The only thing you have to fear is fear itself.

This is probably one of the most famous quotes ever from an American president. Apply it to any situation you want and it still rings true.

To those of you who are sitting out there and contemplating doing CrossFit I want you to apply this to your fitness. So many of you sit out there for months and even years trying to gather the courage to walk through the door.

I realize the images and videos you've most likely seen doesn't help much with that fear. Trust me on this. Those pictures and videos are not the vast majority of people in a CrossFit gym. They are usually the ones who have been doing it for a few years and have finally got to the point where they are doing some pretty incredible things.

I bet 95% of the men and women who walk into a CrossFit box for the first time are just like you. In some state of level of being deconditioned. Afraid, nervous and desparately not wanting to make a fool out of themselves. The only difference between them and you is they managed to quiet their fears long enough to meet with us. They found out a lot of things that cannot be explained in an email or on a website and took the first step. 

Is it hard? Yes, but that's why it works. It is our job as your coach to make it just hard enough to be effective for you but doable at any level. We are experts at this. We've done it thousands of times and we can do it again for you. You just have the courage to reach out and meet with us.

The quote in the image for this blog resonates with me. The only thing worse than fear is regret.
