WOD 2/22/10

ATTENTION:  New Class Schedule will be put in place next Monday March 1st!

This will allow us to continue to increase the quality of our product here at CFM.  The new schedule will include slightly adjusted class times, New Level 1 Classes for beginning Crossfitters, and our 2 Part Elements Class which will focus on what Crossfit truly is about.  The New Schedule will be posted on our website very shortly.  Thanks for your flexibility as we continue to evolve our business.

Since creating CrossFit Maximus, many things have shaped the way I look and interact with the community around me.  One such thing is my view of the local business and the local business owner.  I have learned that local businesses are operated  by people who have invested their lives (in many instance their life savings) into creating an opportunity and a service for those around them.  Few if any get rich, and in many instances they are simply getting by or losing money.

Unlike the large national chain stores that frequently have million dollar advertising budgets, local business owners depend on the relationships that they develop within their community and with their customers.  Their customers mean something to them.  They must live, work, shop, etc within the community that they operate. Customers aren’t just numbers, they are neighbors. It is much easier to dismiss a customer if you never have to see them face to face and live thousands of miles away from their problem.

CrossFit Maximus is the epitome of a local business.  We live and work in this community and are personally and financially investing in creating a striving business here.  When you give us your business, it means something to us.  When you ask us a question, we answer it because we want to provide you with the best service possible.  Our clients are members of our community and we strive to treat them as such.

Thank you for investing in us. We know that there are other fitness options that provide much fancier buildings, lots of expensive equipment, and multitudes of amenities.  We will never have those things at CFM, nor do we want to.  We will however provide you with the most effective fitness program that exist run by some of the most dedicated and loyal people that I have ever met.

  1. Monkey’s message just totally shattered my mirror dream. :-P Then how about getting some stones to play?

I truely appreciate yours and everyone elses hard work at Crossfit even though at times I may do my own thing I appreciate what you’ll are doing to change peoples lives for the better!!!

  3. I would like to say your welcome for my buisness. But what really needs to be said is thank you!! Thank you for such a great gym and great team of people that are at crossfit. You can not get this stmosphere anywhere else!! Crossfit is the best gym in lexington by far. Can not be beat!! You all are doing an amazing job! Like I have said before, its one of the best parts of my day!!

  4. Thanks Jessica, Mike, and Christina. Just to quickly add to Sharp’s post. I personally came into CrossFit at the low point for my life re: my health. As of yesterday, I have been doing CrossFit for one year, and it has literally changed my life.

    As owners, not one of us bought into the business with the hope of a big financial reward, but rather to help others experience the same rewards that we have. As part of this, I have never seen a more committed group that has given so much, consistently, and with the right heart, as the one we have.

    Our members are a big part of this, and I look forward to seeing us all continue to push each other to be our best in every phase of our life.

    Please eat some ice cream. It appears that you are hypoglycemic, which is causing you to type out unintelligible sentences on the computer again.

  6. Affiliate WOD 3:08Rxd. Thanks to Jim Laird for improving my DL. There is no substitute for improved technique.

  7. Senior, please get a new pair of glasses. It appears that you are super-near-sighted, which is causing you to not be able to read out extremely intelligible sentences on the computer again! ;-)

  8. Well said Matt! I believe Crossfit Maximus has brought together such an exceptional group of people—both staff and members. Everyone has their heart in it and it shows!!

  9. Just one more reason I love CFM!! Y’all have changed so many lives and I think I can say that for myself and all the other members. CFM rocks!!

  10. I think each of you do an AMAZING job at CFM. I don’t make it in as often as I would like, but I appreciate the coaches motivating us to excel at our best. You will not find that support system at any other facility. Thank you CFM!!!

  11. Matt, thanks for the shoutout of Max Muscle Lexington. Michele and I took the entrepreneural leap 3 years ago in order to embrace our passions – educating others about healthy living and nutrition. When individuals support local businesses, the money they spend stays in the community in the form of salaries the local owner pays employees and himself, taxes both sales and property, advertising fees to local media, etc. That’s not the case with big box/internet retailers. Thanks for the support
