So when we went to the 2012 CrossFit Regionals, we did notice a few details about the CrossFit culture and community: it all had to do with edginess. Edginess because the Sport of Fitness is not only a Gym revolution, but also a cultural revolution. With the rebellious spirit against the LA Fitness and cookie cutter Globo-Gyms of the world, CrossFit embraces diversity, individuality, and competing in a futuristic tense.
A facet of the alternative culture we noticed, besides from the heavy metal blaring during the dumbbell snatch event, was the prevalence of tattoos. This links back to the shift about embracing diversity and individuality - these people have it. Within the arena holds a certain and precise enthusiasm, a magic if you will. People have
We thought a Maltese Iron Cross with the words "CrossFit" inside, would be killer. What do you think?
Remind you of West Coast Choppers?
That's the beauty of all of this: we can create whatever we want.

Today I'm going to write about my growing affinity for CrossFit.
1. Pukie the Clown
Now this is hilarious. What better mascot than a clown who works out too hard, projectile vomiting on a gym floor? It's shocking. It's hilarious. It's CrossFit. It summarizes the audacity and pure, a consistent theme throughout all Crossfitters.
And what about the name? Pukie. Are you serious right now?
This thing looks like a jacked/rhoided out version of Krusty the Klown, drinking beer and taking meth.
2. WODs
One day a WOD could be like this: And like this on the next day
Why this is so great you ask? Variety. I feel like when you walk into a CrossFit gym, you don't know what to expect. One day you could be really challenging yourself aerobically and your muscle endurance, then the next day could be pure strength.
3. A new Gym Culture
I used to swim. I actually swam for over 15 years. After graduating school, and giving up my dreams as a professional swimmer, (we all can't be Michael Phelps), I found it difficult to work out. I tried everything.
Lifting. Lifting and cardio. Running. Cycling. Running and cycling. Walking on a high incline for an hour and a half. And to be honest- it's all boring.
Then I saw a video about the CrossFit culture. It's a new way to approach the gym. Instead of lazily walking into the gym, pumping four bench presses, walking for 10 minutes, then hitting the showers, CrossFit engages you mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
You are apart of a group. You are apart of something new, and different. No more being a slave to the treadmill. No more working out aimlessly, alone, disconnected.
And the best part about a WOD, it's generally short. But obviously produces results.
4. Unique Gyms
A Unicorn vomiting rainbows on the Hoff?
No gym is the same. They are everywhere. They have their own identity. This is changing the way we approach fitness. Fitness is a sport.
5. Top 10 CrossFit SLOGANS:
1. "Strong people are harder to kill than weak people; and are more useful in general."
The more and more I Google Image Crossfit people, the more tattoos I see. A little more edgier than your average gym goer. I have two tattoos, and plan on getting more. But upon coming from under the needle, applying lotion to my wounds, I realized tattoos give you a sense of identity and self-expression. NO PAIN, NO GAIN!
Also I think it's important to reject norms that don't make sense.
Like running on a treadmill for hours upon hours at low intensity.
