When Mariette joined CrossFit Torque back in December, she had a very clear reason for starting.
She wanted to be strong enough to take care of the people she loves.
Specifically, she wanted to be strong enough to pick up her aging mother if she needed to.
That kind of motivation runs deeper than aesthetics or weight loss. It’s about capability. Independence. Being ready for the moments that matter.
But strength wasn’t the only thing Mariette was searching for.
Like many people, she had tried other gyms over the years.
Some were good.
But none quite felt like the right fit.
Then she walked through the doors at Torque.
Mariette describes what she felt right away with one word:
Belonging.
In her own words:
“Belonging: a deep sense of being seen, accepted and valued. The comfort of knowing you are not alone. Where your heart feels at home, just as you are.”
And she says that’s exactly what she found at CrossFit Torque.
“At CrossFit Torque you will have a sense of belonging as soon as you step foot in the door. No matter what your age or fitness level is, there is something here for you.”
From the very beginning, she felt the difference.
“The coaches and the members treat you like family and are so encouraging. This is such a special community of people who want you to succeed!”
For Mariette, one of the most rewarding parts of training has been noticing the small wins that add up week after week.
She describes that moment many members know well — the realization that something that once felt impossible suddenly becomes possible.
“It’s the best feeling when, at the end of your workout you realize, ‘Hey! I couldn’t do that last week and now I can.’”
Those small victories build confidence.
And confidence builds momentum.
After trying several gyms over the years, Mariette says the difference at Torque is the community.
“I’ve tried a few gyms over the years, all were good but not what I was looking for. At Torque, I found a community that is so welcoming and encouraging.”
That welcoming environment is what allows people of all ages and fitness levels to feel comfortable starting — and confident continuing.
“Every workout can be adjusted to fit your fitness level.”
Which means progress is always possible.
Not long after joining, Mariette sent a message that perfectly captures what we hope every member feels.
“I love this! There is something special about Torque. I’ve tried many gyms over the past few years and since the day I joined, I’ve felt like I’ve found the place I belong. You have created something special.”
Strength is important.
Progress is important.
But belonging?
That’s what makes people stay.
And for Mariette, it’s what makes CrossFit Torque feel like home.
