"Leadership is based on inspiration, not domination; on cooperation, not intimidation."

One step, one rep, one round at a time. That’s the way we finish a WOD, that’s the way our new Box is coming together.

Jenn and I are continually amazed at the positive feedback we’re getting from all of you about the new space!

"To offend a strong man, tell him a lie. To offend a weak man, tell him the truth."

The build out on the new space is progressing well but it hasn’t stopped our athletes from training. We are very fortunate to have attracted such dedicated athletes.

"People who can't communicate think everything is an argument. People who lack accountability think everything is an attack."
