CHEERS TO 5 YEARS

Five years ago today we opened up CrossFit Kilo 2. It was an exciting time for me and a lot of other people and since then our community has grown into something very special. We have welcomed so many wonderful people into this community. When I first opened and more people were signing up I thought they would never leave haha. In a college town, Iowa City inevitably has people moving in and moving out and the saddest thing about being a gym owner is saying goodbye to great people when life takes them elsewhere. But I’m lucky to welcome more people into our community all the time and keep the memories I have made with those who have moved on close to my heart.

Throughout the past five years so many people have accomplished so much. And done so in such a short amount of time. 5 years seems long but in the grand scheme of things it’s nothing. Everyone’s hard work and commitment continues to pay off day by day. It is fun to witness the growth in so many people day in and day out. Sometimes it is important to take a moment and think about what you have accomplished. It is easy to always think about the next goal or next pr. So don’t forget to pat yourself on the back every now and then about how far you’ve come. It is amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it and stick with the process.

The members and staff of CrossFit Kilo 2 have made this place a fantastic place to exercise. So many people have come up to me and said they wouldn’t know what to do without Kilo 2 in their lives and comments like that mean a lot. We’re happy that you’re taking initiative with your health and fitness and wanting to do that here. This type of discipline rubs off on other people and that is definitely needed in today’s society. Our referrals that we get are so positive and that is what helps our community grow and thrive. Continue to be a leader and share what a cool thing we got going on down here. Others see your improvements and that has a huge impact! More will follow and accomplish so much.

There are so many people to thank, but the biggest thank you goes to our community of members. Thank you for staying invested and making CrossFit Kilo 2 apart of your life. It is a pleasure for me and our staff to coach all of you! We are truly grateful for you all and that is how we went from a little old Diamond Vogal paint store transformed into the gym that we have today. The OG’s know what I’m talking about! THANK YOU! -Aus
