Hey coach, what makes CrossFit, CrossFit?

Certified CrossFit Coach @eric1oconnor (CF-L4): I love this question because it means someone is genuinely curious about what we are about and wants to learn more. If you had asked me this question several years ago, I would have immediately said, “The community.” Our community is not just good, it’s unique. It goes against the norms and is filled with people who challenge themselves, encourage others, and overcome obstacles. This social aspect may even encourage people to stick with the program. But when I thought about it more, plenty of other fitness programs out there also have a good community environment, albeit without some of the attributes our community thrives on.

When people ask me this question now, I say something like: CrossFit leads to the best results of any program due to the potency of the methodology’s fundamentals. The community is an amazing bonus, but the methodology truly sets us apart and guarantees results.

I started my coaching journey about 20 years ago, and I honestly didn’t think the results I’m seeing in our community now were possible. “Normal” people are busting out pull-ups and doing Olympic lifts with sound technique, women are deadlifting 200+ pounds, for example. This didn’t happen before CrossFit came around. We don’t see these things happening in other programs. The potency of CrossFit relies upon elements like variance, using functional movements, and working at high-intensity levels. When I explain these concepts to people I’m coaching, I usually keep it simple.
