A little over 6 years ago I decided to start CrossFit Green Bay. I had just found out about CrossFit not too long before while working out at the YMCA. I remember the day that I clicked on the link for CrossFit and my mind literally blowing up. So much working out was in my future and I was so excited. Upon opening CFGB I was met with an amazing amount of negativity and so many people telling me that you can’t do this and you can’t do that. I saw hatred for something from so many people and I had no clue as to why. CrossFit was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen and I just couldn’t understand how anyone could hate something this amazing so badly. Long story short the hate was just that hate and I ain’t got time for that. I decided to drown out the negative opinions and trust me some days it was mind numbing yet I forged ahead. Everyone has an opinion on how this or that should be done and that’s great for everyone else but not this gym. This gym has grown because I never wanted to do what everyone else is doing. I didn’t want my gym or my athletes to be one dimensional because one dimensional has been done to death not to mention it’s boring as F. I want my athletes to grow because of not one thing I want them to grow because of everything from kipping pull-ups, running, lifting heavy, lifting light, moving odd objects, climbing things, jumping, mass amounts of burpees, everything. We know that some things work and they’ve worked for years but how are we ever going to know if we can do better if we continue to do what’s already been done? So here’s to 2017 and the continuation of building our own road to our goals, not driving down someone else’s besides their road is full of pot holes! 
Happy New Year to all of you that have supported this little gym. A gym that has made us laugh, cry, swear, sweat, bleed but most importantly it’s brought us all together creating one kick ass family!
Happy New Year!!!
Love,
Grant
