What is the most underrated aspect of CrossFit?

There are too many things to list about what sets CrossFit apart from other workout programs. But I think that the most underrated thing about CrossFit is that it makes working out FUN!

I am a former Division 1 athlete who has trained my entire life. And even I hate working out by myself. I lack motivation, I get bored, and it feels like a chore. However, in the 13 years I’ve been doing CrossFit, I still get excited everyday to come to the gym and I still get excited about the workouts. 

That excitement comes from the environment you walk into when you come to the CrossFit gym. 

CrossFit is constantly pre-judged for being too intense, too intimidating, and too hard. But what people don’t see until they step into the gym is that it’s really just a place for adults (and kids) to come have fun working out – it’s like a giant playground. 

When was the last time you played on the monkey bars or tried doing a handstand in the backyard? At the gym when you work on kipping pull-ups or do bear crawls in place of handstand walking, you really are just playing around.

Shifting the mindframe from “working out is scary” to “working out is fun” makes all the difference. 

Going to the gym should not feel like a chore. It should be the thing you look forward to most in your day.

CrossFit is just a playground for adults. It should not be scary and we would love the chance to show you how much FUN you can have working out.
