“It’s our job to steward our bodies well, to maintain a healthy and capable body that can serve our families and our communities for a lifetime,” says Braden Rubey, owner of Unicus Athletics & CrossFit in Argyle. Braden Rubey was a multi-sport athlete growing up, competing in gymnastics, football, track, and powerlifting. Competing in these sports gave him the foundational skills to continue growing and succeeding in this space, and entering the CrossFit community gave him a newfound passion, as well as a new career. Unicus Athletics was founded in 2014, built from the ground up by the hard work and dedication of Braden and his wife, Maribel Rubey, coach and general manager of Unicus. Braden began collecting equipment for his gym in 2012 and, with perseverance and a passion for the fitness industry, opened Unicus.
Whether you’re new to a gym or have been in the fitness space for many years, Unicus is a great place to challenge yourself and exceed your own expectations! Unicus has members of all ages and ability levels, and they even offer a 1:1 on-ramp course to meet you where you’re at and prepare you for their classes. Braden believes that “CrossFit is the most well-rounded and best use of a 1-hour workout.” CrossFit allows you to push your limits and continue to grow stronger in many movements that you use day-to-day. Not only will you get a sweat in, but you’ll have a community around you that becomes your teammates. The coaches and fellow members of Unicus want to see you succeed and will encourage you to overcome any obstacle!
What really makes Unicus so special is the atmosphere that has been created. The coaches at Unicus pour into their members and strive to help them succeed, no matter what their goals are. “I hope our members continue to set new PRs and reach their body composition goals. But if physical growth is all we improve, then we have failed. We truly strive to make a meaningful impact physically, mentally, and spiritually,” says Braden. The committed coaches at Unicus go above and beyond for the members of their gym, whether you’re a beginner or have years of experience.
Braden believes our health is the most important asset we have, and he encourages you to give Unicus Athletics a chance. “One day, someone’s going to invite you to CrossFit with them. It’s important you say yes. This is your invitation. We are inviting you to give Unicus a shot. We believe CrossFit IS for everyone, any age, any level, any stage in life you could think of,” says Braden. “Some days will be fun, many days will be hard, and every day will be worth it. At Unicus, we encourage you to set goals. Let our coaches guide you and encourage you to go for AND achieve something hard!” Braden exclaims. No matter your personal goals, the coaches at Unicus are passionate and ready to provide guidance.
