Why is it important to build strong practices and habit as the Core of your Experience We become what we repeatedly do. To see transformation, we must go on a journey of Practice > Habit > Lifestyle: + Practice: intentionally doing the thing we want to do, which at first may seem forced or formulaic + Habit: usually doing the thing we want to do. Our habits become our default pattern as we engage in them + Lifestyle: naturally doing the thing we want to do - an unconscious reality that is part of who we are and what we do.

Honestly, I was thinking it was going to be like the other CrossFit boxes I had been to before CJP. I thought I wasn’t going to last and that my first class was going to be a try out. I was surprised by how much commitment and effort the coaches put into each of us to make us better, a month try out turned out to be 3 years of continuous work. What started as a couple days a week turned out to be a life time commitment.
I was brought to CrossFit because of the functionality it provides for every challenge life versus just bodybuilding or power lifting. CrossFit forces you to break through mental barriers and past what you thought you physical or mental limit was.
We have something at CJP that I see and appreciate at every CrossFit gym I’ve ever vistied: a community of capable, caring judges and athletes of all shapes and sizes united under one goal of helping each other to get as fit as possible. That was my expectation when I showed up here on Day One (June 2015), and that perception hasn’t changed at all in the four years since.
