CrossFit South City

Coach taught his final 6 am class this morning at CFSC. Dan, is our the head coach and heart of our 6 am crew. We have been so incredibly fortunate to have him become a member, then Coach.

We are so excited to follow his new adventures, and continue to grow as a Coach .mile.fitness 💚

Before finding our current location, we looked for almost eighteen months, and when we first looked at it, we felt so desperate and had no idea how we would make it into a gym. The space had been a welding company for over twenty years, never cleaned, and had no bathrooms.

At the time, all three of my partners had full-time jobs, they helped out the best they could, but we were on a solid deadline, so I took on as much as I could. I spent countless hours with a facemask blowing the dust off the upper beams. That green wall took me forever to spray-paint. I was by myself late one night, was on a high ladder, and couldn't reach the far left corner. I was so tired, full of dirt and dust, and couldn't figure out how to reach it, and I started crying. Next thing I knew, came walking in and asked if I needed help.

family helped us get the bathrooms in order. Then, the day before our grand re-opening, all the coaches came in and helped set up the equipment so we could open on time.

In these photos, you'll notice familiar faces, like my mom, dad, cousin, Jim, and . They got in the trenches with us from day one!

P.S. Chance and Bella supervised too as you can see!

last night coaching coaching at CFSC. All of us have built relationships far beyond these gym walls. It will never be goodbye, but until next time… 💚

Since we are about one week out from closing, I thought we would take a trip down memory lane. When I was twenty-four years old, I started CrossFit South City in the back of St. Louis Fitness Club.

I literally walked into the room with my boot campers and told them they were going to all switch over to doing CrossFit. None of them knew what it was, but they all jumped on board.

Neil and Brandon were my very first CrossFit coaches. These pics are when we first became an official affiliate.

Class times will start at 9-10-11 am. Be sure to sign up on Triib if you are a member of our gym. Non-members don't need to sign-up ahead of time, the workout will be donation based. Please arrive at least fifteen minutes early to warm up. We will start on the hour and will add more class times if they fill up. As always, we will have a party to follow. This will be our last day open, so prepare to spend the day together and send us off with a bang!

Also, if you don't want to workout that's totally okay. Just stop by and hangout with us!
