Debunking the Biggest Myths About CrossFit

Don’t let fear or bad info keep you from the best hour of your day.

If you’ve ever Googled “CrossFit,” there’s a good chance you’ve seen some… opinions. Maybe even some dramatic fails. And hey, we get it — trying something new is scary enough without the internet telling you that you need to be an elite athlete before you even walk in the door.

So let’s clear the air and bust a few of the biggest myths we hear all the time:


🚫 MYTH #1: “CrossFit is dangerous.”

Truth: Poor coaching is dangerous. Bad movement patterns are dangerous. But CrossFit, done with proper instruction and scaling, is incredibly safe — and actually prevents injury by building strength, mobility, and control. At 033, we coach mechanics first, then consistency, then intensity. Safety always comes first.


🚫 MYTH #2: “You have to be in shape to start.”

Truth: CrossFit is how you get in shape. You’ll never be “fit enough” to start — because every workout is designed to meet you where you are right now. We scale movements, adjust reps, and modify intensity based on your experience and comfort level.


🚫 MYTH #3: “Everyone’s competitive and intense.”

Truth: You’ll find high fives, not egos, at 033. Our community is filled with people of all ages and backgrounds working out together, encouraging each other, and celebrating wins — big and small. No one’s watching your score. They’re too busy cheering you on.


🚫 MYTH #4: “It’s only for young, athletic people.”

Truth: We coach teens, parents, professionals, and grandparents — because functional fitness doesn’t have an age limit. Our goal is to help you move better, feel stronger, and stay active for life. You don’t need a six-pack to belong here.
