A buddy of mine owns a "box".....what a great sales term by the way. It was an investment in a trend with several physiological advantages that backed it. Which is basically what the sales pitch was to him to start the box. Of course it has really made him some money. I've jumped in from time to time to watch for entertainment value. It truly is a collection of geeks and highschool non athletes that now feel like jocks at the age of 30. The thing I always ask him is how none of his sheepeople ask him how he got in such great shape before cultfit? He has no answer. The guy has worked out for 20 years and is phenomenal shape. All done before cultfit hit the scene. It just amazes me how gullible people are and the power of having to be apart of a group.

Being part of a group really does help.

I started working out again a few months back and the last time I lifted weights was probably 7-8 years ago.

Going to the gym by yourself and lifting really low amounts makes you feel pretty damn self concious.

To avoid that, I always picked the times where few people were there.

Eventually got over it when I realized that no one there gave a frick.

What's wrong with being a part of a group? I'm failing to understand the negative. I've met a lot of good people thru crossfit

What's wrong with geeks & non athletes working out?
