The Awesome Growth of (and a Behind the Scenes Look at) the Box!
Hi All!
I’m going to give you a small peek at what is going on behind the scenes and what is exciting for me at the box!
As some of the members may, or may not, know – we send the coaches a weekly email regarding different things about Helo – it includes programming, upcoming events, new people, and different things of that nature. For a short time in those emails, I would mention becoming a million dollar box. Which, when I look back on that statement, it’s kind of odd to me because I’m not driven by money. I’m a person who likes to work hard at achieving the things I am passionate about – whether that is the things I want and/or what I believe in. Money is not at the foundation of that in my life. I will toss my heart into whatever it is I am focused on and I know the outcome will be positive if I keep my head down and grind. We opened Helo because we wanted to help people get fit, and stay fit late into their lives and that is exactly what CrossFit can do for you. There is no better program for overall fitness. And if there is, please tell me about it:)
With our move to the new location, I have re-focused my efforts during the wods back to what our original purpose was at Helo. Give people the best hour of their day and keep them fit and kicking butt until they are 100 years old! We want to continue to offer you guys and gals the best product out there. Moving forward Helo is doing awesome but we want to grow Helo and we have always been firm believers in not putting money into advertising and things like Groupons because we believe in quality. Instead – we are investing most of our money back into you all! Trying to give you the best experience possible. Whether it’s giveaways, Ragnar, bbqs, or any of the amazing parties we have – we know it’s with giving you the best product in mind!
So, I’m going to ask you folks for some help going forward as we continue to build our community. Most of our current members come from existing ones because at some time, it was your family, friends, or acquaintances, that you bumped into and chatted with them about Helo. You are, and have always been, our walking marketing ads and we are proud of each of you! Now, we need you all and your amazing examples to keep us growing! So, after the Open we are going to have a Bring a Friend day again for a period of time and we want you all to bring people into the box!! The other thing that really helps – is when you post on social media about different events or experiences you have at Helo. You would not believe how many people come into the box and say that they saw a post by a member about their weight loss, or the weight they moved in a wod, they experience they had, or the fun they had an event. Each of you are the walking, talking, and breathing advertising for Helo. And we could definitely use your continued help in those two areas!!
Finally, feedback is also always greatly appreciated, so let me know about things you like and don’t like. I don’t have everything figured out on how to run the best box as the head coach and we are constantly learning and trying new things – some good and some we learn from you – so feedback always helps.
Thanks so much for reading.
Sincerely,
Coach Alecio
