CrossFit Your Life

CrossFit® is one of the greatest fitness inventions of all time. From the workouts to the coaches to the community, CrossFit is magic. There's just one problem.

Despite all you get inside the box, the benefits rarely translate outside its walls. What you need is a way to CrossFit your life.

What Happens When The Workout is Over?

Maintaining a CrossFit level of commitment, motivation, and camaraderie in your relationships, work, and habits can feel impossible. With no one to coach you, its on you to own it.

If you don't have a high degree of personal self-discipline, things can fall apart once the workout is over. Consider these areas...

Diet

It's crazy that you work out as hard as you do and follow it up with failing on your commitments around food.

Drink

CrossFit athletes tend to go all-in on everything they do. But justifying the choice to overindulge because you got your workout in undermines all your hard work.

Life

Choices like these (and others) dramatically affect your sleep, your ability to give in your relationships, and makes your job feel like a slog.

About Dane

I'm Dane Sanders. Years ago, my buddy Tim and I were inspired to create Men & Women Of Discomfort (MWOD). Later, I discovered CrossFit and have been a six day a week athlete ever since. Professionally, my training and practice are in business, leadership, and character development.

CrossFit and I collab'd on a documentary featuring Annie, the 93-year-old CrossFit athlete. The film was featured at the launch of the CrossFit Open and has been viewed by millions. That said, CrossFit® is a registered trademark of CrossFit, LLC and its inclusion here does not imply any official endorsement or affiliation with MWOD.

Discipline Beyond the Box

Consider Men & Women Of Discomfort.

MWOD fits hand in glove with CrossFit. It extends the 'learning how to do hard things' ethos to every area of your life. You'll add great habits while removing bad ones. You'll become more self-aware than ever before, gaining strength and resilience in the whole of your life.

MWOD is not just about losing weight, either. It's a sustainable life operating system. Trying to do all this on your own is exhausting. It’s also a recipe for failure.

Think about it: When you show up at CrossFit, the WOD is decided for you. You put your head down and you do the work. Then, when you leave the box, the stresses of your job, relationships, and responsibilities all kick in. Who is supposed to program for the rest of your life?

MWOD’s Secret Sauce

The process is simple. You make one choice, and just like your CrossFit Coach, MWOD prescribes the rest of your choices. The only difference is it goes way beyond fitness.

Keep Your Word

Participation isn't a commitment to MWOD. It's a commitment to yourself. Will you be all-in? Will you give yourself to the process? Will you keep your word?

The Invitation

The next step is to APPLY.

Once accepted, the price to participate is $99/month.

We then give half of every CrossFit athlete's MWOD membership dues to your local CrossFit box. It's our way of saying thank you to CrossFit for everything they do.

Becoming an MWOD isn't easy. Voluntary discomfort never is. It's not for everyone. It takes a certain kind of person to consistently choose to do hard things.

None of this is a surprise to you, though. You understand that certain benefits can only come from challenge. It's not a question of understanding.

It really comes down to a simple decision... are you in?

The health benefits you get from MWOD are lagging indicators of what happens in your character. The weight loss and muscle were nice, but the life change was gold.
