Why I don't weigh and measure people

We don't focus on aesthetics in this gym. Just look at what we wear! And my hair!! Hahaha! I don't care what size you wear, and I only care about your weight when setting up your barbell for a 2x body weight deadlift, and if you pull it we'll all be doin' some celebratin'!! We focus on performance and this is why:

Let's say you really want a sub-5 minute Fran or 10 unassisted pull ups. If you are focused and committed to that goal you will do what you need to get there. You will eat right and get enough sleep, you will train consistently and maybe even do a little extra work after your warm up or workout. You will research nutrition and fitness sites looking for suggestions and hints to improve your performance. You will tell everyone here what your goals are so they can hold you accountable. You will work hard and take care of yourself until you reach that goal. And guess what? 99/100 people who can do a sub-5 minute Fran or 10 unassisted pull ups look like someone who can do a sub-5 minute Fran or 10 unassisted pullups! There's your aesthetics.....they take care of themselves if you focus on performance.

Pretty is as pretty does. What you can do or accomplish is really what matters. It's what matters here, and it's what matters in your life. Think about setting some goals. Maybe a 5 minute Fran or 10 pullups seems a little too lofty for your current fitness state. How about a bodyweight deadlift, or 0ne pullup? Real pushups? Run a mile? Consistently working out 4x/wk?

2 months ago Cooper made a list of goals he wanted to accomplish before leaving for college. He has trained consistently and trained hard. He has changed his diet, he has done extra skill work after his workouts. He is making great progress on those goals having already accomplished a 24 round Cindy, flipping the tire and I'm pretty sure he's going to get that 5 minute Fran. Now tell me....does Cooper look like someone who can do a 5 minute Fran?? He sure does.

Big congratulations to Laura and Bridgette for doing 4 workouts in their first week of CrossFit!! Laura has set a goal. She wants a pull up for Christmas! And we'll all help her get it!
