I know that Memorial Day holds a special place in the hearts of all of us. It's much more than just a paid day off work and chance to cookout at the lake. It's a day to remember the heroes that given their lives for the freedom that allows us to do those things. We'll be getting together for Murph to pay tribute to Lt. Michael Murphy as well as those countless other heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We'll be having two classes, 9am and 10am, so come out ready to give it your all! Also, if you want to register for the Murph Challenge you can follow the link below to do so. I know a couple of us have done it in the past. It's a great charity organization that helps families who have lost service members. You'll be able to read specifics on the website. Hope to see you all next Monday! - Chris https://themurphchallenge.com/ With an Influx of fresh meat for the CrossFit Grinder over the last few weeks, we wanted to create a file for all the crazy words we seem to make up as we explain the daily workouts! Please read it over and soon you will be teaching the newbies who walk through the door all the fancy CrossFit terminology!

I am pretty sure I drove my mom crazy until I left for college! But I am thankful for how my mom raised me to become the person I am today. Love ya, Momma! It is no different for your children, whom I have the pleasure of tripping over in the gym when you aren't looking! You all have amazing hearts and show nothing but compassion, support and love for your little ones to help them grow! You will always be there for them! While some may not realize all that you are doing for them... in time, they will come to realize that you are, and will always be, the most influential person in their life. Happy Mother's Day.
Your coach, Jessie Macias P.S. I know I am missing so many awesome moms in the pictures! Don't strangle me! I just didn't have any on my computer. Kevin and Kayla,
It has only been a week since you left us, but we are all missing you terribly and hoping for nothing but the best while you are away for the next few years! It feels like just a little while ago that you two stumbled in our doors, forced Kayla to join our Super Team for the Atlanta competition, and began taking on classes to give me hand!! Time flew by! I was a little glad that you didn't want to sign up for the Open under our Gym when you fist came in, since both of you kicked my butt!! I would not have been number 1 in the gym that year! Haha. Well...technicalities, forgetfulness from Chris Snipes, and Injuries for Chris Simmons may have also helped me along, but whatever! I'll take the Win! Once you began coaching here at Unyielding, you two started to connect with all of our wonderful members! We all welcomed your help and support as we grew stronger, together! Both of you have wonderful and kind hearts! Anyone is lucky to cross your paths! It was only a year and some change that you were with us, but it felt like we had known you guys forever. From all of us here at Unyielding.... Thank you for all your coaching and support. Thank you for the laughs. Thank you for all the memories. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! You two really really helped me out tremendously! We cannot wait to see what life has to offer the both of you! We will always be here when you decide to come back! Good luck and see you soon!!! -Jessie Macias |
