HONORING 9/11 HEROES @ CrossFit Scottsdale

Over the weekend, we traveled to Arizona, where long time friend and fellow fitness professional Luke Kayyem celebrated the GRAND OPENING of his very own box, CrossFit Scottsdale! The weekend started on friday by HONORING 9/11 HEROES with a workout along side soldiers from nearby Luke Air Force Base. An emotionally charged moment preceded the WOD when a soldier was re-enlisted with a swearing in ceremony. The following night they celebrated with an awesome party complete with DJ, fashion show and CrossFit demo! Congratulations to Luke and Najla Kayyem for hosting such an amazing weekend. They are well on their way to building a strong CrossFit Community.



Our friendship began many years ago at a health club in southern california and we continue to share a passion for helping people. Luke Kayyem is one of the few professionals in the industry that really cares about changing peoples lives for the better! Heres what he had to say about the weekend... included are a few videos Maribel captured with the FlipV.
