THREE YEARS (and then some).
Today marks three years since we officially took over CrossFit Mendip.
And yeah â itâs wild to think how far this place has come.
Not in numbers⌠but in what itâs become.
What started as a spark has turned into a full-blown fire â and itâs burning because of you.
Because hereâs the truth:
Most of you only see us for an hour a day. A class. A session. A quick chat on the way out.
But you lot? Youâre our whole day.
Youâre the messages, the programming, the planning, the worrying, the laughing, the âshall we just stay open a bit later?â, the âweâll sort it tonightâ, the âweâll do it tomorrowââŚ
Youâre the reason this place never switches off in our heads.
And if weâre being honestâŚ
This last 12 months has been tough personally. The kind of tough that tests you in ways you donât post about.
But this gym â and this community â has carried us through.
Some days, showing up here has been the thing thatâs kept us standing.
So thank you for that.
For turning up when you didnât feel like it.
For grafting.
For backing each other.
For making this place feel like more than a gym.
And to our team â thank you.
You bring the energy, the care, the standards, the banter, the calm when itâs chaos.
You help us keep this place running even when life outside the gym is heavy. Weâre lucky to do this alongside you.
People donât always see the sacrifices behind the scenes.
The family time we miss.
The evenings that become admin.
The weekends that become events.
The constant mental load of trying to make this place better for everyone who walks through the door.
But we make them â willingly â because we believe in what this place does for people.
Because weâve never stopped seeing the potential here.
And because weâre the kind of people who relentlessly give a s**t â about the coaching, the culture, the details, and the humans in front of us.
We donât do this for applause.
We do it because you matter.
Because this community matters.
Because if CrossFit Mendip can be the best hour of your day⌠weâll happily give you our whole day to make that happen.
