Yes I am back again!

Judgment Free Zone?

I don't think I really need to comment on this one because I believe everyone is on the same page. In a place like Planet fitness you have all sorts of people doing all sorts of different things.
-The runnner: He/she will be judging the person who is weightlifting.
-The weightlifter: He/she will be judging the runner.
-The roamer: He/she will be judging the weightlifter when they are running and then judging the runners when they are weightlifting.

In a place like that everyone is doing what he/she thinks is best for their fitness, so of course they are going to judge someone who is doing something different. And yes there are people who do not judge, I don't want to be a total negative Nancy here.

In a place like CFO we all believe in "true" fitness. That is hard work and "understanding" why we do the things we do. You come here and understand why we do short intense workouts, work on strength and widen your athletic ability. It makes you a well rounded person. People who go into Planet Fitness don't understand what you all do. That is why you all are above and beyond the average american. There will always be outlets to the lazy people out there, but like the quote says "You want anything good in this life you are going to have to work hard to get it". This is why you see people in here work hard at every other aspect of their life. Compared to people who sit on a machine or ride a bike for their workout.

Just think about it. You work your ass off when you come to the gym, you probably do the same at all aspects of life. You drive yourself to be a winner. People who have time to workout and waste it by sitting on a bike and watching TV either don't have the knowledge of what they can do in the gym or they are lazy. I get that from a lot of people, they just don't know their options. Just think about what you were doing before you came to CFO. Were you one of these people? I know I was, back and bi's one day, chest and tri's the next. Neglecting my legs and running because well to be honest it was hard work. Now I understand like all of you what I need to be doing.

So to sum up my (I don't think I really need to comment on this one) comment. I feel people need to be educated and really understand what are the best routes to improve their fitness. If people would truly open their minds and stop taking the easy way out Planet Fitness would still be a judgement free zone but would allow any type of lifting to be done to improve someones health because everyone would understand the benefit behind it.

Sometimes I get off track but hopefully it make sense. Please comment and let me know what you think. Please really think about it next time you decide to judge someone who isn't doing CrossFit. DO they know there are other options, do they understand why they are doing the things they are doing? Please use the knowledge you get in here to help people out there, if you don't totally understand please ask we love it when you have questions!
