Quote of the Day: “Because I want my clients’ training experience
to transcend the physical realm, I am
obligated to understand their jobs, hobbies,
families, and goals. Motivating clients to
transcend fitness requires that I be involved
in their lives. This isn’t going to happen
without my being both interested in them
and interesting to them.

Indeed, I am a personal friend to nearly every
one of my clients. This is extremely gratifying
work and often emotionally charged, but
that’s all right because I am an integral part
of my athlete’s lives, and life is full of laughter,
tears, and hope.” ~ CrossFit founder and CEO Greg Glassman
