Take a solo

Hey gang,

     While I am flattered for all the phone calls and emails we have been receiving about our box I gotta clear a few things up.

     A musician takes a solo, a sailor goes solo around the world, a paratrooper does their first solo jump, and in our case we have gone solo.  We are but one.  Ronin for a time.  Our facility is the size of a milk crate but packed with drive and ambition.  And that also means, y'all can't make any money off us by trying to sell us stuff.  While I love the calls in that it makes us sound HUGE, really we are "phenomenal cosmic power in an itty bitty living space."  (I still miss you Robin Williams.)

     The name Crossfit Solo was almost Crossfit Mono, but that sounded like an extremely contagious disease.  Crossfit Uni came to mind but I don't ride a unicycle.  Then like lightning, CrossFit Solo just popped in there.  "Ray.....What just popped in there?"  The name works on many levels, one, the One, and of course Han.  Our goal is to maintain what we achieved at our long loved St. Pete CrossFit of six years.

     We can't take members.  Well at least no plans to.  Though we have six years experience in Crossfit and combined over 15 years of marathon, triathalon, and Age Group National Qualifying members as well as Croffit Open RX'd division participants we can't coach you.  Not that we don't want to but the focus of this gym is to inspire you to do the same.  Focus!  Focus on your sport whatever it may be.  One of the top athletes in the world is Tony Hawk.  Don't believe me?  He still absolutely shreds at 47 years old.  But time and dedication got him there and you can get there too in whatever it may be.  Your coach can give you the tools and technique but you must provide the drive.

       Things to keep in mind.  CrossFit HQ and every subsequent gym posts their workout of the day or W.O.D. for free.  Every single day.  See what they're doing.  Find a gym you like, and join up.  Drink the blue Kool-Aid and go for it.

    And lastly, because, well, Hugh Jackman.  <= awesome link here.  Deadlifting 400 pounds.  4 times.  With a pirate beard.  Being watched by Grumpy Cat.  OK not the last part.  Until next time kids.
