This video is my "WHY". This is WHY I do what I do. This is WHY I wanted to open a gym and show people they're capable of more than they think. This is WHY I get up early every day and go to bed late every night. This is WHY I've been doing this for 20 years and this WHY I'll continue to do it for another 20. Thank you to my wife Lorrie and my daughter Lexa for all of your support. Every day I want to be better for you, because of you. Thank you to all of my coaches who have... been with me for years through thick and thin. Thank you to all of our members over the years who have grown and shaped Starke into what it is today. I'm trying to make it better every day for you. https://youtu.be/-PkoCHzkpbY

Here’s a quick little informational video on how to successfully navigate your first mask it Monday

Well it looks like we’ll have some new requirements starting next week for training. We’ve weathered many storms in the past and we will continue to do so in the future. We’ll put out more info and requirements as we come up with more information over the weekend but we’re looking forward to continuing coaching all of you and helping you to stay as fit, strong and healthy as possible. We’ve got this...

New @concept2inc Bike is in. Took it for a test ride today and she’s pretty sweet but don’t take my word for it... #alllegsbaby You beat us to it @hogberglukas

Deep in thought or deep in squat you decide... @drrobwaller looking like a baller with some bells of steel. #hardworkpaysoffs

@laciekreviazuk just checking to see if coach is watching and if she can jump off the bike a little sooner Just kidding Lacie. You’re probably looking to see if you can get away with dong more Always working hard and playing hard

Be passionate, patient, persistent and consistent with what you do and not only will you see results but you’ll enjoy the journey. @craiggilbert_ found doing what he loves. Picking things up and putting them down...

Every time you get knocked down you have the option of staying down or getting your back up. Be the person who’s always getting back up... @julieo getting stronger every damn day...

Sisters that sweat together get jacked AF together We LOVE seeing family members training together. Brothers and sisters, parents, grandparents. There’s something g special about family members grinding out workouts in the same class getting them stronger and bringing them closer. @tinaloscerbonowosad and @lisabestcare are always hitting weekly sister sweat sessions and it’s always a great sight.

Strength will never come to you, it is built over time. Not over hours or days but months and years. Becoming stronger mentally, physically and emotionally is like carving a statue. You chip away weakness, uncertainty, and doubt. The more you chip away the more you’re left with a desired outcome. This can take years but it’s worth the wait, the journey and the experiences. @rebecca_j_brown always getting stronger with no signs of slowing down...

Work hard and play hard. Life can throw a lot at us and we can take a lot. Sometime you need to do the best you can with what you have and where you’re at and know that it’s enough. @kerryrosepunton always giving her best and listening to her body. #prouddcoach

We love it when men go deep. Like really deep... No seriously. When someone can drop it like it’s hot into the bottom of a squat it’s a thing of beauty (insert bottom lip biting emoji if they had one here) We’re not all built the same with varying heights, limb lengths, socket structures and depths, but we can all find ways to get into our best squat possible. ... If you don’t know where or how to start ask one of our coaches and they’ll have you droppin it like it’s hot into the bottom of YOUR squat in no time. #word Male models @markusminarik @richard_cantalejo @quinton.gowler

When you’re trying to take a candid photo of @vandergrinten after a workout but he pulls a fast one on ya and gives you a creepy smile Always so much fun to have this strong mans in class...

Congratulations to these four for stepping back onto a slightly different competition floor yesterday. Things looked a little different doing a virtual competition but the one thing that didn’t change was the adrenaline, the excitement of competition and leaving it all out there on the floor. The cheers from other members and spectators who came to hang around and lend support was awesome as well. This is something that had been missing for a while with everything that’s been... going on so thank you to Prairie CrossFit for coming up with a solution to the competition that was supposed to happen in March and being a pioneer for this new type of comp. for the next little while. A HUGE congratulations to our four Starke Gladiators who took to the competition floor with Faye taking FIRST PLACE in her division, John taking FIRST PLACE in his division, Nikita taking SECOND PLACE in his devision and Nicholas taking FIFTH PLACE in his division. The thing we are most proud of is the way our athletes moved and conducted themselves which ALWAYS comes above placing. They were all moving well with high quality standards and wanted to cause as minimal disruption with the morning class that was going on at the same time. You guys are all awesome and have made your Starke family proud #betterthanyesterday #hwpo
