In spring of 2008, CrossFit Huntsville was born on the green floor in the Matrix gym. Each class, the rig would be moved out onto the floor, shoes and socks would be left at the door, and a handful of athletes would throw down. Back then, punishment was enforced for all athletes who didn’t have the top score, so everyone but the day’s top dog would slug through another workout that was more like torture than a WOD. Athletes would wade through the gymnastics pits carrying kettle bells, or climb the one rope barefoot and bare-legged. Quickly, much to everyone’s surprise, the number of people wanting to participate in this new and unconventional training grew, and CFHSV was growing and adding more classes by the month. In mid 2009, CrossFit Huntsville the affiliate became an LLC, and later than year moved from the Matrix into the first warehouse on Johnson Road. Affectionately known as “the dirty warehouse”, our new home was truly rustic in every way. A pull-up bar was welded into its permanent spot, and still barefoot most of the time, athletes threw down day after day, in a quest to get stronger, fitter and faster.
