Together we are Stronger
There are more CrossFit gyms in the world than Starbucks in the US.
Let that sink in a moment.
CrossFit began its monumental growth in 2000, soaring to over 13,000 locations in 2017. The cult-like fanaticism of its followers has led it to become the most dominant fitness trend of all time.
Why has CrossFit been so successful?
Beyond the tremendous health benefits of the workouts, nutrition, or lifestyle philosophy, it has captured an element of society that has long been disappearing. CrossFit instills a sense of community and social belonging in its members.
Communities are Disappearing
Let’s take a stroll down memory lane (for some of us). Churches were the heart of families and communities for centuries. They would bring families and communities together in celebration, fellowship, and supporting one another in hard times.
Now in the 2000’s, we don’t have the same troubles our ancestors once had, and there’s never been a better time for freedom of speech, global connectedness via the internet, and ability to choose where we live.
As a result, our connections have grown broader, yet research shows they are shallower than ever:
- 16% of Americans have no religious preference (up 800% since 1950)
- 40% decline in community participation
- 72% of people feel lonely
Communities are disappearing and leaving us lonely
Welcome to the Matrix
Today’s quick and easy access to devices and the internet has led to an explosion in how much easier it is to connect, and yet has left us feeling lonelier and more disconnected than ever. Despite the hundreds of hours Americans spend on social media, the divide in real life has only grown larger.
- The average American spends 11 hours a day using media
- Since 2008 youth sports participation has declined 8%
- By age 19, Americans are as sedentary as their aging Grandparents
People are lonelier, less engaged, and less active than ever before. Even in fitness, people are more likely to plug in some headphones and jump on the treadmill than grab a buddy for a nice run under the sun.
Is there a Red Pill? (Matrix fans enjoy)
Community is the Solution
As Churches and garage sales fade, people still have that same desire for connectedness and community. That kind of connection that can’t be achieved through Facebook likes alone.
This would be easier with a friend
Adolescents and adults may turn to traditional gyms or recreational sporting events. The large franchise gyms might give you a warm welcome tour, have some familiar faces, maybe even an occasional spot buddy or two. But, unless you’re very outgoing, it’s difficult to turn strangers into friends or feel like you’re part of something bigger than yourself. People are still left glued to treadmill televisions, iPods, and noise-cancelling headphones.
What makes CrossFit Special?
CrossFit offers a completely different experience. Boxes are communities and families. The owners and coaches are spouses, siblings, and best friends. They have community roots and they welcome members warmly into their circle.
WODs may be individually scored, but they are completed with team spirit and group effort. The advanced athletes always rush to cheer on the rest of their class. When you’ve got a squad of people screaming at you to finish a set of rope climbs, you’ll be amazed to learn how much more you have left in the tank.
Birthdays, newborns, and holidays are all celebrated together. Everyone knows when you reach a new PR. Your box mates hold you accountable to missing a class and showing up on time.
Sound like a family? CrossFit combines the best of fitness with the healthy atmosphere of a community.

Cyber-Genie is an endorsed hacker with years of expertise in BTC/Crypto token tracing and recovering it from fake investment website Bitcoin scammers. Before having a personal encounter with him, I was a victim of a well-organized crypto investment scam syndicate that cost me a substantial amount of money. A lot of pleas to these scammers to refund all I had sent fell on deaf ears. I guess. I never thought it was ever going to be possible for me to recover all that I had lost from these swindlers but Cyber-Genie and his team of Ethical hackers proved me wrong. Recovering all that I had lost to these scammers was the best day ever in my life. I just didn’t get my lost tokens recovered but I did learn a lot about how the cryptocurrency market works. If you ever find yourself ever needing a “legit hacker for hire” contact ( cyber genie @ cyber services. com ) 0R ( WhatApp: +1 (’25’2) 5’1’2-0’3’9’1 )…!!!
This is to notify anyone looking to reclaim his\her bitcoin lost to reapers in binary options and FX deals. As well as to recover any lost money due to internet scams. For a successful recovery procedure, I advice you to get in touch with one who sees you with the fear and respect for God. Not all testimonies and recommendations are true and in times of you trying to solicit for assistance on recovery of lost funds, one may eventually be victimized and turned a pray.
I had my blockchain wallet spoofed by ruthless con artists, and they made off with $265.000 from it. This made me very unhappy and upset because I was in serious need of assistance. On reaching out for help, I ran into some hell made link I followed claiming to be recovery agents and was further more duped. During my online inquiry, I came across one agency I ignored but with quit appealing remarks, (Sean_recovery@cyber-wizard.com). Considering all lost, I felt no more fears after all, there was nothing more to lose, so I decided to give a try to it and to lo and behold, I was astonished by the result. I’m grateful for the hack group’s assistance in helping me recover what I lost and in identifying the trespassers as well. I can’t keep but share this information particularly to anyone else in a similar position who wants to recover lost assets.

My husband left I and my son and never returned till DR ISIKOLO intervened. My story does not differ from others who have taken their time to share information about him to the world. I had marital issues with my husband which made him leave me and traveled to another city. At some point i was depressed and got help from nowhere till i came in contact with Dr Isikolo who helped me. He restored the love and connection between me and my partner and i got him back after 2 days as he promised. Just like everyone else talking about him, I am here to tell good of him and thank him for bringing joy to my life once again. He won’t fail if you give him a try to help you as well. Just text him via WhatsApp/Telegram: +2348133261196 or read more about him and as well contact him via his website (https://isikolotemple.com) or email: isikolosolutionhome@gmail.com
HOW I WAS ABLE TO GET BACK MY STOLEN CRYPTOCURRENCY FUNDS WITH THE HELP OF ASTRAWEBCYBERSECURITY. NET
I was in total dismay when I lost my entire savings investing in cryptocurrency, I was contacted online by a lady through email pretending to be an account manager of a bank, who told me I could make double my savings through cryptocurrency investment, I never imagined it would be a scam and I was going to lose everything. It went on for weeks until I realized that I have been scammed.
All hope was lost, I was devastated and broke, fortunately for me, I came across an article on my local bulletin about AstraWeb Cyber Security, I contacted them and provided all the information regarding my case, I was amazed at how quickly they recovered my cryptocurrency funds and was able to trace down those scammers. I’m truly grateful for their service and I recommend them to everyone who needs to recover their funds.
