I absolutely loved training at Pure Payne Strength and Conditioning. Pure Payne was a place where hard work was welcomed and expected. This gym was nothing fancy, but it was the epitome of hard work. No top of the line brand new equipment, no flashy banners or wall decals, no frills. Most things were held together with a layer of duct tape #helloallthedumbbells and the boxes and pegboards were handmade by our resident gymdad 🖤 Like I say, hard work was welcome and expected from EVERYONE. .

isaacpurepayne welcomed not only me but every level of athlete into his gym with open arms #soupkitchen. 🍲
The daily grind was filled with lots of laughs. Once you’ve heard Isaacs loud infectious laugh, I guarantee it will put a smile on your face. I think every member will agree with me that Isaac always had a larger than life personality and a happy demeanor. This was contagious throughout the gym. Never in my 3+ years of training at Pure Payne did I ever see him in a bad mood. Don’t be fooled though, he would still give you a good sh*tkicking on the daily, just with a smile and a laugh. 😂 .

Isaac I am so fortunate I was able to train under you the past few years. I looked forward to coming in every single day. The knowledge and advice you have passed on to me have and will continue to help me as my journey as a crossfit games athlete continues. #gohamthefirstroundright? 🤪 
Rewind a year or two back, and you didn’t skip a beat or tell me it was a long shot when you asked me my goals and I said to make it to the CrossFit Games. I remember you just methodically figuring out what we needed to do in training to accomplish it. Fast forward to qualifying for not 1 but 2 CrossFit games later and I’d say it’s been one heck of a ride! 🎢 .

Thank you for ALL you’ve done and the impressions you have left on so many of us ❤️
