Indomitable

by Dean

Impossible to subdue or defeat.

It is awesome to witness that indomitable spirit of those that shed sweat, blood and tears for something they feel so passionate about.  The Throwdown was an amazing example of this.  But in reality, I get to see that “will power” on a daily basis. I am so blessed to know that my job is to work with people who want more in life. To know that my entire job is based on the simple fact that “good enough” isn’t truly good enough; when it’s skinny vs. strong, strong always wins; when calluses, and tears are signs of hard work.

We say that every rep counts and your score is the time it took you to complete the workout, and while this is all fine and well. This doesn’t really matter, in fact I don’t care if you did “Fran” Rx or not , and regardless if you broke 300 on your “Fight Gone Bad”, none of these things truly matter.

What matters is the hard work that you push yourself above and beyond what you thought you could do. The impact of this hard work results in a better, more confident you. These things matter. If we can make that type of impact on everyone’s life that comes through that door, and breed that indomitable will in all our athletes, we are accomplishing what many tried to do before us.

Thank you for making this possible.
