Variation
The foundational movements (Squats, Lifts, and Presses), have three progressions, each more difficult than the one before. The WODs focus on strength, cardio, flexibility, and most importantly “functional fitness”. Because you will not be doing the same workout every day, your body will not be given the chance to become bored.
Support System
The camaraderie in CrossFit is a massive part of what makes the experience so unique. From the moment you walk in, you are completely engrossed in the box’s (CrossFit Gym) community. The like-minded people in the box will make you feel like you’re part of a sports team, rather than just someone going to the gym.
*BONUS* Real World Functionality
You squat, press, sprint, and lift every day, but how often do you see someone bicep curl in your day to day life? CrossFit movements translate into real world functionality. That’s why many CrossFit athletes find activities like lifting boxes, carrying groceries, and sprinting short distances (like running after a bus) easier after a couple of months.
