Today we’d like to introduce you to Denise Bodman.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
CrossFit 737 was founded in 2013 with a passion for creating something different in the fitness space, an environment rooted in faith, family, and fitness. From the very beginning, our goal was not just to build stronger bodies, but to build stronger people. We believed that true health goes beyond physical strength; it’s about mindset, community, and the way you show up in your life every day.
What started as a small vision has grown into a thriving community. Through years of consistency, hard work, and a commitment to our values, we’ve been able to impact lives far beyond the walls of the gym. We’ve walked alongside our members through milestones, challenges, and victories celebrating not just physical transformations, but personal growth.
Today, CrossFit 737 continues to evolve, but our foundation remains the same. We are dedicated to helping people become the strongest version of themselves physically, mentally, and spiritually while fostering a supportive, family-driven community that people are proud to be a part of.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It has not been a smooth road. Like any business, we’ve faced trials and tribulations that come with ownership, growth, and expansion. Pouring into hundreds of members on a daily basis requires constant energy, leadership, and commitment.
At the same time, staying true to our mission of bringing faith into people’s lives can bring its own set of challenges. But it’s something we believe in deeply, and it continues to guide how we lead, serve, and build our community every day.
As you know, we’re big fans of CrossFit 737. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
CrossFit 737 is more than just a gym we are a community built on faith, family, and fitness. Since opening our doors in 2013, our mission has been to help people become the strongest version of themselves, not just physically, but mentally and spiritually as well.
We specialize in functional fitness, strength and conditioning, and creating an environment where every individual regardless of their fitness level feels supported, challenged, and empowered. What we are known for is our culture. From day one, we have been intentional about building a space where people feel seen, encouraged, and part of something bigger than themselves.
What truly sets us apart is our foundation in faith and our commitment to people first. We don’t just coach workouts we pour into lives. Whether it’s through personal encouragement, community events, or simply showing up consistently for our members, we strive to create lasting impact beyond the hour someone spends in the gym.
Brand-wise, we are most proud of the community we’ve built. It’s a place where relationships are formed, confidence is restored, and people grow in ways they didn’t expect when they first walked through our doors. We’ve created an environment where members support each other, celebrate wins together, and navigate challenges side by side.
What we want people to know is that CrossFit 737 is for everyone. Whether you’re just starting your fitness journey or looking to take it to the next level, you’ll find expert coaching, a welcoming environment, and a community that truly cares. We offer group classes, open gym, specialty programming, and recovery options, all designed to support a well-rounded, sustainable approach to health and wellness.
At the end of the day, we are here to make an impact to help people live stronger, healthier, and more purposeful lives.
Before we go, is there anything else you can share with us?
CrossFit 737 is about people. It’s about showing up for yourself and for others and doing the work, even when it’s hard. We’ve built this community on connection, accountability, and purpose, and that’s what continues to drive us every day.
We are incredibly grateful for every person who has walked through our doors and trusted us to be part of their journey. Watching lives change physically, mentally, and spiritually is what fuels us.
If there’s one thing we’d want readers to know, it’s that you don’t have to have it all figured out to start. You just have to take that first step, and we’ll meet you where you are.
