Yoshida has been doing CrossFit for over 3 years. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic his previous gym closed, and he found a nearby CrossFit gym. Yoshida believes in the importance of performing movements carefully to prevent injuries and also enjoys the welcoming community at our box. CrossFit has made his muscles stronger, and he finds it akin to meditation, offering an escape from life’s stress in an extraordinary environment. Previously, Yoshida was into climbing and mountaineering, which, like CrossFit, requires constant focus to avoid serious harm. CrossFit has become a healing outlet for his mind.
How long have you been doing CrossFit?
More than 3 years.
What made you decide to start?
Due to the Corona disaster, the 24-hour gym I used to go to closed temporarily and my employer also made me work remotely. I searched for the closest gym to my house to get exercise and found CrossFit!
Do you have any goals or objectives?
Building a body that is injury-free and able to exercise for the long term. Performing each movement carefully and not rushing to achieve success.
What is the most enjoyable thing about doing CrossFit?
Meeting people from different backgrounds and values. The loose community is the best thing about it.
Have you noticed any changes in your daily life since you started CrossFit?
My muscles are stronger and I can no longer fit into the suit I used to wear 😂
What advice would you give to someone who is thinking about starting CrossFit?
Before CrossFit, I was climbing, backcountry and mountaineering. All have one thing in common: if you don’t focus on your decisions and movements at every moment, you can die or be seriously injured. CrossFit is like meditation for those of us who live in a stressful society, allowing us to forget about it for a short time and put ourselves in an extraordinary environment. Let’s relieve your mental fatigue with CrossFit!
