As many of you may have realized, our CrossFit Impact family is continuing to grow. From new athletes just starting out in the Elements class to our Future Fire Breathers in the kids' class, our amazing community is expanding and we absolutely love it. Recent graduates of the Elements program are just starting out in their first weeks of WOD classes, and some of their faces may be new.
One of the key pieces that makes our gym so unique is the amount of camaraderie we have. We show great support for each other no matter what workout we're doing, and no one is ever left behind. With that being said, have you been introducing yourself to the new athletes at the gym? We know you may not see each other everyday, but these are the people you will be working with long-term...these are your new teammates!
We won't be quizzing you on knowing the names of every single person in your class, but we will be making sure introductions are being made, and handing out burpees to those who do not introduce themselves to new athletes in class...just kidding...but seriously. We may not have "the Name Game" built into our warm-ups, but taking five seconds to introduce yourself to someone new will take a lot less time than the burpees you will be doing if you choose to remain anonymous.
