Building a Community: The Journey of The Tribe

HOW IT ALL STARTED

When we first envisioned the Tribe, it was clear that we wanted more than just a Crossfit Gym.  The driving force behind the Tribe was to infuse fitness with faith. Living a life that embodies faith isn’t just about what we believe; it’s about how we serve others. Our goal was to create a space where faith, service, and community would intertwine.  Working with business partners who shared this vision was crucial. The collective heart behind the Tribe was to cultivate a fitness experience truly unique to San Antonio—it’s a place where members encourage one another, celebrating both victories on the workout floor and milestones in their personal lives.

The Evolution of Our Business Reflecting on life after the first year at the Tribe.

It’s hard to believe how much we’ve transformed.  Early on, we tried to do everything ourselves, which often led to burnout and a lack of focus.  Now, we've embraced the idea that effective leadership means putting ourselves in the right roles—allowing us to play to our strengths while empowering our coaches and staff to flourish in theirs.  One of the best changes we made was to involve our wives in the business more significantly.  Their unique perspectives and skills have been invaluable.  Not only has it strengthened our family ties, but it’s also diversified our leadership approach and expanded our capabilities.  

Recognizing a need to refocus, we made another game-changing decision to hire a mentor.  A mentor helps us prioritize our objectives effectively, filtering decisions through the core values that got us started. It has also provided us with accountability and a new perspective.  They’ve helped us realign our goals and strategies to ensure that we are not just caught up in the daily grind but are focused on serving our members and concentrating on our original vision.

OUR MISSION is to Serve, Motivate & Change Lives Through Fitness, Fun & Community

After almost 10 years, the wording has been changed, tweaked & revised; even how we approach CrossFit has evolved, but our mission has remained the same.  

We still strive to serve our members, love Crossfit, and continue to let our faith guide our journey!
