Written by C.J. Martin

Those of you working out in the evenings may have seen Ari (pictured above) completing some brutal workout. It is not, as some of you might suspect, a form of punishment for some unknown gym misconduct. Ari has a specific goal in mind, and his goal requires individualized training. Over the past couple of months Ari and I have met three times a week to strengthen weaknesses and develop skills that will help him reach his goals outside of Invictus.

Ari’s progress has been astonishing. He’s performing well in workouts most people wouldn’t want any part of, and cut his time on our benchmark workout by nearly 20% in just five weeks. But most importantly, he now knows that he is capable of far more than he had ever expected. I want to congratulate Ari on his success in the gym, and wish him the best of luck as he begins to conquer goal after goal outside of Invictus.

Second, I just heard from our friend Jobst Olschewski, who visited CrossFit Invictus for a few weeks over the summer. Jobst is now settled in Cape Town, South Africa and recently celebrated the Grand Opening of Cape CrossFit (pictured below). Pop over to his site and drop him a quick note wishing him the best.

Congratulations Jobst. The entire CrossFit Invictus community wishes you the best.
