I found these on the CrossFit Message Boards and thought I would share!
You know you’re a CrossFitter when:
- You readily admit that one of the “Girls” kicked your ass!
- You don’t own a tractor, but you own tractor tires.
- Helping your friends move turns into a met-con WOD.
- Every time you go to Home Depot, you’re looking for the exercise potential of equipment, rather than stuff for your home.
- When you get married, instead of registering at The Bay, you register at Rogue Fitness.
- Your steering wheel and radio controls are covered in chalk.
- When the nail salon ladies turn you away for a manicure.
- In order to bike home, you have to spend twice as much time recovering from the workout than it took you to finish it.
- When you think it’s cool that your girlfriend is purposefully scraping her hands with a cheese-grater implement.
- When you laugh at almost all the exercises normal people say they do at the gym.
- When you wake up at 5 a.m. to do an 8-minute workout.
- When the only workout you do from a sport is the one its athletes fear the most.
- You can tell a woman she has a great snatch, and not get slapped by your wife/significant other.
- Your body hurts all over but you still get up and work out.
- When you spend more time blogging and researching CrossFit sites than you do actually working!
- When you pick your cubicle at work because of its hand-stand practice potential.
And finally, this one is for all you CrossFit ladies who wear high heels. You know you’re a CrossFitter when:
- Your favorite pair of shoes are your weight shoes.
How do YOU know you’re a CrossFitter? Post to comments!

Hey, I think your site might be having browser compatibility
issues. When I look at your blog site in Safari, it looks fine
but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, fantastic blog!
