Episode Synopsis
What truly turns a CrossFit box into a community? Coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic dissect the concept of community building within CrossFit Bison and how it has transformed from just a bunch of gym goers to a tightly-knit, diverse community. Community building within a fitness space is no easy feat. It's a balancing act between pushing members to go beyond their perceived limits and fostering an atmosphere of camaraderie. What is the right blend of performance and social interaction in order to create an environment where members feel both challenged and part of a family? We also delve into how essential it is to understand a potential hire as a coach, as this significantly impacts the atmosphere within the gym.Lastly, we navigate the intricate relationship between coaching and the overall gym atmosphere and how crucial it is to welcome new members into the community. We also ponder about what type of member a community-focused gym might attract. As we share our insights and experiences, join us on this journey to build a successful CrossFit gym - a gym that's not just about breaking a sweat but about the power of community.@crossfitbison @crossfittraining @crossfit @crossfitgames #crossfit #sports #exercise #health #movement #crossfitcoach #agoq #clean #fitness #ItAllStartsHere #CrossFitOpen #CrossFit #CrossFitCommunity @CrossFitAffiliates #supportyourlocalbox #crossfitaffiliate #personalizedfitness
