In pursuit

Today Mark taught his first Crossfit class. It was the result of 3 years of training at On Track, working with the owners on their online presence, making and meeting personal fitness goals, and beginning to dream about doing more than just attending.

So, about a month ago, he approached Brian Stites, the gym owner, about the possibility taking our 6 month membership fee and putting it towards his L1 certification. He was nervous to ask, because he didn't want to offend Brian or put him in a weird position. But Mark is brave. He sent the email and waited anxiously for a reply. I was nervous by association. 

And Brian was excited about it! He cleared the idea with his board and gave Mark the go ahead. 

Mark spent the next 6 weeks studying every chance he got and then attended the certification classes over October 3-4. He took the test and came back home. Almost a week later, he received his results...

PASS!!!

He is an L1 certified Crossfit Trainer. 

He shadowed Janelle on Monday, Brian on Tuesday and taught his first class on Thursday (with Brian observing) ((so scary)).

And he did great. So great. 

He is now teaching the early morning classes every Tuesday and Thursday. And I couldn't be prouder of him. He amazes me with his determination and integrity. And I'm so grateful that he is doing something he loves and makes him feel excited. 






We are so proud of you, Mark!
