Your gym is closing, now what?

CrossFit is more then a workout routine. Part of it's appeal is you become part of a community of link-minded people. I've even heard jokes about new instant friends the day you walk in the door. Overtime you do develop relationships with the members and coaches. There are connections made and deep relationships built over shared hardships and glorious triumphs.

So what do you do when your gym closes? You remember what the ultimate goal of CrossFit or any functional fitness routine is: to prepare you for life, and it's unpredictability. If you were brave enough to tackle a max height box jump, you are brave enough to try out a new gym. If you had the patience to figure out how to snatch a barbell over your head, you will not make a snap judgment about the new place that simply won't feel like home the first couple of visits. If you trusted a coach once to guide you to the top of a rope, you will do it again and maybe even go higher.

What you won't do is sit at home. You can't. You know how amazing it is to feel strong and accomplish things you never even dreamed of. And besides you have a closet full of neon and loads of gear you can't let go to waste.
