Polk County News Polk County Itemizer-Observer • May 25, 2016 5A Couple brings giving back to the forefront By Lukas Eggen The Itemizer-Observer Memorial Day Murph INDEPENDENCE — There’s a saying common among CrossFit members: Come for the fitness, stay for the community. Buffy and Shane Rider, owners of CrossFit Kiowa, live that to the fullest. The Riders foray into CrossFit began in 2012. Shane had just decided to take a new job that allowed him to stay home with his family in Portland and was looking for an outlet to stay in shape. Buffy suggested CrossFit. They quickly saw that this was no ordi- nary workout. “In CrossFit you’re getting that personal training and a good workout. You have someone who isn’t hovering over you, but they’re there to help you and get you going in the right direction,” Shane said. More important was the sense of commu- nity that they developed. “The camaraderie is amazing,” Shane said. “You work out at times and you create friendships and relationships. What starts here extends out to your personal life.” The two talked for years about opening their own place. In 2015, they would get their chance. The couple came to Polk County and, in November of last year, opened CrossFit Kiowa. “You can throw all these big words at peo- ple, but it’s just strength and conditioning,” Shane said. Like the saying that partially inspired them, CrossFit Kiowa is about more than getting into shape. Giving back to the community isn’t a lux- ury for the Riders. It’s a necessity. The pair formed a committee — Kiowa • CrossFit Kiowa, 150 C St., Independence, will host Memorial Day Murph, a commem- orative workout in honor of Lt.
