Very relatable. It seems that people get uncomfortable when confronted with someone who has set a goal to get fitter and healthier and really pursues this goal. Even when i eat healthy at work i get lots of comments. Everyone has an opinion about my lunch 😂 Love your content. Keep it up! 👍🏻💪🏻.

Every day I would literally try to wait until no one was in the lunchroom, to open my can of albacore and cut up an apple and take it back to my office. Or if unavoidable, I would be as quick and discreet as possible, but inevitably the chubby people eating their McDonalds and giant cokes would chime in "OMG Why are you eating THAT???!!! You don't need to lose weight!!..." (and continue on about it) Um, yes, exactly.🙄

This is me...shadowboxing in the park, doing wind sprints, throwing sandbags around while randoms watch me like I'm some gladiator in an arena...and that's the thing. When you aren't ordinary, everything you do makes you the man in the Arena.

I'm 34 and you're my favourite Crossfit athlete. For me it's an inspiration that you managed to turn your life around at 40 and become the athlete that you are. And I just want to add one thing to this video, I don't really care what strangers think of me, what hits me is when people close to you try to talk you down of that life style. The social pressure to not be as fit, train every day, eat dirty and drink alcohol is big and very distracting. Anyways, keep going, Love your videos, Love from Portugal

Way to make it happen!

Thanks so much for this video, Jason. This year I have been slowly learning compound lifts and getting programming help from an experienced trainer. The gym is not my natural environment (lifetime cardio junkie) and I have quite pronounced social anxiety, so the way that I’ve figured out to “get it done” consistently and be as weird as I want to be is by joining a locally owned gym that has 24-hour access. I’ve figured out that nobody is there at 2am, so that’s where you’ll find me - headphones on - cranking out workouts in the middle of the night. It’s peaceful and I don’t have to deal with the covertly competitive or show-off environment that often exists anywhere that weights are involved in a gym. Even at that, it is a little lonely sometimes. Of course I’m nowhere near your level and I’m not even a Crossfitter, but It’s nice to come here and see you working out and sharing your perspective. Without knowing you or any of the folks commenting at all I feel some camaraderie. That’ll carry me into this weekend’s workouts!

As a cyclist both outdoor and indoor I can relate to this. On "vacation" in hot summer places, I always go out riding in the morning. Sure some people would think I'm a fanatic or crazy, but if they are my age they usually look at least 10 years older than me with their beer bellies and unhealthy looks. Cycling indoors on a veranda next to the road where neighbours walk by, is also good. Surely they think I'm a lunatic, but hopefully some get a little inspiration and do some workout of their own, when they see how I push myself and enjoy it.

I train because I need to, I train daily because if I dont, I could quite easily slip back into that average lifestyle that nearly cost me everything and I cant afford that. I train to strengthen my body, my mind and my soul, I train so that my kids have a healthy strong father and role model who has the energy to play and support them when the going gets tough, i train to protect my body and my family. Im weird.....and proud. And nothing will change that.
