Chris Mack

CrossFit's three partners including Chris Mack work full-time jobs and a part-time business that grew from a fitness passion. Two worked out together in their garage using the California-based HOTSide CrossFit training. As friends joined them, they started a business as a CrossFit affiliate for which they pay annually. They leased space with 10 clients. In one year, they have grown to 65 customers. Adding a third partner they with 4 others teach the classes. The program uses weights and no machines which making for little business overhead. CrossFit targets "life" fitness, learning proper movement which will avoid later problems and weakness. The sense of community creates the unique workout difference at CrossFit. Clients enjoy camaraderie and mutual support. The partners seek to "make the best experience for the folks". The entrepreneurs like a profit, but love the work and satisfaction of clients' improved fitness results. Visit: www.hotsidecf.com.
