So, I’m chilling in the lobby post-workout, shooting the breeze with the regulars, and we’re not just talking reps and sets. But, this time, CrossFit costs come up. A buddy thinks it’s too pricey for most. Me? I beg to differ.
It’s like this, money’s tight for everyone, I get it. But let’s talk about where our dollars go. We blow cash on dinners, games, kids’ hobbies, and pet pampering without blinking. But when it’s gym time, suddenly, we’re pinching pennies?
Here’s a thought. Skip one fancy meal a week, and boom, you’ve got your gym money. Simple, right? But no, we complicate things. We say we can’t afford it, but we don’t hesitate to drop a hundred on a night out.
Now, think about all those streaming services you’ve got. Netflix, Hulu, you name it. Did you know the average Joe spends like 55 bucks a month on these? Some even hit 75. That’s a gym membership right there! We choose ‘Netflix and chill’ over ‘sweat and sculpt’, and that’s fine but let’s call it what it is. Choices.
Oh, and that $30-$50 a month for the gym you never go to? That’s a waste, my friend. We’re signing up for stuff we don’t use, all while complaining about cash.
It’s funny, right? We don’t think twice about a $5 daily coffee or grabbing that extra beer during happy hour. But invest in a place that’s all about getting you healthier and stronger? Suddenly, it’s a debate.
So here’s where I add a little more to think about. Picture this: You’re older, and you’re wishing you took better care of yourself. Wouldn’t you trade all those throwaway spends for a fitter, healthier you? I bet you would.
We’re not just talking about dropping pounds or getting swole. It’s about feeling good, having energy, and not huffing and puffing up a flight of stairs. It’s about playing with your grandkids without your back giving out. That’s priceless.
Let’s flip the script. Instead of asking if CrossFit, or any gym is worth it, ask yourself what’s the cost of not going. What do you lose by not being fit? I’m not just talking money, you can’t put a price on health.
At the end of the day, it’s all about priorities. And hey, I’m not judging. We all make choices based on what we value. All I’m saying is maybe it’s time we value our health a bit more.
So the next time you’re about to order that extra round or click ‘Next Episode’, pause. Think about what that money could do for your health instead. Because trust me, looking back, you’ll wish you invested more in your well-being and less in fleeting pleasures. And if that’s not food for thought, I don’t know what is.
