In 2010, Andy and Shelby Adams decided to try CrossFit thanks to a few friends from their church. They were hooked instantly thanks to some really great people and coaches guiding them at their first CrossFit gym in College Station. Both of their lives were impacted by their love for many sports, fitness, and their passion for helping others. CrossFit checked all the boxes for them and brought much more to their lives than a group fitness class filled with strangers or a Globo gym full of distractions.

After Andy received his Master’s from Texas A&M and worked in Education for a while, he was grateful to start a new career path helping others by managing and coaching at their very first CrossFit gym. Shelby also graduated from Texas A&M with a degree in Exercise Physiology, then began working in healthcare as she pursued her passion for helping others with their health and fitness. It was clear that a healthy lifestyle was a major priority for their family’s future and the solution was to bring their love of CrossFit to Shelby’s hometown of Brenham. After eleven years in College Station, God was making it clear that Brenham was the next right step.

“We enjoy people too much… we enjoy working out with lots of space, we enjoy the outdoors, and having the freedom to have fun with your workouts by utilizing multiple methods of fitness. We have also never felt God move more purposefully than He has in the past six years.

We are very thankful for a great team of coaches that love our members and love CrossFit. The community of people we have at BCF is truly what makes it special and is what makes it all worth it. God has made it clear to us that one way or another, this gym is meant to be here. These special people are meant to live life together and to impact each other in positive ways; even if it is just 30 minutes or an hour of each day. We know Brenham CrossFit is meant to be a safe space for us all to feel empowered, so that we can then go out into the world to serve and love others better.”
