NOT REALLY, BUT SORT OF…..

I was surfing Facebook this morning and read a post about a CrossFit gym owner who was fast approaching the 700 members mark. HOLY SHIT! The facility must be huge. I don't know how you keep track of 700 people. I have trouble remembering everyone's names at One World, and we only get 60-80 people working out a day. (I also drink a lot, and that probably doesn't help with the memory. Haha.)

I like our gym the way it is. I can speak for the other owners of One World and say that we never opened One World with the intent of getting rich. We all just wanted to have a really cool gym to train at with a bunch of really cool people. I think we succeeded.

I may not care about getting rich, but I care about each and every one of you. Because of my job, I'm not at the gym as much as I'd like to be, but please know I am available for you (almost) around the clock. Got questions about a workout? Worried about how to train around an injury? Notice a typo on the blog that is driving you crazy? Concerned about something at the gym? Hit me up via text (510-209-8990). I'm usually awake until midnight every night, and on W/T/F nights, I work graveyard. So, I'm pretty much available at any time. If I don't answer back right away, I will get to you first chance I get. One World is your gym just as much as it is my gym.

TRAIN HARD AND TRAIN HAPPY!

Well said Freddy! I really like(d) that about you, your gym and the other coaches at OneWorld. I worked out at your gym for like 5 weeks around Christmas and New Years in 2012/2013. The personal attention, small classes, and family type welcoming atmosphere is well appreciated.

What a heart felt post! Happy valentines day Freddie! Hahaha ya! I've thoroughly enjoyed the time at One World. I suspect my Crossfit experiences differs than many due to the many differences you listed in the post. Cheers! Keep up the good work and atmosphere.

Building a bigger CF box doesn't get you rich either, since you need more Coaches & equipment & space because CF'rs love to come to the gym. But, you get to help more people get fit. Do not do this if you want to get rich!
