What does it take to keep the magic alive in a community that thrives on grit and perseverance? Coaches David Syvertsen @davesy85 and Sam Rhee @bergencosmetic invite you on a nostalgic journey as we count down to the 2025 CrossFit Open. Reflecting on our CrossFit Bison family, we share personal stories from past Opens, particularly the unforgettable "point ones," and how these moments have become a cornerstone in defining our gym's vibrant culture. As we look ahead, we discuss the importance of staying true to the core values of the Open, ensuring that every athlete, from novice to veteran, finds inspiration and meaning in the experience. Remember the chaos of 16.1? It was more than just a workout; it was a test of creativity and adaptability as we navigated logistical challenges in our cozy gym space. The overhead walking lunges, bar-facing burpees, and chest-to-bar pull-ups pushed us to our limits while underscoring the power of community spirit. This episode explores how intra-gym competitions have evolved, adding a dynamic edge to our events. Yet, amidst the rising competitiveness, we highlight the essential balance needed to maintain a healthy and supportive environment where everyone feels valued and motivated. Navigating the Open during COVID-19 taught us resilience and adaptability in ways we couldn't have anticipated. Competing in masks was a unique challenge, but it couldn't contain the fire within us. From memorable performances in 21.1 featuring wall walks and double unders, to the strategic lessons learned along the way, we relive those surreal moments that strengthened our bonds. Sharing our journey of recovery, growth, and community support, we aim to inspire all athletes to embrace challenges as opportunities for self-discovery and transformation. Join us as we share insights and stories that celebrate the indomitable spirit of the CrossFit Open. @crossfitbison @crossfittraining @crossfit @crossfitgames #crossfit #sports #exercise #health #movement #crossfitcoach #agoq #clean #fitness #ItAllStartsHere #CrossFitOpen #CrossFit #CrossFitCommunity @CrossFitAffiliates #supportyourlocalbox #crossfitaffiliate #personalizedfitness…
