For Everyone

Our needs differ by degree not kind.

If you’ve used the small gym washroom you’ve seen this quote written on the chalk wall. This is one of our favourite quotes from CrossFit Founder Greg Glassman.

The needs of the Olympic athlete and the needs of our grandparents differ by degree not by kind. Meaning, what we do day in and day out in classes is for everyone. On Tuesday morning we had the unique opportunity to see this play out in real time. While not with an Olympic athlete, it was with the 2023 2nd Fittest Female Athlete on Earth, 18 year old Emma Lawson, and our incredible member Nancy Ross who is 87 years old. The needs of a CrossFit Games athlete and the needs of a grandmother differ by degree, not kind. Both ladies, who also have been CrossFitting for 11+ years each, did the exact same workout just feet apart from each other, and both got exactly what they needed out the workout. The number of rounds, the weight, box height, etc, all might have been different, (the degree) but the workout was the exact same for both. (the kind)

That’s the true beauty of CrossFit. Much like the CrossFit Open, we can all play. We can all do the same workout, and get what we need out of it.
