If you’ve ever wondered why we call ourselves C3, you’re not alone.
Sure, it stands for Cobra Command CrossFit—but those three C’s hold a much deeper meaning. They represent the foundation of everything we do:
Commitment
Courage
Community
These aren’t random buzzwords. They’re values that shape our entire philosophy—grounded in real research about what it takes to be successful, not just in fitness, but in life.
Because at Cobra Command, we’re not just building stronger bodies.
We’re building stronger humans.
The Science of Grit: Why Success Isn’t About Talent
Before we dive into what each “C” means, let’s talk about where this philosophy comes from.
Dr. Angela Duckworth, author of Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, spent years studying what separates high achievers from everyone else. And what she found was simple—but profound:
Success isn’t about talent. It’s about consistency.
It’s about showing up.
It’s about grit.
Duckworth’s research revealed that the people who reach their goals aren’t the most gifted—they’re the ones who stay the course, even when motivation fades. They fall, get back up, adjust, and keep moving forward.
That’s the heartbeat of our C3 philosophy.
Because your journey in fitness—and in life—will always come down to how you show up, how you grow, & who you surround yourself with.
Commitment: Showing Up Even When It’s Hard
The first “C” is Commitment, and it’s the foundation for everything else.
Let’s face it, motivation comes and goes. Life gets busy. You’ll have mornings when you’d rather sleep in, evenings when you’re tired, days when everything feels like too much. But the truth is…
Commitment beats motivation every single time.
Commitment is about showing up even when you don’t feel like it.
It’s the quiet decision to keep your promise to yourself.
And science backs this up. Studies on habit formation and behavior change show that consistency …not intensity… is the biggest predictor of long-term success. In fact, showing up with 30% effort five days a week will always produce better results than showing up with 100% effort once a month.
That’s why, at Cobra Command, we focus on helping you find your rhythm. We don’t expect perfection. We expect persistence. And we structure our programs (in everything from how often you show to, to what is written in our workouts, to how often we do goal sessions) to help you BE persistent & consistent. To have the commitment it takes to achieve your goal.
When you start with your No-Sweat Intro, we talk about your goals—because everyone who walks through our doors is chasing something. Maybe it’s strength. Maybe it’s confidence. Maybe it’s a healthier lifestyle or more energy to keep up with your kids.
Whatever it is, your journey starts with clarity and continues with commitment.
Because without commitment, even the best plan in the world won’t work. With commitment, even the smallest steps add up to something extraordinary.
Courage: The Willingness to Learn, Be Seen, & Grow
The second “C” is Courage, and it’s often the most underrated.
Courage isn’t just about trying new things or lifting heavy weights. It’s about being vulnerable enough to be coached. To be seen. To step outside of your comfort zone. To receive feedback. To face your limits and trust that you can grow past them.
That takes guts.
Every time you walk into a session, you’re showing courage—especially on the days you doubt yourself. Every time a coach cues your form or offers an adjustment, you have a choice: feel defensive, or lean in and learn. That’s the difference between staying stuck and becoming unstoppable.
Dr. Duckworth’s work echoes this too. She found that people who actively seek feedback & view challenges as opportunities for growth are far more likely to succeed over time.
At Cobra Command, we believe courage is built in layers:
- The courage to start—even when you don’t feel ready.
- The courage to set big goals—and break them into small, achievable steps.
- The courage to listen, learn, & be coached.
- The courage to fail forward—and try again.
Our coaching model is built around this principle. We don’t just count reps—we coach humans. We help you push past fear, perfectionism, & comparison. Because when you’re willing to be coached, you unlock a level of progress that pure discipline alone can’t reach.
That’s courage in motion.
And it’s powerful.
Community: The Secret Ingredient to Lasting Change
And finally—the third “C”: Community.
Let’s talk about why this one matters so much.
We all know that habits are easier to build when we’re not doing them alone. Research in both psychology and exercise science shows that people are more likely to stick with fitness programs when they have social support. Accountability, connection, and shared purpose make all the difference.
And yet—as adults—it’s hard to find that.
We spend so much of our time in roles: parent, employee, partner, caretaker. The spaces where we belong just for us are rare.
That’s what we’ve built at Cobra Command: a place where you’re seen, known, and supported.
Where coaches know your name.
Where members cheer for you, not compete against you.
Where friendship and fitness collide in the best way possible.
When you walk into class, you’ll see it… the energy… the encouragement… the laughter. You’ll see members high-fiving after a tough workout, cheering each other through the last reps, and genuinely celebrating each other’s wins.
Because at the end of the day, success is social.
When you train alongside people who believe in you, you start believing in yourself.
Community doesn’t just keep you accountable—it keeps you inspired.
And when you combine community with courage and commitment, you get something unstoppable.
The C3 Difference: What Sets Us Apart
Most gyms sell access.
We build accountability.
Most gyms sell equipment.
We build confidence.
Most gyms offer workouts.
We offer a framework for success.
C3 isn’t just an acronym—it’s a system that reflects everything science knows about how humans grow & sustain change:
- A clear goal gives you direction.
- Commitment creates momentum.
- Courage fuels adaptability.
- Community provides support.
We’ve woven those values into every part of the Cobra Command experience—from your first No-Sweat Intro, to your fundamentals sessions, to your first group session, to the high-fives & friendships that form along the way.
This isn’t accidental. It’s intentional design.
Because we don’t just want you to work out here.
We want you to thrive here—physically, mentally, and socially.
