This is week 4 of exploring our core values here at CrossFit Portsmouth. So far we have identified the importance of integrity, humility and gratitude. All three are integral in understanding that we were given an amazing opportunity to simply participate in the everyday events of our lives. Doing what’s right, being thankful for what we have, and understanding that none of it should be taken for granted.
This week we are going to examine the most obvious core value a place like CFP should prioritize, hard work. There is no substitute for it, and everyone knows if you want to see results, there is only one way to do it.
“To give anything less than your best is to sacrifice the gift.”
