CrossFit Burke

💪🏼BRAG POST UPCOMING💪🏼

There are a lot of certifications in the fitness industry, but this one is different. I am incredibly proud to congratulate Coach Matt on earning his CrossFit level 3 Trainer (CF-L3) credential. It’s one of the highest coaching credentials that CrossFit offers. With only about 30 Level 3 trainers in Virginia, it’s a remarkable accomplishment.

If you’ve spent any time in class with Coach Matt, this probably doesn’t surprise you. He genuinely cares about our members, puts a ton of thought into every class he coaches, and is always looking for ways to improve himself.

Continuing education isn’t something we check off a list, it’s part of who we are at CrossFit Burke. Matt’s accomplishment is something the entire community can be proud of because it means we are continuing to raise the bar for the coaching our members receive every time they walk through the doors. Congratulations Matt, we are lucky to have you!

😩The sad truth is…people quit!
People often ask what the hardest part about running a CrossFit gym is… The answer is simple . We don’t have control over anyone’s internal motivation. And that means having to see people defeat themselves and give up. It absolutely pains me.

People realize quickly CrossFit is hard.
It’s uncomfortable and it exposes you.
It doesn’t give a crap about your ego.

You can’t hide out in a class
You can’t fake it, and there is no way to outsource effort.

it may be novel at first… New gear, new things you haven’t tried, new challenges

😳 then it gets real FAST!

you miss a class, then a couple… Paired with the difficulty, you start negotiating…

“ I’m busy”
“ I’ll come back when life comes down”
“ my knee is sore so it’s not healthy for me to go into the gym”
And just like that… People disappear.
Unfortunately, their BS excuses only sound good to them in their own brains

People don’t quit because CrossFit doesn’t work.
They quit because it does

It shows them exactly where they are…
and while that is absolutely a positive thing, it also highlights that they are out of practice, out of discipline, and out of doing something consistently positive for themselves.

And hell, it feels way more comfortable to lean on being busy or sore than it does to stare at the truth.

And let’s face it, some people just don’t like being revealed.

And the ones who do stay?
They build something that most people won’t.

Confidence. Character. Grit.
A better life. Period.

THAT is the real difference.

When you come and go in 90 days, nobody wins.

If if you are truly ready to make a change, TM us to set up some time to chat about how we can help !
