Obsidian is a rock that is formed from extremes - from the intense heat of a volcano, to immediately becoming cool. People have used this incredibly beautiful and sharp rock to create weapons since ancient times.

The process of shaping it into a weapon is tedious, and often involves chipping away bit by bit until you’re left with an incredibly sharp tool to be used in whatever way you choose.

We chose the name obsidian because we believe it represents our CrossFit community. We often push ourselves to the extreme so that we can become more. We can shape ourselves bit by bit to become the best versions of ourselves.

The best part about obsidian is that it’s created in groups. It’s not a single rock that is formed from lava. It’s multiple. While the rocks may be shaped differently and become different types of weapons and tools, they are still created as a unit.

That is our community.
