CrossFit Relentless (Diana and Merle Mckenzie) steps into the CrossFit Affiliate Snapshot. Affiliate Since: October 2009. Location: West Hartford, CT, USA. Sq Ft: 8500. Number of Members: 65 adults,10 CF kIds. How many times have you moved your affiliate location: Never, just expanded from 6500 by adding a 2000 sq ft CF Kids room. Number of Trainers: 4 including myself. Greatest joy as a CrossFit affiliate: There are 2. Calling my own shots and the smiles on my CF Kids faces! Keep reading! There's more . . . Biggest worry as a CrossFit affiliate: The president ruining the economy so much that even a good CrossFit box might not survive. Do you Facebook? Or Twitter? Facebook. Not enough time for Twitter. Do you blog daily? Yes. Twice a day, one for our adults and once for our CF Kids. If you could give new CrossFit affiliates one piece of advice, what would it be? Be passionate about what you do above all else and people will follow. Complete the sentence: CrossFit is . . . the healthiest, all consuming,life altering endeavor a person can make. Biggest lesson you've learned as a small business owner: If you don't wake up every morning excited for the day you're in the wrong line of business. Gym dog? Or no gym dog? Ben, English yellow lab.

amazing! how did they get that many people in october 2010? since we are may of 2010? just a typo for sure, but nice to see our boxes doing well. Comment #1 - Posted by: craig at May 2, 2010 11:37 AMI had to look at my calender to make sure I didnt skip a year. lol Ah yes, freedom of speech, our military members put their lives on the line for over 200 years so someone who can't get the year right can bash the president anywhere any time. Comment #3 - Posted by: John at May 2, 2010 5:48 PMhey john setting up the president to blame for your future failures is the most american thing to do Comment #4 - Posted by: steve at May 2, 2010 5:55 PMThe government told me I should have a faster FRAN time! Comment #5 - Posted by: Lupe Sanchez at May 2, 2010 6:05 PMEasy Johnny Boy, Merle is a stand-up guy. His partner in CFR is currently serving in Iraq, so relax. It's a typo. Comment #6 - Posted by: Randy T. at May 2, 2010 6:55 PMYEAH MERLE~KEEP ROCKIN' IT! Comment #7 - Posted by: Kim Malz~FitMom/CrossFit Persevere at May 2, 2010 6:55 PMI also find it interesting/sad that the first five comments under this post referenced nothing positive at all about CFR's amazing success.... Comment #8 - Posted by: Randy T. at May 2, 2010 6:57 PMA good CF gym will survive no matter who is president, so do not blame the leader of our country. Just a quick piece of advice..one should keep their religious and political views to themseselves, no one wants to hear them. At the end of the day you are a coach, not a correspondent for CNN. Comment #9 - Posted by: Billy Madison at May 2, 2010 7:15 PMA good CF gym will survive no matter who is president and no one should be blaming the president. A piece of advice..keep your religious and political views to yourself; no one wants to hear them. You are are coach, not a correspondent for CNN. Comment #10 - Posted by: Billy Madison at May 2, 2010 7:19 PMNice work Diana & Merle! Keep up the phenomenal work, especially with the kids. It's so fun to make CF fun for everyone, but the kids make it special!

Comment #15 - Posted by: Glenn at May 3, 2010 2:59 AMGod i remember Gloria Gaynor very well and what a excellent performer.
