Starting any fitness routine is hard. Often the hardest part is working up the courage to walk into a gym for the first time to ask a stranger for help.
Chances are, if you googled “How Do I Start CrossFit In Houston, Texas?” You have already admitted to yourself that you have a problem or goal that you want help with.
You brought this goal up to your friends and they either do CrossFit or have a friend that does it that has seen success in the area you want to and has recommended it to you.
Now you are home, looking up how to take action because you want to make sure you do this right. After all, most of us are scared of failure. Failure in this journey could be:
- You don’t get the results you want.
- You put your trust in the wrong professionals because you don’t know what to look for.
- You get hurt and have to stop and take a detour in the tough journey you started.
And these are valid fears. Fear of failure is something we all experience and the last thing we want to do is to waste our time or money.
So, as you research for a gym to start doing CrossFit here is what I recommend doing to curb all of those fears:
How to Get The Results You Want:
At Vegvisir we have coached over 1,000 athletes and we can tell you this, as long as you listen to your coaches and follow the routines we prescribe, you’re gonna get to where you want to be or the closest realistic place your body can get to.
The thing about starting any fitness routine, is that you have to build habits. What you’re trying to do is put into your daily routine an hour where you take care of yourself. This doesn’t always have to be in the gym, it can be in the kitchen or just getting outside, but you are really working on putting yourself first.
The biggest thing you can realize is that there are no quick results and your results may not always be on the scale. This is a journey for life that you’re signing up for because no matter your goal, we can all agree that we want to be as healthy as possible for as long as possible. That means learning to move right and listening to those who have helped others along the same path you want to travel to save you heartache and lessons that are learned through pain. Start slow, start humble, and celebrate that you are about to embark on a journey that is going to change your life for the better.
How to Find The Right Professionals:
I’m gonna steal a line from Ted Lasso here, “Be Curious. Not Judgemental.”
When you sign up for a gym and ask for help from a stranger, it can be scary to know if this is gonna workout. As a business owner, I am constantly asking others for help and advice to make sure I’m doing the best I can for others and here are my top two filters for bullshit in this problem area:
- Do they ask questions with the intent to help me accomplish my goals?
- Have they done what I want to do and have they successfully helped others do what I want to do?
At Vegvisir CrossFit, I can tell you personally that we do both. It’s why we want to meet you face to face and do a No Sweat Intro so we can learn every aspect of what you want to accomplish so we can apply what has worked helping other people just like you get to where you want to be. If you’re looking for a gym outside of Houston, Tx, look for gyms that show the results they get and have a consultation before anything else. You won’t be disappointed taking that little extra bit of time up front to make sure you have the best possible experience along your journey.
How To Stay Injury Free:
One of the things people don’t tell you about in a journey to start working out is you’re also gonna start focusing on 2 other things:
- Sleep
- Your Mobility
Our solution to being successful at both of these? Make it a goal to get to sleep 30 minutes earlier than you do now and listen to your coach when you go to the gym! Your goal is not to lift the most weight to get to your goal faster, you will get to where you want to be when you get there. You’ll get there injury free if you take care of yourself and listen to those who are there to support you that you have taken the leap to trust. If you followed the instructions from the last part, you should have found people that will make sure you’re taken care of the whole way!
