What a Real CrossFit Affiliate Actually Looks Like
Hey, I’m Dan, Adelaide’s newest CrossFit Affiliate owner. I often talk to other gym owners and participants who claim they go to a “crossfit” gym, or work at a “crossfit” gym, when in fact they couldn’t be further from the hard truth.
So what is a genuine CrossFit Affiliate? I mean really….🤓
When there are so many group fitness providers and gyms who claim to do “crossfit” (but are not actually the real thing), it can cause a lot of confusion and leave many thinking what is the difference between a genuine licensed CrossFit Affiliate and the others.
There are over 16k Genuine Licensed CrossFit gyms worldwide. Our gyms look very different to your traditional gyms – there are no machines, floor spaces are decluttered and open and you don’t see any mirrors – just a cool looking rig, some barbells, a stack of weight plates and other functional equipment that you get to play with as part of the workouts.
The best thing about a genuine Affiliate is the people – this includes the coaches and the members. Our gyms are filled with like-minded people who come together to work hard and whom simply want a better quality of life.
The workouts are not bias toward just cardio, just strength or using the same station based structures day-in day-out. Our workouts include a balanced and broad mix of weightlifting, cardio and gymnastics movements that are constantly varied throughout the week to ensure you get enough variety in your fitness so your body gets used to adapting to ever changing demands.
CrossFit Affiliates are not about making people look good. They’re all about building functionally fit bodies that are ready to take on the demands of life on Earth. Weight loss and increases in muscle mass are simply the by-products of training safely, consistently and with great technique, which are the foundations for genuine health and fitness.
CrossFit Affiliates don’t make empty promises or claims that every person who walks into a CrossFit gym will lose a stack of body fat, or become super fit in only 8 weeks. There is a process and a journey which takes time and we encourage our members to get outside of their comfort zones and abandon the easy road in order to get real results. There is no other way to get healthier and more fit. Not only do our members see great results, they are amazed as to how far they have come with their fitness and end up wondering why they’ve never tried it before.
Walking into a CrossFit gym for the first time can be intimidating and a little scary at first. Everyone who has ever started CrossFit has been through this before and most have their perceptions crushed very soon after meeting the coach and the community.
CrossFit is about changing lives for the better, for the life-span of the person – not just physically, but also mentally.
Summary
Remember, we all start somewhere in our health and fitness journeys – with baby steps. We then gradually move forward from there, building positive habits into our lifestyles that are sustainable and achievable.
