Misery Loves Company

img_2912 The guys in this photo generally don’t have to worry too much about being the last one finished with the WOD. Actually, they’re usually they’re more concerned with which one of them is going to be first. But even though you could measure the amount of time they finish the WOD before me with a sundial, they’re always there to cheer me on to my eventual finish.

One of the best things about CrossFit is the support you get from the community. The motivation and encouragement everyone receives from everyone else is a big part of what makes coming to the gym so much fun.

Everyone deserves the best possible chance at success, and it’s so much easier to do with that telltale CrossFit community behind them cheering them on to the finish. So in the future, hold off on putting your equipment away right when you’re done with the WOD, and spend that time making sure that the people who aren’t finished yet get the motivation and encouragement you got when you needed it.

We start the workout together, we suffer together, and we finish the workout together.
