The dust is slowly starting to settle from our move from 18 Maple Court to 175 Benton Driveover the last two weeks. With the move, the subscribers and people in the know have beenecstatic for what this new space means for CPC as a brand and for us as professionals. Personally, I’ve received several concerned inquiries as to what is happening to 18 Maple EnduranceTraining. To me the answer is simple, nothing. To most, I can see the reason for concern. Allowme to help clarify, and take you back a few years as to why I chose the name I did.
To all those that expressed concern, I get it, 18 Maple Endurance Training is no longer at 18Maple Court. However the name isn’t something I pulled off a mailing label. In a blog that Iposted last year in July of 2017 I wrote, “18 Maple is a tribute to my roots and to those who have had my back from the beginning. There may come a day when our physical address is nolonger 18 Maple Court and that’s okay because we will continue to honor our history.”
As I already mentioned the name was not something I pulled off a mailing label. The associationof the word Maple and the way it is presented with the Maple Leaf is a representation of myroots. The miles and hours spent training are long and knowing your WHY and the peoplebehind you is important. The Maple Leaf takes me home to the days spent in our family SugarHouse making some of the best tasting syrup I will ever have. The maple leaf is a sign ofstrength, love, and honest hard work. It is a how I was brought up, it’s how I train, and it’s how Icoach. It keeps me pushing when I wonder how much more I have to give.
Call me sentimental, I'm okay with that.
A handful of years ago my Dad retired from his sugaring hobby. This summer our little sugarhouse, in a state of disrepair, was pulled down to make way for a long awaited garage. Severalweeks ago Continuum Performance Center left 18 Maple Court for its new digs at 175 BentonDrive. 18 Maple Endurance Training is alive and well. Regardless of location 18 MapleEndurance Training’s roots and what it represents doesn’t require a physical space. So, the next time you lace up your sneaks or clamp a set of clips down on a barbell remember the work and people that helped you get there. Honor them, then get after it.
