We’re 14!

Today’s the day. We’re 14!!!

July 5th, 2010 Scott Thornton was approved and CrossFit Indestri became an official CrossFit Affiliate.

For those who might not know, Scott founded CrossFit Indestri. After retiring from 18 seasons in the NHL and moving to Collingwood, he missed the feeling of the NHL locker room. The Camaraderie and judgement free zone that he had been use to for so many years. So he decided to create a facility to mimic that, and CrossFit Indestri was born.

One question we get asked a lot is, why Indestri. So when I bought into the gym in 2015 I asked him. The meaning of Industry is the manufacturing of goods. Scott thought it would be cool to have the facility named Indestri (he like the spelling) with the idea that CrossFit Indestri was manufacturing the human body.

Little history lesson.

In Jan of 2015, Stouty bought Scott out the facility, in April 2015 Steph bought into the facility and in Dec of 2015 I purchased the shares of the former partners Tyson and Sarah, that Scott had brought on. So for the last nearly 9 years the 3 of us have proudly owned and operated CrossFit Indestri.

We’re THRILLED to be celebrating 14 years with you today.

We believe that besides the Collingwood YMCA that this anniversary might make CrossFit Indestri the oldest standing brick and mortar fitness facility (that hasn’t changed names) in Collingwood.

It’s been an incredible 14 years of changing lives of people in the area. We’ve helped athletes gain strength, endurance, skills, confidence, friends, spouses, families, business partners, etc. Our goal has always been to build a stronger Collingwood one WOD at a time, but in turn we’ve also been helping to create some truly incredible and special bonds. There’s a connection that grows out of the shared suffering of a workout. It’s truly special and something we love about the facility and our community.

We also want to thank Coaches Neal, Sarah, and pre-teen and teen coaches, Emma and Hannah, for all the work they also do to help make CrossFit Indestri so special. We’re truly lucky to have such incredible coaches.

Cheers to the first 14, and here’s to many many more.
