Letter from a Friend

To CrossFit East, CrossFit Amelia, CrossFit Jax, and all the other CrossFitters we know!!

Words are never enough.
We wanted to say Thank You to all the members of the CrossFit East family for the fabulous kettle bell you gave us for our send off. We have been using it for our workouts and it is fun to see all the nice messages on it while we are throwing it around.
Even more than that, we want to thank you all for the friendship over the past several years. We have really enjoyed getting to know you and the sense of community and friendly competition that we have shared. You all are such positive, motivating, fun and friendly people and we feel that just getting to be around you has made us strive to be better individuals. We are really looking forward to our new life in Colorado , and seeing what direction our lives may go, but we will really miss being a part of the CrossFit East team. Thank you for helping us become stronger, faster, healthier, and more focused, not only in our workouts, but in our lives.
Special thanks to TJ for teaching us about form, focus and community. To Mike Solis for his amazing self-discipline and ability to create workouts that appear un-doable, but in fact, are just plain hard. To Lance for introducing us to CrossFit and being patient while we muddled our way through the workouts. To Marsha: you are my hero. To Kyle and Lorraine for making it fun to have "groups". To Doug for his supportive and encouraging nature. And to Derek for his service to country.
It is not often you find a group of like minded people. We found that in all of you. Thank you all for allowing us to be part of your group. We have learned something from each of you about life, pushing our mental and physical limits, and just being better people.
We hope that you will consider coming to visit us, to play in the mountains, to see our small beautiful town, and to work out with us in our garage gym with our very special kettle bell!

Words are never enough.

Please keep in touch!
Alan and Faith Cook
