Nick and Monica Carignan fell in love with CrossFit back in 2011. Both avid athletes and gym junkies have now found something they couldn’t stay away from. Once Nick began coaching, he found more satisfaction in coaching others and seeing them achieve goals than in his own PRs! After coaching for a few years and running another facility, Nick and Monica decided to venture out on their own. That’s when CrossFit 8 Mile was born. With humble beginnings of one rower and a few kettlebells and barbells fueled by passion, faith in hard work, and consistency, 8 Mile grew from a founding 14 members to helping thousands of members over the years. 8 Mile and evolve and grow into something that neither Nick nor Monica could have imagined. From the staff and members becoming a community that not only gets fit together but also takes care of each other. The founder of CrossFit famously captured this essence by stating, “The magic is in the movement, the art is in the programming, the science is in the explanation, and the fun is in the community.” That captures the essence of CrossFit 8 Mile.
