Walking into a CrossFit box for the first time can make a fairly-in-shape-but-not-really person feel intimidated or nervous. Some people see the CrossFit Games on TV and gain the perception that they need to look like those ridiculously fit athletes and be able to squat 300lbs to be a CrossFitter.\n\nTruth is, that's not really the case, and CrossFit 602 will help you realize that.\n\nFirst of all, the overall atmosphere here is so ridiculously welcoming. The first time I came here everyone working out took the time to give me a heartfelt hello and introduce themselves. I was immediately greeted by Ken, who is one of the owners, and though he was clearly on his way out for the night he happily stuck around to give me a tour, a basic rundown of how they operate, and answer any questions I had.\n\nThe fact is, CrossFit is for everyone because the workouts are scaled to your ability, no matter what kind of shape you are in or how old you are. And there's no better place to start getting in shape than here. Like most CrossFit locations, this place is not decked out in the newest shiny equipment but that's because you don't need fancy ellipticals and weight machines to get a butt kicking workout. Instead you have barbells, pull up bars, medicine balls, tractor tires, kettlebells, etc...all the basics for the no-frills approach to fitness. You have plenty of support between the helpful and knowledgeable coaches and the encouraging people working out next to you. Consider me the newest dedicated member of CrossFit 602.
