A very thankful Thanksgiving!

Wishing all of you a wonderful rest day and an even better Thanksgiving! Thank you to everyone who has been apart and still apart of the CrossFit 808 ohana - I couldn't have hand picked a better group to represent us. CrossFit 808 is a second home and a second family to all of its members, so always remember you have two families who love and care for you. 

Big shout out to the coaches of CrossFit 808: Josh, Joe, John, Mike, Kyla, and Cheyne. You guys are the heart and soul of this box. This box could not function without you six. The quality and compassion you all provide is the reason our members are so successful. I am so grateful for each and every one of you!

Thank you to my dad for all the behind the scenes work he does. You may or may not know this, but my dad is the guy that quietly comes into the gym restocks the water, paper towels, and toilet paper. He also cleans everything from the walls to the mirrors and showers upstairs. When I'm too tired from the week to mop the gym floor, he's the guy that fills and does it. I am to say the least, spoiled by my father, but not ungrateful. He has been behind me from day one on this dream of mine to open a CrossFit Affiliate, and I am so thankful.

To my coach and mentor, CJ Martin (owner of CrossFit Invictus): thank you for taking me under your wing and developing me into the athlete I am today. Over the past year, I have crushed PRs in movements I never thought possible. I am so thankful I am one of your athletes and look forward to the very bright future.

I hope everyone has an awesome Thanksgiving Day! We'll see you at the box tomorrow to work off everything non-Paleo you consume!
