“Each box, each gym is a lifeboat in what is a tsunami of chronic disease.” ~ Coach Greg Glassman, Founder of CrossFit

I love this ad below. Coach has a way of saying things that resonate.

CrossFit Affiliates are Lifeboats

We get calls and emails all the time of people asking about starting CrossFit. Inevitably most of the questions revolve around the same concerns: “Do I need to be in shape to do CrossFit?” or “I’m recovering from or dealing with <insert injury/issue here> have you ever had to work with that before?” or “I heard it’s really dangerous and don’t know how to do this so how do I not get hurt?”.

Nine plus years later of doing this and I don’t have the perfect answer other than to tell them to give it a try, reassure them that we have experience with their concern, take it one scaled workout at a time, and to come meet our community and hear their stories. The hardest part sometimes really is just convincing people to jump in the lifeboat.
