We could not be more thrilled today. Without further adieu, we give you Melissa and Kirk Reed, trainers with us for almost three years, and part of the original bunch back in the Garage Days:
To our CrossFit Watertown family,
We have an exciting announcement to make. We wanted to be able to tell all of you in person, but that’s probably not possible, so we’d like to thank Lis for letting us take over the blog for a day. After months of planning and crunching numbers and more planning, we are going to open up our own affiliate in Danbury called CrossFit 203.
To say that we are excited about this new venture would be an understatement. CrossFit has become such a huge part of our lives, we feel the need to share our passion and help others discover this great community of fitness.
That being said, we want you all to know that we love CrossFit Watertown and we will still be a part of this community. It is our hope that CrossFit 203 and CFW can come together often; for fundraising events and other friendly competitions. After so many fun years here, we can’t just up and leave. We love CFW and ALL of you far too much to do that. All of this could not have been possible without the guidance and mentorship from Lis, and the support and friendship from all of you.
We hope that you can be there for our grand opening sometime in the coming months, and we’ll keep you updated on our progress. We found an excellent space and we can’t wait to open our doors. More details to come! In the meantime, check out our website www.crossfit203.com! We’ll talk to you all soon.

Awesome! Congrats!!!
Im also in agreement with Eric that us Power Barners shall be victorious in said competition. Preferably one with Back Squatting or Snatching, to save everyone else the embarrassment of losing to us in met-cons.
HAHA!
Good luck Kirk and Melissa

@Kirk: My pleasure! Thanks right back at ya — you and Melis have been at my side since I started this crazy ride. None of it would have been possible without you guys.
That being said, I look forward to stomping yours and Melissa’s guts with Brian.
