Where it all began...




Does anyone remember this box?!?
What was your favorite memory from Atlas?


This is where it all began, a year ago. For those of you relatively new to CFKoP, this was our first official space. The day after Thanksgiving was our first WOD at the "little box"! Located in the basement of Atlas Chiropractor, many of us fondly refer to it as just "Atlas". As you can see there was just about enough room for one person to be "safely" lifting, 6 pull-up bars, 3 med balls, 5 Kettlebells and "only"13 mats; the plyo-boxes and bumper plates hadn't even arrived...WOW!! Fast forward a year and my how we have grown up... our 8,000 sq foot box hosts 170 mats, 32 pull-up bars, 30 med balls, 23 Kettlebells and more equipment than would even fit in "Atlas"!!

So...THANK YOU ALL!

Without everyone of you our community would not be as strong as it is and our CrossFit box wouldn't be this big! Your support over the last year has been unprecedented.

Happy Thanksgiving!

REST DAY!
