Dawn of the Dead

"The Life We Lead..."

"The Life We Lead..."

This is the life we lead. Our hands hurt, our bodies are sore. Sometimes we cant grip anymore. Our backs are tight are lungs are spent, but for some reason we keep going. We don’t stop. We trek along this endless journey of elite fitness. We become more and more of an athlete daily. This is the life we lead. We don’t front. We don’t pull punches. We come day in and day out giving 110%. We are CrossFit IGNITE. Our warm up IS your workout, not just some dumb slogan. We train for the goal of setting a higher standard for the next time. This is not some fly by night quick weight loss scam.This is blood , sweat and No tears, THIS IS CROSSFIT IGNITE, THIS IS THE LIFE WE LEAD!….

Memorial Day

iraqwar2023

Just a brutal reminder that although we have tons of fun daily working out and creating new relationships at CrossFit IGNITE.  There is a still a war going on. A real war, where young men and women are dying everyday in honor and defense of our United States. All political views aside. We at CrossFit IGNITE support our young men and women who risks their lives day in and day out so we don’t have to. Take time to remember some of them today.
