2014 was a year of wonderful accomplishments for Precision CrossFit. I listed as many as I could think of here. Know this, many of these things could not of been achieved without the support of Team Precision. I say this all the time: Team Precision is all of us. We are a community made stronger by each person, for each one of you is a link in a chain. This chain cannot be broken because of the bond that we all have with each other. Many will try and break it, but they will fail because our love for each other is strong. We are divided by no one. We come together from all walks of life and wear our blue proudly. We do not believe in competition teams. No athlete or group of individuals will ever be bigger than the gym. We believe in the name on the front of the shirt and not about the name on the back, because “Together We are One.” When our athletes represent Precision, they know they are representing all of you. That you want them to succeed empowers them to success. Here is to a spectacular 2015 Precision CrossFit. Let’s get it!
