Today's 8:30am class brought up a great point about the benefits of group exercise.  In a Crossfit 808 class setting, you are more likely to achieve more than you would alone.  In fact, studies have shown that group exercise can be beneficial. "Working out in a group provides support, accountability, and structure," says Lynne Vaughan, Chief Innovation Officer of the national YMCA. "People don't want to let their buddy or group down, which is terrific in terms of adherence to an exercise routine."  Working out with others brings camaraderie to your daily routine.

Didn't someone smart say that two heads are better than one?  Well, in CrossFit the more the merrier!  So, if you're in a rut with your workouts come have fun with us at CrossFit 808.
