T minus 11 days!
In less than two weeks, or on September 14th, we will be moving Helo to its new temporary location!
I find myself reflecting on the last 6 years and everything that has been created. When Julia and I opened Helo in September of 2013, we had just lost my mom, Tristan was a month old, and I left my job at Rio Tinto. The leap we took together was huge. Then I think of Preston, Ben and Kyle joining on as coaches, along with Kris, Jess, Manny, and Stef, and the crew has been pretty awesome. And, it’s hard not to get emotional when I think about all of the friendships that have been built, or all of you who are and have been members – it’s a community but you have all become our family. The families that have grown, babies being born, loved ones lost, the weddings, the Christmas parties, and the barbecues that we have shared together. And of course – the going to war together every day on the box floor. Blood, sweat, tears, and laughter have all been shared on that floor, in practice and in competition, and we have all been in it together.
Simply put – Crossfit Helo is not just a warehouse space that we are renting (or a building next year that we will own), and it’s not any single member or coach – you are the lifeblood and you have created a community and network that thrives both inside and outside of Helo.
And now, those memories will always be with us but we are excited to take on this new space and it’s time to change where we make our new memories going forward! We recognize that given our current spot has so much character – that this will take some time to replicate in the new building but we are looking forward to the opportunity to do so and want to start a new chapter. It’s a temporary spot but we want it to feel like home until our new building is ready to occupy next year so we are fully committed to making it great!
So, to conclude for the next 11 days – make sure you get into the box and take it all in! Let’s make the next 11 days special before we move on and turn the page!!
Thanks for reading!
Sincerely,
Coach Alecio
