2020

How it began…

In early October of 2019, the dream of CrossFit Gratitude was born. Dustin had just had an emergency gallbladder surgery and while still in the hospital announced that he was opening a gym. Julie thought he was crazy yet supported his passion. On October 21st Dustin started searching for a location for a gym and found that Fuzion Gymnastics (up the hill from the current location) had a back corner available for rent. By December 10th all of the equipment had arrived and the rig building process had begun. Before opening day, however, the gym was relocated to the front of the building and on March 1st, 2020, CrossFit Gratitude was open for business!

With about ten members and two weeks worth of workouts in the books, COVID-19 rocked the world. CFG closed the doors one month after opening. Dustin posted workouts on social media and the members graciously kept the business alive.

CrossFit Gratitude quickly outgrew “the closet” and moved down the hill to its current location in May of 2021, just in time for “Murph”.
