Happy birthday to us!

The beginnings of CrossFit AMRAP...

The beginnings of CrossFit AMRAP…

Ox asked me this morning if it was Matt’s birthday.

I told him that Matt’s birthday is in July.

He looked at me puzzled: “I don’t know why I thought it was today for some reason.”

“Yeah, I don’t know. His birthday is in July.”

I thought the question was odd at the time, and I didn’t think of it again until I logged in to AMRAP’s Facebook page. Several people had taken the time to wish Matt, whose name is on the account, a “happy birthday”.

That’s when I realized whose birthday it was (and felt a little disturbed at myself for forgetting): AMRAP’s.

AMRAP today...

AMRAP today…

Three years ago today, CrossFit AMRAP opened its doors to its first Foundations’ class. I remember being nervous, scared, and excited all at the same time. This was our gym; our dirty industrial unit fitted with a pull up system, decked out with barbells, rowers, bars, jump ropes and other equipment. However, at the time, the gym was more than that: it was the beginning of a new adventure.

Fast forward to present day and the adventure continues. Things have changed dramatically over the past three years when those first 11 people walked through our doors. We’ve watched the CrossFit community as a whole spread throughout the world; we’ve seen many people come and go (and sometimes come back); and we’ve experienced some lows, but mostly highs as we are fortunate enough to witness, take part, and share in so much progress, growth, and success within our community.

I speak for both Matt and I when I say that we are grateful for every day we get to open our doors. We love what we do, and we love that we are able to share it with all of you. That said – “thank you” to all of our members, past and present, for shaping AMRAP into what it is today. We couldn’t ask for a better birthday present.

Now let’s eat cake!… Paleo cake that is.
