Why do you like CrossFit so much?

CrossFit is extremely effective, and has very quickly gotten me (finally at 40) the body I’ve always wanted. It is fun and challenging. It is empowering and makes me feel strong, capable, and confident.

I love seeing the WOD, wondering if I can do that, just doing it, and realizing that I COULD do it! Quite often the WOD ends up being “easier” than I thought it would be, and more often than not I walk out of the gym feeling like I’ve really accomplished something; feeling strong and powerful.

It is great to always be doing something different, so it doesn’t get boring. And you always have a goal, regardless of the workout. Each time you finish a workout, your goal is set for the next time it comes up – to do it Rx’d, or to do it faster, or do more reps, or lift heavier weights.

I also love the atmosphere. Everyone is supportive and encouraging of each other. We are friends – even family. Any competition is friendly because even when we want to do better than someone else we are still encouraging them to beat us. Who “wins” doesn’t really matter – it is more about just doing the best that we each can.
