What an amazing day for our Notch 8 team at the TRU Challenge!

Our athletes pushed each other past their limits — and it showed on the podium. Every heat was a battle, and our crew left it all out there.

How Our Athletes Did

Katie and Amber, Jess and Amyra, Ryan and Dotun, Gaurav and John — every pairing brought the fight. Heats went back and forth, strategies got tested, and when the dust settled, our athletes had podium finishes to show for it. But the scores only tell half the story.

The Moments That Mattered

The real highlights weren’t on the leaderboard. They were in the moments between events: teammates yelling each other through the last three reps, the refusal to quit when everything hurt, the way our crew rallied around every single athlete wearing Notch 8. That’s what competition days are really about — finding out what you’re made of, together.

Thank You, Coaches

A huge thank you to Andrew and Danielle for coaching our athletes up through every event. That sideline support makes all the difference when you’re deep in the pain cave — the right cue at the right moment, the calm voice when the heart rate is through the roof. Our athletes don’t take that for granted.

Why We Compete

Local competitions like the TRU Challenge aren’t about beating other gyms. They’re about testing yourself in a way daily training can’t replicate — the nerves, the crowd, the unknown workouts. Every athlete who steps onto that floor comes back to the gym a little tougher, a little more confident, and a lot more connected to their teammates.

We couldn’t be prouder of this team. Days like this are what Notch 8 is all about. Want to train with competitors like these? Check out our CrossFit program in Avon, Indiana.
