment in storage, and open back up when this was over.  I could have negotiated a new lease or moved to another location or a million other things that any reasonable person would have done.  We were right to be unreasonable!  We were steadfast and unwilling to compromise our values and I have never been more proud in my life.  

Will there be a second wave of shutdowns?  Maybe.  But we are so ready and so confident that we can overcome anything.  We will adapt and pivot and do what is needed to continuously be better than yesterday.  Thank you all for standing by this Community.

PROGRAMMING

Welcome to week two of our Olympic Lifting cycle.  Same moves but we are going heavier this week.  It is paramount we cruise through these movements in order to get the intended stimulus out of them, so please have your numbers ready to go before class begins.  Our Metcons are very shoulder and leg heavy this week so prepare!
