15 Years of CrossFit Indestri - Thursday, July 3rd, 2025
15 Years of CrossFit Indestri
This Saturday, July 5th, marks 15 years since CrossFit Indestri officially became a CrossFit affiliate. A big deal then, an even bigger deal now.
In 2010, Scott Thornton received the official approval from CrossFit HQ for CrossFit Indestri. Scott was driven by a desire to recreate what he missed most from his NHL career, the locker room energy, the shared struggle, the deep connection that comes from doing hard things with like minded people.
It wasn’t until that September of 2010 that the doors officially opened for our very first workout, which is why we’ve always celebrated two anniversaries:
Affiliate Anniversary July 5th, the day it became real.
WODiversary September 13th, the day the doors opened for the first class.
Five years later, in 2015, Stouty, Steph, and I bought into the business, and since then, the three of us have proudly owned and operated CrossFit Indestri, from programming workouts, coaching classes, fixing broken rowers, planning events, handling every little detail you might not notice, but would absolutely miss if it wasn’t there.
Fifteen years in, this gym has become far more than a place to go to sweat.
It’s where real change happens, not just in how people move, and feel, but in how they show up. It’s where real community is built, not on flashy marketing, but on shared effort, trust, and experiences.
Over the years, thousands of athletes have trained with us. Some for a season, some for over a decade. Each one of them helped shape what this place is. We’ve watched relationships form, families grow, kids turn into adults, and people surprise themselves, over and over again, with what they’re capable of.
We’ve also been beyond lucky to have some of the best, most passionate, and knowledgeable coaches as part of our team. Coaches who care deeply, who lead with integrity, and who love Indestri just as much as we do. We're incredibly thankful for the energy, commitment, and heart they bring to the floor every single day.
We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built, and even more proud of the people who walk through our doors day after day.
So here’s to 15 years of CrossFit and community.
To the thousands and thousands of workouts, the early mornings, the late nights, the never ending days, the breakthroughs, the friendships, and everything in between.
We want to say thank you. For being here, for being part of it, and for continuing to make CrossFit Indestri what it is.
Here’s to the next 15 of CrossFit and Community.
