The true spirit of the CrossFit community

Some people don't understand what is different about a CrossFit gym compared to a big box gym. The answer is, a lot of things. But paramount is the community, the true SPIRIT of a CrossFit family. An perfect example of this happened this morning and I snapped a picture to illustrate.

Here are Tanya, Heather, Molly and Kathy. What is so special about this picture is that Kathy was a round back from the other girls, who had finished and were trying to recover. When Kathy took off for her last 100m run, all 3 took off with her, to run as a team and then cheered her on through all 15 of her last push-ups to finish the workout.

In a CrossFit Gym, you work as hard as you can. You compete with yourself and sometimes with your classmates. You capitalize on your strengths and you face your demons. But you cheer on everyone, all the time, because we're just kind of awesome like that!
