The biggest thing that hasn't changed is the community, the people.

Relationships that you meet and you hold.

I believe that's the core on why I still come.

Coming on 10 years being here, people is what makes this gym.

Hi there, my name is St. Jerogales.

I've been coming to Average Joe's since day one.

Average Joe's kind of started and as a discussion, it was a

bad. The owner at the time, he was a firefighter. He was very passionate about CrossFit and he would

always tell us about it. So one day I was just like, stop talking about it. How about you be about it?

And next thing you know, Average Joe's was born. Maybe a year in, I got diagnosed with

Grazed disease, which is a condition on my thyroid. The doctor put

me a strict order say, you can't work out until we get this under control. Once I came back, I didn't

know if I wanted to do CrossFit again. The owner at the time, he reached in and he was like,

no, this is what you need. You need to get back on the horse. Who knows if he wouldn't have been there and being my wingman to pull me back in here, that may have been the end of my prostit career. I'm glad he did. Definitely made some long life relationships. I'm a retired military guys, having those individuals that I met here at the gym to step in at any moment's notice and pretty much become family that I didn't even know I needed at the time until the time came, whether I needed help

with my kids or my wife needed a ride. Average Joe's had a huge benefit for me to have a good

mental state when I was downrange. And I think that's the beauty of this gym is just the

opportunity that you get to interact with different people. Like I said, people need people.

This can't possibly be the perfection loop.

It's called the fishing knot because if you put your hook on here,

it would just pull out if the fish, fuck, I thought I knew that knot.

You think it's the loops, the knots problem?

Or the executioners?
