CrossFit Ramstein writes about how CrossFit is like a disease.

In most cases, the word infectious may lend an immediate reaction—perhaps one of negative connotation. An infectious illness…an infectious disease.  It pleads to “stay away” or “keep your distance”. Not in this case.

Think back to before you started CrossFitting. Seriously…take a few moments and visualize what you used to do. How did you feel? Who was with you? What did you take away from your workout? Okay, now erase all of those thoughts and visualize what you do now. Answer the same questions. Are they different? They most certainly are, aren’t they? You were infected—infected with the CrossFit bug.

Some may consider us strange; they even may consider us ridiculous and melodramatic at times. Worry not my friends…it is just the infection. Are you prepared to accept something you may consider preposterous? There may not be a cure to this infectious thing we call CrossFit.  That’s okay.

Infectious. CrossFit is infectious. Never before have we seen a program that pierces one’s mind, body, and heart such as CrossFit has. Once you acquire the infection, you are lost. Lost in the world of functional fitness, unyielding community support, and the tireless drive for excellence. And not just in the gym—the infection transcends the boundaries of the box. It reaches previously unfathomable levels of confidence, consciousness, and calling.
