In CrossFit and in many sports athletes are very hard on themselves. They compare themselves to others, they always think they could do better and they remember what they used to be able to do. It’s also part of what got them to where they are in the first place but can quickly lead to burnout. It’s a very tricky things to work with athletes in this headspace. In order to improve at one thing we might have to let go of another thing. That’s how life works! You will change... your focus throughout you life as your goals, your ambitions and your world changes. You might change jobs, start a new relationship or have a child. The coaches at Barracks Fitness don’t care about what you’ve done in the past. They want to help you right now. You can still improve what you are doing everyday. You can still get better and you can still get a great workout. Take a minute to realize what you can do is amazing and appreciate that’s it’s truly amazing. You are improving your body everyday with every workout. What you used to do has no impact on what you are doing right now. You are enough. As coaches we already know it, we just want you to as well. #letsdothis #coaching #yayforfitness #fitnessforever

CrossFit is many things to many people!Heres some of the things our members like about it: Accomplishing new and exciting things(from 1st box jumps to rope climbs there’s always something new to master) Suffering together(there’s something special about trying really hard with a really great group of people)... Smiles and laughs(the coaches are really great, funny, informative, coach me every class and care about my improvement and safety) People get stronger(strength is awesome. It’s helps you do things you never thought you could. You will age better and you’ll make more money~ results vary on that last one) There’s so many more awesome benefits of exercise and we love them all!! New foundations starts this Saturday and we are excited for more people to join the journey to health and fitness! Still a few spots! Join us. #yayforfitness #crossfityyc #calgarycrossfit #fitnessyyc

In possibly the nicest gift we’ve ever received we want to express our gratitude to each and every person who is a part of our community. We wish we could give this feeling of love to everyone like you’ve done for us. The only thing that keeps us going is the care, thoughtfulness, messages and gratitude you’ve given us. In truth it feels like we don’t deserve it. It feels like you deserve it. In a year where most everything was taken from us we can know that we are part of... something bigger. A group and community of people that care about those around them. We’ve seen it in our walls with every workout and that continues even without the walls. We love you guys. You’re all good people and we are lucky to have you as the Barracks community. Thank you for this gift but also for everything you’ve done and continue to do. - Your Family @christibarber @cf_eric_yyc #yayforfitness See more
