Thank You - Monday, December 16th, 2024
Thank You
We wanted to once again thank everyone who attended our annual Christmas party last Friday evening.
It’s always nice to see everyone outside of the gym, and not dressed in gym clothing.
We hope everyone had great evening getting to mingle with each other, and possibly even meet some athletes who might attend different class times than you do.
On behalf of Steph, Stouty and myself, we want to thank everyone for being a part of our CrossFit Indestri community.
It’s not lost on us how incredible and unique what we have at CrossFit Indestri is. First, a huge thank you to our absolutely amazing coaches, Sarah, Neal, Emma and Hannah. We thank you for your passion, and for loving and caring about CrossFit Indestri and all of the athletes as much as we do. We appreciate it more than we could ever truly explain.
CrossFit was founded on an ethos of hard work, uncompromising standards, and unrivalled community spirit. This is something we value greatly. It’s what makes us as a CrossFit community unique and special.
The annual Christmas party is a chance to gather together to celebrate a great year of fun, fitness, friendships and community. Each and every one of you is a part of what makes CrossFit Indestri special to us.
As many of you know, our gym was founded in 2010 by Scott Thornton. When Scott retired from his career in the NHL, the thing he missed the most was the community and the camaraderie that he had for so many years in the locker room. When he started CrossFit Indestri, his goal was to create a space to get that sense of camaraderie back that he had been missing. The camaraderie at CrossFit Indestri is big a part of what we all feel in love with most, and it’s something we treasure, and a big reason so many of us have been around for so long.
Honestly. how cool, and special is it that we all come together for things like the Christmas party, and how much cooler is that so many of us have only met and gotten to know each other because of CrossFit Indestri.
This is another thing that is not lost on us at all. Before CrossFit how many gyms had parties or get togethers like this? It just didn’t happen, the people you saw everyday in the gym, were just people you saw in passing, maybe you might have gotten to know their names, but it would be rare to develop any kind of friendship.
This is something that just organically came from CrossFit. The training we do daily inside our affiliate is hard, and the bonds that come out of that shared suffering together, side by side with all these are people in workouts, it’s truly special. You get to know each other, you become friends, you care. In the past 14 years in our facility alone we’ve had people develop incredible friendships, business partnerships, romantic relationships, evens marriages, and babies.
We want to thank each and every one of you for being a part of CrossFit Indestri.
A massive thank you to Season and her team at Culinary Designs for all the absolutely incredible food again this year. It was incredible.
A big thank you to our neighbours at Side Launch for hosting us again this year.
The holiday season is in full swing, and we want to wish each of you and your loved ones a healthy and happy holiday season. We have a few more really fun workouts planned in 2024 we hope to see you at, including our annual Christmas board game WOD this coming Saturday, the 21st. Registration is already open for it on zenplanner.
From bottom of our hearts, we thank you for being a part of this community that we love so much.
Happy Holidays.
