Here is a good write up from Practice Crossfit
Taking care of yourself physically, emotionally, and nutritionally will turn your world upside down, as well as your perspective on what healthy and beautiful should look like. I chose Crossfit and it transformed every aspect of my life. It has rewired my brain, and I have a new vision of what I strive to become.
What a far cry from what used to be….
I used to want to be thin; now I proudly show off those lines in my shoulders and abs.
I used to want the pounds to decrease on the scale; now I watch them increase on the bar.
I used to exercise out of desperation; now I crave the feeling of a sub-5 Fran.
I used to eat for comfort, now I eat for fuel.
I used to do zumba, aerobics, random machines, i.e. waste my time; now I’m a Crossfitter.... READ MORE

Who makes it and who doesn't? How do you know if someone has the will and internal fortitude to sustain? Continually stress people mentally and physically and you will find out who is willing to muster through it and who caves under pressure. 
Take any case of employment or sports. People that succeed have the ability to adapt and grow within any situation. Aaron Rodgers is the quarterback of Green Bay. He has continually shown he has the ability to adapt under pressure to put himself and his team in situations to lead. This did not happen overnight and was the result of many years of training, performing, failing and succeeding. What we all see the result of his work in a brief glimpse.
Take the Navy Seals as another example. Many strive to be a SEAL. Some are selected and few actually make it. What is the difference between some vs. others? I'm sure it not a haphazard decision to go down this path and years of mental and physical preparation goes into it.
It takes years of training to mentally and physically adapt to one big game or a tough grueling test. No magic. No short cuts.
People find out a lot about themselves during stressful times. Tap into your ability to adapt, learn and grow. Keep gradually pushing your threshold. 
We are continually impressed with athletes in our gym. We as trainers have the ability to sit back and observe. The improvement of small gains over a long period of time turns into massive gains in physical/mental health and wellness. Once again, no magic, no short cuts.

Best of luck to the XLR8 Ski Team this upcoming season. They all worked hard and will be ready when the snow flies.

Thursday we did 5 Frans. If you have ever done one Fran you would know that it is tough enough. In the 5 Fran workout we used lighter weights and did jumping pull ups but either way it doesn't matter. This workout was a mental challenge every three minute round. The members did an excellent job continually giving a solid effort every round.
“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.”

We occasionally have conversations about footwear and what is the most effective. There are many different types of shoes for the various training environments. We have Oly shoes, running shoes and low-profile shoes walking in the gym. We even have no shoe people treading on the mats. Here is a great write up regarding footwear. Take from it what you will.
