2024 We're thankful for you!

 ​We're bringing back the blog... and we're starting with gratitude! 

One of our core values at TSF is teaching. As a staff we want to provide you with some nuggets of information about training, nutrition, health, and various topics that we think you'd enjoy learning about and that will help you as well. 

With Thanksgiving here, we want to start with an oldie but goodie where each coach shares with you all what they are thankful for, specifically in regards to TSF. Each of you are important to us, and we want you to hear from us why we are thankful. 

​Coach Abbey Says: 
I am thankful for the ability to help everyone in their journey to better themselves. A lot of our clients come in shy and nervous about the experience of a new gym with new people. I am grateful that we can help those people come out of their shells and fall in love with the daily grind of bettering themselves. The staff that I have the opportunity to work with everyday is top notch, something that I will always be thankful for.

Coach Tom Says: 
I am thankful for the connections that I have in my life and the relationships those form. To me, relationships are just about the best and most important thing in life. Whether they are the people you spend most of your time with, or the people who live on the other side of the country from you, the connections we make and the experiences we have are what I believe shape us as people. I am so grateful that I get to be in position in a field that prioritizes these human connections, and I am looking forward to building even more going forward.

Coach Travis Says: 
2024 has been one of the most eventful years of my life and I have so much to be thankful for. My beautiful wife, Allie and I got married in September and I couldn’t be more thankful for the life we’ve created together. I am thankful to work a job that I genuinely enjoy waking up to come to every day. I am thankful for the community we have at The Strength Feed and to be surrounded by such hard working and impressive individuals like Joe, Kelly, Abbey and Tom. I can’t wait to see what the rest of 2024 has to bring and to move into 2025 with a full head of steam!

Coach Kelly Says:
I think it's common to feel this way, but this year was definitely one for the books. Moving... again... and starting new is something that is somewhat normal to me but still not easy. Yet, looking back on the year and all of the change that has happened, I am honestly so grateful. 

Not everyone knows this but when I came down to Raleigh, I didn't have a plan. Thanks to Google and really specific search criteria, I found The Strength Feed (yes, I cold emailed the guys - sometimes you have to find what you think you want and go after it), and it was a fit from the start. You don't always find people headed in the same direction as you, so I am incredibly grateful that it was immediately clear Joe and Travis were when I first met them. I am so thankful for The Strength Feed, who I get to be around, and what I get to do every day. I get to work with Joe, Travis, Abbey, and now Tom, I'm in a place I get to learn daily, I get to coach athletes, and adults, and be able to talk about nutrition, and also get to do all the other fun things behind the scenes; I am so grateful for all of it. I didn't even have the ability to dream about this before, and am so thankful that I was led here this year. 

Coach Joe Says: 
2024 has been a wild year filled with new kids, new relationships and remembering old ones. With the gym staying busy and the opportunities arising from that, 2024 has been a lot of firsts. First time speaking at a business conference. (First time going to a business conference), second kid, full time staff. Seeing the adult program grow from 3 to 43 has been awesome! Having Advanced PT in house has been a game changer too. With their ability to take insurance we can help more people!! My wife got a new job and the kids have been great at home. Watching JT grow up and be a part of the athlete groups has been really cool. There are still a lot of clients that have been around since way before he was born. Kelly and Travis especially have been such a game changer not only in business but life. They are part of the family now and that has been awesome.

We hope you and your family have an awesome day and stop to reflect a little on what you're thankful for today! 

Happy Thanksgiving from The Strength Feed Staff.
