If you are reading this, then like me, you are reading about the different boxes to decide which one is right for you.
Today was my first WOD there, and while I have been an athlete most of my life, it was my first official CrossFit class.
I chose this place because of the video on the website. I am signing up because of the coaches and the other athletes there. I was, by far, the worst one in my group today, hands down. And you know what? All my fears of being shunned were for nothing. Everyone was welcoming and encouraging. Everyone finished with the last exercise, well, except for me, and you know what? They all kept cheering my name, wanting me to finish, possibly even more than I wanted it for myself.
I hope that if you have hesitations about CrossFit or this box, that you take the leap of faith. You will not be disappointed. If you come to the noon class, I’ll be the slow guy there, but I’ll be doing my best, and if I am in fact last, you’ll hear them cheering for me to finish. If you are the last one to finish, then I will be right there with everyone cheering you on.
The hype of CrossFit and the camaraderie is legit, at least it is at Training Yard.
