My name is Adam Brum and I joined in February 2022, and I have been so honored to share time with such inspiring people. I had no idea what CrossFit was before I joined (except for the pull-up memes). I knew that I wanted to improve my fitness, but I wanted to want to workout. I didn’t think a traditional gym would do that or put me on the path to my ultimate goal of happiness. From the beginning, I was amazed by the way everyone willingly accepted the movements or the 5 AM start times or the 100 degree heat. What’s motivating these people? Yeah, they’re insane. As I have gotten to know some of you more, I have been further inspired by how everyone is striving to reach their full potential.

I have been reflecting on what CrossFit means to me now. Sometimes we can be victims of circumstance, or bad people, and those things are beyond our control. But I refuse to be a victim of myself. I’m going to push a little harder, go a little farther. I’m going to work out on days when I don’t feel like it. Everyone coming to CrossFit each day is saying that they are going to take care of the one thing they can control, themselves. They refuse to make excuses or accept limits. It’s a path toward honesty. I have taken a little bit of inspiration from each of you, and it has helped me in every way. Thank you to every single member and coach for always inspiring.
