Joining a CrossFit gym is not for the faint at heart (although it should be because they won’t stay that way for long) it for people who seriously want to become healthy and reach their optimum physical condition. Once you reach the stage when you understand that you have to do something to regain the energy you had during your youth, you are ready for CrossFit and finding these benefits for yourself.

1. You will really know just how out of shape you are

Most people spend their first few sessions at CrossFit learning stretches and basic techniques. Although this is an easy stage you will sweat like you never have before and you will spend most of your time trying to catch your breath.

2. The realisation of just how fat and unfit you are, will surprise you

All the instructors and longtime CrossFiters will look like superheroes, they will be much lighter than you, but have at least twice your strength. The idea is not to look like MR or Miss Universe with huge muscles, mostly CrossFit athletes look just like other athletes, but they are really strong.

3. You will learn all the different terminology

Things like WOD which means Workout of the Day. Every day there is a combination of exercises that everyone does that day. Usually, this WOD consists of one gymnastic move, one cardio move and one power lifting maneuver

RX is the term when you finish everything in the specified time.

Box is the CrossFit center, it’s not called a Gym but a BOX.

4. Everyone you know who is not a CrossFit member

People will think you have finally lost the plot and try and advise you just how dangerous Cross..something or other is. It is nothing like a commercial fitness club or gym.

5. You will get good at counting

CrossFit is about doing reps you do 20 of this then 10 of something else, followed by 30 of this, then a run for so many meters. You will learn quickly how to count backward and figure out how many reps are left until your break.

6. You will discover what stamina and endurance is

This is nothing like you have ever experienced before, it will give you a whole new respect and appreciation of what strong is.

  1. First, you will be surprised that you will gain weight as muscle is much heavier than fat, but soon you will find that this stops and you regain your optimum size and weight.
  2. New Energy

You will have lots of energy even after a hard workout.

9. Mental weakness

You will learn just what mind over matter means.

10. Mental Strength

CrossFit will help you develop your mental abilities and just how tough you can be.

Learning and joining a CrossFit gym is one of the best things a person can do for their own development. It is on a personal level, but done with a whole team of people with similar desires and ideals. CrossFit is a tight family of supportive people.
