Summary
The day has finally come to celebrate a vision nearly a decade in the making, as the doors to the Purple Patch Performance Center in San Francisco's historic Mission District officially open.
In this episode of the Purple Patch Podcast, IRONMAN Master Coach Matt Dixon takes us from seed to sprout with the story of how the performance center came to fruition through hard work, the endurance of spirit, and the adaptive evolution of the dream.
Matt takes us from a special idea tangled in red tape to an opening day threatened by the impacts of a global pandemic.
(22:07) "Greatness emerges from the ability to adapt, be changeable, and to navigate obstacles. And so the truth was that the center suddenly became a real-life situation of a phrase that we love at Purple Patch, we needed to evolve or die as a business, literally. And so we had no option, we had to adapt."
Matt gives us a preview of the center, its partners, and the services it provides, that embody the Purple Patch Pillars of Performance and helped make the dream of the Purple Patch Center come true.
With the official launch party set for October 20th, 2022, Matt welcomes everyone to attend the grand opening and to follow along today as he frames the vision for the center as a hub for local athletes of all levels and a beacon for athletes all over the world.
(38:58) "It's not just going to be elite athletes, there's going to be a hodgepodge, a melting pot of all different sorts of levels of focus and goals. The only key, the only demand is a thirst and desire and ultimately commitment to improve. And so this will attract, I hope, time-starved athletes. Really busy professionals and executives, parents that are looking to improve their energy and perhaps their body composition, and anyone that is invested in their personal health, performance, and energy throughout life."
The grand opening is a free event open to everyone. You don’t need to be a current Purple Patch member to attend. Feel free to bring your friends, family, and fellow fitness enthusiasts along to see what the Purple Patch Performance Center has to offer.
