What strong finish to the Train 4 Life pilot program with Metropolitan Nashville Police Department at CrossFit East Nashville!

At our final session, athletes and officers came together one more time to complete post-program assessments and see the progress they’ve made over the past several weeks.

It’s been incredible to watch the relationships, encouragement and teamwork grow throughout this program. We’re so proud of everyone who showed up, put in the work and made this pilot a success!
