From solo workouts to a community: Elcin
Elcin told this story after 100 visits to CrossFit Leiden. What stood out most was not an exercise.
“What I like the most about my journey here: the people, I think, to be honest.”

More focus
Elcin used to work out alone and thought that was working. Still, something was missing.
“What I really needed was more focus, like a bit more of a structure.”
Knowing your own strengths and weaknesses is hard to work out alone.
“That’s something I didn’t know how to figure out on my own.”
A conversation
Elcin already knew CrossFit Leiden existed and dropped in for a conversation. What Elcin was looking for turned out to be there.
“So I just signed up to join and start working with the coaches here.”
The people
“It is of course about sports. We come here to really work it out.”
“The difference here is that the community here is awesome.”
CrossFit is known for its community. To Elcin it mostly feels comfortable.
“Really be who you are, just join, come as you are and learn.”
Stay open
The advice for anyone starting: be open to learning your strengths and your focus areas.
“It’s really the people who make that happen here.”
Come as you are.
