CrossFit® is sweeping the nation as a popular exercise method that combines strength exercises like weightlifting with high-intensity cardio from running and rowing. This unique sport provides many benefits from increasing stamina to improving weight loss and helping people gain muscle. What’s it like becoming a CrossFitter? Below, our team at Bombers CrossFit® in Dayton, OH, outlines three helpful facts our CrossFitters wish they knew before beginning the program.

Don’t Start CrossFit Without Knowing These 3 Facts

1. The Stereotypes Aren’t True

People often think of those who do CrossFit as super buff, powerful people. CrossFitters have even taken on a reputation as not wanting to help one another or welcome in newcomers to the sport. Thankfully, these statements are myths. Many CrossFitters are excited to introduce new people to the community and are more than willing to provide assistance and reassurance.

2. Forget Your Past Athletic Accomplishments

CrossFit Dayton OHWhen new CrossFitters enter the facility, many think they are ready to take on this new intense activity. However, many are surprised to find out that they have more to learn than they thought. CrossFit is so different from any other exercise that you may struggle at first. Don’t worry, over time you’ll improve just like with any other athletic endeavor. And with your improved CrossFit skills, you’ll also have better general abilities like strength and stamina that carry over to other physical pursuits and areas of your life.

3. Each Workout Is Customizable

When you join a CrossFit gym, you don’t have to do each move to complete a workout. Altering this unique regimen to your speed and needs is important. For example, as you begin learning more difficult reps and trying new challenges, you’ll want to go slower than those around you so you can get the hang of it and stay safe while still pushing yourself.
