"Do you all remember why you walked in that door? Or why you began your fitness journey. Sometimes I think we can get to caught up with competing with others instead of the most important reason of all.
You do this for YOU. We all start for different reasons but in general we all share something amazing and positive. We wanted to improve something,our fitness our health etc. You do it with us because we are good at it, and we can all help each other succeed. I challenge you all to remember why you started, and return to that state of mind if you're not currently in it. This isn't about doing more muscle ups than the person next to you, it's plain and simple about getting you more health and fitness into your life in a fun/positive way.

I have even more stress in my life than before, but since joining CFMD, I have a healthier perspective on just about everything. I include fun, new activities in my life and I make sure I get to a class at CFMD at least 4-5 times/week. I don't obsess on missing a workout (and I really do MISS the people there and the positive vibes that come from just being present--I love going not--and I don't worry when I miss because I think I'm going to get fat). I able to have a nonpaleo meal once a week without flipping a gasket and I don't worry about not sleeping because when my head hits the pillow, I'm out from all my activities.
To be honest, I couldn't articulate exactly what I wanted when I walked in the door (because I was pretty fit). I knew I wanted to get stronger (and I have), to work around old injuries and limitations without getting reinjured (and I have), to have more energy and motivation (and I do and am), and to stop worrying about the scale (haven't been on one since I stepped in CFMD). I also wanted a place I could go where people were like me--not just like me, but like me. I got so much more than all this. Joe is right. CFMD is good at what they do. They are even better than that...they are great at what they do.
