Check Your Ego at a CrossFit Gym

One of the unique experiences in CrossFit is how it brings together people from all walks of life and all athletic abilities. In my travels I worked out with CEOs, tycoons, elite soldiers, triathletes, tennis players and titled bodybuilders. Not that anyone noticed.

Somehow everyone who enters a CrossFit gym checks their ego at the door. Not because they are above feeling proud, but simply because there is no other choice. CF will crush any weakness even in the strongest specialized athlete. CrossFit levels the playing field between those who have it all and those who bring it all. After a while the only thing that matters is not who came in the door but what they brought with them.

This more than anything makes this sport so amazing and the community it builds so strong.
