CrossFit is applauded for being the sport that all types of people can do. In fact, creator Greg Glassman recently declared in an interview with CBS News that it can transform anyone. Thanks to an infinite number of scaling options — methods by which challenging movements are made easier based on your fitness level — you don’t have to be able to do a strict pull-up or handstand push-ups or pistols quite yet in order to enjoy the satisfying adrenaline rush CrossFit is. For this reason (among others), the neighborhood box has become known as the gym that doesn’t discriminate. All ages, all ability levels, all walks of life are welcomed with open arms.

If you’ve taken even one class, you can vouch for the positive and uplifting energy that is contagious is every box; appropriately, CrossFit loves to share these memorable experiences across their social media. One simply need look at their Instagram or Twitter page to see examples of athletes who rejected all the “rules” – spending most of the day sitting, letting age define everything, letting health problems get the best of you — in favor of a lifestyle of deadlifts, burpees and push-ups.

You’ve likely seen at least one of these videos floating in your news feed somewhere and for a good reason: these people inspire us beyond words.

Look at those wall walks! Javier doesn’t let anything get in his way. In the words of one tweeter, “Beast mode.”

155 pounds for a set of three deadlifts with proper form and no belt? This is something we can all learn from.

Handstand push-ups are a goal for many of us. This gentleman scaled them by kneeling on a box — which is still pretty difficult to do! Way to go, friend.

Squashed your health problems? Do the burpee dance! Many of us dread this exercise; but being able to move freely like Ann truly is a gift worth celebrating.

Bob is treating his new ticker with all the love in the world with his thrice-weekly workouts. Never take your body for granted.

In a culture where we spend more time sitting than anything else, constantly take a backseat to work and responsibilities, and put our general wellbeing on the back burner, these people serve as a crucial reminder to never stop showing your body the love and respect it deserves.
