“I’m Not Good Enough”: Conquering CrossFit Intimidation

Stepping into a CrossFit box for the first time can be like walking onto a stage where everyone else seems to know the script but you. The barbells, the pull-up rigs, the athletes moving with power and precision – it’s a scene that can trigger feelings of inadequacy, even for those who have dabbled in fitness before.

Perhaps you’ve done a few classes, and you’re still fumbling with the lingo, unsure of the movements, or comparing yourself to the more experienced athletes. It’s easy to get caught up in those feelings, to tell yourself, “I’m not good enough for this.”

But here’s the truth: those feelings are perfectly normal. We all have them, even the most seasoned athletes. And at CrossFit Chiltern, we’re here to help you overcome those doubts and discover your inner strength.
