Thank You From Jason
Jason wanted me to share this with everyone:
Dearest Crossfitters,
I’d like to take a second and thank all of you for making my time at Crossfit Charlottesville such a wonderful experience. To Kyle, Landon and Chris, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to teach others about the great things we do at this gym. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time as a trainer, and hopefully I managed to actually teach people a few things in the process. To everyone I trained, thank you for being such amazing clients. Helping everyone improve and succeed is a tremendously rewarding thing, and I’m grateful for being able to share in those successes with you. You were all friendly, caring, and hard-working, which made my job a whole lot easier.
I will miss many things about Charlottesville, but this gym and its community are among the things I will miss the most. Keep PRing, take care, and please come visit me and Lydia (and baby!) in Boston!
Thanks for being a part of our gym! We’ll miss you!
