Everyone who does CrossFit knows that it is more than just a workout.
Three things make CrossFit so effective: the methodology, the coach, and the community.
The magic of CrossFit is in the community. When you go to a CrossFit gym you’re joining a tight-knit local community that is connected to a massive global network of people who, like you, are working to become fitter, healthier and happier. Within these walls you’ll find genuine support and encouragement, from people bonded by the same goals, who are all here to motivate and support each other along the way.
Our classes are full of laughter, support, inspiration and encouragement. It’s a place where you will do things you never thought possible. Together in classes we try new things. We have some wins, we have some fails, but no matter what we give it a go and we have a laugh together. We pick each other up and hold each other accountable to show up and try again tomorrow.
Why is CrossFit so effective in building community connections?
Part of it is the comradery CrossFit creates. Shared experiences build relationships. We show up and put in the work together. We work hard in front of each other, with each other, and we cheer each other on. We share in the challenge of doing hard things. This creates comradery and connection. This creates a space where we feel welcome and supported in working towards our goals – a space where we belong.
During a workout we have the opportunity to truly get to know ourselves, how we react to unexpected challenges, to failures, and to successes. And we look around the room and see our fellow members experiencing the same thing as us, or cheering us on to push that little bit hard, try for that one extra rep, we forge a unique connection that many people rarely feel outside of the gym.
This community is what helps you stay motivated. This community is what gets you results.
The members who become friends and mean you never skip a day.
The partner workouts that make your week.
The competitive push in class that makes you put in that little but more effort to bet your gym buddy.
The coach who really cares, who ensures every person in every class is making progress towards their goals.
At CrossFit Affinity, you’re never alone in the work.
