A Fun Night

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate the Holiday season and another year of fun, friendships and fitness with us on Friday night at Side Launch Brewery.

Huge thank you to Season and her team at Culinary Designs for putting together a delicious spread of incredible food for us to enjoy and mingle about while sharing lots of laughs.

The Holiday party in December was an annual event for us each year from 2012 - 2019, after the pandemic started in 2020 all of our events stopped. The support that so many of you gave us through 2020, 2021, and 2022 was incredible. It was a scary time for everyone not knowing what was happening, and when things would go back to normal. Having our business shut down on and off for the greater part of 2 years took a toll. Which we know it did for everyone. But the truth is, for us, it became all we could do to put our blood, sweat and literal tears into the facility and the day to day running of it, and coaching. To put all our energy and efforts into making the day to day the best it could be, anything extra for us became too much, and that just didn’t feel right. For the greater part of two years, we had to take our normal class sizes and reduce it to 8 to 10 people, take our training and make that happen in taped out boxes on the floor forcing everyone apart. That’s not who we are, or who we ever wanted to be. So the second the tape could go, it went. We worked really hard in 2022 and into 2023 to get the feel of the classes, the programming, etc. back to who we are, and what we do, that is where we put our efforts and energy. But we have always held events at CFI. It’s always been part of us, so earlier this year we got together after Murph, and dipped our toes slightly back into the waters of more.

What was the whole speal above about? None of us like to talk much about the effects that 2020 had on us, we just want to move past it now, us included. But the we also want to share why it took us until now to do something like the holiday party again. It’s never been because we didn’t want too, or didn’t care enough too. Plus if you know us, you know that we don’t half ass anything, so we needed to be able to do it right, do us.

This past Friday during the Holiday party, we took some time to just watch everyone mix and mingle about, which is something we have always done at the holiday party. It’s unique and special to know that all of you have come together and build bonds and friendships through the shared suffering in workouts, and you come together, get dressed up and celebrate because of those bonds formed in our facility. How many gyms and fitness facilities can truly say that those things happen?

So thank you for helping us to bring together the final piece of bring CrossFit Indestri back to normal (for us). We look forward to what 2024 will bring. The spark for events has been re-ignited. Maybe we’ll even look at putting that INDESTUCIBLE in house competition back on the books that we were forced to cancel in May of 2020. (We’ll see, we need to first ensure we have the help and judges needed for that. So we’ll get through the 2024 CrossFit Open first.) :)

But Thank You to all those who came out. To those who couldn’t make it, you were missed, we hope to see you at the next one. Happy Holiday Season.
