A year ago, I thought Crossfit was just a ridiculous fad. Then I walked into a Crossfit gym to see what it was all about. First thing I noticed, the refreshing atmosphere -- pure, positive energy. I could see people already walking towards me to shake my hand with a smile. I could see the head guy there just getting out of bed, almost laughing as he came over to shake my hand. He asked if I'd like tea or coffee, and immediately ran into his kitchen to put on the kettle. His three kids were at the table doing their homework -- they seemed like the happiest, kindest young kids I've ever seen. I told him I couldn't stay long for a workout, but that I will be coming back for a workout another time. I left his house, but put a thank you card into the mailbox on the way out. On the way out, even the guy at the front desk gave me a nod and a "hope to see you soon!" as I left.
Whether you like it or not, it's a positive, good energy there.
