District One Athletics

🏆 THE PITCH KC 2026 – BEST GYM WINNER 🏆

We are incredibly honored to be named The Pitch KC’s 2026 Best Gym.

Just 2.5 years ago, District One Athletics was nothing more than a vision. Today, this award represents something so much bigger than us—it represents every member who trusted us, every coach who poured into our community, every friend and family member who supported us, and every single person who took the time to nominate and vote for us.

From the bottom of our hearts… thank you.

This recognition belongs to every person who has walked through our doors, believed in our mission, and helped us build a community centered around hard work, accountability, and becoming better together.

On behalf of the ownership group—Alex Baird, Ki’anie Brooks, and Avery Parker—thank you for believing in District One Athletics. We don’t take your support for granted, and we promise to continue raising the standard every single day.

This is an incredible milestone, but it’s far from the finish line.

We’re only 2.5 years in… and we’re just getting started.

Here’s to continuing to build something special together.

🧡 Thank you, Kansas City.

D1 community -

We wanted to take this time to create a post and THANK our sponsors supporting the District One Athletics HYROX NYC Team as we head to New York City to represent Kansas City on one of the biggest stages in the sport.

Your support means more than just logo prints on our body — it’s helping fuel a team built around hard work, community, discipline, and chasing big goals together. We truly could not do this without the people and businesses that believe in what we’re building.

Thank you to:

• Embody Studio
• F.I.T Muscle & Joint Clinic
• Measure Twice Restoration
• JoCo Run Club

We’re proud to carry your support with us into NYC.

Next week, we head to NYC. 💛

What started as a goal to compete in HYROX has turned into something so much bigger than we ever expected.

Over the past few months, this community has shown up for us in the most incredible way — through encouragement, donations, sponsorships, and support for a mission that means so much to all of us.

Because of you, we’ve had the opportunity to partner with Operation Breakthrough and help support children and families right here in Kansas City.

As race week gets closer, we’re feeling incredibly grateful — not just for the opportunity to compete, but for the chance to represent something bigger than ourselves.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. Truly.

3 weeks out. 🗽💛

At some point, the countdown starts feeling real.

The long training days.
The sacrifices.
The moments where you question yourself.
The moments where you surprise yourself.

We’ve poured so much into this season and now we’re almost there.

What makes this even more meaningful is knowing we get to carry something bigger than ourselves into NYC through our partnership with Operation Breakthrough.

We’re incredibly grateful for everyone who’s supported this journey so far.
