We know many of you follow the world of CrossFit in a number of ways and in a number of degrees. As we’ve already started to see some of our members posting on the subject we felt compelled to be brief, but get something out there quickly and not wait until tomorrow.

Our country clearly has a number of horrible issues going on with it. We’ve always been respectful and open to any and everyone at CVCF, not because it’s the right thing to do, but because we honestly don’t care who you are, how you look, what your job is, how much money you make, we just care that you are a good person and I strongly believe we’ve always carried an amazing group of people at CVCF. I’ve stated many times before I would happily hang out, or go out to dinner with any of the people who call CVCF their home because as far as my radar goes, we don’t have any bad apples, and any we’ve had haven’t lasted.

Amid our own personal/business “crisis” and re-building, we also have a crisis going on within our country, and now the owner of CrossFit has come out with some less than choice words and view points sparking outrage within our own community. We have and will always want any person to feel comfortable and welcomed at CVCF, Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Indian, Straight, Gay, Trans, the list goes on. We love you all as long as you’re good people.

We want to be known for the amazing community we have, and provide support to anyone who may need it, and thus will be distancing ourselves from our “mother brand” and ending our affiliation with CrossFit HQ.

In doing so nothing changes about who we are or what we are, except for the name CrossFit will be removed from our banner. This will not be an overnight process as there will be a number of resources involved and needed as we re-brand to Champlain Valley Community Fitness, CVCF!

In addition we will be doing a pre-order T-Shirt/Tank where all the proceeds will be going to a yet to be determined foundation/organization (if anyone has recommendations please let us know). THE shirt option is below Black shirt with Black print. We will be sending out a link early this week for pre-order.

We always want everyone to feel welcome at CVCF and, we don’t care who you are. Come in, train hard, have fun, be honest, be good, be real. Thank you all for creating an amazing environment that we can all enjoy. See you tomorrow!
