After being glued to the TV all weekend watching the 2014 CrossFit games, I was left with mixed emotions. Certainly not because of the events, athletes or outcome but with being an affiliate owner during this time of year. With each passing year, the Games becomes more publicized. This generates a lot of attention for CrossFit affiliates everywhere. While I am grateful for all the free advertisement, it also paints an unrealistic depiction of the average Crossfitter. I saw those workouts on ESPN. I could NEVER do CrossFit. It can be a challenge to get people through the door. And after watching some of the Games on TV, people assume they will actually be performing similar movements and workouts if they join a CrossFit box. This could not be further from the truth. While I think the Games is a phenomenal display of athleticism, we need to remember these people are the fittest on earth (an extremely small % of actual CrossFitters) This article below does a descent job explaining why CrossFit is for everyone! Dont be scared off by what you see on TV. Be inspired by it!!! crossfitironlegion/about-us/anyone-can-do-crossfit/
