Global WOD Project An international adventure structured around working out (and observing the culture) in CrossFit box

Join me as I document my adventures with an interactive map, blog, recipe page, photos and videos at http://www.globalwodproject.com. I'll be observing how the CrossFit community, nutrition, the active fitness lifestyle and women's athletics fit into the larger regional culture. In addition, I plan to profile female CrossFitters on the impact CrossFit has rendered on their eating habits, career+work, and overall lifestyle.

--What is it about CrossFit that crosses cultural boundaries?
--Is there an underlying culture, communication style, or set of core beliefs that binds CrossFitters?
--Where does that culture come from and how it is communicated (formally or informally)? If you've ever had the distinct experience of visiting a CrossFit box you know how welcoming the community can be. I've decided there's no better way to experience these global hotspots than through the eyes of local CrossFitters (some of the most active, adventurous, giving and community-oriented people I've met).

"Owner of CrossFit Natural State (AR) had a member that has 5 kids (who do CrossFit Kids). The oldest boy Kaden, who's 11, has lymphoma and this is his second bout with it.

Luke (gym owner) asked me on Facebook if I could send a picture holding a sign saying 'Get Well Kaden' because he's a big fan ... So instead, me and Hill decided to drive 4 hours to Memphis to surprise him."

Pat Sherwood doing his own Global WOD Project.

Motorcycle nomad Pat Sherwood is forced to embrace his weaknesses and finds he’s still got strengths. I’m not a talented Olympic lifter, and that doesn’t bother me. I would get my ass kicked by Lindsey Valenzuela, Elisabeth Akinwale or Camille Leblanc-Bazinet using the same loading. I practice the s...

Since she arrived at UB, I've eagerly awaited this Awesome. I have SO much respect for this woman, it brings happy tears to my eyes to write this. I've known her since 2009, when we worked together in San Diego. We shared beach stair workouts and indoor soccer there, and I like to take credit for pu...
