Fourteen years.
That’s how long one of our members has been part of CrossFit Torque.
Fourteen years of workouts.
Fourteen years of life changes.
Fourteen years of friendship.
Recently, she sent us a note reflecting on that longevity — not just of the gym, but of the relationships built inside it.
She wrote:
“I have been thinking about the longevity of our friendship and Torque. We are similar in that we can count on one hand what is most important to us: family, friends, leading a good life, love your job, and laughing. Both of you lead that as Moms, spouse and Coaches. And those values are entwined at Torque.”
That word — entwined — says everything.
Because Torque has never just been about fitness.
It’s been about values.
Family.
Friendship.
Doing meaningful work.
Laughing hard.
Showing up fully — even when you don’t feel like it.
She went on to say something incredibly real:
“There are days I don’t want to workout, but Torque is a place I look forward to going to.”
Not because every workout is magical.
But because of what happens inside the walls.
“Some days looking forward to the workout, some days looking forward to seeing you and friends, or some days just comfort after a crappy day.”
And that’s it.
Looking forward to it — whatever it is that day.
That’s the purpose.
Some days, it’s pushing yourself.
Some days, it’s catching up with friends.
Some days, it’s just being somewhere steady when life feels chaotic.
When you’ve built something people look forward to — not out of obligation, but because it feels like home — that’s special.
Fourteen years doesn’t happen because of hype.
It happens because of consistency.
Shared values.
Mutual respect.
Real relationships.
It happens because Torque isn’t something you outgrow.
It grows with you.
As a mom.
As a spouse.
As a professional.
As a human navigating seasons of life.
Here’s looking forward to so many more years.
Not just of workouts.
But of friendship.
Of laughter.
Of showing up — even on the days you don’t want to.
