This is a goofy old photo of Tooner, exactly one year ago today: March 2, 2009.
Why are we showing it?
Take a look at the names on the poster. One year later, we have almost every single person still working out regularly at CrossFit Watertown.
Sure we lost one person to divorce, another to life issues, one just disappeared, and we’re about to send out an APB on Jill . . . but that’s pretty damn good! If you join, you stay — that says something about what we offer here!
And we’re waaaaaay bigger in membership and space and equipment now! In a not-so-hot economy, we’re growing and growing and growing.
Why? Because CrossFit works. Because it will change your life for the better. Because you’ll not only see great results in your body, but in so many aspects of your life.
And, because you will ALWAYS leave here feeling better than when you walked in. Absolutely guaranteed. If you don’t, we’ll not only give you your money back, we’ll come over and wash your car, your dishes, and your dog for free. (Or, we’ll send Jen. We’re a little busy sometimes. Thanks, Jen!)
Who knows what life will look like in another year?

no need to ABP, I’ll be in tomorrow – probably for a morning class

Ah, Jill beat me to it by 2 minutes…
March 2nd, 2010 at 11:00 am
Jill!!!!! So happy to hear that! We miss you!
And BAM — way to return with the first hit on the blog!

I am going to channel my inner dirty woman and get all mushy and sensitive here… but it’s not just CrossFit, it’s also the great peoples of CFW!
Please also notice the awesome Yule-Slosh-Log behind Greg. Sue and I spent HOURS decorating that thing. That thing should of been put in a some sort of Christmas museum next to Bing Crosbys original press of White Christmas and that elf dude that wanted to be dentist.

Nate, duly noted.
I’m pretty certain we will never see a decoration attempt as fine as the Yule-Slosh-Log. Some things are just perfect in this life.
And YES on the people of CFW!

One of our new members said this just last night
“People care that I’m here”. That’s the CF difference in a nutshell.
March 2nd, 2010 at 1:01 pm
That’s my goal as a coach outside of coaching…to care that your here and miss you when your not!

When are we going bowling?
March 2nd, 2010 at 2:38 pm
Bowling? Aww yeah! I have my own ball! The book may have described its color as “raspberry sparkle”, but in real life it is best described as “crimson blood red”.
I call her “the crimson crusher of pins, souls”. A slightly awkward name I know, but I find if you scream ’souls’ after you pause after saying ‘pins’ it is extra terrifying and intimidating.
I have my own shoes too, but that is a story for another day…
I’m not even invited am I?
March 2nd, 2010 at 2:47 pm
Nate, I will reveal a Lisbeth Darsh secret, known only to certain residents of a remote Air Force base in the California High Desert.
I own bowling shoes.
There, I said it.
I do not, however, have balls. Somehow, I am comforted to know that you have at least one.
March 2nd, 2010 at 3:23 pm
So wrong….
March 2nd, 2010 at 3:37 pm
I have bowling shoes and a bowling shirt with my name on it, but alas I also have no balls.
March 2nd, 2010 at 3:46 pm
Does Becky have balls?
March 2nd, 2010 at 3:51 pm
I have Barry’s in a bag in my car.
March 2nd, 2010 at 3:58 pm
LOL
Ding ding ding! Post of the Day!
March 2nd, 2010 at 10:47 pm
You guy’s are sick’os but so right, it’s about the people!!! Mary and I both have balls in a bag, but alas only she has shoes in her ball bag. Game on!!! CF bowling. 10 burpees (in the lane) for every open frame, you get a strike, other team does 10 bowling ball OHS
March 2nd, 2010 at 11:05 pm
SO Nate has 1 ball, Barry none…. Becky 2??? or just 1? Rich/mary have 2…… Shit – I REALLY hate work when it takes me away from the blog!!!!!!!!!!
