The first equipment shipment for CrossFit Evolve!
Today is a very special day! 1 year ago today – March 11, 2010 – was the very first WOD at CrossFit Evolve. It's been an amazing year to say the least. When we opened the doors, although we were confident that we were doing the right thing and it was going to work out, we were still a little scared. Who wouldn't be!At the very least we hoped we could get a couple of our friends who already were into CrossFit, maybe drag a few folks off the street, and we might have a shot at making rent. Not in our wildest dreams could we have imagined how things would turn out. You all know by now that we're not businessmen. So with the little we did know, one thing was always in the back of our minds. Most small businesses fail within the first year. Well, we made it!
We want to thank you guys! Those of you who have been there since the beginning, those of you who have started recently, and everyone in between! We also have to say thank you to the other coaches – Tyson, Ryan, and Drew – who have become a huge part of this great thing and contributed so much! And of course, to our families, Katie and Shar and the kiddos for letting us spend so much time and energy making Evolve a reality. Here's to another great year!
To celebrate the anniversary, after the Open WODs on Saturday March 19th we will have a celebration at the box. Details will follow, but don't plan on taking off once the WOD is over. We need to celebrate!
Congrats Jon and Gene! I am so proud of you guys. I never doubted you could not make a go of this. You guys have worked hard and well together and have made our families grow. Also, thanks to Tyson, Ryan and Drew for giving Jon and Gene some breaks and loving it too. I am sure I speak for Shar too in saying it is nice to have the guys home once in awhile too. Thanks to all the athletes old and new for becoming a part of our families and loving the box like it is your own. Happy Anniversary Evolve!
Happy Anniversary Evolve…I remember the times over months watching the grandkids often while Anita showed you guys different spaces. Little did I know at the time that I would EVER be an athlete at Evolve….life is unpredictable in many ways…some devastating, some remarkable…Thank you for creating Evolve…I am not overstating to say it is a miracle in my life. It has given me more than I could have ever imagined. So Thank You….coaches and families and each athlete…I am grateful to be part of the community 🙂
Happy Anniversary!! Thank you guys for having this dream. There’s boxes all across the world but I doubt any one of them is as great as what you guys have created. And JoAnne…your so sweet you just made me tear up!
Congrats on the first year. I’m happy I’ve been able to be part of this family. You guys are incredible!
Happy Anniversary Evolve! Wow, how the year has flown by:) We are so grateful for everyone who has helped make Evolve what it is today, everyone has had an impact someway, somehow!
I love what this family has become and so grateful for what you all give back everyday w/ all the blood, sweat and tears-literally. You’ve all made this dream of Gene and Jon’s such a wonderful success and I can’t wait to see where they go from here. Only greatness I can imagine w/ all the talent we have in the box.
Thank you coaches for taking as much pride in Evolve as Gene and Jon have and being such a huge part of that success.
Can’t wait to celebrate next weekend!!!
Happy Anniversary Evolve. I started with foundations in June, so not since the very beginning but close. It has been great to see how it has grown from the little spot up front with a few people to the huge box in the back, now with a waiting list. You are all amazing and I am greatful to be with some of you at the 5:30 wods and then more of you on Sat am. It has been great. Here is to another wonderful year!!! Congrats guys on opening a place that would benefit so many people.
Happy Anniversary Evolve! The past 5 months that I have belonged to the Evolve family has been so amazing. Words can’t even begin to explain how grateful I am that you opened this box and I became a member. My life has changed so much! I am anxious to see what I will be able to do at a years mark. Jon and Gene-thank goodness for dreams and for your willingness to take risks. Your ambitions have changed the lives of so many. Thank you to all the wonderful coaches, you are all AMAZING! Here is to many more great years to come.
Congratulations on all your success over the past year. I am glad to have been around for even part of it.
Congrats guys, it’s easy to see why you are so successful. Here’s to another great year!
