Life is a series of turns and choices. Make a left. Make a right. Pursue an opportunity. Take on a challenge. Sit in place and do nothing. A case can be made that they are one in the same, opportunities
come to those willing to view challenges as the seeds success.
If we really analyze opportunity we find that the value in a
challenge is fear. Fear of the
unknown. Fear of change. Leaving the security of a job and
branching out for a new opportunity is scary. A pretty significant “challenge.”
It is May 21st and about 4 months since CrossFit
Sixth City opened its doors under the management company’s name, Cleveland
Strength and Conditioning. As budding
entrepreneurs we understood and experienced fear of starting a new business
from scratch. We have experienced
the growing pains of a start-up and worked through a lot of trial and error.
But no matter how many scary scenarios we threw on the
table, the one thing we kept coming back to was the people. It was because of the great
relationships we have built over the last couple years that we had the
confidence it took to test change.
Without these people who have been there to challenge and support us,
CSC would not be an incredible success in the making.
For everything our members have done and the drive you bring
to the gym each day, we thank you!
The process was not without difficulties. At times we have felt as if we let
friends down with the decisions we had to make in order to pursue our dreams. For this we can’t apologize enough.
Now the focus is ahead. On today, on tomorrow and the future.
We took this leap for those willing to walk with us, and for
them we will walk strong and swift.
Our goal is to create something grand.
In essence, CSC is a CrossFit gym. In truth, we are and will become much more. CrossFit in and of itself is an
excellent program. However, in
order to deliver the most well-rounded training experience we think we need
more. Because of this we have
created additional programs including Olympic lifting, dietary consulting and a
coming endurance program that will focus on triathlon prep. Combined with our daily focus on
strength building, mobility and movement quality, we are laying the ground work
for what we believe will be the most effective and entertaining fitness program
in the city.
The promise we make to our members is simple – hard work and
respect. We will always have the
utmost respect for anyone who walks through our doors with the intention to
better themselves. Because of
that, we will always be dedicated to constant improvement and growth inside and
outside the gym. Regularly researching
new methods of training and gym activities, while pushing the balance between
measurement and creativity.
A facility of much more than four walls and a roof with some
equipment. CSC is a destination of
challenge, excitement, conquest and fulfillment. In order to achieve anything great in life it is paramount
to extend outside of one’s comfort zone, both mentally and physically. After all, there is not much point in
busting our butts to become fit if we do not take advantage of it in any way.
Keep an eye out for community events. Like an Around-The-City WOD similar to
the one we hosted two years ago, as well as other workouts, competitions and
events both inside and outside the gym, in the interest of working out and
furthering social relationships.
The true bond of our community is not just in our proximity but the
amount we are willing to give for ourselves and the around us.
Somewhere out there a great mother once said, “Surround
yourself with good people and your life will be filled with success and
happiness.” Thank you to our
members for laying the foundation to this success and happiness, and cheers to
those who are yet to come.
WOD on!
