Community Notes: Happy birthday John!
There’s absolutely no doubt that you’re the rock that ICA was built on! From the grueling, dirty hours you spent building out our space…
To the amazing coaching you do and your relentless dedication to our members…
To the contagious intensity you tackle every workout with… and the way you push everyone to new limits…
ICA could not exist without you! Thanks for being an amazing coach, athlete, co-owner, and of course fiance! I love you!

Dear John,
We got you one of the ab shirts that the guy in the Planet Fitness Gym commercial wears to attract the ladies; you know the one where he pulls on the strings to reveal his 6-pack. It unfortunately got lost in the mail. So to make it up to you for your birthday, Brian volunteered to go on another camping trip (death hike) with you whenever you want. But to be serious, we would like to wish you a happy birthday. You’ve introduced us to crossfit and pretty much to each other for which we will always be grateful. Your enthusiasm, integrity, and constant encouragement will continually motivate us. Love you! Spotts and Spence
Happy Birthday there John! I know I am repeating what others have said, but you are an amazing coach and athlete! I enjoy the intensity you bring every class!
Happy Birthday John!!! Thanks for all you do for ICA and always bringing a smile to the gym!
Happy birthday coach John!
Thanks for instilling in me my two most feared phrases in crossfit:
“Get back on that bar!” and “hands off those knees!”
Seriously though thanks for all the encouragement, advice and coaching!
We’ll celebrate with some burpees tomorrow.
Happy Birthday John!!! Your awesome way of coaching makes me feel like I can do anything in cross fit. Thanks for all of the encouragement and all that you do enjoy your day 🙂
Happy Birthday John!!!
It didn’t take long at ICA to realize how awesome
a person and coach you are. Thanks for helping to
make your box our home away from home.
Happy Birthday John!
Thanks for all that you do in the gym and giving me an ounce of thought that I have the possiblity of beating you in a WOD…but, you’re a beast! Also, thanks for laughing at my jokes, even when they aren’t funny. Cheers!
…haha, Craig, your response was awesome.
Happy Birthday John! You are a beast!
Happy Birthday John!
Your enthusiasm and energy are infectious! Thanks for pushing all of us to accomplish things we never imagined we could.
See you tonight for burpees!
Happy Birthday John.!!!
Can’t thhk of anything more to say, everyone’s already said it. Damn you all! Happy Birthday, John. And thanks for making my friend Nikki so happy!
Happy Birthday John! You are an amazing coach and always motivate me to keep trying for better – things I wouldn’t have accomplished without your enthusiastic encouragement. I hear your words “GET MAD” ever time I go to try for something I don’t think I can do. Helps every time – Thanks! Hope you enjoy your birthday 🙂
I like Phil’s comments about get back on bar and hands off knees. In a strange way, I miss hearing those phrases on a daily basis. Happy Birthday, bud! Gotta get cheesesteaks and milkshakes soon.
Happy Birthday John! There’s no better feeling of dread then when I walk into the box to see you with that WOD grin on your face to know that I will be working hard. Plus Phil’s right, there are lots of new phrases you’ve taught us all.
Haha Nick! I immediatly get anxiety if I come in and John is coaching…. in a good way though because I know the warm up will quite possibly worse than the WOD! : )
Happy Birthday John! Clearly from the comments you’ve impacted the lives of lot of new people in a short amount of time, me included. Having the ability to do that seems like a pretty nice birthday present. Enjoy the day.
Happy Birthday, John! Crossfit is not the same out here without you! I wish Chris and I were home to take you out for wings and beer and then do math problems afterwards 🙂
Hope your day consists of a Snatch PR!

Thanks for making me work a movement that is a huge, giant, massive, gaping hole in my CrossFit capabilities. At least I didn’t cherry pick away from this one, right Nik?!
