The whiteboard does not care who you are. But one day, it will feel like yours. The whiteboard does not care who you are. It does not care how many years you have been training, how many classes you have taken, or how comfortable you are with a barbell. On your first day in a CrossFit box, you walk in, you look at the whiteboard, and there is a reasonable chance you will not recognise half of what is written on it. WOD. AMRAP. Wall balls. Kipping. The language alone is enough

I came to CrossFit later in life with years of fitness behind me. Experienced enough to hold my own. Rookie enough to get humbled every single session. This is what that feels like.
