People bond through fitness - when you work hard, cheer each other on, and push each other to break barriers that you previously thought were impossible - you inevitably form cohesive relationships. You may only see these individuals 3-4 times a week but you become apart of each others lives. Just as soldiers have a unique relationship with their comrades in battle, CrossFitters too bond through their hard work inside the gym. Of course, some CrossFitters may be hesitant at first and resist being closely united with their fellow CrossFitters; but the community is undeniably strong and you will always end up meeting amazing people and forming incredible friendships.
