We are going through the community pictures now and we took a glance at who was present last year at our "Annual Murph Challenge" on US Memorial Weekend. Or two years ago. It got us wondering at why some CrossFitters stop CrossFitting?

Through Replay CrossFit, Joe and I have the opportunity to meet amazing people from all walks of life. We would like to give SPECIAL THANKS to Andrei - one of our most committed members- for sharing his INCREDIBLE WEIGHT LOSS story with us. It's worth reading!
"I've recently joined the CrossFit experience at Replay in Pipera and I've realized that the type of training that I've done before doesn't compare to this. Not only is there a lot more technique on the exercises that they perform, but also there is an entire community which helps you thrive and be at your best performance.

Hello, Replay Athletes & Friends,
Every year on US Memorial Day, Americans honor those who have fallen in the line of duty.
As we are Replay CrossFit ~ The American Way we have a tradition of doing a workout called "Murph" on Saturday, 25 May - just like many Boxes around the world.
What is the "Murph Challenge"?
What keeps you HEALTHY and HAPPY as you go through LIFE?
Spoiler alert: It's not money, fame or work..
Our weight training post yesterday sparked an interesting discussion at the Box and brought a few stories into light...Some from our own community, some from my current living in Bucharest, so I've decided to quickly share mine today.
Few months back, it was time for my annual trip to "work medicine" (medicina muncii). I believe, every Romanian employee is familiar with this procedure.
During the appointment, I had the one of "those discussions" regarding weight training ...lifting stuff, basically.

CrossFit is so much more than just fitness.

“It’s the daily effort of performing constantly varied FUNCTIONAL movements at high intensity coupled with a diet of meat and vegetables , nuts and seeds , some fruit , little starch and no sugar that can REVERSE CHRONIC DISEASE.
Happy , lucky, proud, grateful... these are some of the words that better describe my experience with the OPEN this year, says Mihaela P.

When I was in school I skipped sport classes because I hated them. I completely avoided all sports. This is the longest relationship I’ve had with a gym! Today, people rarely work toward future improvements and I am no exception. But, in addition to the long-term benefits, Replay gives me instant rewards, too. Everybody wants the long-term benefits of CrossFit, but that is not what keeps me coming to the Box almost every day. What keeps me committed is the way I feel every time I come to Replay CrossFit. When I am in the Box and I listen to the Coach teaching me something new, I feel like a child: curious, trying to understand, attempting to learn. When I train I forget I have a job, tasks, chores, other roles in society. For one long moment, I am the sole inhabitant of my body and my mind and there is nothing more important than being my best self, physically and mentally. And when I finish training I feel like I did the best thing I could ever do with my time. When I see my small improvements, I acknowledge that every drop of sweat mattered and that I am constantly evolving for the best. And this is the GREAT lesson: If you want something, you must persist and it will happen for you.
For several years, I've been collecting gym subscriptions and not using them due to the boring "flatness" of the exercises. At Replay CrossFit I have found a new dynamic approach to my workouts - it's all about biomechanics and endurance of every dimension of your body. It was challenging in the beginning, but once you get to know the technique, there's nothing stopping you... only yourself! The classes that I've taken boosted my energy, accelerated my weight loss and muscle buildup in a sustainable and fun way. The community is awesome and always very supportive.
I recently went to Replay Cross Fit and as a former tennis player, I found it to be a much better than going to a regular gym. I love how challenging it is and how it keeps me motivated to become better with every workout. My favorite exercise is wall balls and my least favorite has to be burpees. Hands down! My goals are to improve my upper body strength, become stronger overall and just have a healthy lifestyle. This brings me to another great thing I love about Replay CrossFit --- I love being part of an awesome and supporting community that shares the same goals.
