That was then and this is now

I am feeling a little nostalgic today. Three years ago today Jacob and I quietly opened the doors of Warrior CrossFit Muscatine in downtown. During our first few weeks of business we slowly accumulated a group of dedicated athletes that helped spread the word about CrossFit. They endured crazy ass, "ball busting" WODs like 100 Curtis Ps for time in dank, dark, and sometimes freezing conditions and they still came back for more. We had no intro classes. We launched these intrepid Warriors straight into the thick of "Helton" and "Jackie" and "Cindy". Ask any of our "legacy" members, like John Garvin, about those first WODs and you'll hear some fun stories. We have come so far since then.

We learned a lot during those early months and we continue learning as our community grows. We appreciate each of you that shows up week after week, month after month, and year after year. You keep our community vibrant and engaged. You help us help causes such as Barbells for Boobs and The Wounded Warrior Project. Each of you is responsible for the WCFM you see today. Our athlete population is stronger than ever with bigger PRs and expanding skill sets. We are proud of the work each of you does to progress and the spirit of "Tada gun iarracht" (Nothing without effort) that each of you represents. Thank you for making sure that WCFM is here to stay. Three years and counting. We are excited to see how our community will grow in the next three years and beyond.
