“My boo - I had no idea that when I joined Blur 7 years ago, I’d meet a best friend for the rest of my life. You got me in to the best physical shape of my life, and you’ve given me some of the best emotional memories of my life. No matter how far you could move, you’ll always be close to me. Love you brother!”

Justin! Thank you so much for everything over the years at Blur! You have truly been one of the best coaches we have ever had and consistently pushing us to our limits! We are going to miss you! Best wishes and congratulations on the engagement and move! We wish nothing but happiness and love for both you and McKenna!

Hey brotha, what an exciting next step! I guess our workouts, poker nights, camping weekends, and tee times will just be fewer and further between. We’ll definitely miss your energy at the gym, on the course, and everywhere in between. Until next time!

Justin! Goodbyes are sad and I’d much rather not say it. You have been an amazing friend and coach. I can’t thank you enough for believing in me. Believing I was strong and good enough to do any and every workout. It’s sad to see you go, but I’m so excited it’s with someone as amazing as McKenna and to paradise. You will be missed.

Hey Justin, Best of luck on the next chapter of your life, sounds like it will be an exciting one. You will be missed by many including me but I’m excited for you and know you will excel. I know this because we spent so much time together over the years. When people are under stress that’s when you get to see their true character. I’ve seen you in those moments and your character was not found lacking. You are a competitor and want to win but you encourage those around you to be their best. You lead by example with perfect execution and diet inspiring others to do likewise. Your consistency and discipline is constant but you never knock others when they stumble. You have so much more going for you which is why I look forward to seeing where you go. Keep in touch, and don’t neglect those deadlifts, it’s not all about the arms 😂😂

All the best to my great friend and the greatest trainer on the planet! I’m really gonna miss you, but I know you’ll be happy with the best partner you could ever have in McKenna!

Justin,

Buddy… what a fucking ride it’s been. First I want to thank you for all you have done for me personally. Because of you I have my health and you are the reason I got my opportunity in my career. Andy Katz told me that one day he approached you out of the blue and asked you if you knew anyone that you would trust to work for him. He said you said my name with out any hesitation, and I am not sure if I have ever thanked you for that but if I haven’t. THANK YOU!

You are and always will be part of my family no matter what. Our styles are similar but yet different in so many ways and you have always been that friend/coach that let’s me do my thing, and knows when I need a chat or a push weather it be in life or in a workout. My life has been changed in so many ways because you were part of the creation that changed it. From how I met my wife, to who my best friends are. You’re a part of all of it.

As a coach you one of the best I have ever seen and one of the best programmers that I know. You also know peoples strengths and weaknesses with out them ever knowing you know. There is no other person I would want to coach me in a open work out than you buddy you knew me better than I know my self at times and that is a true talent and blessing of yours. I want and will always support your professional journey because I believe In what you put out.

Now if I could give you any advice her it is. Be willing to be vulnerable with no blinders on especially in your journey of marriage. Compromise is the biggest thing I can pass on. You are one of the lucky ones to have found someone you can spend forever with. Remember your a team and all choice affect both of you now. Like my father said to me when I got married. It’s not the end of life it’s the start of life and it’s an amazing ride if you let it be. Always fight for her and she will always fight for you.

I’m proud of you buddy and to see you take such a big step in a new chapter is incredible. I’m a proud friend. Don’t be a stranger on social media or if you need anything please reach out I’m here for you. Like you said it’s not a good bye it’s a see you later. You will be missed.

Justin! I will never forget how welcoming you were when I walked into Blur for the very first time five years ago. I’ve learned a lot from you inside and outside of the gym and can’t believe how much our friendship has grown these past few years. I’m going to miss your coaching, doing those sweaty ass gut busting workouts with you, and most of all playing 18 and getting slizzered with ya on the course. I wish you the best on your newest adventure and nothing but love and happiness for both you and McKenna.

Justin!! I am so very excited for you and this new adventure! I want to thank you for all of your excellent coaching and always pushing me to limits I didn’t know I could reach, let alone exceed. I will always cherish the millions of fun memories-all of the second and third workouts of the day and ALLL OF THE TEQUILA SHOTS!! I wish you nothing but the very best and I know you and McKenna are going to build a beautiful life together. ❤️

Dear Justin,

You have come a long way since the days of setting up each and every person’s weights before a workout, during it, and even putting everything away after each hour.  Man, those sure were the days.  Sure going to miss the ole days of you opening the gym on a Sunday so I could do all of my Open workouts over, each and every one of them.

Also going to miss the following: you chasing run away golf carts through the desert, tee’ing off with a driver on par 3’s, stepping on your ball in a sand trap and denying it was me, you listening and agreeing with me talk shit about most of the people in the gym, your programing salvaging workouts every other week, and trying to put an extra 1/2 pound on for lifts after I did the 6:00 am. It sure won’t be the same without you around.  Hopefully you come back to the US before your eyes get squinty and you have to memorize the Quran.

With all of that being said, I know you’re in a better place now. We’ll see each other again someday, buddy!  Good luck!

Never take an option with life. Always make a choice to live. McKenna and Bali are a great way to start. See you soon pal in your travels. So glad I had the chance to see you before you start your next adventure.

Justin, You are an amazing coach and you will be missed, Thanks for always believing in my strength more than I did for myself. I love you guys and I am so happy for you two, I wish you and Mackenna nothing but the best and all the blessings God can give. ♥️

Justin is an amazing person. The most motivating person I have ever met period! Justin would be the best at anything he chooses.

Doctor, Lawyer, doesn’t matter! He’s the best. I will greatly miss Justin on a personal level!

On a professional level he’s able to motivate me to lift 335lbs on a dead lift. Not impressive, except I only weigh 150. Justin is the best!

Dear Justin,

Every once in a while God introduces me to someone incredibly special; someone incredibly inspiring; someone incredibly great in so many ways. It happened again when I met you.

Thank you for everything you’ve done for me and more importantly, everything you’ve shown me through your thoughts, feelings, words and actions. It’s rare to find someone as authentic and genuine, optimistic and positive, thoughtful and caring, and on top of everything else, humble.

You’ve done more than help me improve my fitness, you’ve touched my life and inspired me to do more; be more.

I’m thankful we met and I’m grateful you’re in my life.

Best wishes for continued happiness and success. Best wishes for your new life with McKenna.

Over the years at Blur Justin and Jake have attracted and built an amazing community that not only motivates you in the gym, but knows how to enjoy life outside of it. Justin’s an amazing trainer and an even better friend. Going to miss ya bud, but couldn’t be happier for you and McKenna!

Justin, Congratulations on your new endeavor! It was an honor to workout and learn from one of the best! We’re wishing you the best of luck in the next chapter in your life.

Can’t believe you started my fitness journey in AZ more than six years ago. Thank you for being a good friend and consistently kicking my ass. Going to miss you but so excited for your next chapter. It’s going to be amazing. Love you brother.

I was just a little shit when I met you. You have been an inspiration to me and I am better for it. Best of luck in your next chapter and so happy for you. Going to miss you but will definitely use all the nuggets of wisdom you threw at me!

Wishing you all the success and love on this next Chapter my Brutha! I know sis is in great hands and I am pumped to have you in the fam!!

Thank you for all of your knowledge and direction at Blur. I am feeling better than ever and I have you and your amazing gym to thank! I’m all in baby!! Pass me some of that consensual chicken!! 😂

Justin,

Thank you for being the best coach and pushing my scrawny self into the best shape I’ve ever been. Your programming is truly one-of-kind and you will be missed. Most importantly though, who will be joining us at RA??

Wishing you and McKenna the most amazing adventure in paradise.

Justin is one of the most caring people you can ever meet. He is loyal, nice, cute, funny and he can always make you smile even on your saddest days. If he says he loves you then he loves you and he doesn't like being questioned again and again. He will always be there for you no matter what you do. On your bad days, good days, the days you look bad and the days you look good. No matter what day or time he will always be with you. If you ever get to be with a Justin then don't let him go because you will be losing the most precious thing in the world

Justin, Wishing you the best always and congratulations again on finding the perfect lady! I really appreciate all you have done/taught Josh and I and appreciate the friendship the most! Stay in touch.

Justin, I honestly can't thank you enough for what you've done for my family and especially for me. Not only are you a good coach but you are also a good person. Thanks again for all the laughs. I'm going to miss you, brother.

Justin, thank you so VERY much for EVERYTHING!! It won’t be the same without you! I will miss our chats during my sessions and providing you with free “therapy!” LOL! We are excited for your next adventure! We wish you and McKenna nothing but the best and hope to stay in touch!

Hi Justin! Thank you so so much for teaching me almost everything I know about CrossFit. You have really helped me with my technique! I hope you have a great time, and I will miss you very much!

Justin, Mike Berta here I just wanted to tell you how extremely happy that I am to have you in my life over this last year. You have brought so much value to myself in my fitness this past year which has truly transformed my body and mind. It’s been an honor being a part of the Blur community as well as your friendship. I wish you and McKenna all of the best because both of you are truly amazing together! it’s been a blessing for me to know you guys. God bless.

Justin, It has been great getting to know you over the past few years. No matter how down or out of shape I was, you always gave me inspiration that I'm still not the weakest person in the gym.

Justin, congrats on the engagement and next chapter of life! Definitely going to miss seeing you at 6am. Thank you for the training, nutrition, kicks in the ass when necessary, golf rounds and being a great friend.

Dear Justin- Thank you for 3 years of amazing training. You believed in me, despite how inept at all things CrossFit I was on day one. You are very adept at what you do, and inspire your clients to always strive for better. Take that leadership on to your new gym. More importantly, you will be an amazing husband and one day father. This is what life is truly about. I will miss you. Love ya!

Thanks for the extra push I needed this last fall/winter to get where I wanted to be. Blur without Justin daily won’t be the same 🥹 truly one of my favorite persons to WOD next to for the extra push. I wish you guys all the best & hurry home.

Justin!! We wish the best for you as you conquer your next chapter in life. Forever thank you for coaching us through limitations and taking most our jiggle out of the wiggle.

Justin! Being coached by you for the past year has formed the best fitness foundation of my life. I admire the gusto with which you approach all your training, and it has been inspiring watching you compete in the sport. I know you poured your soul into your vision for the gym for more than ten years; you have influenced and encouraged so many people. Now, safe journey onto your next exciting chapter, one filled with soul, heart and grounded peace. cheers to you and McKenna, and the happiness that glows out of you when you talk about her ♥️ love always finds a way ♥️

Justin, Thanks again for all you help and support these last few years. Best of luck , keep us updated on how your doing!!

I'm so thankful I wandered into Blur seven years ago. You helped me find the fountain of youth! I am stronger and faster than I ever thought I would be and you're responsible for a lot of that growth. I wish you well and hope you visit often.

Justin! Thank you for selflessly pouring your energy into us every day, for doing the work with us, and for being our inspiration to accomplish more than we would ever tell ourselves we could. I hope you continue to thrive through all of the moments and memories you create.

Justin, thank you for all the useless spots! I knew could always count on you!

“As a newcomer to Blur, I was so happy to have Justin as one of the coaches. Young, fit, smart, motivating, and most important, fun. I’m really gonna miss his presence, but new life chapters happen ❤️. Congratulations on the new adventure.”

Justin is such a great coach & friend who you can always count on to put a smile on your face! I wish you the best of luck on your new adventure & I know that great things are coming for you! Thank you for everything you have done to make Blur the amazing gym it is! ❤️

“While I haven’t known Justin for very long, I can see the incredible impact he’s had on Blur and how he’s helped people achieve their goals. He owes me a squat plan so don’t let him forget, McKenna 😂”

Justin,

Thank you for everything you have done for me the last two years at Blur. Your passion and drive is what inspires all of us to want to improve our performance on a regular basis. You will never know how much of an impact you’ve made on so many members beyond improving their fitness, but we are so appreciative of everything you have done here at Blur. You will be so missed but I truly am excited for you and wish you the best in Bali!

Justin, Blur won’t be the same without you! Thanks for making great workouts and making them fun. I love to see you follow your dreams and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you. See you soon.

To my fitness father ,

Justin!! I cannot wait to see everything that god has ahead of you 💛 forever wishing for your success personally & professionally! Thank you for being one of the biggest impacts in my fitness and nutritional journey. For constantly pushing me to the best I can be & never letting me lift an average amount of weight at the gym! 😂😅 Glad our lifes crossed paths & for the friendship though the years. As sad as I am to watch you leave blur, I’m smiling hard knowing you found your happily ever after♥️ Also, Makenna already agreed to me coming to Bali, sooo this is only a “see you soon”.

From day one coming here from Wisconsin you have given me nothing but encouragement and confidence both in lifting and coaching. You’re knowledge and love for it shines through every time you talk about it and it’s contagious. I’m beyond excited for you and your life journey with your fiancé 💍. You two meeting was definitely no accident 🙏🏼 The next years of your life are going to be the best yet. Don’t blink!!

Thank you for making me fall in love with CrossFit ten years ago and being the best coach/friend. And trusting me with snoop- not to get eaten by him😝

Justin! Can’t believe you’re really leaving us! Glad we got to live in AZ at the same time for a brief period, thank you for welcoming us into the Blur family ❤️ and for always pushing me to go heavier in the workouts! You guys built an amazing community of people here and I know you’ll do the same in Bali! Can’t wait to see the pics, wishing you guys all the best on your new journey!

Dear Justin,

I started at Blur doing personal training in the back room with a trainer at the old location and you kept trying to get me into a Blur crossfit class , you would ask me every time I saw you. Finally I did and have never looked back. I will miss you and your jokes and baking BUILD recipes. Thank you for keeping me sane and healthy. Good luck to you and congratulations. The future is bright !

Justin,

I’m very happy for your engagement but it’s just so sad you have to leave blur. You’ve taught me all I know and helped me throughout my crossfit journey. I’m gonna miss the encouraging, funny and loud mood you bring to the gym. Nobody in my life has ever called me Kate by the way, but it was always funny when you called me that and it always made me work even harder during the workout haha! I wish you the happiest life with McKenna in Bali!

Almost five years ago Jason Bleimeyer and I agreed to show each other our fitness routines. I would teach Jason how to fight and he would introduce me to Blur. I'd never lifted a barbell before, let alone attempt most of the movements we do at Blur. I attended a class with you on a Monday afternoon. I fell in love with it, even if I was so sore the next day I could barely get in and out of my car.

Almost five years later and I've got 25 extra pounds of muscle and the best place on earth to start my day. Thank you, Justin, for being the guy who helped me fall in love with crossfit. You've been a great motivator, coach and friend.

Best of luck in Bali with McKenna, you two are wonderful together!

I never did teach Jason anything about fighting. I fell in love with Blur and never looked back.

I’ll miss your coaching buddy. You made CrossFit into something that wasn’t intimidating and that changed my life. I’m forever grateful. Wishing you the best in your next chapter!

Justin, Thanks for always being so welcoming at Blur when Kristina and I visited. When we moved down to the desert, it really meant a lot having a place and people we were familiar with. Wish we were able to be in the same town for a bit longer but we couldn’t be happier for you and McKenna in the next chapter of your lives. Gotta make sure we stay in touch and throw down in some training sessions whenever you’re back in town.

Good luck and many blessings sent your way in this new chapter of life!! Going to miss trying to beat your squat on the weekly 😂. Thank you for always being supportive and pushing me to put the right weight on PRs! Will miss ya, and don’t forget to visit Blur! 💪 P.S. Don’t add to many lunges in WODs if you know what I mean! 😆

Justin,

Thank you for being an inspiring coach, friend, and a blast to golf with! Wishing you all the best in your upcoming endeavors and all the love with your beautiful wife to be.

Justin, Thank you for being a good friend when I need someone to talked to or vent to. Thank you for being a great coach making time for me and motivating me. Thank you for share your knowledge so I can continue to work hard and push myself.

Oh Justin,

Who will listen to me now? I’ll miss bantering back and forth with you. I want you to know you are a great coach. Thank you for teaching me all I know in Crossfit. Thank you for training me and my Caitlyn. I’ll always remember the time you just listened to me as I vented and cry; and, you didn’t make it awkward. I am eternally grateful that you kept the gym doors open during the lockdown and still trained us despite the circumstances. It honestly helped me cope with the loss of my Mom. I wish you and McKenna the absolute best in Bali and in your future endeavors. Don’t be a stranger!

Justin thank you for introducing me to the fitness journey I was looking for. It’s been great training with you for over nine years and I wish you the best with your new endeavor!

Hey J!!! Congratulations on this new chapter of yours. Enjoy every second of it☺️☺️ Wish you all the happiness and love and success. Thanks for everything friend! Will miss ya.

Justin, it's been an honor to train with you and take all your money in poker. Best wishes in Bali!

Justin, thank you so much for all the work you’ve put in to creating not just the best gym but my favorite community I’ve ever been a part of. I wish I would have found Blur earlier on but I’m so thankful for all the growth it’s given me over the past 15 months as well as the opportunities it will provide in the future 🙏🏽 keep crushing life, brother!

Justin-It’s been a great fitness journey with you. We appreciate you welcoming us from Urban Warfit and giving us the best programming and support throughout the years. Best wishes on your new journey-very excited you found love!

Dearest Justin Christine Fallon,

I’ve been knuckles deep doing some fairly intense, in-depth research on Indonesia that I think you’ll find valuable on your journey. The average height and weight for men from Indonesia is 5’4”, 143lb. With that logic, you can expect to gradually shrink 6-7 inches and lose approximately 50-60lbs upon your arrival.

We’re all excited and painfully anxious about your adventure, it’s made my pubic hair gain 3x the curl. But we know if anyone can move to a third-world country and thrive, it’s you.

Remember, I’m only a brief 28-hour flight away and Amazon Prime packages can expect delays of up to 3 years. With that being said, the most recent edition of Madden on Xbox according to the Travel Indonesia website is listed as ‘What the f**k is an Xbox?”

Love You Guys!

Justin Wayne,

I will never forget watching you pack up your car to leave for Arizona with some guy named Jake, then you made another dream come true and built a gym together that is clearly a work of love for what you do and believe.

Fast forward to 2022 and in one day you managed to create heart palpitations by telling me you're moving to Bali and that followed by a marriage proposal to a girl that is clearly your soul mate!

I am so proud of the man you are and all you have accomplished !! You and Jake will always have that bond with your first love, blur, but now you are on to your next adventure in life with a new love and I am sure many more surprises !! Good luck to my baby boy who has never let grass grow under his feet❤️❤️

Boo Boo!

Well, how about that?!

We're really doin' it!! Through being at Blur and now getting to read all of these messages, it's SO clear just how much you mean to people. And the shining commonality--you inspire and push people beyond what they knew they were capable of, including me! I am so excited to be a part of this next chapter with you, and cannot wait to see what you build next. You are so undeniably loved. I love you, my future hubby!!
