The Serenity Prayer, Strength and Community Action

On July 4th, 2025, devastating floods swept through the Texas Hill Country. Even if you didn’t know the victims personally, many of us wept for them. They were neighbors, friends of friends, and part of the fabric of our Texas community. We felt powerless. But as true Texans, we did what we do best—we came together to help.

At CrossFit Odyssey, that belief in resilience and action runs deep. John and I built this gym not just to help people look strong, but to help them be strong—for themselves, their families, and their community. That’s why we’re turning our 12-Year Anniversary into a fundraiser to support Kerrville flood victims.

At CrossFit Odyssey, we live by a simple truth: hard things make us stronger. A tough workout. A personal challenge. A disaster recovery effort. Each test of resilience gives us a deeper appreciation for the life we’ve been given.

That’s why this fundraiser is designed exactly like our philosophy: something hard, followed by something fun. Because strength and gratitude go hand in hand.

Join us. Sweat with us. Give with us. Even if you don’t want to work out, come cheer, donate, and be part of something bigger than yourself.

Together, we can turn strength into service—and make the world a better place, one rep and one act of kindness at a time.
