Playing the Long Game: How CrossFit's 'This Shit Works' Approach Fuels My Motivation



Sunday morning reflections often bring me to the heart of why I do what I do, and today, it's all about the deep, driving force behind my CrossFit journey. You've heard that song with the line, "I gotta ask you what's your motivation?" Well, let's dive into that – raw and unfiltered.

My motivation? It's simple yet profound – to be as healthy as I can, not just today or tomorrow, but for years to come. I’m playing the long game. And here's the kicker: I'm doing this not just for myself but for my family. I want to be that grandparent who's not just present but actively involved in my grandchildren's lives. I refuse to be a burden on my children; I choose to be their inspiration.

This realization didn’t just hit me overnight. It came from witnessing how life can unfold as we age. It's seeing the difference between those who invest in their health and those who don't. And let me tell you, the contrast is stark. I chose my side – I chose CrossFit, and guess what? This shit works.

CrossFit isn’t just a workout regime; it's a lifestyle – one that screams resilience, strength, and adaptability. It's about preserving and enhancing your work capacity across all stages of life. Why? Because being fit isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity for a life well-lived.

Now, when we say "this shit works," we're not just talking about getting ripped or lifting heavy (although those are pretty great side effects). We're talking about functional fitness – the kind that keeps you on your feet, moving, and thriving, regardless of your age. It’s about the squats that make picking up a grandchild effortless, the deadlifts that turn carrying groceries into a breeze, and the agility that keeps you sharp on your feet.

But let’s get real – it's not just rainbows and butterflies. It's gritty, challenging, and it pushes you out of your comfort zone. That's the beauty of it. It's in the sweat, the determination, and the sometimes curse-inducing workouts where the magic happens. It’s where you forge not just muscles, but character.

So, on this Sunday morning, as you ponder your own motivations, consider this: what game are you playing? Are you looking for the quick fix or the lasting change? If it's the latter, welcome to the club. CrossFit isn’t just about facing the barbell; it's about facing life head-on.

For anyone sitting on the fence, thinking, "Can I do this?" Yes, you bloody well can. And if you’re not sure where to start, come down to CrossFit Williamsville. We're in this for the long haul, for the health, the vitality, and the joy of living a full, active life.

It's Sunday, and while the world takes a break, our motivation doesn’t waver. It's fueled by a vision of life well into the future – healthy, vibrant, and unburdened. Join us in this journey; let's prove together that this CrossFit shit really does work.

Ready to start your journey towards a healthier, more resilient you? Hit me up, and let's talk fitness, longevity, and why CrossFit is the game changer you've been waiting for. Remember, we're not just training for today; we're training for life.

Stay motivated,
