At CrossFit Be Someone, we believe fitness isn’t just about barbells and burpees. It’s about building a life you’re excited to live. For the past six years, we’ve made it a tradition to host a yearly gym vacation, and every year it just keeps getting better. What started as a simple barge party has evolved into full-on adventures where the fitness you’ve earned in the gym gets to shine in the real world.
Why do we do it? Because we never want our athletes to think the goal is just to be good at working out. The goal is to use your fitness in real life. Whether that means hiking to a mountain lake, horseback riding across scenic trails, dancing all night with friends, or taking on an activity you never thought you’d do, these trips are proof that what we do inside the gym empowers you outside of it.
These vacations are our way of showing that all your hard work pays off beyond the whiteboard. It pays off in unforgettable experiences, stronger relationships, and a better, more capable you.
From Barge Parties to Full-Blown Adventures
Our first gym vacation was simple. A barge party, some sunshine, and a group of athletes who wanted to relax and have fun together. It was casual, laid-back, and centered around community. But over time, we saw the opportunity to do more. We wanted to create moments where your fitness could be expressed in beautiful, challenging, and unforgettable ways.
Since then, our gym vacations have grown. We’ve gone hiking, horseback riding, zip-lining, exploring new cities, and so much more. Every trip brings something new. And every year, we see people stepping outside their comfort zones, pushing themselves, and doing things they might not have imagined themselves doing.
These experiences are powerful. They build confidence. They create stories. And they bond people together in a way that only shared challenge and adventure can.
The Power of Community Outside the Gym Walls
One of the top reasons people walk through our doors at CrossFit Be Someone is community. Sure, they want to get fitter, stronger, or leaner. But many are also looking for real connection. They want to be around people who will challenge them, support them, and encourage them to grow.
Our yearly gym vacation creates the perfect opportunity to deepen those connections. When you travel with others, you build bonds that go far beyond the workout floor. Whether you're splitting a cabin, laughing around a fire pit, or helping each other through a tough trail, you begin to realize that these are not just workout partners. These are friends. These are people who will show up for you in and out of the gym.
We’ve seen these trips turn gym acquaintances into lifelong friends. And that is exactly the kind of culture we are proud to build.
A Reminder of Why You Train
There is nothing like being halfway through a steep hike and realizing you’re not winded. Or getting on a horse for the first time and feeling strong, stable, and confident. These are the kinds of moments where it all clicks. You start to realize that you’ve been training for more than fitness. You’ve been training for this.
All the early mornings, the tough workouts, the moments when you wanted to quit but didn’t, those are what prepared you. You don’t just feel strong in the gym. You feel strong in life.
Our goal is never to train you just to be good at CrossFit. Our goal is to train you so you can live a full, active, exciting life. These vacations are a celebration of that philosophy. They are a chance to use your fitness in meaningful ways and to remember what it’s all for.
Creating Moments That Matter
Not every member is able to join every year, and that’s okay. But for those who do, we do everything we can to make these trips unforgettable. We choose places and activities that allow people to unplug, recharge, and reconnect. We want you to come back feeling inspired and reminded of just how far you’ve come, not only in your physical journey but in your mindset and community as well.
It is always a privilege to create these opportunities for our members. Planning these trips is one of the best parts of what we do because we know how impactful they are. They bring us closer. They push us forward. They give us perspective. And they remind us that fitness is just the starting point.
So if you’ve never joined us for one of these gym vacations, we hope you’ll consider it. You’ll laugh, challenge yourself, try something new, and build memories with people who make life better. You’ll return with new motivation and a deeper connection to what it means to be part of CrossFit Be Someone.
Keep showing up in the gym, because life is waiting. And it’s a lot more fun when you’re fit enough to fully live it.
