Part of reason why Crossfit works so well and the results come so fast is because we take you out of your comfort zone. We realize that what you do in CrossFit is not easy, it is not for everyone (although everyone can do it), we realize that we take you places that you have never been. However, we also know and see how addicting it is, how rewarding it is, and how impowering it is. Once you allow yourself to see past your so called limitations, to give up on the thought that something cannot be done, and once you realize that YES you can achieve whatever you want; well lets just say that the accomplishments just keep rolling.

When you're questioned about where you workout at, what do you say to explain CrossFit? These are some answer I've seen on different sites and blogs. Post your thoughts to comments. Think about where you train, who you train with and why you train.
-I train in a box. It has walls...sometimes. Sometimes we go outside. Sometimes we meet elsewhere. Its not the location I value, its the people.
-I train in a warehouse with no air conditioning and big garage doors. If you didn't know where it was, you would never find it. There is no sign outside. The signs of training are all inside, working, or helping one another.
-I train with people I truly enjoy, and would do anything for, not where I need to put ear phones in to block out all the annoying banter. When we go, we hear yells, trainers instructing, or loud ass music making us go even harder...not elevator bullshit. Real music.
-I train where Im valued and truly appreciate for showing up and putting forth true, real, demanding effort.
-I train because I want the mirror to be an outward reflection of how I feel inside, which is pretty damn good, and I want it to stay that way.
-I train to be different than those before me. To go out swinging, not resting. To live valiantly, not cowardly.
-I train under expectations. Expectations to be better than yesterday.
