Cleaning the whiteboard or scared to show the WOD? You make the call

Do you remember your first day at CrossFit? Whether it was last week or last year.

Maybe it was exciting, maybe it was overwhelming, or more likely it was some combination of the two. Chances are, you had a little voice in your head that was somehow convincing you that everyone else in the room knew exactly what they were doing and you were the ONLY one who didn’t know how all this stuff works. You may also have been convinced you were going to be dead last in the workout and slower than anyone ever previously seen at CFSF.

None of those things were true, of course, but they felt true that day. And what may have helped you through those early scary days was a friendly smile or helpful suggestion from a veteran classmate. Remember that! Now that you’re a pro at this stuff (and you ARE), when you see a new face in class, say hello. If they look lost, show them where things are. YOU can make a difference in the experience of your classmates, and ultimately, their journey toward health and fitness.
