Our Culture In One Word: Supportive
We are a gym filled with friends and family who are supportive of your every move. We applaud you when you succeed. We encourage you when you have doubt. We motivate when you struggle. We pick you up when you fall down, dust the dirt off your back, and tell you to try again. We are a place you want to be and we are people you want to be around.
Our Mission: We’ve Got Your Back
CFOIB offers a unique school of fitness for all walks of life; age, sex, nationality, race, creed, or political beliefs. No matter if you are young, old, new, big, small, tall, skilled, or inexperienced; we’ve got your back. We pull from multiple training philosophies, bringing out the best from each in order to deliver a one of a kind program. The purpose of our training is to provide the greatest, healthiest, and most efficient results possible. However, our training provides much more than speed, endurance, strength, muscle growth, and fat loss. We are more than just cool equipment and a workout. The training always promises to be challenging, unique, and creative in ways that sparks inspiration for our athletes. When athletes are finished with each session, they will learn something about themselves and feel invigorated, realizing how much they can truly accomplish when driven. The training at CrossFit OIB will develop strength physically & mentally for each athlete. We believe that strengthening one’s body & mind allows a person to reach their full potential in all aspects of life. We are a community offering support and inspiration to achieve your maximum potential.
Our Policy: Nothing But The Truth
All of our policies are right here out in the open for the whole world wide web to see. We will not have side deals, make exceptions to the rules, do under-the-table deals, or run a business where you cannot have faith in the the ownership.
Our Motto: If You Have A Body, You Are An Athlete
Whatever your role in life, from former collegiate athlete to house husband/wife, once you step into the CrossFit OIB box everybody is an athlete. Not one athlete should receive preferential attention from our coaching staff. Whether your name appears on the Rx board every day or you “scale for a living” everybody at CFOIB is treated equally. Any athlete can (and should) ask us for help on anything they feel they need assistance with. We are only an email, text, phone call, or shoulder tap away.
Our Belief: For The People, Not The Masses
Everyone can and should pursue health and fitness. We pride ourselves on being a box “for the people” not “for the masses”. Our program is not a one-size-fits-all. We are not cookie-cutter versions of each other so why would we parade you in front of a mirror and ask you to mimic a silly routine? We believe in tailoring our program for the individual athlete in order to achieve elite levels of health & performance.
Our Rule: Hi My Name Is ____
We require our members to know each other by AT LEAST a first name basis. And not in a creepy “You look like you workout. What’s your name & number” kind-of-way. If at any time we decide to quiz you and you do not know a member’s name, there’s a 20 burpee penalty to be paid. Get familiar!
So as a rule of thumb, when you see new faces in the box, stop what you’re doing and say hello!
