CrossFit Forth Worth steps into the CrossFit Affiliate Snapshot. Affiliate Owner: Darin & Michele Deaton. Date of Affiliation: Feb 20, 2009. Location: Haltom City, TX Square Footage: 2200 sq/ft. Number of members: 70. How many times have you moved your affiliate location? None. Number of trainers: 4. Greatest joy as a CrossFit Affiliate? Our greatest joy as a CrossFit affiliate is to see the lives of our members change and improve their quality of life. Their goals and challenges are our goals and challenges. Biggest worry as a CrossFit Affiliate? Our biggest concern is that the pure nature of CrossFit will become commercialized to the point that it will no longer have the characteristics that Greg and Laura Glassmen first created. Facebook? Twitter? Blog? We Facebook and Twitter. We blog daily If you had Coach Greg Glassman's ear, what would you ask him? If I had Coach Glassmen's ear I would want to know what his greatest concern is regarding CF? If you could give new CrossFit affiliates one piece of advice, what would it be? Start small, focus on quality and never dilute your product and follow your passion. Also, treat it like the business that it can be! Complete the sentence: CrossFit is . . . a life changing, personal development experience that can develop habits that are a springboard for success in other areas of our lives!(constantly varied, high intensity, functional LIVING! Zoi!) Biggest lesson you've learned a small business owner: The biggest lesson I have learned as a small business owner I learned years ago in my other primary business, physical therapy practice. I learned to never cut corners and treat the business big even when it is small. Do the things that need to be done to create an environment of success for the future. Daily routine is the key to our success! 3 words or less describe your affiliate culture: Community, passion, fitness. Gym Dog?

Crossfit is Community. Crossfit Fort Worth has a fantastic member base, that train hard and support each other. I'm blessed to be part of such a great group of athletes. Comment #1 - Posted by: Clayton Martin at January 31, 2011 5:28 AMThe community at CrossFit Fort Worth is hands down the best in Texas. Darin and his team really care about technique, form and overall wellness of each member of their box. They are constantly doing fun things for their members and their families. We are so happy to have them in Fort Worth and be a part of their growth...because they are definitely growing! Anytime someone tells me they want to start getting into CrossFit, I tell them they MUST go here (and I think that is a compliment). This box is where you will fall in love with the sport. Comment #2 - Posted by: Isis (TheRunningCouple) at January 31, 2011 6:04 AMI can't believe we have the community that we do! Each day at the box I am reminded of why we first started CF, community. When I first stumbled across CF, it was just me training in the local rec center and then in my backyard. Our goal was to have a place where anyone could come and train who wanted evidenced based fitness. We have that! Thanks to all the CFFTW members and the community at large for supporting fitness that actually does what it advertises, change lives! Coach D Comment #3 - Posted by: Coach D at January 31, 2011 6:13 AMThanks to our wonderful community! CFFTW is what it is due to the great members that we have and the CF atlarge. Thanks Glassmen's for providing this incredible model of fitness and promoting open source growth of CF! Comment #4 - Posted by: Coach D at January 31, 2011 6:17 AMWhat a great box! Darin and Michele put everything into making it a community and top notch fitness facility. The environment is incredibly encouraging for all levels of athletes. And Darin brings that added element of being a licensed physical therapist with extensive knowledge of bio-mechanics. They are passionate about improving the lives of their members!
