2021 was literally one of our best years ever at CrossFit Main Line – more member visits, more PRs and more new members than any other single year, despite the challenges caused by the pandemic. As a result, I have tremendous hope for the future success of CrossFit, our affiliate and most importantly for the health of our community. We are “a lifeboat against a tsunami of chronic disease” and an island of “healthy normal” in a crazy abnormal world. 2022 may start a little rough, but we’ll gain momentum every week and soon, it will feel like 2019 all over again, only better. Thank you to our coaches, support team and our community for making 2021 an amazingly successful year.
