Welcome to the Quarter Deck…

Typically, the quarterdeck serves as the part of the upper deck of a ship reserved for officers. Navy, this area is reserved for official ceremonies and as the station of the officer of the deck in port. Throughout history, the quarterdeck has been used to carry out exercise and – sometimes – punishments. At Quarter Deck Athletics, home of CrossFit QDA, we are grateful for the opportunities afforded to us and the sacrifices that have been made to allow us the freedoms we so enjoy. With multiple family members serving in various branches of the armed forces, a military lifestyle is something with which we grew up and has become an integral part of our lives. We honor fallen soldiers regularly through special “hero workouts,” and we will be working closely with veterans as a part of our community outreach and charitable work. It is not something we take lightly. It comes with the utmost respect, sincerity, and appreciation. Here at QDA, everyone is equal. We are all equally important and equally treated with equal expectations. And that expectation is simple: Effort. That is it. Success is a simple formula: Your best effort, consistently performed, over many days. Progress happens every single day but in small amounts. It is the aggregation of marginal gains, day in and day out. QDA is the only gym in downtown Buffalo, offering CrossFit, chiropractic, and nutrition services for all ages and abilities, and, as such, we are able to measure effort like no other fitness facility or gym. Our fitness and medical backgrounds allow us to offer safe, effective, and intense workouts that can be scaled for all skill levels. As such, we have worked with all populations – from children to retirees, professional athletes to cancer patients, as well as those with joint replacements, and hip and shoulder problems. We have seen it all. Whether you want to be able to perform everyday movements pain-free, such as walking or getting out of a chair, or you’d like to lose weight and/or build muscle, we can tailor every workout to fit your needs to keep you healthy and progressing towards your goals. Located in the newly renovated Seneca One Tower, QDA is the only gym of its kind in Buffalo. Don’t believe us? Come see for yourself!

What’s it like a QDA?

I picked three that I think are fitting and have some pretty solid songs if you’re in the mood..

All killer, no filler. I am all about getting the most out of the time we have in the gyms it doesn’t mean 60 minutes of non stop beat the s**t out of you time. What it does mean if that we have purpose and direction in our training to help you be the strongest, most capable version of yourself. There is no fluff, no filler, just what works.

Next All The Small Things… we pay attention, we correct, we push a lot and in those moments it might seem like they are just those small little things that don’t matter or make a difference. Like hitting depth on one rep or getting lock out, a small adjustment to your hands or feet. Using the hook grip or getting you those 1 and a quarter’s… little by little it becomes a lot.. they all add up.

Lastly Songs from the Big Chair… it’s a swing for the fences… just like QDA. We are here to change the world. That’s the audacity of us. Not with big waves or monsoon but with the relentless power of persistence. Showing people one person at a time. Giving them the belief in themselves and continuing alongside them for as much of their journey as we can… everyone wants to rule the world… we want you to rule YOUR world.

You might not like these choices or maybe you have your own… would love to hear them…

The point of this was to dig a grave (obviously) but what was being buried were your fears and insecurities.

They were written on bricks during this challenge and after you laid in the grave you made you then buried those fears and insecurities at the end of the event.

It is never suffering without purpose.

There is reason.

I have always strived to help people see that they are better and more capable than they realize.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?”

People think resilience is showing up and lifting really heavy or doing a really hard workout…

Resilience is hitting the bolder 1000’s of times with no change. It is continuing to strike over and over knowing that one of them will be the last one. It is why the person who shows up everyday and does their best for that day will always end up beating the people who show up when everything is great.

It why the people who will do their best boring stuff will always make progress. It is why the people who are willing to lose will find a way to win.

It’s about doing it when no one else is there. It’s about doing it when you don’t want to. It’s about doing it because you said you would.

It’s staying the course when the joy and excitement of a new goal have faded. It’s trying and trying and trying.

It’s the grind.

It’s committing to the process knowing that the shortcuts aren’t worth it.

The long way is the short cut.

Putting in the work is the way.

Every loss is a lesson, every practice is an opportunity, every heavy weight or new skill is building you up.

Every day you build resilience when you do hard things.

Keep doing hard things.
