You want to improve your fitness. You have goals. You have an idea of how to acheive those goals. We can help with our programming, community and coaching. There's a big variable though -- and that's your mindset.

A proper mental mindset is a prerequisite for deciding that you want a black belt in fitness. You've gotta be coachable. You've got to put the work in. You need to be determined and consistent. There can be no room for a rift between thought and action.

Let's bring some Ayn Rand in. For those of you that just rolled your eyes...stick with me. I'm not asking you to accept Rand's world view part and parcel...just using a piece as an example. Take it for what you will.

To be successful in life, or rather, have a successful life Rand says that a person has to have reason, purpose and self-esteem. I'll buy that.

What about support though? I'd add that to the mix as well. Create and cultivate an environment for yourself that's set up for success both physically and psychologically. Set up conditions and associations that complement your goals. I'd say training at at CrossFit gym is a step in that direction. We're a good natured, helpful bunch that's invested in the success of people coming on. Quick case in point -- our members hanging out with newer people after class and working on skills with them; or staying late to get to know the people coming in from the Groupon. You've got support. We also have the stuff you need to train all sorts of lifts and movements. Boom - the physical aspect is covered as well.
