Is CrossFit a Religion? CrossFit Elves
When Some Turn To Church, Others Go to CrossFit reports the New York Times. I notice in life that everything is better when we move. As such, it’s best to have a regular practice, just like praying or going to church. When things in life are amazing I celebrate by moving and working out. When things are tough and I’m down on my luck I find my way out with movement, by building strength. Working out does get you somewhere; it makes you stronger and more resilient and healthier. It also grounds you in yourself, in who you are. It’s like chopping wood and carrying water because life is a mix of the sacred and the mundane all thrown together in one big pot. Through that everyday practice, just like prayer, we find our way to the sacred. CrossFit, then, is one way to get there!

A student of programming, he loves the theory behind programming philosophies around the sport of CrossFit. He brings dedication and attention to detail to everything he does, and we are pleased to have him with us.
