The team will be training over the next 5 weeks preparing for the weekend of May 8-11 where they will be competing at the Navy Pier in Chicago along with 29 of the other top teams in the North Central Division of the CrossFit Games. We will be having team training on Sundays, more info to follow shortly. Please get your rooms booked now for the weekend and if you are looking to go or room with someone just ask around and we’ll get you taken care of.
Our work ethic is why we are where we are and even though some of you fell short of your expectations please know that this gym is about more than the games. We are about doing work and doing it well. The games are nothing more than a little reward for our effort we put day in and day out. Please don’t look at your place as a failure but look at it as your starting point for tomorrow and the day after. We are a very young gym and CrossFit has only been in most of our lives for no more than 3-5 years. When it is your time to shine in the CrossFit world I promise you that myself and the rest of the coaches at CFGB will have you prepared. Stay humble and stay the course because you will succeed hell or high water and if shining in the CrossFit World is not your intention we still promise you the same you will be prepared for whatever obstacle life throws at you.
See you at Regionals!
