Farewell to 5th Ave
The Box is closed today.
It was December 26th 2010 when Iz and I moved into this little Box.. I will never forget that day, the “Blizzard of 2010” hit that day and a small group of Athletes came together and literally moved all the equipment we had for time. When we first opened up, the Box looked really empty, but the workouts were boss! I remember our first christmas at the box, all the athletes got together and gave us some much needed gear as a gift. We had soooo many fun parties here, my favorite was the masquerade, it was so nice to see everyone all decked out. I’m never gonna forget these moments. 5th ave was so much fun, but today July 29th 2014 is our last day here. I am going to miss this place, but I sure look forward to the move!
To my founding members, those of you who have been with us since the beginning.. Thank you for beliving in us, thank you for your dedication, guidance and encouragement. To the rest of this community, I know that we will be friends for the rest of our lives, growing old together is going to be so much fun. We can be a huge group of old FIT people
I look forward to making new memories on 3rd ave, I know you guys are going to like it a lot. I can’t wait to have some fun! See you there 🙂
I love you guys.
Coach TamBot, Crying
Meet us on 3rd ave and 26th Street on Friday NIGHT for our first day at the new Box!
Tams – I shed a tear too – love you back. Keep believing in yourself – you and Iz are real treasures. From strength to strength!
I guess this is why you shouldn’t check blogs while at work…. crying behind my math curriculum,
Good luck in the new spot! I miss 5th ave every day (but never the R train, not even once)!
Sico! What up big homie??
Well that was a BOOM WOD and one I will never forget- that shit was tough as nails- this is one of those WODS on paper that just doesn’t add up- but then again I think I totally missed that 10 rounds thing. Nice one Iz..looking forward to what is in store at 3rd Avenue! All good stuff here!
