CrossFit is an extremely popular workout for so many reasons. Not only does it get you ripped by challenging your body with different, unexpected workouts (WODs) each time, it’s also a great way to become part of a global community where you can find a CrossFit ‘box’ (that’s CrossFit lingo for ‘gym’, btw) pretty much anywhere in the world.
