What advice do you have for other people considering trying CrossFit? The first time I told my mom about CrossFit, I told her about how great it was because everyone was doing the same thing at the same time. We are sharing a moment together. For me, it was really bewildering to see twenty five people waiting for the clock to start to do the exact same thing. It really motivates you to finish. You can't do CrossFit by yourself - you need that group environment to motivate you. You suffer together. When you see someone finish before you, you're motivated to finish. It's very beautiful and incredibly inspiring.
