I knew opening Elm City Crossfit with my very formidable buddies would bring a great deal of satisfaction. I learn just as much from my athletes as they do from me. But the biggest surprise was the one is soon discovered when the WODs roll out and the suffering begins.
At Elm City Crossfit we are bonded by various motivating factors but the one that keeps individuals coming back for more is the community - what I like to refer to our team. This is a trend that I have witnessed two years in the making. I see people of various abilities, backgrounds, sexes, interests and of course opinions come together everyday to suffer together. And for those who suffer together bond together. It is sediment that is felt not only with the athletes performing the exercises, but also anyone who ever walks into our box. We are a band of brothers brought together for individual goals.
Each day at Elm City Crossfit, athletes are exposed to a workout which each individual will perform during the course of that particular day. There is a since of both competition and camaraderie when each set our on their journey to complete the day’s test. Our athletes are motivated and comforted by the simple fact that the team will be victorious, standing together against the day’s challenges. Even though our results are individually based and our goals are very personal, the means and the medium are very much team driven. Our team is less concern with physical prowess or appearance, we are concern with how our team fares. Participation, pride, perseverance, passion, poise – this is our team – watch us win! ~The Average Joe
