Gershon Nutt
It hits differently when you say you belong to a “box” and not a gym. Its all about empowerment and mental toughness. I can go on and on but i will end off by saying that the most underrated meaning to crossfit is leaving your faith in your coaches to bring out the best version of yourself.
