Off to the races:

What is CrossFit? This video gets me fired up. Fired up to train, coach, and simply walk into the box and be around clients, friends, and family. It gets me thinking too.

   

What is CrossFit to me? It's my way of embracing life. Seizing the day. It's taking on a challenge and struggling to push both mentally and physically to see it through. It's self-improvement, self-motivation and self-satisfaction. CrossFit is setting the example for my kid, my family, my friends, and my community. It's evidence based fitness both of mind and body. It's also hard and intimidating. CrossFit is butterflies in your stomach, mind screaming "quit" and then "don't quit". It's almost never wanting to do the WOD until you hear "3-2-1 Go" and then loving that you did the WOD when it's over. It's bumper plates, big lifts, tall socks, board shorts and no shirt. Tire flips, rope climbs, handstands and being a big kid whenever you want. It's epic, awesome and badass every single day. It is workouts that really are workouts. CrossFit is coaching, training, cheering, good games, and good times. It's eating right, hating to rest, and chomping to get back to that next dreaded workout. It's marriage counseling. It's setting PR's, learning new skills and newfound confidence, and then getting better at whatever you use your fitness to go do. It's turning weaknesses into strengths. It's helping my loved ones live a few more healthy and productive years. CrossFit is a vehicle which you can use to change your life, and we have been lucky enough to witness it daily in our box. Most of all, it's simply FUN.

So what is CrossFit to you?

@ Tom and Michelle- In Response to your question-- "What is Crossfit to Me?"--it seems appropriate as we celebrate Marc's 41st birthday, to say Crossfit has been both a life changer and a life saver. One year ago (10 months ago really) there is no way Marc or I could possibly have performed this WOD. You guys have been incredible trainers, motivators, and friends. We can not say THANK YOU enough for what you do every day in the box. I truly believe Crossfit has added quality and quantity to our lives. Really need to have Marc remind you of all the health issues he used to have--high cholesterol, bad ankles, etc... Issues are gone now and we are having a blast with our friends and family!

Crossfit means sanity..... challenges, fun and often pain shared with friends, which enable me to leave the box a 'little' bit saner than when I arrived! You all rock!

Love it! Although Jorge's is the most.....unique.
