SATURDAY

I thought I would share with you all my CrossFit journey that started 12 years ago. I helped my friend, Chris, open the first CrossFit box on Long Island 12 years ago. That’s right! There weren’t any CrossFit boxes on Long Island. He was the 550th affiliate. Today 12 years later, there are close to 15,000 affiliates worldwide. I was there coaching for about 3 years before opening Thor Fitness in Hauppauge. The picture above was my first location, as I ended up moving three times.

This past April Thor Fitness turned 9 years old. That’s a long time in CrossFit box years lol! With that said, after working for 9 years, 7 days a week it’s time to hang up my Nanos as a gym owner. I’m super excited to announce that Coach Mike V will be your new leader! This didn’t just happen over night. Mike and I have been discussing this for about three years. You all know he’s an amazing coach and will be an amazing gym owner as well. Am I sad? Yes, of course! But who better to take care of my baby than Mike. Thor Fitness has been as they say a “labor of love.” When I started this gym 9 years ago I had no idea how rewarding it was going to be. It doesn’t suck getting up in the morning and being really happy to go to “work” to see you all.

So this will be my very last blog post. Maybe Mike will post a picture of Nero every now and then for me. But I want you all to know that I will NOT be leaving. I love CrossFit, you all and this gym. I will be staying on coaching. Mike will be giving the gym and website a facelift at some point. Pretty exciting right? So don’t be sad. We are both ready for this and I know Mike is really excited as well. On that note, see you in class!!!
