Dear Blackbird Family and Friends,
We are humbled and extremely honored to be recognized as the 2021 Winner of Carroll’s Best Health & Fitness Center. We cannot thank each of you enough for your support over the past 7 1/2 years as we built up this small, family-owned business to help our community live stronger, more confident, and healthier lives. It is because of our amazing Blackbird Community sharing their happiness and success inside the gym with others that has enabled us to grow and help so many become the best version of themselves.
Matt and I wanted to take this time to recognize our team. We have been extremely blessed with a talented and caring group of coaches and staff. They each bring a unique skill set and specialty to the table. They are students of their craft. They take continuing education courses, read articles, watch hours of videos, and absorb all the knowledge they can to constantly hone their coaching skills and knowledge base. Our coaches truly want to bring the best overall health, wellness, and fitness program to our community. They are dedicated to making fitness accessible, safe, effective, and fun for all ages and levels. They wake up early to coach before going to their day jobs and they come straight to the gym from hard days at work to coach evening classes. They give up their weekends to meet with clients or help with our special events. They get to know each of our members’ strengths and weaknesses so they can better help them achieve their individual goals. They care so deeply for our Blackbird community and the success of our gym. And we could not do this without them.
