What do You Like Most About CrossFit?
The Classes/Wods – you will never push yourself as much as you do within a CrossFit class. The Community – being surrounded by others in a class, doing a workout where everyone is trying to push/support themselves and each other to better themselves is something special. Measurable – progress is acknowledged, highlighted and celebrated, you’ll be surprised when reminded of how far you may have come since starting out.
