The Crossfit Community
By
When I was first pondering opening a CrossFit box and making this my living, I sat down with CFLA’s Andy Petranek over lunch and fired a litany of questions in his direction. The most important one that I asked went as follows, “Are all CrossFitters like the ones in our gym, or are we just really lucky?” His reply was that the CF community is unlike any other that either of us had ever been a part of and no, we weren’t just lucky in LA. The level of commitment to fitness, commitment to wellness and most importantly, commitment to each other in the CrossFit community is truly amazing. I am honored to be a part of such a community and feel that as a CF Affiliate our job is to continue this awesome trend.
This morning, after bearing a 3am wake up and an hour and a half drive up from Los Angeles, 3 of CFLA’s finest helped me break in our box for an inaugural 6am “Angie” workout. A very special, heartfelt thank you goes out to Alyssa, Eddie and Zeb for everything they did to be here this morning.

It was the best and most beautiful morning I’ve had since my first time to Hawaii in 1995. I couldn’t come up with a more empowering, enriching, celebratory, and joyous kick start to a day had I sat down and conjured one up. Second to the currents of our community; there are few things so fulfilling as arising at 0300 and road tripping to SB to CrossFit, swim, and feast with the greatest of friends. My graces to YOU Traver, for welcoming us into your box and giving us a taste of what CFPC will become. You’re gonna be great.

I was SOOOOOO sorry not to be able to be there–I was a couple thousand miles away physically, but I was right there in spirit. Congratulations to Traver and Eric, and kudos to Zeb, Alyssa, and Eddie. I am fortunate to know all of you.

Congratulations on the launch and grand opening guys! Sorry I showed up a couple days early and missed it. Can’t wait to catch one of your WODs next time I’m visiting in Santa Barbara. All the best, good luck!
