PLEASE STOP SENDING US ANTI- or PRO - CROSSFIT ARTICLES Why? There are 313 MILLION people in America. 14% Go to the gym. 43 Million people. 86% Don’t. 269 Million people. Can we PLEASE start figuring out how to motivate, inspire, and break down the barriers to the fitness community, rather than intimidate, judge, and install barriers to those on the outside? Sure, Planet Fitness shouldn’t have it’s name. Sure, Dr Oz is a sham artist. Sure, Crossfit hurts people. Sure, Tracey Anderson doesn’t understand exercise science. But for the 86% of America that DOESN’T GO TO THE GYM, let’s work on them. Not throwing stones at those already working out. Already striving for their pursuit of fitness. But people get results at Planet Fitness who can’t afford to workout anywhere else. Dr Oz inspires many people to get off the couch, using his platform. Crossfit has introduced millions to kettlebells, Olympic Lifting, and high intensity training. Tracey Anderson has, well, Gwyneth Paltrow. In summary, please remember the 86%. They are the ones who need our help.
